Funny, crazy, a story of guilt and forgiveness

This is on my top 5 dramas.
Started a bit slow but kept me interested immediately…

ML-GohJin is the worst overbearing CEO I have seen so far…. Really awful…
Throughout the story.. he is faced with so many crazy situations… acting is hilarious… kudos to ML is really good…
He took me in the journey of hating him, feeling sorry for him, understanding him and loving him… again, acting at his best.

FL-Sina went from pushover, desperate, crazy, angry to understanding, supportive and totally empowered woman with so much integrity…. She is the character with best development I have seen… ever..

The interactions between these two are great…

Overall the intrigue is fuel by guilt and blame… and like someone wrote in comments somewhere… how powerful words are… they can make you or break you…

Loved it, recommend it 100%

Excellent story about love, friendship, … totally recommend it

Quoting Tara Tara from dramacool…. I liked the way she phrased the comments:
“First of all, thanks to Jin Soo Wan for writing such a wonderful script, thanks to the director who masterfully realized it, thanks to the actors who made these characters so real that we cried and laughed along with them. This series had everything a quality series should have. There was laughter, and tears, and anger and compassion, and little life lessons that we all learned once but this hectic and chaotic life made us forget them somewhere along the way. I know we were all hoping that Yi Chan would be able to hear but this was actually the last in a series of lessons that this series has taught us. Running away from reality is not the solution to the problems we face, tackling the problems is the only way. We should use what we have been given in the best possible way, that is, use our disadvantages as a driving force. Exactly what Yi Chan did.”

Every episode made me laugh and cry… music was excellent… acting was great… pace was really good.
Overall.. yes, all the hype is absolutely true… it is a great story…

Chris Wu make it worth watching…

First time I watch a serie with Chris Wu… he was most of the story.. awesome.
Finally I see some nice, Mature ML… with a bit of funny but quite charming and more importantly.. he makes sense in his attitude and behaviour…. Most of the time.
Mixed feelings about FL…. A lot of good reviews but I felt she had no charisma and almost no expressions. Besides.. the way she acted with the best friend Wei… well.. you dont need to be super experienced to see that something is going on there…. Also… she kept playing it dumb with ML… telling him to drive the 2FL around and to do other things… come on! As nice as you can be… that made her look clueless… not smart enough.

Kudos for best friend Xiaobin…. The funny heart of the show.. I loved him!

Indeed… the last episodes were a bit blah… and the ending came out of the blue… a bit rushed.
Overall, the series were ok…
Do I recommend it? Yes if you have nothing else to watch
Would I see it again? Only that damned kiss outside the karaoke… wow! Best kiss Ever!

Funny, hilarious… short drama

Just finished watching Moon Lovers: Scarlet Letter Ryeo… and had a terrible hanfover because of the ending…. And read somewhere good reviews about this one.

And loved it!
FL is naturally sparky, funny…. ML starts seriously but pretty soon moves on to be also hilarious and funny.

Makes you think about those times when knowledge was feared… it took courage to start and implement the changes that made us the society we are today… without those visionaries, we will still be kn the dark ages.

Even though there are only 2 episodes.. it was well done… did not feel rushed and evolved very naturally.

Most important… it has ghe right ending…
Actually this is how Moon Lovers should have ended.

It helped me get over the disappointment i had.

Do I recommend it? Yes
Will I watch it again? Yes… especially if I need a good laugh

Someone get a helmet to this poor Louie!

What a nice, kind, loving story!
Even though Louie and KoBokSil are the most kind and trusting unbelievable characters ever…. I was cheering up for them since ep 1.

Louie is just such a spoiled young adult, so fragile but hanging there, trying to condront his adversity…. The actor was amazing… You can not even get angry with him…

Ko bok Sil.. same thing.. such hard working, responsible girl… always taking care of everybody… the
The only character that was a bit over the top was Mr Cha… even though the actor was also amazing, the age gal was very noticeable…
I loved the story and the ending…

Would I watch it again? Yes…
Would I watch a season 2? Absolutely!

Revenge is a dish best served cold... loved it!

mix of romance + thriller + justice in one bag.

First... again Park Min Young (Ji-Won) delivered an outstanding performance.
Since ep 1 I was cheering for her success and felt her dispair with the endless betrayals from her loved ones.
You can see her physical appeareance so fragile... it was very well done.

Na In Woo (Ji Hyeok), amazing partner in crime to have... he was instrumental in helping Ji Won get back what was stolen from her.

Now .. the bad guys... I hated them since day 1.... both the husband and the best friend... very well done for the actors that I found so hypocrite and sneaky ....

Overall... I was looking forward for the next episode... and I am very satisfied with the ending and how everything was wrapped up.

Would I recommend it ? YES
Would I watch it again ? YES

That says it all.

