fed up about the characters' stupidity!
I started watching this because of its high score on MDL's community. but soon the problems began... all the characters are incredibly stupid! this just makes me feel frustrated and angry.example: the female lead changes body and decides to run away from a boat. but her new body is so weak that she couldn't. you would think that she understood the situation, but no! she will try again and again to fight back in many situations, as if she was her old strong self, and every time she will be beaten up! she could have think about training her new body, exercising, something! but no! she just run into situations head first then is beaten up.
and the same goes for all the other characters: they go into fights and problems without planning any way out, are beaten up, and feel like crap!
I am sure at one point they will be strong enough to fight back, but if this is all about muscles and empty heads I don't need this show.
when watch this? I don't know... never?

nevrotic love stories
some people might say this is a realistic love story, and every side story couple stages a love story at different stages, whatever... sorry but bloody breaks up are not on my schedule and have never been. being shabby, petty and harsh in your relationship is also not on my plan. of course this does exist, I know, I saw this around me, but this is bad. this is bad behavior, not realistic one. and I don't watch dramas for (shabby) realistic stories. I can watch them around me. I really didn't appreciate this drama and I wouldn't recommend.if you want to be bored, annoyed and pissed, be my guest and go on. every character is petty and boring. I'd choose non of them as a friend or as a partner. so it's very difficult for me to just stand them for as long as 4 episodes. I am dropping.

entertaining but a little long
I loved the story that has a lot of unique aspects. I loved the way they depicted gods and the graduation of powers down to basic humans. I loved the fact that everyone is depicted with flaws, even gods. I loved how complicated it was from the beginning to the end, while watching it I remembered the first scenes and thought "so many things happened and now the story is completely different". but some development took a little too much time.when to watch: if you have a lot of time ahead, you wont regret it. it's very long so manage your time so you won't miss your sleep time.
audience: I think it could be better to watch after some maturation. there is also some violence so I'd say not under 18; and if you do some cultivation, it'll be interesting to watch again after you mature on your 40's. life and death matters are easier to understand when you have encounter it in your own life.

entertaining but a little too long
the synopsis was really good so I had a lot of expectations. most of them remained unfulfilled. it's a good drama if you don't expect too much and just need something to spend your time on. I wouldn't recommend this being said. there is a lot of very good dramas out there, you can easily find something better.the story is ok, I loved the chemistry between the main leads, and also the side love story was cute. I found the 14 and 15th episodes too long and dragging some story out, they even complicated the story for no reason. it was not a successful addition in my opinion.
that was ok. it's a pity they did not exploited the story as well as they should have.
when to watch: anytime, it's a fun story.
audience: family friendly.

a never ending story
my feelings after watching this drama are frustration and relieve.this drama focuses on what happens inside ones head when one needs to take decisions. through the "cells" which are not really cells, we are given the opportunity to experience what the characters feel from the inside. some cells are really cells (foot cells, hand cells, grease cells, yup!) and some are not: they are aspect of the character's personality (hunger, sensitivity, lust, ego, etc.).
inside (yumi) the main character's world, we get to see how she will manage her love life, then her career. this idea was genius, but I feel like it wasn't exploited to its full extend, and that's a shame, really. but this is entertaining, and I watched it all in 2 days. even if I didn't like the endding, I would recommend this for its uniqueness.
watch it with friends or family. there is too much frustration and reasons to argue with a lover.

disappointing end
the story is very promising. everything goes well until the last 5 episodes. it becomes more and more violent and hectic. and sadly the last episode isn't as soothing as it should be (because we are used to). if you are sensitive to violence I would not recommend this.I really loved the relationship between the main good character and the main bad one. they managed it in an unique way. this make this drama even more frustrating because it really had it all at first.
I really don't know which one is the main female lead because the supposed one was so bland that the second female lead took all the light.
so is it a good drama to watch? yes, but don't expect too much.

not for me
I read so many good reviews about this drama, and I just couldn't get myself into it. the AI thing was ok, I can manage this much and dive into robots and program genius masterpiece, that's very ok. but I froze when the ML gave his phone to the female villain. I just froze. and I couldn't go any further.he knew how dangerous that was for him to give his phone and yet he did. nothing much happened from that error but I froze. I didn't like the way they lied to the little daughter, I didn't like how messy the investigation was, everything happening randomly in a state of constant chaos. the fact that everyone try to manipulate everyone all the time...
I think that the story is very ok, but the way they unfolded it was wrong. and lead me to drop.
I wouldn't recommend.

