This review is going to contain heavy spoilers so if you haven't watched this drama yet and is planning on watching then don't read this review.
I came across this drama in my Netflix recommendations. I like the main ML because he can fight and the first Korean action drama that I watched was Rugal. I love that cast and wish all of them would do another action drama together.
Anyway, this drama is about a female who keeps taking civil service exams and keeps failing and it finally gets to her emotionally. Then a cat emerges and that's when everything starts.
In the beginning this drama hit home to me. It shows what one goes through when trying to do something they love but can't. One would want to quit because of that. Not getting too personal but I can relate to some of the scenarios in this drama and how some character felt.
Heck, there were a few scenes in this drama that nearly had me in tears. The two FL capitalized on their emotions very well! I liked the two main ML's as well.
What I didn't like-which I never like-is the romance factor. I knew it was going to turn into some type of sappy romance story and was going to heavily focus on that and derive from the main plot-which it did. The other thing I truly despise in a Korean romance drama is the fact that they make the female turn into a whiny spoiled two year old idiot! Just when I started to like the first FL's character she starts talking like a two year old who throws a temper tantrum because they can't get what they want and she does this in just about every episode!
The second thing that I don't like is the over the top unnecessary comedy. I actually love the second MML but hated that they made him the silly side kick. I liked when he was serious and gritted my teeth when he became the comedic idiot when the time didn't call for a comedic idiot.
I liked the best friend. I wish I could be besties with her, lol!
Now here's where I'm going to talk about the 'why Ms. Night and Day happened....That's it right there! Why did the MFL change into a older woman by day and go back to herself by night? What was the purpose of that cat? Throughout the beginning they were looking for the cat but then it was forgotten. Why?? What was the purpose?? Then by the 15th episode, if what happened to her was a curse the explanation just dissipated...like the reason never existed.
The second love syndrome needs to stop as well. I hate when two people vie for one person and that person always chooses the opposite.
I loved the parents but their reaction to their daughter changing was small. 16 episodes that was over and hour and they only had a five second reaction to their daughter's appearance??
Last but not least, it also irritates me when the bad person has been dealt with but then there's one last episode to watch. Honestly everything could've ended with episode 15 with the ML going back to Seoul and the MFL finally gets a actual job but they had to do the cliche thing where both just so happens to end up in the same place and continue that sappy romance that was suppose to be left behind.
It would've been a very excellent drama had the writers not have to throw romance in everything. Dramas can survive without the childish sappy romance you know!
