Watched this just bc I waited so long

I don't like dropping dramas, so that's why I watched this. I read MANY bad reviews and I'm adding this one to the list. The drama was well-performed, the cast was amazing, but damn the story was bland. I don't want to spoil it all, but you probably have better dramas in your to-watch list :'))

Also so many random things? Things left unexplained, evens out of the blue, as if they really did their best to fill 6 episodes? This all could've been conduced in a short 5 minutes episode tbh.

Season 1 was way better, season 2 more mature but not what I expected...

Sexy characters? Nope. Weak characters? Yeah.

I'll be honest, I had high hopes. The story itself had potential. The synopsis sounded yummy, juicy, I was ready for the tea. The first episode showed me the chemistry I needed between the main leads. They're touchy, mean, beautiful, popular, alluring, but what I loved the most is that they were there for each other. I like it when the leads are a little bad but united, it only makes them more human.

But then, the main lead (Sihyun) met a girl (Taehee) and started to make dumb decisions I couldn't understand. Honestly, it's the first time I HATED the mc.

(From here on it's a little spoilery, so read at own risk).

He just betrayed the friends he knew for idk how long for a sweet looking crush of two days? I don't know, I don't think normal people would've discarded their best friends just like that. He did Sooji dirty, promising her a wedding and then cancelling without previous notice. She trusted him because his eyes said I love you, but he was just as fickle as a candle. I think Sihyun was a little bipolar actually. Sooji (and Sejoo) was my favourite character here, she was the most real one, handled like a human. She didn't just swallow the situation and move on, but made a move. Even though I found her a little weak in the end, the writer could've made all of them more wicked. Sejoo's move to avenge his love was also pretty, but it could've been more grand.

Another point I'd love to highlight is the lack of attention for other characters by the writers. It's like they focused on the main couple and didn't give any importance to the second leads. Their story was way more interesting if you ask me. Many things were super random in this drama.

The actors did an amazing job though, I really hated some and loved others, which means they played their characters very well. Only Joy was a little out of place tbh, she might've been trying, but she was such a controversial character, trying to act bad and all when the whole point of her personage was to be this weak soft girl that made events biggest playboy settle. This role wasn't an easy one, and I can't exactly say she nailed it.

The whole aesthetic created by the cover and the synopsis is kinda misleading, don't let that get to you. It's nothing sexy here, it quickly becomes one of those overly dramatic sappy (lame also?) drama's we've seen a lot. I'd watch it just to tick it off my list, nothing much more to say here...

Like sunlight on closed eyes

I don't know where to start, apart form the fact that this drama is extremely underrated? Maybe it's just me, but it felt like a breath of fresh air. I got mad with the characters, frustrated, sad, happy, surprised, in love. This drama made me feel things.

It's true that it's a slow series, but there are moments in life where that's exactly what you need. When you want to take a break from the 'Healer' or 'Descendants of the Sun' type dramas, and just take a rest. The palette was gorgeous, the story raw, without too many turns and frills. The feelings of falling in love, acceptance, moving on, they were all so present and God, so relatable. Not to mention the leads; Jung Haein is born for such roles, and Chae Soobin was just adorable.

Watch this drama when you're a little down and in need of softness and fluff, it'll make you smile, I'm sure.

Joseon on crAcK

The title says it all. I'll write a review without spoilers, so here goes.

Like the description reads, it's about a chef who travels back in time and lands in the body of a Joseon Queen. At first, I feared the concept but the reviews said this drama was gold, so I gave it a go. I'm not the type to enjoy historical dramas, but damn in this one the MC (Queen/chef) makes you even forget the drama takes place two centuries ago. So fresh!

Shin Hye Sun played the role perfectly, I sometimes wondered if she was really possessed by a male character. The MC was so clever, he/she didn't annoy me once, adapted quickly and

The fun thing in this drama is that there isn't one MC, all the support roles/ side characters have depth too, they're funny, real, expressions are priceless, all irreplaceable. Sometimes the humor is PG-13 but what do you expect when a man get a woman's body and discovers he's married to a SNACK of a king?

Although the genre is mainly comedy, this doesn't lack romance at all.

The only disappointing thing was the ending. Like, it wasn't suuuuper disappointing to the point of flipping tables, but they could've made it more meaningful, more thought out.

I'll stop here bc I don't want to drop spoilers, but If you need that comment that tells you whether you should watch it or not, GO WATCH IT.
