it is funny dumb, ykwim right?

okay to be brutally honest, i started this drama because of Kim Min Gue (of course) and Go Bo Gyeol (i first thought it was Kim Tae Ri and i was so shocked. when i realised Go wasn't her but in fact she played the step-sister of Park So Dam in Cinderella and The Four Knights, i flipped!!!!!)

the start was so good- the comedy, the chemistry, the bickering and even the confusion. i enjoyed it until at one point i started fast forwarding everything (expect the comic scenes and the romance). somewhere it started feeling a little dumb, but so what we are here to escape reality after all. overall, it was a good watch but the ending was so rushed. what was best and unique about this was that this drama showed the chemistry between the leads' feet- the fact that in the end Rambrary would feel a sense of deja vu seeing Kim Dal's swinging on her feet was so cute. what i couldn't understand is why Kim Dal was ever ready to sacrifice herself for others. i understand her trauma but somewhere along the line she became a bit frustrating. Rambrary seemed like an idiot because he was easily swayed by everyone and anyone, a character who believes anything anyone says without better judgement; it wasn't until the very last episode where he realizes that he was played for a fool. he became more frustrating than the FL. at one point i even started shipping Kim Dal with Gam Jae (the grim reaper), and who didn't? i literally saw sparks flying between them (,,,^_^,,,). in fact Gam Jae was so *chef's kiss*. the way he was always shocked with Dal and her intelligence and even asked her to be a grim reaper was so good and so hilarious. i was disappointed because they didn't show the bonding of the band members with Rambrary when he revealed his identity. and what else when disclosed that the real Woo Yeon was in fact never existed and was an imposter, my brain just refused to accept it.

again, the ending was very very rushed. it would have been good had there been at least 2 more episodes. it would have been better if they had shown the Rambrary as himself and the band mates and their build up. what else i wish they have given a little more effort when they reunited the leads. i wanted a proper reunion not a one as rushed as this.

the drama is a light watch. 'give it a go to relive stress' kind of drama. dumb but funny and gives jitters a little here and there. personally. i think it isn't for a rewatch. so, for those wanted to rewatch, don't. because if you do you would be doing any one of the two: either (a)you will start being critical of everything in it or (b) you just skip to the parts that give you the laughs.
