So Meaningful

Highly recommend.

Its a story about a kind and gentle man who is taking of his daughter. A lot of ups and downs but still heartwarming.

Everything is so meaningful in this drama—really awesome theme about the will. The will of a person passes on to their loved one. Shizuku's mother really loved flowers. Then Shiomi Eiji [Shizuku's father] started a flower shop because of Shizuku and her mother. Then Shirato Mio became a florist in the end because of Eiji.

Great father and daughter relationship. Many characters are dynamic; all have flaws but are forgiven in the end.

Masterful writing

One of the best drama ever. From the beginning to the end, it was thrilling, suspenseful, and interesting to watch. There was never a moment when I thought this was not a good drama.

All of the characters especially Dam and her friends were super relatable. I felt as if they were living similar life as me but with supernatural elements in it.

I just love everything from the beautiful tune (sound like water drops with nostalgia feeling attracted to it) to the masterful writing piece.

At the end, Shin Woo: “Miss Dam, you were supposed to keep the marble, not fall in love with its owner.”
Dam: “You were supposed to steal my energy, not my heart.” It was great how it ended the way it started.

All of the actors played their role excellently.

Thrilling

This was a great thriller drama with so many mysterious elements like Prosecutor Park Woong Joon's fiance, Yeon Hee, disappearing right before their wedding. Detective Yang Shi On, our FL who has the ability to see ghosts, is shown to be extremely smart even though she spent 6 years in a coma and can't seem to recall any events with Detective Lee Hyung Joon who is later revealed to her boyfriend and also happened to be in a coma but is proclaimed to be dead to the world. Detective Shi On makes a lot of dubious descisions just because ghosts are bothering her like walking to the hill in the middle of the night. She is bold but can get killed easily without plot armors. Detective Cha Gun Woo who happens to be at the right place at the right time always chases after Detective Shi On and ends up saving her but Detective Shi On is always leaving Detective Cha Gun Woo in the dark by not revealing the fact that she can see ghosts (understandable) and how she managed to get in trouble and solved the cases concurrently. Betrayal is also massively emphasized in this drama like how someone like Detective Choi Moo Shik chooses to betray people around him especially detective Detective Cha Gun Woo, Detective Shi On, and Lee Hyung Joon even as if he was being forced by his situations or the superior. Its even get more absurd when Detective Shi On leaves Detective Cha Gun Wo who is in a hospital bed after confessing to him that she needs him to be always with him because she finds out that Detective Lee Hyung Joon is still alive form Detective Cha Gun Woo. I get the fact that since her memories were lost and she spent 6 years in a coma so her memories are still fresh after gaining them back but she didn't have to leave Detective Gun Woo like that who has always been there for her. And with the way the story was flowing, it seems like Detective Shin On would not have ended up with Detective Cha Gun Woo if Detective Lee Hyung Joon didn't decide to pass away to the afterlife. I feel like the writer's purposely killed Detective Lee Hyung Joon as he was not the ML but an obstruction to the ML romance with FL. The writer making those kinds of decisions ruins the plot because why bring the dead to alive [in a coma] when you are going to kill him again? But I did like how the writer chose to correspond the last episode to the very episode which was very interesting.

Son Goku

One of the main reasons why I watch this drama is because of the original story of the Monkey King. This drama does have a lot of extra elements but it does stay loyal to the original story. It's also very funny especially Wang Ma moments. The relationship between Wang Ma and Son is really genuine; even though they seem to be against each other they are always looking out for another drama. I really their bromance over the main romance between ML and FL. Maybe, because I saw many good actresses in the past, I found Sam Jang [Oh Yeon Seo] acting skills to be lacking particularly her facial expression which didn't fit some of the scenes. Otherwise, she did a fair job. I like the zombie girl [Lee Se Young] better as she really plays the role of innocent girl and evil concurrently to its potential. All other characters were very unique as well like Pk and Yoon Dae Shik which made it more fun to fun. This drama also seems to play heaven as the "bad guy" because of love but then again the heaven is meant to carry out destinies to balance the force between peoples' free will and the universe. Aso, not the typically happy ending but it was understandable because Son and Wanf seem be more expressive of one another at the end and Wang also found his son. Wang and Son are one of the best duos in K-drama. I really feel like there could be a season two for this as there were a lot of unanswered questions or reunions.

Amazing

Very short and sweet. When I first came across, I wasn’t really anticipating it to be good but wow, every scene left me awe. Even though it was a simple story, I was truly invested into it. I loved the chemistry between the lead: very cute. Other characters didn’t get much screen time but their roles were still impactful. Dramacool had bad English subbing for this particular drama but I could still understand the emotions felt by the characters and the message of the story. Although its harsh but I love how they stick with “if we time travel to the past, we can change it but events will inevitably occurs with different actors.” Might not be totally truly but it satisfies my curiosity of time traveling and making changes in the past.

