It has bigger potencial...but...

I give 4* because of Jo Han-Chul. I only know him as a positive character, and here he gave such psycho-switched scenes that I was incredibly fascinated. The other characters did not significantly surprise, but they did not disrupt the series either. I know the I-love-you-but-pretend-to-hate-you type of relationship rejection is corny but I enjoyed this Lee-Seung Gi fest as well as the constant bickering between the main characters in the beginning. The character of the clever and wise main female character is great. Perhaps the chemistry between the main characters on the part of Lee Se-Yeong was a little lame for me. Lee Seung-Gi was great and played it really well, but I feel that it was somehow cold from the female character's side. More emotions went out of her in The Red Sleeve with Lee Jun-Ho. On the other hand, Ahn Dong Goo was throwing such glances here that he deserves more space and scenes :). Overall, it was a fun watch, had a lot of funny scenes, and dealt with important legal issues along the way.

Yun Ji On is the best!

(It contains only a slight spoiler). At the beginning, the series introduces you to the life of the main woman character, who lives with the ability to hear when someone is lying. That would sometimes suit everyone but only sometimes. She hears the lies all the time. And this causes problems in the family, she basically isolates herself from other people and friends, except for the two who work for her. She cleverly builds a business on her skills and uncovers lies for clients as a so-called shaman. This job of hers brings fun scenes. However, a new inhabitant of the neighboring apartment intervenes in her life, who is mysterious and always wears a veil covering her face and avoids people. To her surprise, she discovers that he is not lying to her. But gradually it is revealed that her new neighbor is a publicly known person, a music composer who is hiding from the world because he was suspected of murder in the past. In the series, we also encounter the corruption of a policeman by a politician. And we have another policeman (a very nice actor), an ex-boyfriend of the main character, who doesn't like something about the main character. And it happens that both the protagonist and the policeman investigate the past and look for the real perpetrator. And as usual, the ex-boyfriend suspects the current one, and the current one suspects everyone, except the real one, because sometimes we don't see what's in front of us. Everything would be great. The main character, Kim So Hyun, is pleasant and the role suits her. Hwang Min Hyun was sometimes super mysterious, and confident, but sometimes reserved, and scared. I couldn't move a little in it. I liked him so much in the role of mysterious, charismatic, but self-confident with quick reflexes and with a sword behind his belt (yes, I guess I can't get rid of his fight scenes from Alchemy of Souls :D). The chemistry between the main characters is okay but I needed somehow more and what bothered me was that the creators did this again: after the main characters get close, the first kiss falls....and then they treat each other as if they are 15 years old and they look like as if nothing happened, or they are shy and it's embarrassing. Why do this with adults? oh ... for this, I'm lowering the rating, they could have grown up to this... but what I appreciate the most is Yun Ji On (the main character's best friend). I saw him for the first time in the series Tomorrow, where he impressed me so neutrally and I thought, hmm, quite an interesting actor... But here he wiped my eyes out. Brutal acting, and charisma, he looked so great there. Perfect. I was so captivated by him. Every movement, gesture, look, tone of voice, sentence ... everything was elaborate. I went through everything with him and I kept thinking to myself, how could someone live such a life and suffocate everything? What was it good for? This character in the series has led to many questions and controversies, and because of him, this series is worth watching.

775 / 5 000
I have to admit that I was worried about this series. That's because I didn't know what to expect from Kim Hye-Yoon. I saw her in Snowdrop, so I didn't know how her role would fit here in this series. Concerns were removed very quickly. The series looks good. The plot is fluid, tense, funny, entertaining but also serious and sad. The theme of time travel is not new, but the creators handled it well. The story has its own mystery and nice processing. But I have to admit that she was nervous about the last part, and I was waiting to see if there would be some twist at the end. And yes, Byeon Woo-seok charms many a woman's heart. You can also find his singing performances on Spotify under the name of the fictional serial group Eclipse:-D. And singer 10CM also released a great OST song - Spring snow.

You definitely must watch it! Amazing storyline, acting, and combination of humor and love.

