Thailand-indian vibes are surprisingly dazzling!!!!!!

This is the most lovable and funny movie I would have immagined it could happening in thailand!!!!!! the acting and cinematography so well done and performed full of vivid colors, I should say it is SO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and I am in love with the mixture of thailand and indian acting, it will be unforgettable for me "against the first review mentioned being forgettable"!!!!

This movie is so different from all the traditional thailand lakorns as there is a rare and few carrying this funny and comedic side, thailand lakorns are all known about dramatically speaking with so much tragedy and violence but this movie will make another new conception of the funny thailand shows!!!!!!

It was a great idea to portray the break up and reunion of all exes in this light and funny way that most of thailand shows are missing in their actings, this show should be more appreciated and rated more highly, I wish it will be more renowned in future as it is just today released.

Risa carried all the show and she performed well in this movie with her amazing dance with all the people thailand and indian around her was so fascinating and her english talking was not bad and her feelings when thrown in her exs hands was greatly acted as it was the core of the subject of movie, she will not confess her weakness just hiring Tim her other second ex to have the pride as she is not in need of Arun "first ex of Risa" but deeply she needed Tim without knowing this fact.

Tim could have been better, he was little dull and boring but as paired with Risa was a great combination of acting and was her healing from her numerous break ups, he was so good in sword duel and saving Arun's father as said "jack of all trades" and "hero" so well said by Risa, he didn't have the audacity to confess to her but just making fun of her was too not bad to add more for this comedic show, he too carried all the show with risa in the dancing scene, I loved them being together to the end and how they pretended they came back together to save her being weak in front of Arun and how Risa threw Tim in water as pissed her of!!!!

Arun on the other side was so greatly choosen as the indian guy boyfriend of Risa and I liked when he backed up to not commit a mistake against Monica when approaching Risa in a wrong moment, Monica his bride to be as the other was too cute and well choosen as him, he is careless guy who left Risa and surprised to meet her again as his wedding organiser and treat her as an old friend but all the indian actors here was so suitable and well combined with the thailand one.

Risa's gang friends Jan and Offy was too funny and loving when portraying the story of Risa's break ups in their rap song amazingly done.

I would recommend SO STRONGLY this amazing movie, the way Risa moved from Arun after the mostly laughable truck scene, when Monica caught Arun will fall in mistake with Risa when reminiscing their old memories, they convert the dramatic moment to a funny one this is when I FALL IN LOVE THE MOST WITH THIS UNPRECENTED MOVIE, it was too when enjoying the dancing and happy colorfully moments of traditional indian wedding!!!! Everyone is lovable and really so worthy to watch it for a great time to choose this magnificent movie.

JUST GIVE IT A TRY and you will not regret it at all, I wish it will get more high marks and pleasure from all watchers, it was a great option to watch after being in a drama slump, you will be transferred to another happy world, forgetting your surrounding the moment you will click play!!!!!

the novel world of nam jae yeon unexpectedly so good!!!

this spin off of no gain, no love is so unexpectedly a great show where the journey of fun never ending and still continuous with the same beauty ambiance of entertaining and enjoyable watch like I never felt that no gain, no love has ended yesterday having the same high performance of second leads with their firing and attractive chemistry!!!!

I liked this spin off cause it was so hard to say goodbye for an amazing drama like no gain, no love but still having this completion for the drama came at a convenient time when I can't get over watching these second leads actors with a beautiful romantic story proving that this strong and powerful love being nam jae yeon and bok gyu hyun or the reincarnation characters of the novel as seo yeon seo and kang ha jun will have the same awesome romance I am used to see in no gain, no love!!!

this spinoff started strongly seeing nam jae yeon in her novel with bloody coat gave some mysterious hint that she wanted to avenge for the betrayal of her boyfriend just to came with the idea of being a beet juice!!!! so I felt that the pleasant element of comedy is still accompanying the spinoff in the same perfect way...

I liked how they made the idea of this spinoff making the writer living the character of the female protagonist of her novel unable to leave the fantasy world of novel after being fainted in the real world just to see that her true love will stay the one and only kang ha jun or bok gyu hyun wherever she will be traveling and trying to escape from her fantasy novel world!!!

the charming personality of lee sang yi as kang ha jun is still the same giving the role of a heroic male protagonist of a novel genuinely loving that awesome girl not leaving her alone and always saving her proving that their love story will be one of the best ever seen in any world they will be existing!!! han ji hyun did a great job and keep the same nice acting in portraying the cute girl between the original show no gain, no love and the spinoff!!!

it was so impressive how they made the novel world is a healing one for all the hard moments nam jae yeon lived in the real world, making a funny and beautiful other story of this adorable main characters couple!!!! the last scene of lee sang yi was singing the OST was so great and his voice was surprisingly so good!!!

a well executed colorful noona romance that I highly recommend it!!!!

I binged watching this show in 1 day and started for the interesting age gap and as the leads seems so greatly paired together and though 20 years age difference but the actress looks so younger than her age that I see them pleasant acting together, as I too don't mind a large age gap at all!!!

the male lead presenting his superpower of psychometry was a new idea that makes a new vibes of unprecedented thailand lakorn so outstanding and funny to watch, I should say it is not boring but prefered if the bl scenes were not included as it didn't add anything special for the show and skipped them all cause the show is the main focus on noona drama and romance of first leads...

