Desperate Simps with No Self Respect in Love

First and foremost this drama didn't need to have 40 eps but could have easily be done around 24 eps. The story isn't something out of the box or new but a mix of many cliche tropes put together in one. The drama has a good star cast which did good with their roles.

Good:
1) The one and probably the only strong point in this drama is the brotherhood between the male leads. They all have way more chemistry together than with the female leads. Their banters and teasing with each other is quite fun to watch.

2) The acting is decent by every cast member.

Bad:
1) As I said in the headline the drama should be titled desperate simps in love. By the end of the drama you would be pretty much thinking what do these guys even see in these girls to have no self respect and keep wiggling their tails around them ....hell I wished all of them ended up single by the end and go on a trip together away from the girls.

2) Each and every female lead is full of flaws which they don't even deal with till the end, some are insecure while some are childish, some are too controlling while some treat their boyfriend like doormat.

3) After every few eps you will see one of the female leads give up on their partner for childish reasons and dumb misunderstandings and the male being desperate to get back with them. The communication between them sucks and doesn't improve till the end.

4) The story becomes draggy which could have been avoided had they reduced the number of episodes.

The only reason I gave the drama a 6/10 is due to the good brotherhood they have shown in it cuz there isn't much else to see in this one. Only watch it if you are a fan of the cast otherwise it can be ignored

A ride full of fun and chaos

I still remember watching Jim Carrey's "Liar Liar" and how a laughter riot it was filled with chaotic moments. When I read the synopsis of this drama, I knew it is gonna be a ball of chaos and that is exactly what it has been.

Go Kyung Pyo is a great casting for the role and damn he is humorous with his expressions and acting. Looking at his past dramas with him pulling off different types of characters, he has improved a lot.
I always wanted to see Kang Hanna in lead roles, so was quite happy to see her in this drama.

The drama has many funny, chaotic and dramatic moments, but is kept light hearted and I hope it remains the same till the end, instead of going full melodrama crap. There are some cliche tropes used like the love triangle between ML,FL and SML but even with the triangle, things are kept humorous and simple instead of going for overly dramatic confrontations and stuff. The drama has gotten better with each episode and with endings that make you look forward to the next ep.

It is a must watch for those looking for a drama that can give them a good laugh.

A realistic and modern approach to love and healing.

This drama ain't your fluffy romantic love story full of cliche tropes but a modern and realistic one where both the leads have their own career, goals and views towards life. One is a town's boy who wants to live a slow and peaceful life while the other is a city girl with high ambitions and dreams.

Both are different from each other and have their own baggage they carry within them while one is physically affected, the other is mentally. The leads have good chemistry and is shown through their teasing and lowkey flirting with each other. Things are kept at a good pace and aren't draggy.

One thing about this drama is that not everyone will like FL's character as some will find her selfish and annoying which she is too some extent and that she keeps on hurting ML's feelings which she does but then again this was never a drama with two perfect people. It has been more about two people, each having their own baggage and different way of living end up liking each other and seeing whether things work out or not. It is quite realistic and modern approach to love.

It is a good watch if you are looking something different and relatable type of a drama.

Leads chemistry is the only strong point of the show.

The drama is a mix of many cliche tropes summed together but the story and its pace has been quite good so far. The drama as every other romantic C-drama has SML and SFL who are gonna try to separate the leads but get rejected and like every other drama they aren't the type to hear NO so will continue with their shit till the end.

There are moments where the story felt a little dud but the sizzling chemistry of leads make up for it. Lu Yang Yang has improved a lot when it comes to her acting over the years while Zhao Zhi Wei is one good actor who can pull of both positive and negative roles well. Both the leads have strong chemistry and don't really hold back in showing it off.

I still think the drama could have been done in 24 or less as the last few eps will be quite draggy with the confrontations, cliche breakup and stuff. The ending is done fairytale, even the antagonists who have commit crimes and done shitloads of bad shit are easily forgiven and let go without any legal issue so it was quite crappy to watch.