"Bloody"

Just as the title suggests, this drama is really "bloody". This drama is about a weak female lead (Wan Mei ) who gradually matures up and became stronger to fulfill her mission to became a chief so other assassins girls won't suffer as she did. Wan Mei gets used by others so much and ends up being in big trouble throughout the story. The drama also shows the struggles of each character and the reason behind their wrongdoings and every one of them has their own mission.

Although this show is not romance-driven, it is highly appreciated. There is a shadow (assassin's slave) name ChangAn who loves her unconditionally and sacrifice everything for her. The love has between Chang and Wei is so beautiful and pure, even there are some tough misunderstandings like when she was captured and went torture, it doesn't become an obstruction for their affection. They truly show that they love each other from the beginning to the very end and that no one can come between them. There is a romance between other characters but it's either unrequited or a terrible ending.

The ending was not satisfying for me but it was nice to see the character growth of Wan Mei at the end.

Mindblowing

Absolutely love it. If you want to enjoy this drama, don’t read the comments although you probably are since you are reading this (lol). Even though the first few episodes are very misleading when it comes to romance; Second Lead feels like Main Lead and it's also easier to emphasize with the Female Lead and Second Lead more (past connection - hope) than the Female and Male Lead. But this drama show you that you have to move on from your past and live in the present as Female Lead does even as she struggles to face reality (lies) in the beginning. But still, Han Ji Pyung [our SL] was the best character in this show: Caring, Self-Made, and a Realist. This drama was really interesting and it showed an essential part of a “Start-Up” business and character development which I really loved.

A touching story!

A hidden gem: great acting by all actors especially child the actor of Geum Bi. If you want to watch a masterpiece, sad, family drama with characters development, this is the show for you. Every line and every scene is beautifully crafted, i could really feel the emotions of the characters and their situation. As much sad it is, its even more hearting warming and endearing. Truly a beautiful articulated drama.

Geum Bi character showed that having willingness to help other will change them in a better way. I love how she changed everyone around slowly. It was great to see that.

Amazing!

This drama was short and sweet, there are 30 episodes but each episode is only about 20 minutes long. The one thing I really love about this drama is consistency. Even though the characters go through their development, their core belief or actions remains the same throughout the story.

Gong Joo Young is a goofy, gullible, and persistent person which can be seen when he falls in love with Wang Ja Rim and pursues her even as he gets rejected. Nowadays, constantly approaching someone is seen as harassment, annoying, or stalking with evil intention but Joo Youn shows use that he purely loves her through his actions which are annoying and cute at the same time and finally wins her over. Joo Young does mature a little bit throughout the shows but he remains the same person as when he first met Ja Rim who is always chasing after her and showing his love gestures.

Wang Ja Rim is shown to be very cold and unfriendly to even her friends sometimes, but she changes by the end. Because of Joo Young, Ja Rim begins to say things she wouldn't say otherwise. Although, she still remains a cold and unfriendly person she is more expensive toward her friends and especially her boyfriend Joo Young. The interaction between Ja Rim and Joo Young was really cute.

Kyung Woo is a character that is shown to be a loyal friend from beginning to the end even though he does develop feelings for his friend Joo Young's girlfriend, Ja Rim. Kyung Woo also tries to build Joo Young and Ja Rim's relationship to become stronger instead of becoming a hindrance. The ending does leave us, the audience with a lot of questions though.

Great drama to watch in a day if not couple of days!

Brilliant

One of the best dramas ever. Doctor John truly focuses on real and unique issues/cases. I feel like Doctor John is fairly accurate considering how it tries to show the necessity of properly catering to any patients and the idea/morality of euthanasia [not the same as assisted success]. The first episode is epic, Doctor John performs surgery on himself and became the king or leader (not literally but everyone fears him since then) of jail without intending to. The series is top-notch, however, it does intend to exaggerate a lot especially ML's ability to analyze and executed surgery but ML is a patient himself [CIP - can't feel pain] who tries to understand his patient's pain merely through their description or body characteristics/reaction like rashes and itchiness so it's understandable. According to researches, missing one of our senses usually intends to enhance other senses based on individual needs and environments. The ending is similar to most dramas where ML goes missing and comes back which was cliches; I really didn't enjoy it however I was the happy cause of the happy ending.

Sweet

This drama was very warm and exciting to watch. Every episode was filled with such an amazing story especially Mr. Kim's story [separated from lover due to lover employer selfishness] which was tear-jerking. The side story of Mr. Kim highlights what most Korean dramas try to point out which is “You have something to say or do, do it yourself. Don't let others do it for you as misunderstanding or separation will occur.” It also made me laugh so hard and get butterflies. There was also a sense of mystery which is extremely good. The chemistry between the main leads was top notch. Go Ara is a spoiled woman, but it wasn't portrayed in a way that makes you hate, instead, she is shown as a carefree personality with a good heart. Although she isn't a stupid clueless girl like in some drama which I really don’t like. I love it when the Go Ara says, “Jun.” The ending felt a little rush and out of place but I’m glad it was a happy one.