I should say the male lead is the most caring ever seen about the feelings female lead in a thailand drama and he nailed it so well, his superpower was a great add to the show that I like the idea though it is putting him in danger having aphenphosmphobia the moment he is touching people making his heart racing fastly but sacrificing this just for the safety of female lead and to know more about her as he is hiding the fact of this superpower from her!!!!

the female lead was his saviour when he was striking by the lighting of storm in his childhood and the idea that she was his key when it is started this superpower and when it ended was so original and amazing as it is a special bond between them that made me more curious to know about it

the cold personality of female lead giving the image of unbearable boss and how the male lead made her changing slowly to be more symapthizing with people around her and teaching her to consider their circumstances made her to be more tender and behaving more smoothly with all her surroundings from employees

I like the runway of fashion scenes was so colorful and vital making it so entertaining to watch and like the persistence and hardworking of female lead as a great fashion designer with all her her funny and friendly subordinates who added the value to this show besides the wonderful noona romance

the moment the male lead was running under the rain when mistaken that she accepted the proposal of her old friend and the same he did when she ws disppointed discovering that he had this strange superpower was so impressive for me that is unforgettable and greatly performed!!!

I would like to say this is a new genre of thailand drama that is way better from the conventional and traditional type of lakorns, it is so great and average show and highly recommended that I would like to suggest for every noona drama lover!!!! light to watch and really didn't feel all the way that reached the end in a blink of eye!!!!

Don't be deceived by this high rating which is no longer one just from THE PAST!!!

this drama is GOOD FOR NOTHING, it was the great and good one in the first half when they give her a second chance to reenter the life of a resident, maybe if they had focused on her diaries in the hospital how she did progress day after other in her medical field and how she updates herself to be fully proficient doctor though all the mistakes as beginner she did and difficult path she was going through would have been billion times much better than this pathetic and ludicrous story of trashy cheating husband who is the one I want to kill right now!!!!

this is not the funny and comedic story who anynody should laugh, there was few moments making in ho the clown here, but being mean and cheating failed making him the one here!!!! and the romance is abscent totally it should have been right if there was some romance made for jung suk and roy, but neither of comedy and romance I felt in this disappointing script!!!

to add the matter of liver donation which one should she choose between roy and the trashy in ho!!! for goodness sake what the great plot they add to this boring story, as I am choosing what the great quality of product I am buying?!?!

is that a some common sense to have in this rubbish head of writers to make the female lead SO HAPPY just getting divorce and being alone and let this scoundrel and beast man in ho go freely whith this damn love for this witch sung hee like this and he done his last favour for her to donate his liver, is that called a GREAT END? what the crazy and insane story I did ever heard of it, all if this mess happened and the rating is still 8.5!!!!

though a lot of people had surely dropped or lowering the rating for a logical reasons: she is the one belittled and humiliated by her in laws/childs and awful husband, everyone is stopping as obstacles in front of her to continue her career as doctor as they consider her worthless housewife and the marriage of convenience based just for assets!!!

no body had treated jung suk fairly even her own mother who asked her to forgive this trashy husband of her though he is having an illegitimate child, as he is a diamond husband she should stay his slave forever and staying bewatching this awful affair of this nasty couple of scoundrel in ho and witch sung hee!!!!

on the top of that what should be her problem if she had ended with roy? is being alone a great prize for herself after the divorce, she is free and not a flaw to begin anew in her life...

when roy confessed too late and she answered "she is tiring of loving someone" what the jock!!! are you serious mr screenwriter??? at least she should respond him "give me sometime to think" instead of this bullshit!!! he was the one supportive and encouraging her in all her path in her medical domain and she is considered him barely being a friend and her surgeon nothing more!!! she consider herself an "old fashion woman" and older for him to be a couple, is this the importance here after this honest confession?!

it was really a WASTING OF TIME!!! I will advise anybody who didn't give a try for this show till now, to just watch the few first episodes or don't watch it AT ALL, go for other dramas of uhm jung hwa, it would be better than to choose this "miserable life of dr cha" what it should have been titled instead of this one here!!!

I am fed up for this silly and bad show, I was so mindless and delusional waiting for an end to be satisfying despite all the disappointments and frustrating moments I lived watching this mess of dr cha's life?!

SHAMELESS WRITERS giving the victory for this wicked couple and make this poor woman jung sook alone like a whithered flower, because she deserves too to meet the one who deserves her!!!!

the best show of dark fiction for chaebol korean families

I wanted to write a review for this drama mainly to increase the supportive positions and making it clear that it is deserving to be more renowned as it is so much underrated!!!

I felt while watching red swan that it is a special and outstanding show from the moment they announced about the plot and the trailer about the romance of a rich female and her bodyguard that I was looking for such story a long time ago, I was captured while watching the trailer by the action scenes and the trauma wan soo was living while facing many situations under the threaten of being killed at any moment!!!!

in fact to make it clear this show is depicting the hidden dark fictions sides of the high ranked rich families in korean society though I wanted to see more romance side of the story but the realistic acting of such top notch actors made the show overall being unexpectedly so good as I didn't felt any boring moment and didn't skipped any scene of this great drama!!!! while watching it wishing to stay drowned in this story having all the catching elements to cling over it not wanting to reach the end so fastly at any moment as it is one of the best korean dramas of this year...
the screenwriter wanted as I think to make the relationship between the leads to be formal along the show though showing great affection between them, "so the romance is not a major part of as a drama plot"...
the action scenes were filmed in a marvellous way made me not able to escape any look while watching such masterpiece fighting between do yeon and the female bodyguard...

if talking about any flaw of the story that could make it be rated almost all the period it was aired around 7.8, there is some parts of the story that was hurried to be displayed instead of calling it flaws, giving the example of the attack of the female and her bodyguard by the drones was so amazingly portrayed in a realistic way but some criticized the fact that how do yeon got healed in a short period of time carrying wan soo after he was stabbed in his back by a fragments of the car while it was exploding so it is logical to think like by so many watchers that cause in an overnight for such critical injury he should take a great period of time to resume his assignments as bodyguard...

talking about the mystery side of the story, it made me so attached to the drama as the screenwriter succeeded in making the facts of the real reason behind wan soo staying married to such trashy husband betraying her with several womens knowing this already and living in hell amidist such failed marriage and surrounded by criminals in laws, so she beared a lot of their offenses and living painful moments in this jail of grand palace...

in addition to reveal gradually till the end the identity of the real perpetrator of the death case of do yeon's close friend joo hyuk was written with excellence keeping the excitement level to the top for me while watching it as do yeon did a marvellous job to punish the criminals and avenging for his murdered friend while keeping his composure along the story especially afer the provoking slap of gong yuk to do yeon behind the reason of a photo was taken for both of them after her mother death, I wanted him to defend himself at the salp scene but he couldn't do any mistake while he was there vowing to revenge for his friend...