This series is a masterpiece :D. I like boyish humor so much. I returned back to the college to the period when I was with my friends-guys every day :D. There are plenty of funny scenes. I had a lot of fun with all the arguments, conflicts, rivalries, and provocations. The boys were a great group and the main couple was perfect. Pran (Nanon), the type who has to have everything arranged, stored, and orderly, goes everywhere on time. He is more serious, more introverted, responsible, hard-working, and a bit reserved, but easily provoked by Pat (Ohm) who is a bit of a brothel, more extroverted, has a lot of fun, talks a lot, laughs, likes to provoke and dig. They contrast nicely but sparks fly between them like on New Year's Eve. An excellent romantic line but not too sweet. It wasn't sweet talk like between a man and a woman, there was a touch of boyish humor here as well. It made it all the more real to me. They gradually built healthy relationships between two equal partners. The serious scenes were heart-wrenching (arguing parents who beat each other and their children, really?..what if they got along normally...would they end up just as friends? or would there be something more to it anyway?). And the already mentioned scene on the roof was breathtaking again. You have to watch it more than once. It's an emotional charge from both actors. The viewer will say that finally! and immediately he feels so heavy and sorry. Great contrast of emotions of both characters/actors. They waited several hours to shoot this scene because it was raining. They filmed it sometimes at 4 o'clock in the morning, which also affected their emotions. It's one of the top scenes from all the series I've seen so far. And to top it off, amazing music. oh, wow, wow. And one more tidbit. In the scene where Pran plays the guitar and sings for Pat at night on the beach, they couldn't see each other because there was a wall between them that they had to put up for lighting. Pat can only hear Pran. They both act out this scene based on their ideas of the other. -----------------   Edit: Seen again. Beautiful, wonderful. And the soundtrack is great. Director, actors, scenes, camera, editing, costumes. Everything excellent. A joy to watch. But I have to take a break so I don't get fed up with it :D. But I can't give up singing Nanon. Edit: seen 4 times. #I can't stop watching it! #OhmNanon

What is behind K-pop

Such a great game with the audience. Doona's memory scraps heighten the viewer's curiosity to know more. It differs from classic k-dramas as we know them in terms of plot, visualization, and script. Suzy Bae was a surprise to me that she embarked on something more serious, more psychologically demanding. Yang Se-Jong was perfect. The last time I saw him was in 30 but 17, where he was fine, but here he exceeded my expectations. He can be funny, but also incredibly sensitive in serious scenes. That relationship / friendship and funny scenes are pleasantly entertaining, but it is Suzy Bae's character that hides secrets and a story. And it is here that you have to pay attention and watch why she lives the way she does and thus look into her past as a member of a K-pop group. And here we get to secret places that the common human cannot see. Anyone who knows a little about how K-pop groups are formed and trained is not surprised. And the fact that because of her small "misstep," she was actually put to the house where she was hidden and lonely, where no one knew about her, is also not new in the K-pop world. If you don't know anything about K-pop, I recommend that you find something out first so that you know that their life is no joke. And music industry agencies have everything in their hands. Most episodes in the series went slowly but smoothly. Only the last two had a rapid turn, so the viewer has to focus more on the plot because each shot can mean a jump in time. In the finale, we see a pair of ordinary people who have formed a normal couple and live together vs. the central couple, which ended indeterminately... the end is basically up to the viewer... what makes me anxious with such endings... so if there was at least some shot that after x years when her contract ends, what would it be... The series has an atypical 9 episodes. The creators didn't unnecessarily drag out the story, even though I wouldn't be against it. Finally, the best soundtrack songs for me are Daylight from BIG Naughty and Ordinary Day from Suzy. I wish I could see her singing this song live.

Would you like to remember your past lives?

I give 5 stars for the beautiful scenes, story, and cast. I found Ahn Bo Hyun a little awkward, but that's probably the character of the series. For me, a slightly more active character type suits him better. And I would cut his hair right away. Looking at him made me wonder if he could see through that hair and if he really didn't mind :D. And definitely less makeup. Shin Hye-Seon is an incredible actress for me. I don't know why, but it happened to me again that I thought this series would be bullshit and boring. But I was really surprised. The secondary characters were promising and had engaging and dramatic scenes. In the last scene, I was embarrassed for them too :D. I was expecting a slightly more adult approach. Nevertheless, I would like to see Ahn Dong-Goo in a series where he would be the main character. The storyline was excellent. Flashbacks to past lives and remembering the past kept me on edge. I think this series will make everyone wonder if there is reincarnation and what it would be like to remember past lives. For me, definitely do not remember the past lives.
