Listed as “Marry Me Now” on Viki.

This one will take you on a roller coaster with many stops at the anxious and anticipation station. I loved the characters, the ending and the twist. Highly recommend this if you’re into family drama, love and romance.

The drama starts off a bit slow but picks up after a few episodes but decided to keep going. There’s drama, heartbreak, romance and twist in this series. The acting is cute. Male lead is too cute. The family dynamic is great and realistic. I’m up to episode 43, so far we have had a lie or two but all serious secrets are revealed rather quickly. Near the end of the series it starts to taper off and it gets a bit slow but you stick with it because you’ve invested time. Hoping for a happy ending. But wish writers didn’t drag it out this much, I’d still watch. No really intense chemistry between the leads though it was passable as good relationship. The synopsis listed is also a bit misleading because it’s primary focus isn’t the rich mom but how the children/adults adjust with their own relationships and that of their families. At times I did feel like I was watching a soap opera. Still enjoying.

Episode 1-60 was awesome. After three episodes I was completely invested. I heard someone compare it to the turn on the eternal love a.k.a. 10 miles of peach blossoms but I don’t think it’s remotely similar. Though the atmosphere may seem the same in terms of having the Lords, masters and etc. The vibe is different and the plot appears to be completely different as well. I will absolutely admit that this is in my top 5 along “ten miles,” this series can absolutely stand on its own and will surpass many of the recent historical romance dramas. You will get some good laughs with the supporting cast and enjoy their loyalty. Heartfelt moments will come from the least expected cast and that makes it even more appealing. I would say in terms of similarities this one is closer to ashes of love with character content. You’ll get your misunderstandings, revenge, love, longing, loyalty, fight scenes, hilarious characters and more. It can be a little slow at times but the content is well cast and well written so it’s not boring.

When you reach the mid to end of the series you will on the edge of your seat. You’ll also wonder what’s going to happen. Each character offered something to this series and absolutely loved each of them. No long confusion. Just sweetness all around. I loved it and watched many episodes more than once.

Hard pass

Maybe my taste are changing but I found this series very uninteresting. I honestly feel that it’s not a “pull you in” type of series. Each episode felt like a stand alone episode with no significant connection to the previous one. No excitement, mystery or chemistry.
In terms of the story I honestly felt like there was no story. What I saw was many episodes of Lawyer talk and client complaints and concerns. There was no plot or anything remotely taking place that seem to tie into the title of the series itself “best partner..” The series is titled best partner so naturally I assumed that the series was about someone finding their mate or someone that found someone that is so compatible with them they know that this is just it. I would’ve loved for there to have been a connection between someone or anyone for that matter in terms of partners but up to episode 36 I still have no idea who the best partner is and there are only 46 episodes. The supporting cast who I can only say is the secretary appears to get just as much screen time if not more as the main lead of the series. The supporting leads face is all over the place and I have to tell you after watching so many episodes she has become famous for swaying her hips aka catwalking. It also appears that the directors or whoever decide on what the cast wears gave more attention to the supporting lead in her wardrobe than they did with the main lead. They consistently had the secretary a.k.a. supporting female lead dressed up fancy and attractive while they left the female lead wearing just random things. It just seems like something wasn’t right. It just feels like another season of “law and order” without all of the serious crimes of course. Each episode brought on a different issue or a different client so don’t get your hopes up on trying to establish a relationship with any one person. There are consistent members in the series and those people are the cast members who are most likely been highlighted as the stars of the show. There is one possible love interest and one we’re really not certain of. Up to this point the male lead has shown no interest in the female lead at all other than recognizing that she is smart. All the women appear to be smart so no worry about the naive female floating around.
The acting of all cast members have been good.
The music is OK. There is a consistent upbeat tune that plays whenever we are to assume something big just happened however it is usually nothing big so the music just doesn’t work. At least not for me it’s sort of like playing music for a grand entrance and there’s no one to enter. This one is definitely not on my rewatch list. The truth is it’s not awful but because of how it was scripted you will really not get a sense of attachment for any character. Although you won’t hate them you won’t really care what happens to them either because you really don’t see a connection with any of them. At least for me it was hard to try to find a connection with the individual and what they are going through. Even the relationships were not very clear so you really couldn’t hope for anyone to get together or say “oh, they would make a cute couple.” Chemistry most certainly did not make an appearance which is also why this is on my will not watch again list. Even if the directors decide to build a relationship in the last 8 episodes it is far too late for someone to like anyone or to say that anyone has an amazing chemistry in that short amount of time. It’s just a big no for me. There is no real insight into the leads past or interest. He just says lawyer stuff arrogantly and people get stumped. Again the acting was great but a series without a plot is aanh. Hard past!

I like the female lead and most of the movies she’s in but this one is definitely different. Although I like studying the human mind, watching this is like peeking in on back to back counseling sessions with a twinge of psycho on the side. After a bit it becomes unentertaining. It’s like one of the hospital series without the excitement. Although mental health is just as important as physical health, watching them gives off completely different vibes, I’m sad to say I feel that they failed to deliver on this one. They could have found a way to incorporate various elements into the story that wouldn’t make it so drab.

