Started out nice but it dragged on and got a bit repetitive which kind of made me lose interest at the half. Also, the unrealistic topics studied did not add to the credibility.
I liked the cast, I really did but I could not really bring myself to really care about any of them so this made it difficult to sit through all 16 episodes.
The show was just a bit above average but I would not watch it again.

Average and disappointing
Maybe it's just me but I was expecting contestants to be competing and win on their intelligence and knowledge alone. Little did I know this was a show about making alliances, lying to win and stab people in the back.The games were good although not as strategic as I would have liked
Many of the people I did not like, both their attitude and fake crocodile tears
All in all, if I had to go back in time, I would skip this show, it's not worth my time... 12 hours I will not get back.

Long movie and Average at best
Nothing and I mean nothing new here. 1000 times overdone.. the survival horror/zombie.They tried to do it well but failed by the end.
When a movie is 2 hours and feels like 4, you know you're not really entertained and captivated. They dragged some plots way too long and the ending? OMG some scenes were excruciating.
All that I'm going to say is that even if this is a zombie movie (ie: not real) an 8 legged shard is pushing it.
Did I have a nice time? Meh, average
Would I watch this again:? never ever.

Very disappointing in the end
This Drama started so well, and got me invested but became boring in the end.Super cast, loved the cameos, and the story... but seriously, this could have been wrapped up in 12 episodes (or less).
Some arcs, no one really cared and could have done without, the villains were laughable at the end, it's like they had superpowers... and the token car accidents, kidnapping, poisoning... nothing really new there.
The only nice moments were the lead's cute moments together, which we did not get to see much of at the end unfortunately. The story didn't dwell on things too long the first half and I was so hopeful... but then it dragged on, and on, and on.... no twists to keep us on our toes, and not enough "cute" to keep us invested.
All in all, a disappointment

I enjoyed this Drama, but it could have been a 10
First, It has to be said that it is an adaptation from a webtoon, so sometimes things aren't going to be like they are in the real world.I really enjoyed the first episodes, it was a great setup to the story! and the following ones were also nicely done, engaging, you wanted to root for the characters.
You liked the ones you were supposed to like and disliked the ones you were supposed to. Main leads did a great job and the side characters happened to steal the spotlight some times (that's how good the actors portrayed them).
I was 100% with this drama until the last 2 episodes, and the worst of it being the finale! extra 30mn long and felt like a lifetime!
It did not fit the drama and the characters that were so good throughout 14 episodes. A bummer because it could have been so much better, but still a solid 7

An Interesting drama but a final letdown
The first episodes were gripping, you want to know these people, you root for the heroine, you are invested.And then.... everything changes, unfamiliar people, unfamiliar environment...
A jumble of sorts in the episodes. They tried to make it cool but in the end, even with 7 episodes, it felt too long.
quite a few irritating characters didn't help make this the great masterpiece a lot of people are saying this is.
IF, they would have stuck with the original cast, this would have been different (I grant you that) but a better success (in my eyes anyway).
I walk away from this with mixed feelings.... but still give it an above average rating because the first episodes were great

Predictable and oh so boring
The premise was great, ex profiler turned fake shaman to make money to uncover his friend's death.... and it all went downhill from there.I had to force myself to get through this drama, I even fast-forwarded some scenes as it was so boring.
Even the actors couldn't save this drama.
I usually take time before selecting a drama and many critics gave it a thumbs down but seeing the score and reviews here I was hopeful... Episode 1 was good, I was happy I decided to watch it and then episode 2 was average, 3 was below average, by episode 4 I already wished it was over. And it was a long drama. Could have been wrapped up in 6 episodes

Hits all the right spots
Here's a drama to binge watch with some warm tea and cold ice cream.If you take into consideration that it is based on a webtoon, they did a really good job, the cast is endearing, nothing really tragic happens, it's a very easy watch and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
You can see all the plots, subplots coming a mile away, they hit all the possible cliches known to Dramaland and needless to say it's not my favourite type of drama, but it's such an easy watch, that I enjoyed it.

My tastes in drama are not common and I am totally fine with not “fitting in” the norm or being a “garden variety” watcher.
The story is very simple, 2 rich boys like poor girl, rich girl likes one of them, big show of haves and have nots, we’ve seen this before.
What is it that really captured my attention? The characters! How damaged they all are no matter how much money they have. Great backstories and character evolution, nice romance and a big kudos to the actors for making this work with such a weak plot.
I’m not crazy, but the 9/10 I give it is based on my feeling, I guess this will go as one of my guilty pleasures ?

We always stay on the surface here, nothing is deeply moving or telling us anything meaningful. You’re not expected to think or be moved, sit on the couch like a potato and swallow whatever we give you without questioning.
Sad thing is that I like figure skating or skating in general, but this drama was such a bore.
Could they not do a better job with such great actors?
Song Joong Ki, Kim Sang Ho (love him), Lee Sun Kyun… what a waste ?

Nevertheless, I did find this drama very enjoyable, it’s the type of drama where nothing angsty really ever happens, an easy watch, a walk in a park under the sunshine.
The plot is very very simple, the drama is very predictable, but they found the right cast and you care about out characters from the beginning.
I’m big on that, I really want to feel something when watching a drama and these characters, although the plot was simple and pretty smooth, I wanted to know what will happen to them.
Ray of sunshine and Lee Sung Min is stellar in this drama, love him <3

Silly situations, not funny at all, people with the mental age of a teenager playing as spies, I think that pretty much sums it up.
There is not much more to say about this useless drama that I wish I could un-see and erase from my memory.
How did Joo Won accept to do this drama? He must have been sick the day they handed out the script and someone played a trick and signed him in.
Avoid at all costs! Avoid at all costs! Avoid at all costs!

This show will not raise your pulse, it is very predictable, and sooooo sweet you will have to schedule an appointment with your dentist (tooth decay and all).
I really liked the drama and the dynamics between the two lead ladies, their friendship never wavered which showed how strong their bond.
This drama had a real gem! A gem so shiny it made me smile every-time he was on screen: Kim Shin Hyeok
He completely stole the show and outclassed all members of the cast. I would love a drama just based on that goofy character! Upright, wears his heart on his sleeve, very perceptive of what goes on around him, probably the smartest man in the room most times… I was really rooting for him and I regret we did not develop his arc more.
Thanks for the sweet time show! I really enjoyed myself.

It’s not that the actors did a bad job, there were some nice moments but the weak (or can we say Lazy?) writing sent this ship sinking down faster than the titanic. Leads lacked chemistry also I think.
And the ending? Smh… for a musical Drama, where was the Finale performance? Or maybe this was cut by the production? The only thing that comes to mind is Lazy execution of what could have been a great drama. Shame.

While there are parts I really enjoyed, equal parts frustrated me and then rest just plain bored me.
I really enjoyed the first Dream High so obviously my expectations were high for this second season but, somehow I was left unsatisfied.
I liked the cast, they were nice but did not hit me in the heart as the ones in the first version did. Once the heart is half in half out, it’s difficult to care and makes for a less enjoyable experience.
I am sure many will enjoy it, I’m 50/50 on this one.
Love Kang So Ra and Jung Ji Woon though ?
