I started watching this drama because the plot piqued my interest – the crossdressing seemed interesting and what more it was a man crossdressing as a woman which is pretty uncommon for dramas. The plot with crossdressing lasted only for the first ten episode but I didn't mind since then it became even more interesting. The plot twist with the cook being the prince was totally epic and the intrigue in the place kept me at the edge of my seat for the rest of the drama. I love how the tags here on MDL are showing the same attributes for the the ml and the fl as they were both really smart and strong.
Highly recommended!

This movie was such a funny ride indeed! The theme reminded me a bit of Pirates of the Caribbean but the story was completely different and unique. The cast did such an amazing job with portraying the characters and the costumes were awesome as well.
When it comes to comedy it was indeed very funny and hilarious. I especially liked the pirate guy who went to the bandits and was telling them about sea creatures and they have never believed him. xD
Amazing movie, definitely worth the hype. I'm very much looking forward to the 2021 sequel.

And I wasn't dissappointed at all! The story was awesome in my opinion with many plot twists and parts that I wasn't expecting.
I felt very sympathetic with the characters, especially the main four ones. I quickly came to like them and was rooting for them on their uneasy journey. The actors did a great job and I liked how diverse the cast was.
I highly recommend this movie!

It was interesting to see how the games were inspired by children's ones although some of them were better than others and two of the games seemed really boring to me as for a viewer.
The characters were realistic and I was really happy to see the Indian actor there who scored quite a major role in the drama!
I rate Squid Game 8/10. It left me with some unanswered questions and the latter games weren't that interesting but it was still a wild ride to watch in a good way.

Like many people before me had said, this drama didn't live up to its potential at all. There was something lacking, although I can't quite put my finger on it...I started this drama because of Park Min Young and she shone in the drama, majority of her outfits was amazing (some of them were quite ugly on the other hand) and I loved her character, how she was able to do so many things, it was nice to see her horse riding for example. And her character's relationships... idk, that was the lacking part, it wasn't even that much of a love triangle (which I appreciated) but there was something missing.
On the other hand, there was some things that positively stood out to me: the gay supporting character, Ji Ho's boss and his wife (they were the best, especially how he kept calling her "my Queen", honestly they were the best part about the drama), and I also loved how Sang Eun was the one, who proposed to Ji Ho, that was so cool. And Ji Ho's coworkers were funny and nice to watch. And it was nice to see a shy and introverted male lead.
My rating is 8.5/10 as I liked the themes I mentioned and also because I adore PMY so this review is slightly biased. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't probably even start drama with this synopsis/tags.

One of my favourite movies of all times. The story isn't very unique but I came to love the cinematography and the pace of the story. Both the female lead and the male lead were portrayed very well and realistic.
I honestly can't remember much of the OST but there was one sad song which hit me deep in the feels.
Definitely prepare your tissues if you're going to watch this movie. It's full of romantic and some comedic moments as well but overall it is a beautiful yet such a sad story of two people who keep meeting each other at wrong times of their lives.
Go and give this movie a chance and I guarantee that you won't be disappointed.

My most favourite character would be probably Chan, he was so youthful and full of energy and was like a ball of sunshine.
Sometimes the drama got a bit draggy but at the end I was glad that I watched it. Shin Hye Sun played her role so well and become one of my favourite Korean actresses thanks to this drama.

My first medical drama and I must say that I really liked this one as well. My favourite character would definitely be Park Shin Hye's role of the strong woman who managed to achieve her dream from high school to become one of the top neurosurgeons from the country. Her best friend was also a very nice character and I liked the subtle sapphicism of their relationship. Honestly the only thing I did not like about this drama was the age gap between the two main leads and the fact the the ml was attracted to the fl when she was still a minor and he was her teacher. :/ Was this review helpful to you?
The characters were portrayed as realistic and mature and I really liked how there were no misunderstandings between the main leads and no cringey jealousy scenes. I also really liked Im Hui (Eun Seob's little sister) as she was pretty funny but loved her brother very much.
The aesthetics of this drama were so pretty and it made me want to live in a countryside in a village like this and to have a club devoted to books as well. :3
