I loved the comedy aspect (+my explanation for the ending)

The acting was rly spectacular. I personally think that Shin Hye Sun and Na In Woo nailed their characters.
Shin Hye Sun was amazingly versatile in showing both the differences and similarities (in the spinoff) between BH & SY, and her portrayal of Sobong's mannerisms and thinking expressions were really on point. Na In Woo did so well in playing the 'villain' that wasn't really a villain at the same time, who was so heartbreakingly selfless in his love towards SY.

For the story, I didn't love the ending, but it's to be expected for time-travelling historical dramas. I think that a lot of explanation is required for the ending to be satisfying and even then, it depends on an individual to decide whether they found the ending to be satisfactory. For me, I like to think of it like this (kinda to comfort myself):
-BH and SY shared the same body, which is why BH's body was in a vegetative state, and there was no swapping, nor was SY's soul in the lake.
-SY was there and felt his presence, and was completely aware of what was going on (when BH left, she said that he was gone, and didn't seem shocked about where she was or what was happening).
-I think it's just that BH was the dominant one the entire time, though as time went on, SY became more dominant (in later eps he could feel her hormones and her romantic feelings, and told her to back off, and it wasn't just him being dramatic haha).
-SY was hiding(as she said in ep20), and BH helped her become more confident (eg so she could swear in ep 20), while she helped BH change (when he went back his past had changed for the better). SY and BH have similar personalities(as shown in the spinoff), though BH is crazier.
-I'd also like to think that CJ fell for SY before BH was there (because of a scene in the spinoff), but he suppressed his feelings after finding out that SY was from the Andong Kim clan.
-Also, Kim Jung Hyun (actor for CJ) replied to a question in a live and said that it didn't matter whether CJ knew that BH was gone cuz it didn't matter whose soul was in the body, what mattered was how he chose to see SY from his perspective.

Anyways, I loved the comedy aspect of the drama. Sobong, her interactions the other characters, and crazy mannerisms, were the reason I started the drama in the first place.
Also, I love how Byeong-In was written and how they made me feel so sad for him. He loved SY selflessly from the start and was always there for her (eg in flashbacks, and before CJ cared for her in the early eps, though sometimes he was a bit overkill haha), plus how he sacrificed himself for SY and was killed by a hitman sent by his father. Additionally, I love that he was the only one to realise that SY had changed (tho BH told him he wasn't SY... but hey he realised that SY was still there, and BH didn't tell him that :"D)

Anyways, I think the ending is one of the happier options we could have gotten, considering the face that it's a time-travelling historical drama, though maybe they could have made us understand SY better with more flashbacks. Although the ending may not be 100% satisfying, I find the entire story and the episodes leading up to the ending so funny and enjoyable that I still think this drama is worth a watch.

I watched it with low expectations because of what other people's reviews about it, but from an unbiased point of view, I personally didn't find it that bad. I think that there are some draggy parts but the premise is quite interesting, and the plot was okay. The ost didn't stand out either. The acting wasn't amazing 100% of the time, though I think that the writing also played a big part in making the drama not as good as it could have been. I think that the best part of the drama is Woo Do Hwan and his characters Jo Yeong and Eun Sop. They're definitely my favourites and allowed Woo Do Hwan's acting skills to shine. I also liked Kim Kyung Nam's character. Another issue is that there are quite a lot of plot holes and not all the loose ends were tied up. One thing to note is that my friend watched it on a website where the location (Kingdom or Corea or Republic of Korea) and year were not shown so she was quite confused. Since I watched it on Netflix and the year and the location were written, I was not as confused and so I enjoyed it more than her.

TLDR, in general, the show was alright and if there's any reason to watch it, it would be Woo Do Hwan and his characters.

I originally watched this movie because of Park Hyung Sik, whom I've followed since watching Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. However, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the plot of this movie, which I found was very heartwarming. I also think that the character growth of the characters shown throughout the movie was written very well, and the actors did a very good job at portraying their characters. The only thing I find lacking is that I wish I was told more about what happened to the main character's business after the trial ended.
TLDR is that I recommend this movie because I think the plot and acting were great.

The plot is quite light-hearted, and there's not much tension. The main focus is the couple and I feel that the actors portrayed their characters well, though I do prefer the female lead to the male lead. I think that the overall plot was pleasant and that the ending was quite satisfying as well. The reason why I didn't give a higher rating is very personal, which is because the main lead wasn't my type at all and I had a hard time watching him act cute, so I just had to skip those parts because I was cringing, which I feel guilty about.

TLDR, if you want to watch a cute, light-hearted drama, and the male lead is your type, this drama is for you.

One of my favourite dramas

I personally really loved the plot of this drama, and I think that its premise is very interesting. Though some may have seen the ending coming, I did not, and I felt that the ending was very satisfactory. I liked the balance of thriller and romance. I also really liked the acting, and I was surprised at idol Park Jin Young's acting ability, as I felt like he conveyed his character's personality well, and the way his character's experiences had affected him. I also felt that the other actors such as Kwon Kim and Kim Da Som did a very good job at conveying their characters' personalities. The OST is also very good, and I found myself listening to it on repeat for days after finishing the drama.

