This is NOT another Descendants of the Sun.
First of all, I want to say this is NOT another descendant of the sun. when is first read the plot I was hesitating thinking it was going to be similar to DOTS but it's not. The FL is a doctor and the ML is a civil servant. the ML and SML are besties and that's pretty much where the similarity ends.The story is super cute . i think i was pretty much smiling like an idiot for most of the 40 episodes. And the chemistry between the leads are so sweet. Sometimes i wonder if they actually include the bloopers into the drama because the lead couple seems to be having so much fun on screen.
There are intense moments, cute moments, cringy moments which are perfectly executed by the leads. This is one of those Cdramas that should end up in your watchlist.

It's the best Cinderella version out there!!
This is a wholesome, lighthearted and healing RomCom. It's the best Cinderella version I have ever watched. The Cinderella in this drama is no damsel in distress or a woman who needs a black knight/prince to save her. She is very realistic about her situation and she understands her values.This drama is about a prince chasing after his Cinderella after his Cinderella dumps him.
The first 2 episodes were a bit disorienting because the viewers were plunged into the middle of the vortex of events of how Cinderella was dumping her prince without giving us the context of WHY. But from the 3rd episode onwards the story slowly unravels why Cinderella doesn't want to be a Cinderella and why her Prince is so adamant in chasing her.
This drama is something I would recommend for viewers who are looking for a lighthearted drama with a little bit of melancholy?? It might feel repetitive at times but I feel like the characters grew on their own and the character development was satisfying.
P.S. - The second leads story was the BEST. kekeke

A BL that is worth watching
Although I'm a fujoshi, I don't watch many BL but read ALOT of BL novels. And of the BLs I watched so far this is so far THE BEST!! I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!The plot was interesting, keeping you in suspense. The acting was excellent and didn't make me cringe. And the chemistry between ALL the couples in the drama is *internally screaming* SO DAMN GOOD!!

This is definitely a BL that is worth watching.

The true satisfaction comes when you look at the entire plot.
From what I realized is that everyone has mixed reviews on this drama. So If you want to watch this drama there are a few things you need to know.1. The start is slow, like any other normal drama to a point that will make you even wonder why everyone is making such a fuss about it. But believe me when I say it's going to snowball into something really good. At times you will find yourself at the edge of your seat and the next second rolling off it while laughing.
2. You're going to meet the most eccentric bunch of characters, that you won't see in any other drama. The only sane character is Vincenzo and he later gets influenced by those bunch of weirdos down the story. At first, you will probably find it exasperating, but trust me those characters will grow on you.
3. Truthfully the story doesn't have much depth to it. but the true satisfaction comes when you look at the entire plot. Usually, most of the stories are good guys vs bad guys. but have you ever watch an evil guy standing alongside the good guys and kick the asses of another bad guy? and the satisfaction of the bad guys losing at every corner because of one big baddie on the good side!!!
To sum the story up, it's about the evil Wusang- Babel family bullying the Geumga family and the rest of the society with their power and money. This powerless party pairs with Vincenzo Cassano to fight against the opposing party. So a fight between the Cassano - Geumga family Vs. Wusang - Babel Family ensures. To put it simply it's like a fight between Godzilla vs king kong.

The story was better than we expected.
Very engaging
Great acting from the cast.
Well-organized plot
No confusions
The murder scenes are very graphic and very detailed which can be a bit disturbing on some occasions.

WHOLESOME! WHOLESOME! WHOLESOME!
Getting a 9/10 for a weekend drama from me, speak volumes.This drama is officially the second weekend drama that I watched without missing an episode!! 6 months, waiting every weekend just to watch this drama and religiously keeping up with the updates!! Ended up hating some characters, cursing some in the middle, rolling my eyes at some point, and laughing like an idiot in others!! Sometimes I got frustrated, and sometimes mad enough to flip the table, My heart when fluffy in some scenes and even felt like crying in others. Every step was fun. there was character development and story development was gradual, there was no obvious rushing at the end. This ticks off as one of those perfect weekend dramas.

Don't get misled by the "some special needs in bed"
Lemme warn you before you watch this. Don't be misled by the BDSM needs of the male lead. The steamy scenes are only there in the first episode and then it's just puppy love through the rest of the episodes.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The shou is such a selfish *** who doesn't even give a shit about how the gong feels. Which was annoying for me.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
As for the acting, the gong did a good job but not the shou. Overall I'm in the gong team in this drama. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

