I watched it from beginning to end and I found it enjoyable. If you’re looking for a lighthearted comedy, this one is worth the watch. If you’re looking for some romantic components, you’ll get multiple here. You’ll also get some action and some pretty interesting fighting moments. If you’re looking for something swoon worthy, you might not get a lot of it here but you’ll get some sweet moments. The ending was pleasant and I have nothing to complain about.

But I like most about the series with that it was lighthearted and it provided some pretty insightful relationship conversations. There were no crazy relatives and no overly ridiculous characters. In addition to that they were not low triangles which made it all the better for me. The progression moved at a really good pace. There was a good amount of humor, mystery and explanation amount of sweet moments between the main characters as well as the supporting cast. I also enjoy the fact that they’re supporting cast were able to get closure and good endings. I was able to laugh at some moments and he it wasn’t completely predictable, well a little but not completely. I enjoy the fact that the female lead was driven and hard-working and she was also very smart.

I definitely feel like it provided a good amount of entertainment. I also really liked the supporting cast. I enjoyed the funny elements of it, the sweet moments as well as the bits of action that took place. There were lots of teaching moments that were very relevant. They were really enjoyable. What I did not care for so much was the fact that the female lead was somewhat abusive. Yes I know many people will disagree with me or may even find the actions cute. I did not. I’m just being honest. As a female I will be honest and say I didn’t find it cute. I can honestly say that if the roles were reversed and the male was being aggressive toward the female lead like that I wouldn’t like that either. Aside from her being domineering and bits of aggressiveness towards the male lead I found it enjoyable. Sorry not sorry. I’m just not OK with people hitting people simply because they don’t agree.

Little Gem

Short and sweet. This was a mini series with very short episodes but it was really amazing. There were some scenes that I watched several times because it was just that funny. It is honestly a really cute and sweet series. There are a few heartfelt moments within it with tons of laughs. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for something short and sweet to watch especially if you’re in need of a good laugh. It was that good.

I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for something short and sweet to watch. You’re most certainly smile, swoon and laugh at the same time.

I really thought I would like this but I didn’t. Acting was okay but the story was just terrible. First of all it’s normal to be attracted to an attractive person but when you realize the status such as age and position (student) you should back up.

I understand they’re real ages are quite close but the portrayal (character) is not.

There is nothing cute about a teacher/ intern dating her student. To make matters worse we are given a mature, loving and kind 2ML and what does the FL do? Dates/ falls for her student instead. Just noooo.

Okay

First thing I want to say is yes we have two very popular leads. An amazing male either most of us love and will watch whatever these in because it’s him. The female lead has her talent as well but her variance in acting and personality pale compared to our male lead. However in this series both of them are exactly the same. The series is a melo drama which I didn’t expect. So I guess it’s my fault for not reading the synopsis.

The good: The scenery is great. The history of cast members is so captivating and it shows an innocent love and also shows how deep and sincere it was. There is not A significant amount of wicked people or extremely crazy people which is quite refreshing. The story is very unique and then it really makes you wonder what you would do if you were in that situation. Not only that, the situation that the leads are in is very complicated.

The bad: it really seems too slow, somewhat uneventful and sad. There were very few if any upbeat moments which leaves you with this sort of melancholy feeling. I think that when they smiled there was a slow piano tune being played while they speak in the background. You may get a scene or two where there may be joy but that is very very few and far in between. Slow-yes, sweet-only the past, romantic- only the past
Chemistry- the past.

I really wanted to like this. For the most part it’s decent. I just really did not expect it to be so slow. Although the two leads are great actors and actresses, I feel like their chemistry is just not there. I really expected a little more from these but this all seems to sum up to nothing. Most of the stuff is flash backs.

This series is for the mature audience. That’s not to say that it has graphic scenes or anything gory it’s just one of those slow and steady sentimental romance series. This series revolves around the past and the present. You will see a lot of flashbacks from our two leads in the past and their time together and then it will switch to the present. The past was soft, subtle and cute and the present was just as warm. Of course there is the conflict that makes things difficult but as always it pans out. I am pleased with the ending. I was a bit nervous because it really did seem like one of those really slow pace melodramatic romance series that has a bad ending but they gave a gratifying one considering the tone and the pace of the series. This is not a romantic comedy. This is not an upbeat series. This is not one of those witty plotting dramas either although there is some plotting and manipulation. It the piano playing in the background type of romance. Everything is done eloquently. You’ll get a kiss or peck in about 2 of the episodes.