I like the character of do yeon being honest with wan soo about the reason of joing hwain group and being impartial, he was the real support for female lead living such hard life while all her in laws were beasts wanting to take advantage of her in addition to her husband to married her just to escape from a scandal to be in relationship with an actress!!! do yeon used his intelligence and all the skills he acquired while he was a cop to catch the criminals so his character was played in a professional way and the actor was choosed in the right place!!!

wan soo's life wasn't easy for her to deal with all the hardships she went through as her mother was greedy for money like wan soo's in law, her mother was gambling to addiction extent just to get out of the poverty they were living, even realising her dream to be a pro golfer, wan soo gave for her money prizes to pay off all her mother's gambling debts, so she didn't live in happiness neither one as a chaebol, neither before married to such lowly rich corruptive family!!!!

wan soo was criticized by may watchers for having the same facial expressions but I see that she was like that as a person living such depressive life, losing her child and dealing with dangerous in laws taking the money laundrey as a habit to make illegal profits and being threatened to lose her foundation just for the sake of greediness of those beasts in laws as they are always hungry for money and making such lowly deeds, will make wan soo logically not finding a time to think about smiling or changing her temper to be a happy person as maybe so many won't agree with me!!!! she was behaving in a wise way to not be caught in any scandals in front of the press and keep her foundation safe...

I think the most eccentric character considered a flaw in the story, is yong guk's one was something unprecedently seen having two contradictive sides of his personality, he is having the trauma of seeing his mother betraying his father while he was a child so instead of making his character logically despising betrayal and cheating, he not only betrayed wan soo with several ones and he said that he loves his wife?!?! so how should anybody believing him after so many cheatings and lying to her!!!! he even didn't shown any care about her even if playing a fake role!!! he was supposed to be loyal if hating the fact of his mother being a cheating women, so he was always distant from his wife...
the other opposit side of yong guk was the first and last time hugging his illegitimate son demonstrated a tender and soft side of his personality but though everything he badly did, the way his half-brother yong min killed him was so brutal scene!!!

I would say giving 9 for the show though I was expecting to see more romance between leads and wishing to make do yeon and wan soo having more screentime but turned to only focusing on the slush fund and the struggle and hatred between the members of a chaebol family, I couldn't condoned the fact that all the supportive characters of hwain group from park mi ran portraying a crazy chairwoman didn't see like her character though repellent but so highly performed to the lawyer han sang il who is the mastermind of all the killing cases happened there to yong min character who gave all his best while expressing his frustration in a magnificent way portraying the illegitimate son of a chaebol family and the female bodyguard was well convincing in her character with all the action scenes she carried with do yeon...

the main reason to give 9 for this show was that at least we got what we want and that the justice to prevail at the end and proving that even being one of the most finest chaebol with leverage and holding the power of money, they can't let them to escape forever from being punished at the end...

I just preferred to make the party who threatened wan soo at the beginning of the story to be a korean local gang instead of making a religious party which is meaningless for me being involved in blocking her endeavors as a goodwill ambassador, I know not everybody will agree with me but just a personal opinion...

some watchers call it a "open ending" for both of leads, I can say it was right cause we can't guess after seeing do yeon resigning from being wan soo's bodyguard after completing his mission to hand the criminals for the justice of and coming back after one year to be do volounteer work like her, is considered somehow for me a happy ending though preferred to make them a couple together at the end but it is still satisfying while we have the real criminals being punished and receiving what they deserved of being all jailed...

It is hurting... can't find the healing for this deep pain

When you can't find the right person to understand your pain but comes suddenly by coincidence.
This show extremely take the watcher deeply in the leads world of sorrow and agony. They make the watcher feel really that they feel empty inside and does not achieve anything in their life, not satisfying with their current situations.
I think the relationship between leads is original and unique. They have met a the time where they need someone who understand them and stands beside them in their hardships and come to heal each others
The story path and with watching one episode after the other gives for the watcher the feeling of curiosity to know if the leads will find the path of happiness and if they live a decent life and feel their human being sense.
The story has some sides of mystery and take the watcher to their world with professionalism acting and performance.
This kind of story has not been similar to any other drama, I think it deserves to continue watching till the end.

One of the most unkown and low rated taiwanese dramas, should be given a try

First once I had readed the synopsis, this is an old classical and typical romantic series that I was looking to something similar.
The story is not available on asian subbed dramas sites and I was wondering why this ignorance of this drama? Though nothing is special but I wanted to make this drama to reach more people in my review.
But WHY THIS LOW RATED DRAMA though the male lead is so famous that he had greatly performed with showing this sincere affection like he was in meteor garden and maybe all his other drama works.
The female lead was a bit dull and miss to have more great performance of acting her role but not so bad.
About the type of story being miniseries, it could be expended to few more episodes because the actions are so fast that you can finish it in half day.
The beginning of the drama was so hasty that I felt it should be started by other way little more detailed but based on miniseries it was like that.
To dive more in the details of story...
The male lead is a character of 18 years old, abandoned by his parents and treated so brazenly by his mother who obliged the female lead to break up with him and the surprise how the mother snatch the FL from her son under the pretext of not studying well.
The female lead knowing she had feelings for him and the parents don't mind to make her a couple with the brother of ML and the FL is naturally accepting this abominal fact and the love triangle begins here...
The brother of male lead was so indifferent and missing to act more fierecly when knowing about the past of leads.
What I like THE MOST about the story is the great acting of male lead suppressing his feelings to act normally and wishing a great life for his brother and wife, here pushing me to increase the rating of this miniseries.
My personal opinion this series is wronged to have this bad rating, it is neither excellent neither unacceptable just a plain story should be a little more valued so I write my review as no one at all wrote about it.