It is a one time watch, if you are fan of the actors otherwise it can be ignored.

A good rom com story but lacks the chemistry between the leads.

I enjoyed the webtoon and the drama did manage to live up to it too a good extent.
The cast was good and each member did justice to heir character.

Honestly when I heard Jeong Seo being casted for the role, I was quite skeptical of whether she can pull of the role as most of her roles till now had nothing to do with rom-com stuff but she for sure impressed me.

The drama is good, lighthearted and humorous. It is quite different from the cliche romcom dramas and also manages to shed light on topics of how LGBTQ folks live and are treated in a country where it is still not openly accepted.

The chemistry between the leads is lukewarm. It just didn't feel organic or warm or sizzling . Maybe due to the casting or execution but it was a letdown.

It started with a good pace but went a little draggy in its last episodes. Overall it is a good one time watch.

A Rundown and Ruined version of Webtoon that ain't worth your time

When the show was announced I was looking forward to it as I liked the webtoon which showed a relatable and painful side to the end of a relationship between a couple who had been together for a long while.

I had high expectations from the show but what what I get is a pathetic shitshow between a cold woman who enjoys gaslighting her pathetic, crying and no self respect of an ex-bf. The show will make you hate the guts out of leads especially FL and makes you want to slap some sense into the doormat of an ML who all he does is begging for a second chance. The show keeps on dragging and suffering with each episode. They changed many things from webtoon and only to make things worse.

I would say the side couples are way more interesting then the leads as atleast they have some progression while for the leads there is nothing......no story progression, no character development, dragged misunderstandings, FL being a total bitch to ML and all he does is get drunk and cry in front of her only to get rejected by her again and again.

The show ruined the entire depth behind FL's character and her decisions. The woman I rooted for so much in the webtoon became the most disliked and toxic FL who deserves to be alone .

Do yourself a favor, ignore this suffering of a show and just read the webtoon

Kim Ji Eun and Park Solomon's drama is a breath of fresh air in this cliche trope of Body Swapping

The show from start to end is engaging, chaotic, mysterious, humorous and even dark at some points making the viewers curious on what will happen next. This isn't you cliche romantic stuff where the leads swap their bodies and fall in love later on but more about two extremely opposite people with each having their own secrets, motives and ambitions.

FL's character isn't some damsel in distress but one strong, cold, bossy, ruthless and arrogant wolf who is ready to go through hell and even put others through it to get the job done. ML's character is a loud, chaotic sometimes childish guy who works under the FL and often faces the brunt of her actions. Both of their arcs end up getting interconnected with each learning to work with the Swap and at the same time going ahead to achieve their own motives.

The best part of the drama is that romance isn't forced down the throat of viewers but is kept subtle while keeping the main focus on the mystery and thrill factor of the show.

The cast especially the leads have nailed their roles. Both did justice to their own and each other's characters too. I would say it is a must watch if you are looking for something new.

Watch it if you are a huge fan of the cast otherwise it can be ignored

It is a cute and fluffy love story between two people who have a love for making and playing games.

The show starts good but becomes draggy with the entire "hard to please" trope being pulled first by the ML and then by FL. For more than half the show this push and pull continues, making it become quite boring and even making the FL's character look childish and annoying too.

The story isn't something new or out of the box and the strong point of the show is just its lead casts. If you are a fan of LY and ZY or are looking for some cute cliche love story drama then you may go for it otherwise you can ignore it as it doesn't bring anything new from what has been shown in C dramas a hundred times.

QUEEN OF IDIOCY AND HER BIGGEST SIMP.

A show that looked quite interesting and engaging from its trailer and previews only to end up as a total dud. The episodes get boring with each case and rarely are moments of anything exciting. It is draggy and even gets annoying sometimes especially the entire relationshit arc between the leads.