awkward situations will make you laugh!
today is october-9-2022, this drama is still airing and last aired episode is the 6th.the story: SEun is a "professional wife": she gets hired to play the character of the wife for all the men who can afford her high prices and need to fake their marriage for social reasons.
*1st of all: you should watch this, it's really good.
*BUT, these are the conditions you'll have a good experience:
1- yes, PMY did surgery, but that's not the point here. let go off your memories of her old self and welcome the woman she IS right now.
2- don't use the skip button. what seems like unnecessary details at the moment will be crucial later. you don't know it, but I know. so, take it slow and watch carefully. I am now already rewatching the first episodes because... I messed up. don't do like me.
3- the Second Male Lead isn't annoying. he seems to be, but truth is, without him we'd have no view on FL's past. he put light on MML feelings, otherwise he'd probably never second guess his true feelings. I like to call the SML "my naive little dumby"!
4- in korea you have 2 different things: the marriage license which validate the marriage, and the marriage ceremony, which has no legal value. it's ok the hold the ceremony before signing the license (or even without signing it). as long as the license isn't signed and registered, the marriage isn't valid. people will believe you are married because they came to the ceremony, when actually you are not.
what I like and why I recommend:
the story takes unexpected turns, and I have never experienced so awkward feelings just while watching a drama. for the 1st time in my life I understood a character who wants to forget at all cost a drinking night.
after last episode: the drama has a huge rewatch value: first of all because everybody was tempted to skip scenes, and also because we all under-estimated some "tiny" details. rewatching it made me understand a lot of scenes differently.

cut the non sens already!
everybody say "if you cannot accept a relationship between a robot and a human, don't watch this". but I do accept it, I loved the drama "zettai kareshi (my absolute boyfriend)", and my heart broke at the end. so, no, the robot isn't the problem! the problem is the incredible amount of non sens you come across when watching this! I just watched 4 episodes, so my spoilers won't ruin your drama, let's talk about it.at the airport when real Shin discovered that she was filming him, he took the camera and smashed it. this is how rich people deal with everything touching their intimacy and safety. it's not like his secretary doesn't know how to deal with threatening people. and yet:
she was a traitor once, and yet they let her come back as a body guard. they could have lied in front of the cameras and just give her an envelope and a fair good bye! but here she is, a traitor inside their home!
she put a camera inside his bedroom, and he didn't notice anything even when as a robot he connected himself to all the connected toys in his room. like really?
they caught her several times in awkward situations and she got away with it by pretending she was on the phone: which rich (and paranoid) guy would accept it without tearing the phone out of her hands to check the truth with his own eyes? as I said, they are rich people and they do that all the time, so why not here?
Shin is in the OR, and the bad guy enters the OR like it's his home. and what did he got? "listen, next time you behave like a bad guy, I will tell papa!" WHAT? you tell papa now! you get the man fired! you get the chairman to know that this man is threatening his grand-child!
how is it believable that rich people behave like coward puppies?
let's talk about this so wonderful FL now! she lies, like all the time. she has no integrity: Shin saved her life and she was still planning to betray him. on one hand she is like "oh! my heart is pounding so much!" and on the other hand she tails him, put cameras in his room and lie to him right before his eyes... I don't even know what to think about her behavior. there is no coherence.
nothing is understandable in this drama. I really cannot put up with more non sens than that, so I just dropped. I agree that robot-human story is something hard to get, but the problem is, that's not the hardest thing to get here.

too frustrating
I didn't expect things to be so frustrating from the very beginning. 1- people argue too much, there is no scene without a fight. perhaps this add some edging point to the story, but it's just too much. police officers fight against criminals, they fight against the victims' families, and then against their hierarchy and with each other. most of the time people don't understand each other because nobody listens. so I was already on edge from frustration, and then 2- they added the never ending flash back. I had the feeling things were going backwards.the story was ok, but these 2 killed my patience. I dropped.

