Do yourself a favor and Skip this
I loved the synopsis, I mean, time travel, alternate universes... that's what I signed up for and it started so well...1. It could have been wrapped up in 10 episodes
2. There is ZERO time travel
3. The story is way too complex for what could have been a great Rom-Com
4. What's with the hair/makeup? how does this fit in?
It's too bad because I liked the start, the actors were good but the story lost me, and the ending was also a letdown.
Very disappointed having invested 22+ hours into this mess

Such a letdown at the end....
I read all the reviews that said this was good until episode 17, well, it was correct !!While the story was "ok", I mean nothing really spectacular... the actors and their chemistry/ dynamics really carried this drama.
I love everything "Food" related and this in parts did not disappoint, but to be honest, this whole drama could have been shot in 12 episodes. Many episodes dragged and I had to fight not to fast forward through it.
You get good doses of noble idiocy which completely ruins the final episodes. Instead of feeling good, smile and enjoy you get annoyed, sad and confused... not the best of feelings when watching something that was so quirky in the beginning.
Can't give this more than 7 (although it really is a 6)

A great time
Didn't know what to expect as I did not read anything about this drama beforehand and I was happily surprised, the 10 episodes were just perfect. Not too long and just enough to tell the story. Nothing really angsty or dramatic happens here, it's all very lighthearted and cute with an ending triple bow-tied and satisfying.Actors were good and I found myself really enjoying the leads as well as a lot of other supporting casts. Well done

Not bad but I expected better
Sweet home was a lot more than I expected, and a lot less at the same time!I was expecting this to be a character based drama and I got a lot more action than I was expecting, and I loved it! Having said that, there were a lot of things they rushed, forgot or just decided to not talk about.
The story, while a 10/10 is nothing new, good Vs Evil, survival horror... we've seen this before. Human behavior in a fight-or-flight situation, how malicious people can be to survive = nothing new there. Cliffhangers at the end of episodes weren't even that angsty, but there is something about this drama that draws you in, gets you to want to watch the next episode!
I hope they can maintain this level for the second season

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.

Not a bad drama
I'm glad I did not let the negative reviewed sway me into giving this drama a pass.It's a good time, even without alcohol (joking).
The story was ok, leads also, and it's an easy watch without too much angst because even if some cliffhangers are nicely done, you can guess not much will really happen and no one is in real danger.
The romance was ok and it was all due to the ML and FL chemistry.
Thinking back, I think the story was told wrong, the back and forth in time was not made at the right time (or in the right episodes) so you start to understand the vision a bit later (I would have liked them to set up the premise and everything right from episode 1). Spend more time in Joseon instead of filling with some below-average side plots that were useless if I'm honest.
Still a good watch, but no rewatch value

A nice time, no alcohol required
This could have easily been a 10, but the whole message was a little of a letdown.I liked the actors, the story was good (not great) and they did an awesome job with the visuals. I think this will resonate with a lot of people in a world of internet stars and wannabe influencers, but what exactly was the real message here? or have I missed it?
I don't regret watching this drama, we enjoyed ourselves marathoning it in 2 days. Would I watch it again? not entirely but some parts were really good and I might give them another look in the future

This could have been so much better.... but a letdown in the end
I really liked the synopsis on Netflix and decided to give it a go. Didn't ready anything about the drama beforehand, no reviews, no comments... took a dive right in.I really enjoyed myself, this is a good time drama about love, friendship, the importance of family and that sometimes the good guys win.
OK, I concede that there isn't really a lot of drama here, no real angst, people stay in their lane and you can feel nothing bad or too dangerous is going to happen, in other words, a relaxed and good time.
Spoiled by a rushed ending that wasn't all that satisfying (to me anyways). When I invest 16 full hours into a drama, I don't want anything left to chance, I want my stories (main and side) wrapped up (positive or negative). Is that really too much to ask? I'm not asking for pink bow-tied rainbow endings, but a thorough last episode. This Drama did not give us that, leaving me hungry for more.
As a result, I deducted a full point.

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

Long movie and Average at best
Nothing and I mean nothing new here. 1000 times overdone.. the survival horror/zombie.They tried to do it well but failed by the end.
When a movie is 2 hours and feels like 4, you know you're not really entertained and captivated. They dragged some plots way too long and the ending? OMG some scenes were excruciating.
All that I'm going to say is that even if this is a zombie movie (ie: not real) an 8 legged shard is pushing it.
Did I have a nice time? Meh, average
Would I watch this again:? never ever.

A nice time
I see all the negative reviews and can't help but chuckle. What did you think you would get going into this drama?I was clear from the get go: I wanted a nice, not too deep, romantic series in a school environment. And that's exactly what I got.
Could they have wrapped up in 8 episodes? YES but they still managed to keep me pretty invested until the end. Are there things I did not like? SURE, but they did not spoil the drama for me.
If you liked My ID is Gangnam beauty, you will like this as well and should not pass it up.

Bad on all fronts
First, the story isn't for everyone. I did not like the underage aspect of it and my distaste started there.But this is a Rescue+revenge movie so let's see how it plays out right?
Wrong. Everything is made to "look" real but it isn't, overacted, exaggerated, forced and lame combat scenes. Very disappointing action (and acting).
Most of all, she didn't even beat the girls who started it all.
I did not think I would ever find a Korean piece (Movie or Drama) that could be worse than Forecast love and weather, well look no further: This is my new low and I was generous giving it a 2.
While I absolutely LOVED the short series "Little Girl K", I thought this would be somewhat similar: I was wrong.

Nice little Drama to pass time
I wasn't expecting this drama to be overly dramatic, and to make me think too much and .... it didn't.I was Good morning Ladies because that's exactly what I was here for.
The story we saw a million times, the office dynamics were predictable, but in the end, it was a nice and enjoyable drama without much anything happening.
It could have been wrapped up in half the episodes to be honest but they brought enough cute to fill the void.
Enjoyable drama but not one you will rewatch later on.

This could have been oh so much better
By now, we've seen so many FBI/CIA/NIS/Spy/Ghost movies and series that it's really hard to take this Drama seriously.They completely missed the mark here. It could have been so great if Everyone was completely oblivious that K was an agent (a ghost at that) and we (the viewers) were the only ones in-on-it... but no... Everyone and their mother in this drama knows NIS agents, ghost agents that are supposed to be "Secret" agents.
If this is fake then it's hard to sit through and believe the rest. The beginning had something, but it's all downhill from there and the ending isn't great either.
I should have dropped this by the middle (ep 7~8 ish) but like a fool I stuck to it only to be disappointed and regret having pushed through to the end. Oh well, win some and lose some.