This is a story about the people spanning for three generations in a little fishing village in Jeju. This is not about some smart uni graduate living in jeju or some cheobal coming to jeju to get away from the busy life of soul, this is a story about low income families and villagers barely graduating from high school, living in a little fishing village all their lives. Their entire world revolves around this little village and all their pain and happiness is etched within the confines of this village. Their biggest happiness is to earn a good daily wage and then go for a drink at the end of the day.
This is not one story but several story arcs telling the story of several people living in the little fishing village of Jeju.
The first arc is about Jung Eun Hee and her first love coming back to jeju. She thinks it is the right time to rekindle their love only to find that he was here to borrow money from her due to a failed business venture.
The second arc is between Bang Young Joo and Jung Hyun, two high school students. The girl gets pregnant with the guy's child. This is the most intriguing arch out of all for me because this talks about teenage pregnancy. The issue is debate worthy because this couple decides to keep the baby. I personally feel this is is a bad idea because the two are in high school and both of them don't have mothers and only two incompetent fathers as family members. And both their fathers barely make ends meet with their meager daily wages from working in the fish market. The couple have fantasies about doing their further studies after having the baby, but how far will it be possible? A baby needs attention and as they grow up they require more money and the couple are determined to raise the baby while doing further studies and doing a job while still relying on their father's daily wages. But I feel like their future plan is not very realistic considering their economical background. But I also understand why the kids decide to keep the baby. They are both brought up by their incompetent fathers without a mother's love, so both of them want to give the love that they didn't recieve to their baby, which is undestandable. But in the end will it be possible to give a good future to the baby while securing their own future??
The third arc is between Lee Dong Seok , a street stall owner and Min Seon Ah, a woman going through depression and divorce. Lee Dong Seok was her neighborhood oppa when she was little. Lee Dong Seok meets a depressed Min Seon Ah after years and helps her go through the worst period in her life as she struggles with dovorce and child custody lawsuit with her husband while fighting with her severe depression. Later her condition improved with the support of Lee Dong Seok.
The fourth arc is the love story between Lee Young Ok, a harvester and a captain of a ship, Park Jung Joon. Park Jung Joon pursues the beautiful Lee Young Ok, who is famous for being a player in the village. But Lee Young Ok has a lot of misgiving in her life and repeatedly rejects Park Jung Joon. Later they get together and the reason for her misgiving is revealed to be due to her disable twin sister who she has to look after for the rest of her life.
The fifth arc is about friendship. The story revolves around the friendship between Jung Eun Hee and her childhood friend who comes to jeju. This arch reveals the loyalty and talks about the pure friendship that was built over years in this little fishing village. The friendship described is so pure and simple. These people don't have complex minds and their hate and love is expressed in a pure and straightforward way that it's absolutely heartfelting.
The sixth arc is between Hyun Choon Hee and her grandchild who comes to Jeju for a few weeks after her father gets into an accident. The love between grandparent and grandchild is expressed in a raw but sweet way. The arch shows how the entire village get together to fulfill a childish fantasy of a little child which will make you want to cry.
The final arc is between Lee Dong Seok and his mother who is in her late stage of cancer. This story shows how Lee Dong Seok fulfilled his mother's last wishes before she died and how Lee Dong Seok reconciled with his decades long hate towards his mother after she remarried to another man when he was young.
Every arc speaks to the very depth of my heart. The story is absolutely the most heartfelt story I ever watched. Each and every episode makes me want to cry. There is no tragedy, just talks about the most basic human feeling to its very rawest level.
Apart from those arch it is also laced with other stories and pretty much talks about human nature and their feeling and thought to the most primary levels.
Each and every second is worth watching and I'm so glad that I didn’t drop this drama. The first 4 episodes are more or less an introduction to the lives of the people living in the village but things get interesting from the beginning of the second arc.

Watching it makes you feel empty but I still want to watch it because it's still alluring. overall there is not a lot of story to tell for the main characters. so their story keeps on repeating over and over again.
I can't say that the story is poorly written, on the contrary the story is well written but the plot is missing, the development in the story is missing. but the dialogues are fun, the characters are interesting, the actors are hot, cute and adorable.
I was pretty much crying from the first episode owing to Park Bo Young's stellar acting.
But the second lead's love tringle is much more interesting. I think it is also the reason that this drama was still floating.
Usually when it comes to supernatural dramas, the story mostly tends to focus on the supernatural character and his love story. plus they tend to revolve around some tragic mystery or spans several lifetimes. But this story is unlike them, this drama is about this random supernatural dude falling in love with a random girl in the street. no complicated plot twists.
And I also feel like in this drama it's talking about "a" story that "the" story of the supernatural being.

Initially I started this movie without much expectation but at some point I just fell into a trance and the next thing I know "boom!!" it's over. Night in paradise is about guns, thugs, gangs, murders, gunfights, knife fights, fistfights, car chases,...(you name it, this have it). Warning, this is not about your hero saving the damsel in distress or the guy who saves the day. Is about losers fighting against another bunch of losers in a pathetic world of their own. and in the midst of it is the our girl like a broken kite.
You can also say it's about 2 broken people.....
This is not going to give you a rush of adrenaline but instead its going to leave you stone cold. But its not dark either, more like you get sucked into a void kind of felling.

The ending is sad but it's satisfying.......

This is the larger-scale version of sweet home. ( or should I say smaller version??)
This is the larger-scale version of sweet home. ( or should I say smaller version??) - why did I say this?? Cuz the apartment complex is larger but then the spread of the virus is less.Han Hyo Joo, way to go queen!! Her acting just leveled up!! Love her so much. And the chemistry between her and Park Hyung Sik!! *hearts* *hearts*
Sheesh, my poor heart tho. I made sure to watch this in the daytime, cuz I don't usually like watching horror. Yess I'm a big girl but horror?? No- No
well, the Happiness in the whole thing comes in the last 5 minutes of the very last episode. So hang in there. (haha)
P.S - It took me 16 episodes to realize that the female Lieutenant in the story is the second female lead in "Tomorrow with you" *chuckles*