becoming a villain to catch a villain
I tried to watch this drama several times but I couldn't. I really tried, and every time it was as if something was blocking me. I felt very annoyed because I didn't understand WHY: this drama is so well scored here and I couldn't find my interest in it. I put it on hold for several months then stumbled upon a video on youtube...this was this drama's recap. in 1 hour. as I already watched the first 4 episodes, I could evaluate the rightness of the recap. and it was very good. so I watched it instead, and faced the same problem: I really really don't like this drama. I can't watch it. and as it was very fast and clearly explained, I understood why:
in order to get revenge and catch her ex-husband, the MFL became a villain herself. it was like watching the birth of a bad person. it was unsettling and sad. it was like driving slowly in order to see every details of the car accident you are passing by. that's really something I hate and I don't do that.
so if you love bad people to be rewarded, just watch it. and if you want to know if you could love this drama too, with the recap, the name of the video is "from an ugly girl to a beautiful goddess", on youtube. if you like it, just stop watching and go for the real thing, if not, it will save you some time.
as for me, I wouldn't recommend.

this is how you need to behave in a love relationship
for me the value of a show comes from its entertainment level. as long as I feel satisfied when watching it, I'll score it well. this show is a very light romantic story. that means no deep thoughts, no deep script, no deep character development. so much it's frustrating sometimes. but it's light and refreshing. most of all, the relationship between the 2ML is very cute. really, the writer did a very good job on this. their first kiss is also now my favorite of all time!which leads me to the cons: the story is too lightly explored to be catching. you'll find it easy to stop and you'll probably WANT to stop sometimes out of frustration or disappointment. just do it and come back when you miss it. it's also easy to dive back in. I managed to watch it in between other shows and that was the perfect match.
there is too much short cuts and some essential info about the plot are not even revealed. some characters just disappear without reason or explanation. this is very poorly finished. (details with spoilers in comments)
when to watch: if you have nothing else to watch, or if you are bored, this is a perfect romantic story to keep your mood light. keep it as a filler between the shows you are currently watching. have fun!

boring
so the young lady met a man who disappeared on their wedding day, his stuffs and all photos they took together gone. friend said he was a swindler. 5 years after she meets him again (let's be honest, even if I didn't watch the thing, it's him) as the heir of a big conglomerate. no need to be a genius to understand that the family opposed to the marriage and sent the son abroad.she is supposed to be a famous and skilled journalist and yet she can't figure out as much. they kiss really easily both of them which kill the romantic feeling because that's too fast, too bland. and they seem to appreciate weird situations. this could have been ok if the length of the video wasn't so awkward: most of them are just 2.5 minutes. you just feel cut in your momentum and end up being turned off.
even if it's very short and fast to watch, I wouldn't recommend.

disapointing end
the story was very good; it's unique and the acting of the actors was so good. I was captivated by the story episode after episode. but the last 2 ones were dragging the events and at the end, they didn't deliver what I waited for.this drama is not a classic one. I appreciated the critic of the Korean society where you are supposed to be healthy and have a good job to be considered as a good child and a good person to marry. all the drama is about this idea that a mother/father push the children to meet some requirement in order to be proud of them. it's also about why and how the parents push some children, and why or how they don't push some of them. I really liked it, and it's a shame they didn't go all the way to the end of the analysis. it's also about how and when you can achieve your dreams in life.
I appreciated this being about 30/40 yo characters, not married and without children. there is more and more of that and I love it. I loved that the friends of the main characters had a heavy part of the story to handle.
I didn't like the 2nd male lead's role. I didn't quite understand why this person came back in the life of the MFL. They didn't made it clear either whose fault that was they broke up. Even if the MFL didn't want to break up in a bloody way, it is also a matter of respect to be true to the reality and recognize every part of responsibility. They 2 played the role of the hero (it's not his/her fault, it's mine), and I don't think that was the good thing to do. I didn't like their story, I didn't like the way they broke up, I didn't like the way they parted ways.
last but not least, this drama is also about how you handle health issues when a loved one is concerned, and I really loved the way they explained that sometimes you handle it very badly and you realize it too late. it was subtle but very precise.
If you want to watch, be my guest, but remember that the end will be disappointing. that's a good drama if you have nothing else to watch.
when to watch: if you have nothing else to do
audience: family friendly.
