Moving, mindblowing, epic

I enjoyed it a lot.

The first 7 episodes were light and cute.

The middle episodes about the parents were heart-wrenching and the storytelling was incredible.

The last episodes were epic yet moving.

What I liked about this series is how they showcased the lives of the villains making you feel for them, it was just sad. The people in power were the real bad guys.

My fav episodes were definitely 9 and 13 coz of Dosik and Minhyun. Their story was the best. I wish they extended the scene where Doo-sik reunited with his family, like I was mad when they zoomed out line excuse me, I waited for this exact moment for forever.

I can already tell a season 2 is coming ( hopefully ) or else they would have shown Bonseok and huisoo together. ( they r officially the cutest couple of 2023)

Fun, hilarious, none cliche romcom

2nd April 2023
Enjoyed it alot. Unique compared to the rest of kdramas i watched. I loved the main female lead. It was hilarious too especially the first episodes, the chem was soo good. Do wonjun( the 2nd male lead was soo handsome, i am a sucker for long haired dudes. I really liked it, wish it was longer just coz i had a fun time. I finished it in one night except for the last ep coz my phone was broken.

The only negative thing I have to say is the ' i love u' confessions were a bit insta lovey as they kinda of just met.

Anyway, overall a good romcom with no cliches

Fun, heart-flattering and unique

I really loved it. The first time i liked a kdrama i watched as it aired till the end.

I wanted more romantic scenes between the leads and sunjae and haeso i think they should have shortened the storyline of the murder and the aunt( the birth mom storyline shouldn't have been there) .

Also i am confused how fast some characters changed ( sua and sunjae's mom mainly) and what the hell was up with sua storyline ( where she freaked out implying she had something to do with missing hae) they just left it.
Other than that, i really enjoyed my Saturdays and sundays.

Editing me( mar 21 2023)
I think i enjoyed the first have way more than the second coz of that, i am reducing the rating to 8.5 or 8.75 instead of 9).

Hilarious, wholesome friendship, found family

I loved it at first. The first 2 episodes were hilarious like I was literally dying. I don't think any other drama made me laugh like that.

Ep 3-13 was good. Very entertaining, There were moments I laughed out loud but mostly I was just smiling and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Ep 13-17 are my least favourite
I would have rated this drama higher ( 9/10) if it wasn't for this part, mainly because of the weird love triangle between Yuna, the chef guy and Dong-goo. This part made me dislike his character a lot. He was so immature and it wasn't funny or entertaining at all. And I didn't see why yuna was attracted or had affection for him. Like he would literally make her do more chores and boss her around just so she wouldn't see the other guy ( pathetic ) they were my least favourite ship but I liked how he treated he after they got together.

Ep 18-20
The spark of the show came back and I grew to love Min Soo Ah and Bong Doo-Sik together and individually.

My favourite character was Lee Joon-ki and it is mainly thanks to the actor who did an excellent job. He was hilarious but also precious and such a good friend and boyfriend.

Kang soo join was a character I liked a lot, especially in the beginning. Baby Sol was cute too.

Overall a heartwarming drama and I like when the part of OST where they mention the drama's name. ( ? Waikiki Wonderland ?)

And I loved the ending scene ❤️

Good

I really love that it kind of felt a bit like soap opera like Hollywood kind of drama but in a way that's really works. like it's not cliché or like super dramatic even the OST reminded me of Indian dramas. anyway, I think there's a perfect drama, like a quick drama that was a perfect mix between a good love story and a revenge story that isn't kind of annoying and super intense. It was perfect in the sense that it was light-hearted. The Leads also had perfect chemistry. They were believable as a couple. I wouldn't say it was like emotionally invested but it wasn't really taking me out of the story so that was good overall it was really a good drummer because as soon as they've finished it like even before I finished it looking for another drama that I had similar vibes to it. Before like I even finished episode 12 so like that's how I knew I really want her. Anyway the mean girl is really pretty I just had to say that. It really pains me to say this but even the step mother was really really pretty like I was just like wow she's really pretty but she was so annoying and I hated her so much and that's how you know like the actress was really good. I think overall agree characters portrayed with you and I enjoyed it a lot.

I am speechless (in a good way)

My head is spinning ( just finished the last episode )

first case ( 1-4 ish):
I was pumped, and full of adrenaline, it was crazy and the story was interesting.

I calmed and acted it got solved. And I kinda of didn't have the urge to watch the next episode right away.
The same thing happened with the other cases until around episodes 7-8 ( I think) where the cases got more personal/related to our main characters and I got emotionally attached to them so I was more invested in the drama. It's kind crazy how much I ended up loving the characters when I am not really that attached to the characters of thriller/mystery dramas.

The story was interesting and done well.
Though it made my head spin a few times, it wasn't that confusing.

The last episode was something, the drama suggested so many things, like how the transmissions could have gone to someone else and it was just crazy and I am really happy that he was alive.