ultimate sweet rom-com shouldn't be missed!!!

this drama is one of the most ever valuable and high level performed rom-com for this year and among all the comedic korean dramas ever seen, it was unexpectedly so good to watch it as I enjoyed every single moment through all the show that I didn't want it to finish so early as it was a successful choosed cast of actors for all the characters in this story were top notch in acting that I am so glad to give it a try being truly worthy to watch and being pleased with the progression of story and the amazing funny scenes that were accomplished in a great and outstanding way with no any boring times and being flawless that I didn't skipped any scenes giving an excitement to stay focusing on the screen!!!

shin min ah was the star of this show and I think she carried the worthiness of the show with her facial expressions that are most suitable for funny roles, it was the first time I watch a drama for this actress and heard that she was so good in previous dramas so wanted to try it as from the poster she seems to have a charisma to make this drama one of royal korean rom-com and really just seeing her from the first scene wearing these socks at the wedding of her ex made her looking so funny that I wanted to know more about this interesting character, though son hae young is a character written on the premises of being calculative and materialistic wanting to benefit from every single chance as she suffered from her mother and that foster home her parents opened for not getting enough care but in the core hae young is the best to protect and loving her foster sisters when she can't give up on gathering them under her care being concerned about every problem facing her two adoptive sisters so the character of hae young is lovely and strong, always being honest and stealing the spotlight through all the show!!!!

I think one of the most funny scenes that shin min ah portrayed was when she attended the wedding of her ex, indifferent for the fact of being his wedding and taking pictures in the foreground besides the groom and brides and donating money as a congratulatory for their wedding was a strong start of the drama showing the firm and amazing funnily personality of hae young in addition how kim ji uk proposed to hae young in the part time market job bringing her a bunch of her jelly packets she liked the most!!!!

kim young dae's character was for the first time the most successful one cause I am used to see him a cold and ruthless person with repellent facial expressions in his two dramas moon in the day and the forbidden marriage that I hated every character he played but I was wondering how he will look in a new unusual role for a rom-com and regarding many watchers praising his role so here was the surprise, alongside shin min ah together they shined as a beautiful and amazing couple in this drama, their chemistry is the most firing and attractive among the noona romance ever seen so I liked all the scenes including these two actors and kim ji uk appeared to be mysterious for hae young but I empathized wity his character being abandoned by his parents and being bornt out of wedlock and raised by his grand mother so son hae young and her mother lee eun ok gave him the real meaning of being among a family even though it was a fake marriage but surprisingly I liked the character of kim ji uk as much of liking son hae young, so the first leads was so outstanding and marvelous adorning the screen while watching them all the time!!!!

han ji hyun portrayed the character of nam jae yeon the lovely and friendly girl, though always being smiling this girl was unfortunately insecure from a hidden and dark part she lived under the aggression of her unjust and evil father and her mother whom abandoned her but I was glad to see the warmth hae young gave to her adoptive sister caring about her and sharing the same house so this strong bond between female leads though shaked sometimes was so good and worthy to watch!!!

lee sang yi portraying bok gyu hyun is an amazing second male lead to mention him importantly as his entered the life of jae yeon in a funny way but he was a healing character for her, falling for her unexpectedly while they started on bad term in their first encounter when he was attacking her novels but the progression of their relationship was so fantastic from enemies to lovers they added more beauty to this rom-com alongside the first leads!!!

I liked the most among this drama the episode 11 was the turnpoint that made me rating it 10 when I started with 8 then 9.5 but couldn't stand just to give it a complete mark still seeing the amazing acting of han ji hyun when really portraying the role of the girl being afraid from her evil father and screaming in his face and the scene where bok gyu hyun hurried for saving her from the grip of her criminal father and how son hae young though knowing the father of nam jae yeon being the killer of hae young's father, she couldn't gave up on her foster sister cause jae yeon is innocent but their sisterhood was stronger than anything could be happening to shake it!!!

the scene of hae young letting ji uk going in his way for not being restricted in this fake marriage was so painful for both of them but the end shown that no matter it takes long time being separated their true love will make them being together again cause they are needing each other at every moment...

the annoying scenes for me was when hae young discovered that kim ji uk was one of the last forster childs her mother raised him, she threw a tantrum over it as she shouldn't did it when it wasn't his guilt to be abandoned by his parents and the scene of bok gyu hyun wanted to firing kim ji uk from the company just for being his half brother and illegitimate child of his father and how that affected hae young to be fired too and first leads were forced to divorce for her to stay in her position at work but all these events vanished when didn't lasted for a long time as the story was carrying beautiful and magical moments to fix all the problems happened between all characters to bring ultimate sweetness while watching it so it is deserving 10 with merit that shouldn't be missed!!!!

I liked all the support characters especially ahn woo jae who though cheating on son hae young but he was a great character added but his facial expressions were so hilarious and liked the scene how hae young dumped him being so powerful in addition to kwon yi rin who was so lovely and amazing character and cha hui song the adoptive sister of hae young acting so good to portray what is the meaning of real family though not being blood related!!!

episode 12 though was saddening at the start when running the funeral of hae young's mother and being painful moments but it was so impressive to see a relastic acting for hae young whether being funny or sad but as this drama is titled to be a rom-com so the funny side of the story didn't leave it till the last moment of the drama!!! it was so smart after adding grief moments to the story how the funny side was included again to not make a melancholic ambiance in the final so that twist was so greatly done!!!!

