"Slow burning ROMANCE with a sprinkle of melodramatic MISERY"
I don't dislike this drama but don't expect too much from it. It's ok, not fast paced, there isn't any real romantic suspense (it's predictable) or anything different or extraordinary.I am continuing to watch bc I love the FL actress (Won Jin Ah) & I love the actor (Lee Hyun Wook) works.
---LIKES ---
• 1st I thoroughly enjoyed the SIDE COUPLES love stories. Acting superb & their storylines r drew me in more than the MAIN LEADS.
• FL (Won Jin Ah) --> a soft & feminine BUT strong & graceful womanly presence in her facial expressions, tone of voice & style as an actress & in this drama. Her acting seems natural & flows in a convincing way. She is such a cutie pie. Her character could've been more charismatic & charming hmmm
• ML (Ro Woon) --> gave creepy/stalker vibes at 1st but he is straight forward with his advances towards the FL. His tall height & nice build comes off as a strong & confident protector of the FL. His acting came off cringy & forced a lot of the times but he improves & wins my heart as more episodes become available
• The height differences is so adorable!
---DISLIKES ---
• The script could've been stronger to go with the very slow plot, 3/4 of the way in & didn't feel like much happened. Secrets/revelations could've been found out sooner & there would still be room for more things to evolve & keep us interested.
• Or a really good OST could've helped this drama that I feel is lacking in other areas.
• At times the leads don't really flow, maybe a different pairing (both good actors tho)
• This isn't a comedy at all, the office employees provide a little but not enough to be given "comedy" label
******I will be looking out for almost all of the main cast & even some support actors upcoming works!

Action Packed! Tough Female Lead!
So glad I decided to binge watch.Very good, action packed, slight romance, suspense! I had a different killer in mind but who they chose was also an option to me. I've seen this story told on revenge a few times but to me every actors add their own special sauce, razzle dazzle that brings a replayed plot to life.
I don't get too technical, I watch for enjoyment and I really enjoyed the show very much and none of the actors lacked to me. 10 out of 10 for me! Worth another binge watch for sure!

"I'm not really into business movies/dramas but I loved it"
I thought this movie was great. My eyes were glued to the screen and I was quite anxious most of the time because I knew the Male Main Lead would be getting himself in a sticky financial/criminal situation based his character's timid personality and reckless money decisions. Highly recommend. I'm not really into business movies/dramas but I loved it. I wasn't bored. I didn't start scrolling social media on less intense scenes. Kept me on my toes for sure. It will teach you that if something is too good to be true than YES it is most definitely too good to be true. Listen to that voice in your head, voice on your shoulder, your gut instinct!Was this review helpful to you?
"Ready for a Save Me 3, even 4 LOL (DON'T LET THE RATING FOOL YOU)"
I loved Save Me 1 & Save Me 2 even more. Save Me 1 was more fast paced which I am more into but because I loved Save Me 1 I gave Save Me 2 a go. It's a slow start & slower pace at 1st but you are introduced to the characters & they unfold in a way that they didn't in Save Me 1. They also grow on you despite their huge mistakes/baffled but this storyline actually happens in real life. If I had to choose between the 1st or 2nd Save Me supporting cast, Save Me 2 had the best character development of the supporting cast members. Save Me 2's ending was also much better & satisfying in my opinion. The 2 series do correlate, Save Me 2 is the beginning/intro/backstory of Save Me 1. You could honestly watch Save Me 2 1st or Save Me 1 1st, starting with either one doesn't ruin/spoil the other one. OMG the main character, UHM TAE GOO......that voice, that face structure, best troubled/bad boy/explosive character I've seen so far & his character development was good/I had hope for his development & it was fulfilled. Following his work for sure (1st saw him in Age of Shadows, movie)!!! The sister was annoying at times but loved her in "Because This Is My First Life" another reason to watch Save Me 2. I also saw "Crash Landing On You" before Save Me 2 which has the actor, Kim Young Min (Sung Cheol Woo [Pastor]), his acting performance has grown on me also. I watched the series in 2 days, sleep can wait HAHA.Was this review helpful to you?
Have Tissue on standby for your tears.
Very good drama, worth a watch! Have a box of Kleenex for tears. You’ll also go back & forth loving and hating some of the main & second leads. Every episode was showed misery/pitiful scenes, followed by happiness but back to misery so quickly which kind of annoyed me. Like jeez let the girl be happy for longer.I wanted to watch 1 episode to see if I like the chemistry of the actors & ended up watching the whole thing in 2 days.
This drama gave me Kill Me, Heal Me and Just Between Lovers vibes.
P.S. I really wish the ML and his biological father had a different outcome when everything was revealed.

