Endearing romance
This show was everything I expected it to be. I liked the concept( childhood friends to lovers) and the chemistry of the couple the most. You will appreciate the more heartfelt moments as they give a deeper depth to the story. In the beginning there are a lot of good comedic scenes, but then the show focuses on more the reality of life and love. It wasn't a 10/10 show for me, but I get why it was talked about so much.Was this review helpful to you?
True comedy
Another favourite. The fml actress is hilarious in her role. The second lead was a heartthrob and a half. The overall concept and story felt original to me. The song though.. that damn song that plays in almost every episode? It got to my damn nerves. I don't want to hear it ever again! It wan not that good either. At last, the drama shows a lot of important societal issues.Was this review helpful to you?
Exceptional!
If you watch only ONE romantic series in your life, this should be it! The story, the actors, the chemistry of the couple, everything was just right. I have read some things, but I hope we will get to see the actors in another series again. This show has everything a romantic heart wants and desires. I was not fond of cdramas before I watched it.Was this review helpful to you?
Choppy
The first few episodes are the best from the series, then it kinda goes "meh" with some highlight moments in between. The story overall is intriguing enough. But the script and editing feels choppy, with no easy flow. The last 2 episodes also, it feels there is a rush to wrap things up with ultimately a predictable lukewarm ending. Maybe my expectations were too high because of the hype for the series. Lastly, I was surprised from the Spice up our Love crossover.Was this review helpful to you?
Pass
You will not miss anything if you don't watch it. The actress is good, but that is the only thing that stands out. Cute light story of childhood friends/first love and the misunderstandings that come with it. Script and overall vibes very mediocre. Cast other than the fl was also just ok. The FL is a variety show pd, a job that it seems to me kinda overplayed in kdramas. The ML in the other hand a poor turned rich cliche. It's not bad, but don't have high expectations watching this.Was this review helpful to you?
Surprisingly better than what I was expecting!
A lot better than what I was expecting! The actors did a good job. It was funny and lighthearted, but at the same time it is conveying serious societal issues. I wished only the romance element in it to have been more mature and intense. The ost very fitting to the show. Good chemistry between all actors.Was this review helpful to you?
Peculiar humor with a certain charm
A wannabe police comedy with a peculiar silly humor and a slight retro feel. Production was as it should, as also the ost. The acting was not bad and I kinda "saved" the weak script a little. About 40 minutes episodes, most open ending that lack cohesive flow a lot. I enjoyed the last 4 episodes, because they seemed more put together. The overall story was unoriginal, but still little charming. The plot twist was very easy to predict, but I appreciate the writer's effort.Was this review helpful to you?
Meh..
A webtoon short drama with fifteen to twenty minutes episodes, that at times it wasn't making much sense. Certainly the story it didn't went in the direction I was expecting to. Kinda not satisfying overall. Basically a story about a woman that was wanted by a few suitors in her life, but she didn't want anyone. The acting was not bad. Everything else though..Was this review helpful to you?
Cute
A cute comedic story about the virility of a man and a male dog that father's every puppy in a village. Cute and lighthearted. Easy to watch if you have two hours to spare. Very good acting and likeable characters, especially by the kid actor in it. The script was clever with some highlighted funny lines. Not the funniest thing I have ever watched, but not bad at all.Was this review helpful to you?
Intriguing story, but..
The concept of the show is very intriguing, but the casting of the fml and ml was a big miss. The secondary characters and the actors that portrayed them were far more interesting. I didn't like the fml at all honesty. She stayed timid most of the drama. And the last episode felt so unclimatic. There are a lot of things I wished were different with this series sadly.Was this review helpful to you?
Just ok
The writer gave a good effort with the twist in the story I guess, but this drama could have been way better. The last 4 episodes seemed unnecessary and had serious lack of excitement. The couple's chemistry was either frosty or cringey at times. The secondary characters were simply put, background noise to fill space. What I liked the most were the ost and the ML's acting.Was this review helpful to you?
Close to perfection
A drama that will make your heart race for sure. A thrilling rollercoaster that it's about a second chance romance of the highest degree, interwoven with a twisted villainous plot. The villains in this show are simply put, deranged. The script is very good and the acting even better. I enjoyed the comedy in it as much as the complexity of the script. The story is predictable and yet it catches you off guard at times. Good chemistry between the couple. Overall a drama very close to perfection and YET, it feels like I am not completely satisfied as a viewer. Worth the hype nevertheless.Was this review helpful to you?
A tridute to Jeju Island
Even if you've never visited Jeju, after this drama you will feel like you know everything about it. A story with the feel of a small community in the country, very similar to other dramas of that type. Childhood friends to lovers that broke up and give a second chance to their relationship. Interesting aspect were the haenyeo "gang". Drama with a lot of emotional and sometime funny moments. The chemistry of the couple felt extremely natural, so I won't be surprised if in the future there are news about a real life romance between two actors.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute with a little depth
Cute romance with a little depth surprisingly. Which was much appreciated, even though it was personally triggering. I liked the couple, but their chemistry was just ok. The funniest part/character was by far ML's brother. The actor hit it out of the park. So, I found to the secondary couple more the main one. Production was good as expected and the ost was nice. Overall good, but something I will watch once and be done with.Was this review helpful to you?
Interesting subject
Short drama(only 6 episodes), with an interesting contemporary story. Was it one the best dramas i've watched so far? No, just good enough to keep watching. The acting was good and I believe the director and the production team did a very good job. I feel it could have been more funny in the beginning, but.. The script was just ok. Also, I found the ending to be appropriate for the couple.Was this review helpful to you?