The best and wonderful show of 2024!!!!

this show had catched my attention from 1 year ago the time they announced about it reading its unprecedented plot that sounds so interesting and appealing to watch!!!! I actually wanted to try it as I like the huge age gap dramas of older woman/younger man and as I watched kim nam joo once in "queen of reversals" and really was like it is called queen in acting and portraying her role fantastically whatever it is and the same of cha eun woo I wanted to see him a new figure other than the usual handsome baby face actor casted in romantically role, but I was so flabbergasted of the chemistry of these two leads was insanely amazing portraying the huge amount of pain though that is not romantic but the acting was so realistic with high level performance!!!!

this is a journey of several mysteries that was unfolded one after other so wonderfully that anybody watching will not be able to evade any eye look away from it!!!! I binged watching 12 episodes in 4 days, the time I started watched this was before the last week airing so as the time was passing like in a blink of eye that it was pleasing me to the most as an unprecedented show cause I didn't skip any scene surprisingly as recently I am skipping while watching any korean drama but here differently the level of excitement is so high that I didn't feel it while watching any other korean drama!!!!

soo hyun is the character of wise and staid person that is the perfect lady in all meaning and successful wife but isn't lucky having such trashy husband who is pretending to love her but he is indeed a deceiving person and not compatible to be the ideal husband for the female lead that I would say it is a shame to have him as husband though living in the image of happy family but this one won't last forever as the evils are surrounding her everywhere...

soo hyun is not to blame to avenge for her son, it is the maternal instinct that pushed her to punish the culprit of her son who was acquitted wrongly and brazenly didn't apologized from her after she asked him several times at least to quench this fire of unjustice burning inside her regarding the law didn't rule for her favor but it was such a sad and heartbreaking moment when the rays of revenge was coming out from her eyes running over the culprit making him to be dead the same way he caused to her son...

the amount of pain and sufference soo hyun showed was satisfying to show what does it mean a mourned and grieved mother should be!!! I like soo hyun the smart and diligent woman who did everything to reveal all the hidden truth behind the death of her son and seon yul the mysterious guy who interfered in her life and getting intertwined with each other, she was following him all the way as being compassionate with him regarding he lived the same pain as her loosing the most closest person to his heart!!!! though it is not a romantic involvement but a noona drama with mystery and melodrama without a romance was something new I watched and being so attached with every moment I was watching this golden masterpiece drama!!!

soo hyun once all the miseries striked over her head at one time, being cheated by her huband was a heavy load to bear over everything she was suffering from and it was so amazing to make everybody guess about the mistresss who can be, even being jailed for 7 years, soo hyun was keeping her silence if it will relieve her for taking revenge for her son, taking advantage of her saying for her husband to break up with him and signing divorce paper was a motive for him to do this short mistake of cheating in a weakness feeling moment!!!

soo hyun should have divorced him the moment she was aware of the cheating matter and not burry it like it was told to her but I didn't like her indecissiveness about staying clinging over it till the end...

seon yul is the type of person who is doing dangerous tasks in the favor of the congressman who used him for his service as he took care of him after his father took him as a will for kim joon to be under his care, seon yul is seeking revenge of soo hyun and gradually made her being aware for the matter of cheating but when he discovered that the culprit is the common between the accident of his mother and the death of gun woo (soo hyun's son), he will be joining hands with her to bring down their real opponent and regretting doing that for soo hyun as scheming plots against her...

cha eun woo did a great job in acting for portraying the rude life of a person choosing to drop out from his medical studies to seek revenge from his murderer's father, he was so amazing showing the real tears of pain and sorrowness in a splendid ways, he was so different and unusual to see him in fighting scenes but this amazing skills in acting for any role he is given is so greatly conveyed!!!!

soo ho is the trushiest and abominable person ever seen as a cheating husband and a father who pretended to care about his son but not sufficient in my opinion, he is prioritizing his interest over anything and indeed he was dealing with the culprit of his son whom helped him to be a director and even submitted himself for him in order to not hurting his wife while the death of his kid was something he condoned it so easily!!!! surprisingly he reversed the equation of this misjudgement of him and indeed he was digging a hole to kim joon to make him fall in the trap of deceiving by cooperating with seon yul unexpectedly!!!

yoo ri though she did a big mistake for her sister but she at least regretted what she did despite all of that I didn't thought this lovely sister image she gave to turn into the one stabbed her!!!!

I liked the character of go eun the mother of soo hyun, she is such an adorable and lovely mother that anybody will admire a mother like her...

kim joon character was so convincing and though he is he villain but the actor was doing a great job in portraying the devil and homewrecker character manipulating all the leads the way he wanted...

the end was so satisfying as a masterpiece like that I was so pleased to watch such a high performance and fabulous acting!!!! I wished indeed to have some romance here but they ended to be healing friends and allies is not bad too as seon yul is ready to avenge for soo hyun and her son after knowing how cruel was his father... but also prefered if the leads staying in contact with each other and not being apart after being healing friends and allies...

this is a so highly rated drama that I recommend for everybody liking the mystery genre, this is about a realistic show deserving a high ratings so don't take in consideration the ratings of mdl as it is deserving the minimum of 9.5!!!! I liked the moment when seon yul blocked the way of a vase with his back to not hit soo hyun when she was volounteering at the nursing home of elderly and when seon yul hold the hand of soo hyun when she came to his mother funeral as he was surprised though hating each other but it was a motive to see her in another better way especially when she made him aware that his mother's death was intentional not by accident so these two injured souls cooperated to bring down their real opponent...