Imagine seeing someone with a condition and all of a sudden some expert gives you a thorough explanation/diagnoses and symptoms. Good right? Yes in reality but not TV land. I felt like I was in a psychology class.

Not sure I can even finish this.

Good series. Lots of quick witted people, plotting and bits of humor. There is some mystery with lots of action scenes. The male lead was pretty awesome and expressions were priceless. The supporting ast adds to the laughs. The image used to advertise the series led me to believe it was about two people however it is not. There is lots of royal plotting and scheming, family drama. Not much romance. The male and female have okay chemistry but nothing great. In truth they don’t have much in screen time together at all.

If you’re looking for so,e actions and a bit of humor you’ll like this.

Once I saw the male lead I just new that the series would be good! However after watching 21 episodes I slowly realized that this series had begun a spiral down.

I like the fact that they showed her thoughts out was kind of funny and interesting vs her talking to herself. There is some good action, cool fight scenes as well however there was definitely something missing from this and the big thing is common sense. The one good element that I’ve seen thus far is the loyalty that the female leads have for each other. The series portrayed a real sisterly love between the but somewhere between episode 10 and 16 they both started doing careless things, I.e trying to be super hero’s and sacrificing and showing signs of impulsiveness which could have gotten them killed so many times it’s ridiculous. Again not really funny or cute. Male leads were consistent to their characters of being loyal to the country or either brave. In love, our 2nd male lead lack some guts.

My hopes and rating for this series started out high. So many good points and high hopes however, I can see why the rating dropped. They had the female lead go from smart, independent and feisty to naive and clingy. Nothing about her character in the first few episodes gave me the vibe that she’d be one of those females that clung to a guy or situation like this. She went from a person demanding respect to a person offer herself up as a second wife to her closest sister spouse, that is where I lost hope for her.

Episode 1-10, were packed with funny elements, action and some plotting.
Episode 11-21 was full of the females leads constantly walking into traps that the average person would avoid,
Episodes 22-28 has some funny elements to it. It’s short lived. We see the stubbornness and manipulation that the FL has a gift for. Warning it’s frustrating. Not much relational progress.

Up to this point I’ve felt very little real chemistry or intrigue.

Serious with surprisingly good. I honestly was not expecting the Sy-fi feel of it but it was still good. There were moments that were absolutely hilarious and other moments where you felt like you would ball your eyes out. For me I think the series was about second chances, love as well as the heart. There was so much mystery, humor and heart felt moments in this series.
There was nothing to over the top. It was well scripted and clearly written by someone intelligent and sentimental. It exposed the internal and external looks and struggles. Lots of action too with a well done ending.

Truth: wasn’t extemely excited to watch the series. The synopsis mixed with the cover wasn’t all that appealing. I started the series a few days ago. Starting from episode one, my expectations went even lower.
The positive:
-it’s a comedy
- it’s short
- wardrobe
- it energetic
- male lead seems naturally humorous
-supporting cast

The negative:
-it’s not romantic.
-Midway, plot still absent.
-the female leads character is extremely immature and I don’t mean the kind where it’s cute. It the kind where you ask yourself “why”. Her behavior is equivalent to a smart and curious 12-year-old. Imagine a CIA agent skipping down the hall saying “yaah”. There was nothing comedic about her behavior,


Halfway through the series and I can honestly say I am not sure what the plot was. The series starts off at a decent pace and you can tell from the start that it is a comedy.
If you’re looking for something lighthearted to watch you might like this but if you’re looking for a murder mystery you may be in luck. In truth I thought that they would be this couple who solves crimes or mysteries together but it is really does not seem that way.

An absolute must watch!

Yes, yes and yes. This has been one of the most addictive dramas I have watched. I was reluctant because I’m not a fan of revenge dramas but I’m glad I watched it, because it was so much more than that. There was romance, drama, revenge, karma and so many yes, yes moments. I have no regrets watching this. I honestly rewatched it while waiting on the last episodes. It was that good.

What I enjoyed most was the concept in general which was second chances or a redo, it coincides with the saying “If you knew then what you know now, what would you do?” The series is the epitome of, Show me what you’d do. And boy did she!!

My favorite elements were present: quick karma, chemistry, action, romance, strong and smart leads and the happy ending.

What I liked about the series is the honesty of our FL and her loyalty. I enjoyed the small humorous moments between the leads.

What I didn’t like was the unrealistic sacrifice the Fl attempted to make at the end. Oh yeah and I didn’t like the ending.

Overall not a terrible series. There was a mixture of action, plotting and drama. Although the genre is romance, I just didn’t feel it. I won’t say the leads didn’t have chemistry but they didn’t seem to be scripted for it.

This is a filler show at best.

Emotional abuse overload dressed up.