TLDR, I would recommend because of the great plot and the great acting.

I watched this right after watching Goblin, and I personally find that this drama is the perfect drama to watch after Goblin because I found it very healing, as if this was another one of their lives. I love the leads, their chemistry is amazing, and I think that the actors were well-casted. The plot of the drama is very cute and fluffy, so if you want to watch a drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this drama isn't for you. I enjoyed the plot and also how the ending was handled. The OST is very nice as well, and I added some of the songs to my playlist.

TLDR, this is a fluffy and cute drama, and I think that if you want to watch a drama that is healing after Goblin, this is the perfect drama for you to watch.

I really liked this lighthearted and cute drama. I found the plot interesting even though it was a rom-com without any thriller factor. The plot wasn't draggy and there was the right amount of conflict to keep the plot going. I enjoyed observing the dynamic between the friends in the drama and found the ending was satisfactory. I found that the main characters had a lot of chemistry, (also, Nam Joo Hyuk is very cute) and all of the actors did good jobs at portraying their characters and their personalities.

TLDR, I recommend this drama if you want to watch a lighthearted rom-com drama and the chemistry between the leads.

I really liked the plot, which I feel sent a very meaningful message to viewers, and caused me to become reflective as well. The main reason why I thought this drama was good is because of its message and story that it tells. Though some felt that Cha Eunwoo's acting was bad, I personally feel that he was just portraying his character's stoic and rigid personality, and it is not that he is unable to express emotions. Kang Mi Rae grew on me as well, even though I did not particularly like her at the start, the actress did a good job at portraying her character as well, and it allowed me to become understanding of her character. I also think that the other actors did good jobs as well.
TLDR, I'd recommend this drama mainly because the plot is meaningful, but also because the acting is good.

To start off with the good things, I think that the acting was good, the drama is generally quite cute and also, Rowoon is very cute. I think that the premise of the drama is very good, and the drama started off as very promising and interesting, but I did not really like the ending. Though others may say that the main girl did not change a single thing and her entire world revolved around Ha Ru, I personally think that she tried her best to the very end, but the thing is that the writer of the comic would not allow her to actually change things. I also didn't find the drama too repetitive, which is what some others have found the drama to be. However, this drama's ending wasn't very satisfactory for me, and I feel that the ending was a sad one, as they would just have to wait until they are drawn in a comic to be together, then be separated after the comic ends, trapped in an endless cycle. TLDR, this drama is good if you are able to accept the ending.

This was the first kdrama I watched and really liked, so I may be a bit biased (also because Park Hyung Sik is really cute). Some may think that the lovey-dovey parts of the show did not mix well with the dark & gory parts, but I personally loved the contrast and felt like the 'darker' part of the drama made it more balanced. I particularly loved the casting, and I feel that Park Hyung Sik and Park Bo Young (Puppy Couple) had amazing chemistry. I often rewatch clips of them because I find their interactions adorable. (On a sidenote, this drama also holds value to me because it introduced me to kpop, since I found out that Park Hyung Sik is friends with V from BTS).

I personally found this drama to be interesting, maybe because I perceived certain aspects of the drama differently. I liked the plot, particularly the ending, which I found to be emotional and satisfactory. I also liked the acting of the leads, and their chemistry was great. I think that the only problem with the drama is the first episode, which I found was a bit too absurd. The OST was very catchy as well, and I found myself searching for the OST after completing the drama.

TLDR, I personally really liked the drama and would recommend it to others if they are willing to persevere through the first episode.

I found the plot to be pretty good, but the ending was just so sad to me. I went to sleep and woke up sad because I was so sad from the ending that I had a sad dream too. I love the acting and the visuals of the drama are just absolutely amazing. The story conveyed was really good to me as it was heartfelt, but the problem is that now, every time I think of this drama, I get sad, and every time someone in another drama dies, I think of this drama. The thing about the ending that made me so sad is that everyone left, and seeing the empty hotel made me feel really down. Although it is expressed that they meet again in their next lives, for me, I'm still left with the impression that the main characters did not end up together. However, on a happier note, I felt like there was character growth, and I definitely don't regret watching this drama because I feel that it is a beautiful drama despite how sad it made me. So I'd still recommend this drama.

This drama is very cute and lighthearted; just a no-frills rom-com, so there's no mystery or thriller factor. However, it managed to keep me interested because I wanted to see the story unfold since it was interesting. I liked the plot and I think that it is a nice drama to watch if you are feeling like watching a calm drama for the romance, and isn't full of tension-filled scenes. The ending was nice too. I think that the acting was good and the actors portrayed their characters well. In conclusion, I think that this drama is perfect for those who want to watch a drama to relax and unwind, or to calm down after watching a suspense-filled drama.