Short, sweet and exciting. The series is one that focuses tai chi and those who are descendants of the clans along with their rivals.
The series starts out somewhat upbeat and seems to maintain its consistency throughout. It revolves around the martial arts community. Are two main leads are a female who has been taught a martial arts outside of a particular client in the male lead who appears to be a descendent of the clan. Without revealing too much about series The series starts out somewhat upbeat and seems to maintain its consistency throughout. It revolves around the martial arts community. Our two main leads are a female who has been taught a martial arts outside of a particular clan in the male lead who appears to be a descendent of the clan. Without revealing too much about the series I wouldI will say that a form of a relationship develops and they both begin to grow.
The fights in this series are amazing. One scene I watched at least 4 times. The community dynamic is so so. There are some bonds, betrayal, secrets and twist. Overall it was worth it to watch. Although the series has been categorized as youth/school, the martial arts piece is superb. If you’re looking for a martial art series to watch I would recommend this. It doesn’t go in-depth in terms of showing teaching concepts but you get to see some cool things.
What I didn’t like about this it was that the male lead seem to only have one facial expression and he just appeared really rigid, almost like a computer. He was skilled but he just didn’t appear relaxed in any scene.

Nothing original. It was nice, sweet and funny at times. Time travel series with minimal drama. There is a bit of internal struggle but not to over the top. The main leads have a pretty decent chemistry. There’s a plot twist that is a little touching and heartwarming.

Series revolves around a ml that can time travel and the fl who he realizes shares a connecting. The relationships was not immediate but it does seems to move a little fast. No crazy in-laws. One greedy cast member and plotting. The rest is somewhat of a mystery. Things do get solved but not all questions are answered. Pleasant ending.

It is very rare that I write a review of a series before it has completed but I feel compelled to do so because of some of the mixed feelings that I have as well as a lot of the comments that I view regularly while I am watching this series. I have watched 25 of the episodes.

I believe that the series is well written and that the acting, wardrobe as well as the scenery and graphics are amazing. I really love the concept of two individuals from what is supposedly the opposite side of the tracks developing a genuine love, sincerity or friendship for one another. I have not been a huge fan of the ML in the past because of one of the series that I watched him in and I just felt like his character was just like too much for me, so I was hesitant to watch this but I have developed a new found love for the ML because he has really shown great acting skills throughout this series.

What I like most about the series is that the ML has really portrayed his character well in every aspect, the good side, the bad side, the protective side, the caring side, the daring as well as bold and fearless. He has really portrayed them all really well. I am also a huge fan of fantasy historical dramas, so this really plays into the genre that I gravitate to. There’s some excellent fighting/power scenes that will make you really want to rewind it and watch it again and there are some heartbreaking scenes in which you see how some of the individuals background and hardships that they went through. I think that they did a really great job giving us a full view of who the male lead was. I really enjoyed watching his scenes and learning about who he was and why he is the way his to who he is right now. It’s amazing.

What I did not like about this series unfortunately was the female leads character. I know many people will disagree but it’s my opinion right. I feel that the writers gave her too many annoying habits/traits that were hard to digest together.
Writers have taken that naïve and innocent character way too far and it teeters on the line of sheer stupidity. I honestly did not like it.
#1The female characters voice sounded like a eight or nine-year-old the entire time. If it was just that I would’ve been able to tolerate it a little better.
#2 they also made her character really naïve and at times completely clueless, borderline stupid. I just don’t think that crap is cute. And I don’t mean the naïve kind like Ji Mi from ashes of love, I mean this was another level.
#3 her character was one that seem to completely be infatuated with the 2ML because he saved her. Because of this she seems to lose all sense of reason.
#4 she constantly got into things that made it appear that she had no survival instinct at all. Who goes to reason with someone that was just trying to kill you and had you tied up.
#5 because of all of these it made it really hard for me to view her and the ML in a more romantic relationship because her character just seems like someone that was 12 years old, unrealistic and that quite honestly needed to be supervised because she’s clueless. She is absolutely cute but those looks can only take you so far.

The action in the series is really good. There are not a significant amount of side relationships throughout the series but there are a few that have significance to the story. In the beginning there’s a lot of screen time but as we got to the middle it kind of dwindled and then they just popped up again. Up to episode 25 the FL is still not gelling well with the ML. She is not sincere, or honest towards him. But she is able to see that he is a person other than what others portray him to be. No budding relationships just yet but the chemistry is okay.

Missed opportunity

I was so hopeful but I can’t say I loved this one and I’m a fan of both of the leads. I like the idea of a smart career woman being dedicated and good at what she does. I love a man that follows his path as well. That being said our two leads were academically and business smart but had the social/relationship competency of 12 year olds (not cute or entertaining).


The cons: misunderstandings lasted until episode 31; direct communication was very poor, they talked more in their head than directly to each other. They texted more than they talked. I’ve never seen so much screen time on screen. It lasted until the end. The relationship remained undefined for so long and then when it was, it was a break in it.
I ML was suppose to be domineering business man but it didn’t seem to fit or maybe it was just that he never lightens up. Usually you see a change, it kept it going.

I so wonder what it would have been like, it they spoke a quarter of their internal thoughts that the viewers heard. It could have made it much better.

I can accept a misunderstanding but I hate when it’s dragged out and poor communication. Although we’d all love a smooth sailing romance, I don’t think I could say there were any swoon worthy moments. I think I got whiplash.