Worth watching if into action/war/suspense, with sprinkle of romance!
I thought this was really good. I’m really into action, suspenseful movies and dramas. I didn’t see who was acting in it but saw some of my favs! I chose to watch because Kim Mu Yeol was in it and I loved him in his other works. I loved the slight romance but glad it didn’t overpower the action/war/suspense theme of the movie. It’s worth a watch, if watch it again in the future. I loved seeing Minho from Shinee he’s does in action scenes well. Surprised by the low rating but aye different strokes for different folks.Was this review helpful to you?
For deep thinkers OR those open to films with more than 1 EXACT interpretation (ambiguity)
I was VERY confused trying to figure out where the story was going for 1/2 of the movie but I oddly/weirdly enough kept my eyes on the screen the whole time & didn’t fast forward even when I was confused bc I didn’t want to miss any super deep crazy metaphor from the slow storyline.It’s one of the movies where not much can happen vocally/physically but there’s symbolism in the simplest/quickest conversation between characters AND/OR cinematography. The solemn & storyline gave me the American movie “Lovely Bones” vibes. Though “Lovely Bones” you’ll actually cry a river of tears. It wasn’t perfect but it’s one I’d definitely recommend to anyone okay with exploring different genres & wanting to watch something with deep meaning. I love Yoo Ah In but I had to hide my eyes most time from the nudity HAHA he has a baby face & I was like “Oh no” even though he’s grown LOL.
This movie is not a waste of time you just have to be in the right mood when watching, have an open mind & be willing to question fact from fiction. It gives the chance for the audience to make a decision on what has happened. This could be used in a class tbh. If you’re used to this genre type the symbolism was easy to catch on to if you watch a lot of mystery cases/crimes & can connect what has happened to a similar storyline.

Realistic, Emotional, Growth, Non-Judgemental Show
This show was…amazing to me and very realistic because not everyone took up the offer to reunite with their EX. It’s not a new concept but the hosts, the couples, the stories, reasons for breaking up and reasons for reuniting or Not reuniting were presented in a nice way. I also felt the host weren’t super judgmental even if the couples reasons for breaking up seemed immature and childish they accepted each couple for who they once were. They were also supportive of the Recall person but also respected the EX who was being Recalled decision. I thought I wouldn’t like it because I’m used to watching the shows were they have 1-3 weeks in a house to decide but 1 day was actually enough to resolve the hearts of both the Recall person and the EX. I felt relieved that the Recall person’s could reunite or were able to move on from the lingering feelings by participating in this show.There were a few episodes I teared up on because sometimes like life just happens or you reunite and realize the two are in different places in their lives now and you have to keep that EX you once loved so deeply as just a memory.
I hope they come back for another season.

So Far, Slightly Above Average. There's Potential & Room For Story Development.
It keeps your attention! You will want to solve the mystery too. This isn’t a fast-paced thriller Tyler of storyline, but it’s not boring. The OST is nice. I’m patiently waiting for Uhm Tae Goo to get more screen time, I love his works. If you feel Episode 1 wasn’t that spectacular stick through it! Episode 2 is much better than, the story is slowly unraveling. It gives me the “Beyond Evil” drama vibes. I’ll update my review on some episodes if I feel the need to until the end. I’m giving it a 7 for now, based on 1st 2 episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