I liked too when at the trial of kim joon, at the witness seat seon yul confessed that though he wanted to avenge from her, soo hyun is the only one cared about him to live a proper life and having a complete meal that he didn't feel this caring from anybody before as living a rough life and the most important that the culprit took a fair ruling to be for life jailed was so greatly written as an end to cut the existence for more of his misdeeds...

the best hidden gem historical korean drama of 2024!!!! so much highly recommended!!!!

this story is so well executed with a realistic performed actors that they are acting their utmost best they could to add this unprecedented excitement that I felt ever when watching the historical genre!!! I binged watching for 2 days before the last release of the last 2 episodes!!!

if I am asked about what I like the most, I should say that everything was charming enough to captivate anyone in this outstanding historical era, the great outfit disguisement, the loyality and unlimited power of female lead in her skilled fighting scenes and the obvious firing eyes of male lead and facial expressions enough to tell being smitten with the female lead...

I watched this actually for being a noona romance with large age gap between leads though not the main plot as I am a huge fan of it!!!! but I should give it a higher rating if that was more focusing on romance with more screen time for leads being together but with this pleasant ending I should say it amends this shortage of needed missing romance!!!

however this is the most amazing historical korean drama that anyone could hope for!!!! the end was in the right place and SO SATISFYING for me that makes the show flawless and outstanding, love every details in this unprecedented series.

I like how the freedome of female lead after suffering from being jailed for her in laws with mourning for a fictional husband with a void marriage for 15 years going in vain as the funny fact was that the husband is unknown for being married to 2 wives and eloped far away making his parents thinking that he is already dead!!! she was finally being freed with the annihilation of this unrealistic marriage.

I like that fact too of the hidden identity of yeo hwa how she was rebellious and breaking the traditional rules of a mourning wife not allowed to get out of her home disguising in a masked man to fight astonishingly for giving justice for the wronged poor people and helping them amidist a corruptive nation and how she can handled to be at the same time a serious and funny actress.

the male lead su ho was too a great substantial element of this marvellous story beside the amazing performance of yeo hwa, his eyes tell a lot about how he is the most emotional toward the female lead and the most scene I was amazed with it when he prevented her by sword fighting to cut the head of her murderer father in law seok jo song and make the law dealing with him finally to be executed fairly and saying he could be able to kill jo song before her but he didn't want to be a criminal to avenge of jo song for su ho's killed family and the deceased brother of yeo hwa.

actually I didn't thought that the series will improve wonderfully in the last two episodes which gave the most worthiness of the drama is the episode 11 and 12 that I liked the most of overall the show!!! and I gave it a more high rating reaching the impressive penultimate and last part of it.

it was a really joy and happiness that I see like this exquisite final that if I could use all the terms and vocabs of being pleased by this show I will do!!! this is so highly recommended drama that I wish to be more valued than 8.5 in the future when it is more renowned and that I will add to my list of favorite korean dramas so easily though I dropped too much high rated dramas but this one is so special for all the fabulous content of it.

Being angry and don't falling in love do not solve the parental trauma...

It is a warm story in a humble house where the stern and mysterious girl hosted a new housemate who was abroad and landing newly in japan who were both unknowingly connected to the same story of family betrayal.

Naotatsu is a modest and kind boy who didn't know anything about this strange girl Chisa who doesn't seem likable, just cooking for him the painful plate upon his arrival which she had eaten the day her mother eloped with naotatsu's father...

Chisa had so many mixed feelings regarding her mother who hurted her in the past and accepting naotatsu who is related to her as being the son of her ex-mother lover but she considered him a little kind boy who didn't have any guilt to interfere him with her deeply painful problems.

Against what chisa thought, naotatsu was so loyal to chisa and sided with her at every time she was venting her anger when her mother was the topic of their talk.

Naotatsu was running from chisa when hearing the story from her talking with another one about her past but he found that there is no use from evading the truth so he decided to help her finding her mother by asking his dad so he didn't dare telling her that but when they reach her mother's house he wanted chisa to be strong and face her mother about her feelings and her unbearable pain especially when shocked as chisa's mother was building a new happy family with husband and step daughter and forgetting about her first child.

Naotatsu was a real great person understanding chisa and the scene he was crying she felt his innocent and genuine inner personality so she treasured all the moments with him as an amazing housemate.

Deciding not falling in love upon the betrayal of her mother, naotatsu was affected with what chisa was living after her mother left chisa and her dad, so not falling in love was naotatsu wanting to show his anger and pain to what the big fault his dad commited in the past but chisa doesn't want him to be like her.

Naotatsu though being a high school boy he was drawned to chisa who is oblivious to his feelings, she wanted him to find the right person having the same age as her.

The rain made them being together when he was running to catch her for not moving from the house so leaving his school just to decide confessing to her but she was smiling and at the same time didn't give a clear reply to him.

This is a healing story, learning to dig in food when you are terribly annoyed by the memories from the past (funnily speaking) like chisa did with naotatsu and they were not bad paired together just if he was a little older maybe it will fine but still he is a high school boy is considered so much younger as she is 8 years older than him in real life.

I enjoyed the movie in total and it is highly recommended for me and I wanted to write a review in the first as it was just one day ago uploaded subbed but in truth the end was great but wanted the female lead to be more responsive with him but not bad at all.

first half of the show was better than the second one

when starting this drama, I wasn't expecting to be a great drama based on the average ratings, but the first half of the story was more engaging and pleasant to watch like having two different feelings through all the show, in my opinion the drama started so strongly in the side of romance and comedy and the acting was so good talking from the chemistry between first leads and seeing how the male lead is holding onto his relationship with female and doing his best for making her besides him showing a sincere love for him, even ready to give up his background being a chaebol and disobeying his mother just to be with the one he loves her so it was so promising to see such great character of male lead BUT...

regarding 10 episodes length for such drama, I perceived that there was a lot of repetitions of male lead not able to let go of his beloved one and the idea was clear that he was struggling to keep her with him through the first half and even they made the drama unnecessary adding more scenes like drinking too much and bidding farewell for their last meeting with the several scenes of eating together but was not bad going to amusement park as the end of their relationship...

