Started out nice but it dragged on and got a bit repetitive which kind of made me lose interest at the half. Also, the unrealistic topics studied did not add to the credibility.
I liked the cast, I really did but I could not really bring myself to really care about any of them so this made it difficult to sit through all 16 episodes.
The show was just a bit above average but I would not watch it again.

Average and disappointing
Maybe it's just me but I was expecting contestants to be competing and win on their intelligence and knowledge alone. Little did I know this was a show about making alliances, lying to win and stab people in the back.The games were good although not as strategic as I would have liked
Many of the people I did not like, both their attitude and fake crocodile tears
All in all, if I had to go back in time, I would skip this show, it's not worth my time... 12 hours I will not get back.

I enjoyed this Drama, but it could have been a 10
First, It has to be said that it is an adaptation from a webtoon, so sometimes things aren't going to be like they are in the real world.I really enjoyed the first episodes, it was a great setup to the story! and the following ones were also nicely done, engaging, you wanted to root for the characters.
You liked the ones you were supposed to like and disliked the ones you were supposed to. Main leads did a great job and the side characters happened to steal the spotlight some times (that's how good the actors portrayed them).
I was 100% with this drama until the last 2 episodes, and the worst of it being the finale! extra 30mn long and felt like a lifetime!
It did not fit the drama and the characters that were so good throughout 14 episodes. A bummer because it could have been so much better, but still a solid 7

An Interesting drama but a final letdown
The first episodes were gripping, you want to know these people, you root for the heroine, you are invested.And then.... everything changes, unfamiliar people, unfamiliar environment...
A jumble of sorts in the episodes. They tried to make it cool but in the end, even with 7 episodes, it felt too long.
quite a few irritating characters didn't help make this the great masterpiece a lot of people are saying this is.
IF, they would have stuck with the original cast, this would have been different (I grant you that) but a better success (in my eyes anyway).
I walk away from this with mixed feelings.... but still give it an above average rating because the first episodes were great

Predictable and oh so boring
The premise was great, ex profiler turned fake shaman to make money to uncover his friend's death.... and it all went downhill from there.I had to force myself to get through this drama, I even fast-forwarded some scenes as it was so boring.
Even the actors couldn't save this drama.
I usually take time before selecting a drama and many critics gave it a thumbs down but seeing the score and reviews here I was hopeful... Episode 1 was good, I was happy I decided to watch it and then episode 2 was average, 3 was below average, by episode 4 I already wished it was over. And it was a long drama. Could have been wrapped up in 6 episodes

Hits all the right spots
Here's a drama to binge watch with some warm tea and cold ice cream.If you take into consideration that it is based on a webtoon, they did a really good job, the cast is endearing, nothing really tragic happens, it's a very easy watch and guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
You can see all the plots, subplots coming a mile away, they hit all the possible cliches known to Dramaland and needless to say it's not my favourite type of drama, but it's such an easy watch, that I enjoyed it.

My tastes in drama are not common and I am totally fine with not “fitting in” the norm or being a “garden variety” watcher.
The story is very simple, 2 rich boys like poor girl, rich girl likes one of them, big show of haves and have nots, we’ve seen this before.
What is it that really captured my attention? The characters! How damaged they all are no matter how much money they have. Great backstories and character evolution, nice romance and a big kudos to the actors for making this work with such a weak plot.
I’m not crazy, but the 9/10 I give it is based on my feeling, I guess this will go as one of my guilty pleasures ?

Silly situations, not funny at all, people with the mental age of a teenager playing as spies, I think that pretty much sums it up.
There is not much more to say about this useless drama that I wish I could un-see and erase from my memory.
How did Joo Won accept to do this drama? He must have been sick the day they handed out the script and someone played a trick and signed him in.
Avoid at all costs! Avoid at all costs! Avoid at all costs!

This show will not raise your pulse, it is very predictable, and sooooo sweet you will have to schedule an appointment with your dentist (tooth decay and all).
I really liked the drama and the dynamics between the two lead ladies, their friendship never wavered which showed how strong their bond.
This drama had a real gem! A gem so shiny it made me smile every-time he was on screen: Kim Shin Hyeok
He completely stole the show and outclassed all members of the cast. I would love a drama just based on that goofy character! Upright, wears his heart on his sleeve, very perceptive of what goes on around him, probably the smartest man in the room most times… I was really rooting for him and I regret we did not develop his arc more.
Thanks for the sweet time show! I really enjoyed myself.

It’s not that the actors did a bad job, there were some nice moments but the weak (or can we say Lazy?) writing sent this ship sinking down faster than the titanic. Leads lacked chemistry also I think.
And the ending? Smh… for a musical Drama, where was the Finale performance? Or maybe this was cut by the production? The only thing that comes to mind is Lazy execution of what could have been a great drama. Shame.

While there are parts I really enjoyed, equal parts frustrated me and then rest just plain bored me.
I really enjoyed the first Dream High so obviously my expectations were high for this second season but, somehow I was left unsatisfied.
I liked the cast, they were nice but did not hit me in the heart as the ones in the first version did. Once the heart is half in half out, it’s difficult to care and makes for a less enjoyable experience.
I am sure many will enjoy it, I’m 50/50 on this one.
Love Kang So Ra and Jung Ji Woon though ?

The only thing that comes to mind: Frustration; and boy did this show frustrate me!
I really struggled to keep up with all the Paranormal turns and twists, and friends I talked to about it was also having trouble grasping the plot.
Choong Hoon told to him that he was taken by time so his life can be saved… … save from what? ¯\_(?)_/¯
Park Min Young was great in this drama but that doesn't justify you having to sit through 20 episode of this Fringe/Time Travel/Paranormal mess.

Yes, the story is simple and you want to root for the heroine (the show does a great job at that) but some parts are dragging and you feel like fast forwarding a lot of scenes.
For me, Daniel Choi completely stole the show! I will look for more dramas with him now. He made me laugh throughout the whole series. Jang Nara wasn’t bad either.
I would gladly re-watch all the scenes where Daniel is a goofball to lift up my mood.

The story was fresh and new, I liked the actors and the overall pace. Would I re-watch it again? maybe some parts I really enjoyed but probably not the whole thing.
The scheduler and rules of this drama were very well crafted and you could see how they affected not only the defunct lady but family/friends around her.
Time flies, and the message (I believe) is to not overthink things too much and live life to the fullest while you still can, because regret can be a horrible feeling.

Great message overall and feel good drama with no angst. Having said that, the last 2 episodes frustrated me at some parts. I had absolutely zero emotional stake in SooAh or that creepy sunbae from the beginning. I regret that we had to sit through such waste of valuable screen time to watch the redemption of SooAh (really?) and feel a bit robbed of more cute moments with the lead couple or KS’s time with sister or mom. MiRae's family (especially dad) I would have liked to see a lot more of.
Hyun Jung was also in my opinion not developed enough, she's the friend that always stood by MiRae, old or new face. I think she deserved a lot more screen than SooAh for example.
