Extremely overated
This is a hard No for me..The storyline was very weak.
I was extremely bored by 6th episode.
Goodness the pace was sooooooo sloww!! They took forever to finish a sentence. I watched it at 2x speed most of the time.
The Male lead Prince then king is the only saving grace in this drama in my opinion he sort of carried the show.
The FL (face palm) so cringey . From the synopsis o expected a tough admirable girl yet the gave this sheepish girlish sulky character.
Why are there so many good reviews. What did people watch, I doubt it's the same thing I watched.
The only okayish parts were some parts between ep13-16.
Then behold we have the Trainwreck that was episode 17. They should have left this out. It was pointlessly sad. Like did everyone have to die. The deaths don't even look like part of the story.
Oh well.
Yours faithfully,
Disappointed fan

All over the place.
I have a confession, I've forwarded past most of the episodes. Don't even ask me what's going on in the plane with the flight attendants or the shop. It's not the best drama. There I said it. The story is so slooooow. The only thing going for it is the kiss. But take that away and there's not much left. Also maybe the sister. It had so much potential. Even without the cultural issues prince episode, the story arc made little contribution to the story. And what was with that fake wedding. I don't know. It's just too much. I stuck around for the love story between the leads but I'm not sure that's enough to keep me around anymore.Was this review helpful to you?
amazing drama
I would have given this a perfect ten if it wasn't for the leading lady. Every time she appears on the screen I want to turn it off. I find her acting so unconvincing and overdone. Her character is supposed to be a doctor but it comes out as a silly girl with those fake facial expressions and overdone mannerisms. It has made me so angry. I cant imagine this drama had a director who directed this character throughout the show. In many cases she waters down the main guy character so much you just want to cry. I would have given this a perfect ten if it wasn't for her.The leading man was AMAZING. SO emotional and sexy. swoon* every identity came out beautifully. of course Segi stood out (maybe it was the eyeliner) nevertheless JiSung totally made this drama. Haven't seen him in anything else yet but I will look for some.
The rest of the characters are okay and play their part well. No complaints
Story very good. Abit slow at some points but that s Kdrama for you. Much love
I am struggling to finish this drama because the story is coming together so well, its getting so nice and emotional but the leading lady is just there making silly facial expressions (sigh)

Don't be fooled by the reviews. Its sooooo boring. Let me explain why...
This has to be the most overrated drama. The story is good enough but so confused. Too much happens I the first 5 episodes then it just falls flat. The dialogues are so drawn out.... I want ......( 3 minutes pause......) to leave. Every dialogue was just a few words followed by the longest pause known to man. I watched it at1.5x and still no hope. Also I forwarded through alot of the second part and if I'm being honest most of the final episodes. I can't even tell you what happened to the barbarians because I honestly don't care.Also that love story of constant pushing each other away.... Just No. It only works once for a good story the rest is tiring. Again if I'm being honest I cant tell you what happened to the main characters at the end and again, I don't care.
Amnesia!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhh. I almost broke my phone at that point. It doesn't work anywhere. It didn't work for boys over flowers and it's never worked for any other drama so...No just No.
I liked parts of the FL and parts of the ML. not all but they tried. I blame the director. He must have been there after ever scene shouting .... Cut!!!!! Talk more slower!!!!! Hehe
Finally the editing made no sense. They must have made some mistake in the final editing because the scenes were just jumping forward and back without any logic. That was very frustrating!

Surprisingly beautiful
I like how Kdrama can take a seemingly boring topic like weightlifting and weave a beautiful love story. It was a very cute story with a lot of SWAG. congratulations to the team. I'm happy I watched this. Sometimes it's good to not read other reviews before watchingI loved the characters both main and side characters. The girls had alot of personalities. The only weakish point was trying to hook up ALL the characters. Some of those subplots were sooooo WEAK. But it's forgiven since overall the story was lovely

It was promising but falls short
I gave it a seven because of the dramatic effects and the wardrobe of the cast. I've fallen asleep in two of the episodes. Honestly it started so good. Now I'm just waiting to see if anything cool happens later on. The FL is good but the chemistry is off I don't know why. The main lead is okay but falls short ABIT. I loved the grandma. Hate the crazy stalker dude. I'm not even interested in the succession politics. Couldn't care less who ends up with the company. Also they have taken too long to bring up this contract and even introduced an unnecessary love triangle. Sigh. .........Was this review helpful to you?
Three episodes in and I give up
It's so confusing. The story is all over the place. They are taking the longest road to bring out the story l. The actors are barely convincing. I have never seen a drama where I'm detached from ALL the main characters. ALL OF THEM. The ML is emotionless, the FL is a clown. Also can they stop with the wierd audio sounds like sheep and dogs barking, they add nothing to the story. Those people giving high reviews, which show are you watching? The story is not convincing, the jokes are sooo forced. I keep falling asleep every time I start watching. This one has refused me.

What would she never know???
It's such a boring drama to be honest. Very very very slow. Too many long pauses I've tried watching it at 1.5x speed and still can't. They focus too much on the logistics of the makeup company that there's no room for an enjoyable story. I had high hopes for it but 7 episodes in and I am done. The actors were okay. It's not their fault they were given the most boring script and direction to work with. And what's with the title? It makes no sense and it gives no intention of making sense so far. Maybe by the end it will make sense but I won't be there for it .Was this review helpful to you?