moon sang min was doing so good in his acting expressing his deep sadness, shedding tears though a lot if people called him "simp" to still following her and clinging on his relationship with her but I think someone genuinely loving her and unable to believe that she wanted deliberately to break up witu him has at least to show her his devotion until feeling there is no hope from this relationship!!!! he acted in this drama better than wedding impossible which I dropped it not feeling he was suitable there!!!

while shin hyun been was too unable to give up on him and lying to herself that it is better to break up with him for the difference of the social class and backgrounds regarding her parents were so violent, while people had criticized her to accept the money from his mother in return to break up with him while she was forced to do that when knowing the real background of her boyfriend so I don't want to say if it is right or wrong but maybe her dignity didn't allowed her to stay with him having such cruel and outrageous mother of male lead disparaging her!!!

shin hyun been was having average acting like moon sang min, both of them are great to be paired together but to be honest I can't be saying that they had presenting a top notch performance in their roles, the emotions they shown was enough to convince sadness and happiness but still I think there would be other better actors could be replaced exceptionally the second male lead so surprisingly was so good, I think he was so fitting for his role to be a supportive brother and rooting for the relationship of his younger brother with shin hyun been

really yoon park was so amazing being funny portraying the comedic side of the story that it would had been more better if giving more screentime for him and park so jin cause he was the essential one making the comedy successful in addition to the support characters being the colleagues of female lead in office, all of these characters gave a value for the drama cause I felt a lot of boring moments in the second half when the story only focused the most on the first leads with the repetition scenes of both of them struggling to be together...

I think the OST of the drama was something so brilliant and outstanding that saved the show from being less rated for me, such well choosed OST added more value to the show making a balance between the positive and negative sides of the drama cause the script could had summarized the story to less number of episodes as from the episode 6 I felt losing interest in the drama and skipping a lot of scenes till the end so the drama is being average for me as I was disappointed how I started rating it 8 then 7.5 when noticing a lot of repetitions until don't know why feeling the general ambiance of the drama was not deserving that in the second half just to give it 7 if it wasn't for the great performance of second male lead and the OST and the promising start of the drama, it could had been considered for me less than average but that was saved the drama what I mentioned before...

second leads are deserving to be given more scenes but unfortunately the drama was not giving their existence more worthiness cause even on mdl they should consider yoon park and park so jin second leads not from the support characters!!!!! I would emphasized that second male lead was the best actor of this drama not expecting that as yoon park was not playing so well in his previous dramas but here he was so different maybe I would had kept the rating of 7.5 or 8 for the drama but the acting of first leads became not the same great performance as it started but second leads kept more outstanding chemistry till the end, even I think giving park so jin more scenes in the drama after the third episode was wrong while she should had been present from the beginning as only the focus was on first leads more and it was not helping the drama at all!!!

I started to watch this drama being interested in the age gap which was controversial at the beginning before being aired but through all the show it was no longer mentioned cause looking at both of first leads this 14 years age gap is not noticeable at all, so the female even looking younger than her age not making this age difference being obvious for me!!!

the charcter of lee hyun woo as third wheel between the relationship of first leads making a silly love triangle though was short but considered unnecessary for me as his character could had been only as a supportive friend for shin hyun been not making him interfering in this love story as well the actress playing the character of the mother of male lead was not fitting, only feeling not able to see her having this repellent character but though any other actress could had played maybe better than her despite she is given an evil character here...

The comedy side is the only thing what I loved the most but still highly recommended...

When watching this drama from the start, I was so pleased by how funny it was, I didn't laugh over any korean drama from a long time so far that I thought it will be a mix of comedy and mystery with crime that should be supposed and I couldn't wait to watch one episode after the other in order to complete it thinking it will be promising but it wasn't for a long time unfortunately...

The main characters performed their role comedically so great and the duo of ye bun and jang yeol to resolve the complications of mysterious crimes in mujin town was so successful and I really enjoyed these two actors together and how he exploited ye bun to return as a cop in seol after being demoted by snatching her from sun woo and at every situation she slacked from him for his and observing her as being his neighbor to guarantee she will help him always when he gave her homeworks (especially when she tried to learn arabic language was one of the funniest moments) and used her as an important tool for him that she tagged along with him when always wanting to catch the culprit, that was totally funny and worthy moments to watch, that I highly recommended for this reason only.

Ye bun and jung yeol are suitable to be in romantic relationship, hoped to make jang yeol more emotionally for ye bun but she was like a robot for him turning her head to follow him, sadly I was disappointed in that side and the story could be twisted so easily to make it as a slow burn romance but though this tag is mentioned I couldn't feel it this way in the middle of the chaos of serial crimes.

The support characters was so dull and unimportant against what most of people think but ok hui the intimate friend of ye bun was a great add of cast and the most side character I loved, her look and her act was ideal for the comedic cast.

When the story progressed and the funny side of story is turning off and fading gradually I felt it is becoming boring and didn't being excited to know who is the real culprit after episode 10, though at the beginning I appraise the script written for the serial murders and how jang yeol analyse the consequences of crimes and how he being helped by ye bun to push her funnily touching the butt of suspects by sticking the gums that I couldn't forget all the enjoyable comedic parts of the drama and especially the series of panties disappearance was impeccably amazingly hilarious!!!!!

I dropped cause I didn't felt any interest to continue it after loosing funny moments of the drama but though major of watchers enjoy it but for me it was boring after the second half of drama that I think like watching another drama with no any suspense anymore just my personal opinion but I recommend only for the first half just for me and nobody maybe will agree with me.

Overall it is not a failure but a great choice of drama highly recommended for everybody, I am not against this drama but totally to support it and raise the rating of drama just for the hilarious moments I enjoyed having a confused contrasted feelings.