I really love how all three main characters had some sort of relationship.
Even though this isn't a romance, the relationship and chemistry between detectives Lee Jaehan and Cha So Hyun was so cute and then Cha So Hyun and Park Hae-young had less of an implied romantic relationship but they had a hot sizzling chemistry and weirdly, I was shipping for both relationships.
( I don't usually ship a person with a lot of people)

I feel like they won't make a second season, but I wonder how they will do the story if they decide to, like there are so many things to touch on but I wonder what they will do the characters with)

I am not unhappy about the open-ended even though I was wishing for a reunion of all three of them but yeah, this is a good drama and it really made me cry especially when our main characters were on the verge of death.

Lovely, unique, messy

I like the first a lot more.

The story kinda of dragged a lot at the end. They didn't set up the viewers to be invested in the mystery part of the plot so I was only interested in the romance and the characters.

So the show should have ended 1 episode after they got together in my opinion and the killer should have been the father, that way the plot wouldn't be messy. ( too much )

Also I feel like they were trying to create a sense of community/ found family ( I don't know how to explain this well) like in those small town dramas
But I don't think it worked well here as we didn't know the stories of the individuals nor did we need to. So that's another thing that made the drama messy was too many unnecessary characters.

Whimsical, wholesome and beautiful

I loved the vibes of this drama.

It was so whimsical, unique, fun and swoony.

I loved the chem btw the 2 couples.
Our main was just so cute and sweet. And I will never forget the dancing on the beach scene, it is just ICONIC. and the kind of thing I just love!

The part where her sister believes her was a bit unbelievable for me but I can also understand to some degree still wasn't completely on board with how everyone believed past lives existed just like that. That's my main critique.

I love the vibes and feelings from the first episodes ( 1-9/ one or two up after they got together ). It took me a while to finish coz the pace slowed down my interest much) but also cuzIi was in a slump.

Also, I love the way she calls his name so softly, ✨" Seoha" ✨

They are def one of my favourite couples.

Also through this show, I have found my ideal type; Golden Retriever X serious quiet guy

If you know, you know

I liked the ending but I don't understand why why she went to her job as she just forgot her memories.

But the amnesia wasn't necessary if the whole ' remembering our loved ones from our past life will hurt them. just didn't exist and instead found another way to stop remembering her past lives.

Through the roof kinda of Chemistry

23 july 2023

8.75 ✨
I loved todays episode a lot even though i didnt it finish it coz i am taking my time with it especially since tomorrow is sunday and there will be no new episode.

I cried a lot when xu qin said to yang that she will be alone if he dies as his family are nice and accommodating of her because of him.

I just love her. Jayo! Xu qin

Also song yan is setting standards soo high lol, he is soo nice to her and just loves her whole heartedly. And the he just recognizes things about her with her telling him is just lovely. Like how he told her to go to her family since its new years and he knows she misses them even though he doesnt like them.

Should i again say i love xu qin, she is just lovely, her cold yet vulnerable and cute personality is killing.

Anyway, u know what i realized that song yan and xu qin relationship is really the most healthy relationship ever given their background.

Like the fact that she can raise her voice ( complaints ) against him without cowering like she is with her family may annoy some viewers or think she is taking advantage of him but to me it shows the kind of relationship they have. Its not toxic in the sense that she doesn't expect him to retaliate in a negative way like threaten get or manipulate her.


Anyway, her concerns are valid. And some may say y get involved with a firefighter to begin with if u cant handle the problems, and as logical as that sounds, most people really don't see those things when they r falling in love or pursuing someone thats y the phrase love is blind exists. It just is very realistic thats why a lot of couples face such problems after the rosey stage ends.

Finished

Overall good.
The story could use some improvement like the mother should have faced consequences for her cruelty but it felt like they changed her personality to fit into a digestable mother figure but then it is a c drama intended for the Chinese audience so i get. At least they included the rescueing of the mother so that she can appreciate song yan and his job.

Anyway, i liked the couple / main characters story as individuals was way better than the overall story. But the firefighters have a special place in my heart.

Sparks all kinds of emotiona

Perfect ? idk how else to describe it.
One of the best love stories in drama land this yr.

The whole drama was beautiful, the cinematography, the ost omg, the ost especially the one they ended with each ep?

From their meeting to falling in love to fighting for their love waa just good. They had fire chemistry, both sexual and just idk how else to say but spiritually.

The supporting cast was perfect. The lityle friendship group that they formes, the vibe and architecture of the house, perfect.

I also love how it wasnt dramatic like the love triangle, their separation, the whole drama was peaceful. Their live was peaceful.

I also just loved ira's character, she brought bright energy, comedy and fun to the drama, her and her friends.

Also this drama sparked and made me somehow remember about my own painful past and scars which lead to an 8 mins recording ( that i still havent sent which is what i was intending to do ) and soo much crying, i dont think i have cried like that b4.

Anyway, i really loved it, wished it was longer even though it was just perfect as 9 ep.