Sweetness

Series revolves around a girl with an ability and her desire to free herself from the confines of the world she was caged in. How she was raised to use it versus how she chose to use it was absolutely beautiful.

I really enjoyed this. It starts off with a really good pace and it continued to develop in a way that allows the characters grow. There were very few moments where I felt the need to fast forward. I absolutely enjoyed watching the lead interact as well as how their relationships develop. Although it is fictional the progression of the relationship and the realistic elements of it were relatable.

This one kept me on my toes. The way the FL interacted with others and how she blossomed into her person was amazing. I loved how she became someone that everyone loved.

There was action, romance, comedy, drama and some heartfelt moments. Chemistry was very present along with my beloved happy ending.


Definitely a rewatch.

A Gem

Reporter and fireman worlds collide for a sweet heartfelt romance. Not flashy. Not over the top. More like that love that can break down walls type. This series was truly amazing. I have seen mini series with both of the leads in it and they were different genres, but they were enjoyable. I believe that this is by far one of the best series that I have seen these two in. They’re acting was amazing, realistic, and it just felt really genuine. What I really enjoyed about this series was that there was no ridiculous love triangle, or supremely immature cast. Our FL was a little younger but she was very mature. Her pursuit of her love interests was refreshing. She was bold, confident and professional while also being innocently cute when it came to her love. There was no immature characters in this drama. Although it was somewhat slow paced in some ways, it was still relatively upbeat. The parts that were somewhat slow were during the intimate communication, but It was so sweet and heartfelt that it was really hard not to wanna catch every moment. I didn’t feel the need to fast forward this. The supporting cast were just as good as the lead, and they brought their own vibe to this series is well. You will absolutely get attached to the main leads as well as the supporting her. I know it sounds hard to be, but you’ll become invested in the supporting characters too. You have firefighters, rescue workers come together in this down to earth romance. Loved it.

This was an exceptional series. I loved the build up. The acting was amazing. The crying scenes made me want to cry too.

Series was about a woman who encountered hardship and how she moved forward to rebuild her life. Of course we have our ML who comes into play. His character had a friendly and bubbly personality that could most,likely get along with anyone but he was also one that wanted independence. These two came together and t was sincerely sweet and heartfelt.

The chemistry between the leads showed up heavily. I would like to say that karma as well, but it more like reality than regret. It was still very good.

Interesting

First, I love the mystery components of the series. It played out well.
Series revolves around a woman and her husband. She married him without knowing he was a man that wanted a model wife, and that he was manipulative.

On another note, it’s definitely exaggerated. From what I saw he didn’t actually commit a crime other than a fake attack. Why they called the police is beyond me. The series want us to assume that a man that wanted a woman who had more and was more wife material, is criminal. He didn’t appear to be a gold digger. He did however show controlling and manipulative habits (still not a crime). He dumped a woman b/c he thought he found something better. She didn’t take it well. Still not a crime. Maybe he was serial dater. Didn’t see that either! Women have done what he did but no one call in the police troops.

I did find the way that the woman was easily manipulated into obedience interesting. I believe that it fits into how things happen to some people in real life.

Needless to say, I don’t get it. It was interesting to watch though 🤷🏽‍♀️

Exciting

I don’t regret watching this. I’ll admit, I was hesitant because some reviews mentioned inces(brother and sister relationship) however, that didn’t actually happened. This is definitely one the first jdramas I’ve watched that had a twist like this. I loved that the female lead wasn’t a complete idiot unlike many jdrama characters. The internal conflict felt so real. Each cast did an amazing job portraying their character well as well as the anguish they felt. Overall a good series. Exciting and engaging.

Unique

As much as I wanted to love this, the writers were just to convincing, lol. I struggle to watch or endure anyone extremely greedy or selfish and the writers did a good job up front showing how money and possession can cause people to reveal how they really feel.

Overall series was pretty good. It was a bit slow paced but still nice. In summary, the series is about a sibling group who somehow manages to lose their father and stability overnight. Contrary to many drama with this starter, this on too, a different turn. The female lead didn’t walk about helpless, begging or waiting for a miracle she put her mind on surviving and got to work. She want extremely prideful but tried to have a sense of pride about herself. Loved that element. What you Lear from her character is how to push through, how to let others help, how to adapt and love. Very unique.

On the other side of this spectrum we have the have nots who suddenly grasp everything they didn’t have before. Their greed grew and it turn ugly.

The series reveals the good and the bad.

This series was strictly medical. Every episode had an extreme medical case and on some/most occasions you’ll get a sad story with it. Some outrageous stuff, some heartfelt stuff. I must say I’m not a fan of this one but if your into medical stuff, you’ll like it although it wasn’t varied.

On another note, whoever tagged this romance was stretching very far. There were no real doctor couples, no romance only an interest and it took 39 episodes and that seemed to last 30 seconds.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes medical dramas but don’t go into this hoping for romance or dating of any kind. It’s not there.