I like the hairstyle of female lead with her garments looking like a little cute girl being portrayed as a funny character, I am in love with these pets ye bun was examining them it was a reason too to watch it as I like these cute little animals filmed along that I am deeply fond of all pets and as a veterinarian she was supposed to be given more scenes as most of ye bun role was for the sake to help jang yeol, to note I was sursprised that ye bun is in real life is older than jang yeol but her successful look hides her true age that I appraise how they work to make her being younger.

it is not the better but NOT THE WORST!!!! the noona romance just made its worthiness!!!!

I wanted to write a review just to say that a lot of reviews giving 1 and 2 ratings for nothing I perceived it right to give it that and I have to be realistic that 6.8 is not wronging but though it could deseve 6.5 to 7 ratings for overall performance it but I felt the story and script is not bad at all as so many users were complaining about it but surely could be better!!!!

I am the one that taking side to see it an average in everything, but for an actress renowned like song hye kyo and jang ki yong I would say it will make a gap in their history of tv series for many watchers but the drama could be casting like for the beginners in acting not for someone veteran like these actors who breaking a records in highly rated dramas for both of them: the glory, descendants of the sun, kill it, www and so many...

I wanted to try this show as song hye kyo is great when paired with a younger actor showing a wonderful affection and sincere love for her partner, she presented the same nice performance as well jang ki yong who didn't care for all the objections of his mother and hye kyo's mother that with a broad smile receiving this harsh words of being out of wedlock and how he fell for his dead brother's ex like a betrayal but he was so innocent in love with her without being deliberate to hurt his dead brother, as the coincidence of fate played the role to make them meeting together!!!!

I dropped it at the start after 5 episodes due to the negative reviews, then gave it a try for the sake of noona drama and binge the rest for 2 days while I skipped many scenes of the second female lead and second male lead as being so boring paired together with the work issues but I am here just for the noona romance that I prefere to watch always, it was also imperessive the terminally ill friend park hyo joo of first female lead and second female lead that performed so amazingly and she deserves to be the second female lead instead of choi hee soo, I can see a disparity in the acting of first leads and second leads that it could have been better to cast song hye kyo, jang ki yong and park hyo joo to be the leads as I like the most of their acting, the remaining of actors was average and less which made a great issue!!!!

I like the idea of now we are breaking up, moving back and forth in the realtionship of first leads as hye kyo was surrounded with hard circumstances: her work problems, parental divorce and her terminally ill close friend was a dilemma blocking her way for living a normal life with her partner as the chemistry was attarctive and catching otherwise the show didn't worth this little thing making it still acceptable watching till the end!!!!

the character of mothers was annoying especially song hye kyo's mother when throwing a rude speech to him but jang ki yong's mother character was bearable though she was nasty due that she loved ki yong despite not being her biological son and the son of her cheating husband but at least she chose to stay outside if her son will end up with his beloved one overmore I hated yoon jung hee the fiancee of ki yong's older brother too being a hurdle in the way of the leads but I can consider the end was "satisying" for the leads being together at least!!!!

The love of a confused couple is pure white... (OST)

This story is one of my favourite genre as I like the topic of betrayal in married life but mainly the husband was the one who start it in most dramas but when the wife it is not so common...

This is underrated drama and not well known, though it is been 19 years but the social realism of age gap as older woman/younger man is not something new in asian drama.

When a housewife is not satisfied with her boring married life and think she loves her husband and is happy with him but deeply deny the fact that they are just like housemates no more than that... this is what the case is here about the relationship of kozue and hideo.

It was sudden like a storm (english title) because the unexpected encounter of kozue with someone teenager who makes her yearn for her youth days that she lived complaining being the tallest with no so much intimate friends around her and nothing in common between her mates in junior high till the lonely and abscent minded brown hair school boy with bangs striking her attention at the middle of the road of a rainy day... (Takuma the storm who changed her life)

Kozue is the one confused and not honest with her self didn't mind the accompany of takuma the dancer teacher and mysterious one, at the beginning he pushed her to practice dance when persuading her that dance will change her view of herself and as she thought she is not the one who may know how to do it, taking steps by steps to join him after the fate of them meeting so many times...

Something inside her made a storm in her feelings toward him, is it a "disease of luxury" as she said to pamper herself by dancing to awake after the slump in her boring life or is it the feelings for the person who made her more confident about herself and to take care of her beauty that she missed while she is with hideo her husband?!

Takuma did not wanted to reveal his mystery to kozue as sick person suffering from emphysema, at each time she decided to end her relationship with him, something happening to him about his disease stopped her from being decisive and empathy with him, couldn't help leaving him alone when her husband was in need for her...

It was not a scandalous affair to say but a betrayal of kozue for hideo who is oblivious and didn't want to doubt the loyality of kozue for him cause at everytime takuma taking a step ahead towards her, she would avoid him for no more feeling guilty about her husband...

Kozue's mother caught her when takuma confessed to her and warned her that "married woman shouldn't falling in love"...

Yoriko was the one receiving the messages of what kozue did in detail with takuma and yoriko wanted kozue to be with takuma as she knew his medical issue and she is the cause for confessing to hideo what kozue was doing behind his back but yoriko did all of this because she had a crush on hideo...

The confess of takuma to kozue that he loved her after he didn't know what this kind of feeling of him for her, was shaking her more and she strayed his seriousness with another talk but couldn't do anything just to love him back but didn't have the courage to tell him that as the society will judge her badly and everyone around kozue and takuma will be in pain and despise them regarding their 16 years age gap...

Divorce will happen after hideo saw the real scene of kozue hugging takuma who has been attacked by emphysema and crying loudly, couldn't dance anymore according to his health condition was more worthy for kozue than to justify to hideo what is her relationship with takuma was what about...

I didn't like the end at all as I wished kozue and takuma ended up together but kozue choosed to be independent and as takuma is special for her she wanted to free him from her for not facing more criticism from the society but takuma wanted for sure to be a great man and finding a job for kozue to accept him and he didn't care for the great age gap 18 vs 34 as he wanted her so badly but if it was the opposit I would give it 10 as overall rating for sure...