Revenge mini-series, with the most flirting male lead ever

Series are ok to watch, with all the needed elements to keep you interested.
FL was cheated and almost killed by the boyfriend, ending up in a coma for very long time. Of course the ML was the bodyguard, always by her side, waiting patiently for her.
Interesting that during her coma, she was aware of everything what was going on around her, so when she woke up, she embarked in revenge against her fiancé and best friend.
While the situations were a bit exaggerated, they are ok to watch.
One of them.. every episode you can watch the ML either taking a shower, changing clothes or having an excuse to take out his shirt. Very confident man, for sure!
Villain fiancé is evil in a funny way… quite entertaining.
Overall, ok series that will keep you entertained.

Hilarious, funny , entertaining… just din’t take it seriously

Taking it for what it is…. A story of fiction meant to entertain you… this one fits the bill.

All characters are funny, charming… situations are crazy, funny… with a mystery and a bit of thriller as well…
Even a love triangle and a great SML, that kept me cheering for him all the time.

While the actions and rationale of FL are questionable… honestly she is drowning in debt and can’t get out if it… same with the kidnapping …. It went from bad to terrible up to a point of no return… that can make anyone stop thinking rationale…

I loved that she is stronger than ML… and actually he is afraid of her… that created a lot of funny moments ..

Overall… funny and entertaining… I recommend it… and might watch it again when I need something lightto watch…

Happiness… able to live with enough

Nice, lovely story about life… with a bit of romance,… but romance is not the main topic here.

Sometimes life is just too much… cutting off all the ropes that tie us to a place, a job, a person…. Might seem dramatic but it might be the solution to .. life..

Literally going on a strike

FL could do that and broke all her attachments…. Let destiny take you to a place far distant from where you are.

I found this story a bit philosophical in its core…. But quite lovely.
Very slow, but still all characters were interesting enough to keep you watching.

Yes, I recommend it for those moments when you need a break from other heavier stories ..

Kept me glued to the tv until the end

Story starts with a disappointed FL travelling to ghe past after her fiance breaks up with her a few days before the wedding… originally the plot revolves about her, getting kver her ex-fiance… but slowly, plot changes.
Her time travel is attached to an incident with a classmate that suicides… the more she looks into it, and gets to know this guy, the more complicated everything gets… this is the ML… loved her forever, she just did not notice him until too late.

The story has fun, sad, happy and a lot of slow romantic moments… successfully manages ro keep it interesting.. even with 24 episodes.

Music is lovely… whole production is nice.
Bad point… the ending! Literally the last 5 secs leave thw whole thing open… but still.. liked it enough to watch the movie that is supposed to explain more…

Lovely story with good character development…

I liked it

Marriage is a bumpy ride.. Prepare the tissues.. You will need them for these.

I have seen this series recommended multiple times… so finally decided to check it out.
Totally worth it.

It starts with a painful break up based on extreme circumstances. Life is hard, especially for new mothers and fathers. Time becomes a commodity/ escarse resource in your life… days blend together and suddenly the joy of living is no longer visible.
That’s so true… that is the test of life for JJ and Ban Do.
In a mkment of pain, JJ wishes never to have met Ban Do… and her wish comes true… they both go back in time to the time right before they met.
Filled with knowledge of the future and opportunity, ghey bith embark in reliving their youth… which is understandable. No responsibility of a family… living under the parents.. enjoying student life… who would not want more?

Here is where you see the diff approach between men and women… Ban Do took the chance to court the first love, a ballerina dancer who he never dared to ask on a date. “His maybe… if…”. While JJ spent her time enjoying her family life with her mom.

I hated how Ban Do treated JJ… always putting her down, to a humiliating break point. Also JJ was not nice to him. For most of the series, I wished them happiness separately… but of course, in korean drama fashion… they found their way back to each other.
Their love was there… buried under the boredom and routine.

The series has a steady pace, keeping it interesting and the support characters were funny and lovable as well.
I enjoyed it very much… and both JJ and Ban Do managed to make me feel their emotions and end up wishing them luck and success…
Ending was ok for me.

Music was really nice.
Overall… I recommend it and would watch it again… its now one of my top series.

Short drama with strong, feisty FL that takes no BS from anyone and can fight back … bravo!

Short drama.. 20 episodes x 8 min avg…

An Duoduo is strong, independent and confident… I liked her.
Consistently, she kept true to herself, and independent, even though the ML wanted her to depend on him.. she refused.
Typical poor girl background ends up in a contact marriage with rich guy… and everybody looks down on her… but she always faced her critics and spoke back… that was refreshing!

Now the ML, Qin Qin… OMG! He is ok but so skinny… painful to see.. supposed to be the “head of Qin family”… he is so young, looks out of high school Musical.. nobody believed that…

Usual plots of jealousy, greed, misunderstanding, crazy ex girlfriend that wants to ruin them, etc.
The pace was good, and it helped that DuoDuo kept herself fighting back… also, she did not accept QinQin right away, he had to fight for her attention… that was nice.

Of course because it is short duration, the end was so quick, in 1 min everything sorted out. But Overall it was entertaining, fun and refreshing..