One of the most dumbest female leads to ever exist. I still don't know how she even managed to become a lawyer. From the previews it looked like she will be one strong willed and badass lady but all you get is an idiotic damsel in distress who just keeps putting herself into dangerous situations, only to be rescued by ML. In almost very ep, she just keep crying and lamenting.

Kang Ki Young finally getting a lead role but just the wrong show. His character is a huge doormat of a simp who just cannot move on from a lady who dumped him to marry someone richer and influential. The entire past love arc was pure crap and would have been better if not kept in the show. Dude keeps on getting hurt by FL's decisions and keeps coming back wiggling his tail.
There is no chemistry between the leads and neither is any character progression. I would say the relation arc between Sara and her ex husband was way better than the ex boyfriend turned coworker dude.

I would say the antagonists were way better than the leads and at some parts I even wanted them to win be it the ex husband or his mother. They did really well with their part.
If you are looking for some exciting law and thriller stuff, this show ain't worth your time.

Park Min Young's comeback is strong and striking

A really good adaptation of a webtoon into a drama . From the start to end, the drama was engaging. The drama will make you feel for the characters be it hatred or sympathy, love or disgust. Each and every cast member played their part extremely well be it the main leads or side characters or the antagonist.

PMY's comeback was phenomenal. After facing such a turbulent time in her life for past year where many expected her career to go down the hill, she bounced back with a stellar drama and took her spot back.

For me the star of the show is "Song Ha Yoon". She absolutely nailed her role and showed off her versatility. Hell I even forgot she is the same girl from the drama "Fighting For My Way". As much as I liked her character in that drama, I did end up hating her a lot in this one. She managed to do the same what Lim Ji Yeon did in "The Glory". So kudos to her.

Lee Yi Kyung's " Gwenchana Gwenchana" ain't working in this drama what his acting sure is. Dude played the role of a sleezy asshole extremely well.

The show is a worth spending time on if you are looking for some good and satisfying revenge drama.

This drama rides solely on the chemistry between the leads

The drama has a warm and fluffy story that has been shown many times in C dramas before. The story isn't something new or too interesting but is watchable all thanks to the leads chemistry and the little cutie who is the icing on the cake.

Miles Wei playing the same type of CEO who starts cold but warms up later on. He has played this type of CEO character in so many dramas so nothing new in this at all while Hu Yi Xuan certainly did well with her role. Gonna have to give credit to the boy who plays ML's son for doing really well with his role at such a young age.


It is a good one time watch if you are a fan of the actors.

Dumb witted boy meets his feisty childhood crush again and both help each other in facing the world.

This funny sometimes chaotic show set in a small town is one nice ride with many heartwarming moments. A countryside bumpkin ML who has given up on his dream and is living a life with no goals ahead meets his child hood friend after years.

ML is kinda dumb witted and sometimes irritatingly childish but someone with a pure heart. He has some self esteem issues and rarely stands up for himself even being a doormat to his Ssireum buddies. Then there is FL a strong willed undercover cop with a sad and broken past returns to her hometown to catch a killer.
Both the leads meet and many hidden feelings emerge again.

The show has many genres mixed in it making it kind of a mess sometimes. It isn't too strong on romance but more on sports, crime and healing tropes. The leads and their friends help heal each other and in the process many bonds that were broken before strengthen.

So if you are looking for some good lowkey sports -romance show, this is a good one time watch.

Starts good but goes for a free fall in the end

Started good and strong but went straight down hill in the last episode. Till E5 she was just one greedy woman who wanted to earn lots of money but in the last ep they turned her into a cheating woman too who blames and gaslights ML for her sleeping with the ex bf. Instead of talking with her husband for lack of intimacy she cheats on him and then calls him out for not being good enough. ML suffered the entire show for her greed and all he gets in the end is this. The best ending would have been them moving on separately but NO they just get back together like nothing. Ruined the entire show and character for me.