I saw the positive reviews after reading the synopsis so I was hopeful. It started out like the typical bad/rude guy meets sweet and innocent girl. The initial meeting was funny and I thought it would be good. But then we are introduced to our ML rude/demeaning behavior with the FL innocent one. It went on for 90% of the series and she foolishly liked him. “Do you think he likes you. Dream on.” “I had to choose between you and the other girl and I choose her”. Stuff like this on repeat.

I don’t know who wrote this but the series is a perfect example to use when educating women about what not to tolerate. It was degrading and they tried to make it cute. He didn’t treat her well and was demeaning and rude. He kind of liked her and was rude/bossy and demeaning. He liked her and was rude/demeaning then caring. I’m not lying.


If I had a daughter I would so not like this guy. There was really no way to redeem him. Then they both got into relationships with different people. Abruptly, no love involved.

Sorry. This was not good. What are they trying to tell young girls/women? It’s okay to like a guy who is demeaning, judgmental, bossy and cold. Just nope. Pic any episode between 2 and 4 and you’ll see an sample of what happens 90% of the series looks like.

I read mixed reviews about this seres but because I like historical dramas I just thought you know what, whatever, I’m watching it, and so my journey began.

.The series starts out somewhat entertaining from episode one but gradually picks up after episode two and it got more and more entertaining. I have to admit that this series is different from so many other historical dramas in the sense that this series has the reverse harem. That’s right, reverse harem. Men we’re not to be educated and did not hold important positions. The birth of girls was celebrated and the birth of boys was blamed on the men in a not kind way. You the way they blamed the gender on women.Lol

The series itself was fun to watch and everything seemed to wrap up well. My only wish is that the realism was more intact but no regrets watching it,

This was one extremely long drama. I’ve watched many family dramas in the past that were this length and even longer but this one was just not my cuppa tea. First of all they took a seemingly humble and honest family and ruined it by actions of one.

What I liked about this series that it was very family oriented in show many elements of love and loyalty in what love looks like. It also shows the hardship their individual struggle with every day to include relationships. It was very diverse.

What I dislike about it was that it was really slow and long. In truth I wish I could’ve liked it more but I just knew how it would play out white swan event happen you can kind of tail how the wrist was going to play out. You know the typical type thing where one person in your family does something and the person that is offended blames the whole family for it. I really felt like there was no great karma here. I got to be honest with you here I watched another series that had the same female lead in it and her expressions are almost always the same which is why I died, cute wow her character is often naïve and clueless. I will admit that they try to toughen her up by letting her express her anger but that didn’t work out for me. You know the K drama logic that I’m talking about the one where we blame the wrong person.”
Don’t care for it.

If you’re bored and you’re just looking for something to pass the time or slightly put you to sleep you may enjoy this one but if you’re looking for something heartfelt, witty, romantic and sweet I can’t suggest this. Although there were so many elements of redemption and loyalty I just couldn’t get past the whole drama pieces. It was just too much.

I saw the series listed on Facebook. I passed it several times because it just didn’t seem that good at that and I thought that it was saying taekwondo class. So I kept passing it. After a while I just decided to give it a shot and try to watch at least one episode. Let me tell you that I could not stop at one. This series is most certainly not about a real class but it is about having class and showing class and so much more. The cover image of the series somewhat lead you to believe that it is about competition and competing in battling and different things of that nature. That’s what I gain from the cover image however what I got from episode one all the way to the end with something completely different. This series is about so many things that we encounter every day or people around us and counter every day. It is about sticking to your values Values and beliefs, loyalty, friendship, unity, patience, revenge, love, tragedy, overcoming, justice, diligence and wisdom. This series had it all.

I have watch so many shows over the last few weeks but this one is by far the number one pick for me. I will admit that my genre is usually historical romance but every now and then I will watch action and sometimes mystery. This one honestly tops all of those. this is an absolute mess watch. For anybody who has ever been wrong or suffered an injustice and for anyone who’s ever had others doubt their ability to succeed this one is most certainly for you. I loved it absolutely loved it.

The series revolves around are two male leads. One group someone pampered and the other one group living off the land. They differ completely in upbringing and beliefs. The beginning of the series starts off pretty fast pace and somewhat intense but after the first 15 minutes it slows done and there is a time gap.

Like many other series like this one this one is about to individuals on a mission to seek revenge however I do believe that that revenge plot is somewhat lost in the middle of all of these things that’s taking place. That being said it seem to be more about him learning martial arts then seeking revenge.

What I like most about the series is that it was generally upbeat and the cast members were often funny and memorable.

What I dislike about this series was that our male lead was cast as a simple/gullible/naïve individual. I do not mean slightly naïve and gullible but I mean over-the-top naïve and gullible. It was so bad that even at one point I got frustrated and started to ask why why why. It wasn’t enough for him to have a good character and I sense of loyalty but they made him into a complete idiot who seem to lack common sense of any kind. Our second female lead to guide a little less screen time was portrayed as a very lovesick and gullible person as well. For me it was really too much. I find it unrealistic and teetering on the extreme of these individuals needing a guardian because they don’t know how to make good decisions for themselves.
