Reviews

The series is fun, it's a nice storyline and a short series, but it did get to the point. The actors were good and I loved the teacher. The leads had good chemistry. It was a nice refreshing take on falling in love through a school project. It was a nice touch to put a little action with the stalker moment, I mean it's been done but it was nicely done. It does have fluffy moments and the leads make you laugh and cry especially at the end. It did a good job in telling and taking on through the storyline on a fast 7 episode drama, but it did work out nicely. I like that it kept a good flow and showed the growth of the characters all dealing with the issues. Its totally a cute short series to enjoy.

There is not any healthy relationship there , not even one. All male leads are assholes.

Well to keep it short. I had some good expectations. And I got a big hot mess in return. The ML were really psycho and the Fl were doormats. The main ML was a stalker in the beginning and an asshole in the end. He was selfish and spoiled manchild. When she turned him down he started to act creepy. When he did something bad and hurt the FL , he just cried like a little bitch. He expected everything from her and did not offer anything in return. I dont even know how can people in the comments still considere his actions cute and lovely. He was a creep who thought he can own the female lead. Is this behavior normal in Asia ? As a man from Europe I cant comprehend this.

everyone has their own worst memories but that reason cannot justify us to commit a crime.

bagus si drama nya, yang nonton jadi lebih tau gimana perasaan si pelaku. ga cuma interogasi ttg kasus aja, tapi juga interogasi ttg masa lalu dia, knp dia bisa membunuh. nonton ini bikin naik darah banget lah. apalagi waktu pemvunuhnya itu bilang kl dia ngelakuin itu cuma karena ingin. bajingan kali. Tapi pelaku” nya ditangkap ga sesuai bayangan ku gitu. yang kasus topi merah, kayak ga nyangka tiba tiba ketangkap gitu, kayak kelihatan mudah. aku mikir kayak udah gitu aja dan di kasus kasus lain jg yg kayak cpt banget ditangkapnya. mungkin karena emang mau lebih fokus nyeritain perilaku si psiko nya kali ya. jadi ga terlalu fokus sama cara nangkapnya. okelah drama ini, awalnya agak lambat karena baru mungkin tetapi makin lama makin cepat dapet profil tersangkanya. aku searching pelaku yg sbnrnya dan pelakunya mirip vibesnya sama pelaku yang ada di drama. gilasi hebat bgt milihnya. accent si pelaku pun bnr bnr diikutin.

Average story but great acting

Plot is not something new, but both leads have great chemistry which makes it fun to watch, but the age gap (17 year old/MINOR with 23 year old) does make me uncomfortably to an extent - and its what I find A LOT of people are brushing off lol

Age aside and story aside, the cast does a wondful job is saving this drama to the point I’m kicking my feet and giggling during romance scenes.

I have only watched 9/13 as of writing this and episode 9 made me very frustrated with how they decided to add in memory lost on top of having Bai Zong Yi get a brain injury - could have went a different route.

Doormat of an FL

After watching this have to say that the character of the FL is written to be a doormat with no spine and no brains too. Imagine going to meet a psychopath by yourself with no fighting skills or any strategy because she wants to catch him….oh lord and what’s with the childish high pitched voice and infantile mannerisms can’t believe that Netflix picked up this garbage of a script and is planning to increase monthly subscriptions too so that we can watch such incoherent stories ! The script was all over the place and most of the characters like the vile bitchy co workers and the ML’s father were so infuriating that I ended up forwarding anytime they appeared onscreen. Only saving grace was the hunky ML for his visuals . Car crash of a series! Watch at your own risk.

AN UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE!

I never rated any drama 10/10 before but for this i had to BECAUSE IT DESERVES THE 10 POINT. The whole drama was so fascinating to me, a roller coaster ride -- i dont belive i set straight 10 hours on my screen and finished the whole drama in one go (thanks to my phones charge too it helped me finishing the series in one go hehe)
The first thing i liked about this drama was how Ayaka's character has been written . She is a determined, ambitious women , who never wanted to become the best of all but just a person who gets the recognition and the praise she deserves from her job although she's a troublemaker yet she wanted to be the better version of her in every possible way.
-
Now how would you react if you suddenly switch to a criminal whom you always wanted to arrest which can help you prove your worthy to others..i always wondered this thing while watching the series how would you have reacted if your body had switched instead of her.
She always fell down and got up and fell down and got up again and eventually become the better version of her after going through so many circumstances , at times she felt miserable but she also wanted to be the same old herself doesn't matter even it was the same troublemaker her... but slowly slowly when time kept passing and her soul being inside Haruto's body she also started getting to know about his past...i honestly dont pity him, no matter how a person is his brother was he shouldn't have helped him in his crimes, him being pity about his struggles and helping him in crimes just dont justify anything , okay he was sorry for him and wanted to anything for him to repay him WHY HIS ACCOMPLISH IN CRIMES? there could be any way but not that NO NAH NEVER.
anyway all the actors did penonomal job and were very amazing too not to forgot sexual -hara? that one neighbourhood aunty in every drama , but surprisingly he wasn't annoying to me, they tried to show the another side of police officers who gives bribery to eye witnesses and take informations from them illegally. he just wanted to remain the top guy in his batch??
-
Yamaka and Riku are such sweet hearts i swr i have only good words for them i hope to get a partner at work like Yamaka-san and a freeloader like Riku, if its riku then i won't mind having him being the freeloader in my house lmaoo??
all over i really really loved the drama ah yes the only thing i didn't liked that our leads never had any romantic angle not even a single hug they left me high and dry till the end? yet i shipped them so badly?‍?



A 10/10 for me!!!

Amazing story and series

This series was amazing, I love the actors and storyline. Amazing chemistry with all the staff. It has everything you wanting a BL series to have. This series has it all love, hate, jealousy, revenge, friendship and family. This was one of the best series in a long time. Totally deserve 10 stars. I laughed and cried. I have missed series like this that can catcher your heart. I only wish it was longer and not the end of the series, makes you only want more. All three series had done an amazing job telling everyone's story showing amazing growth and development. A true beauty of actors and storyline mashed up greatly. ❤️

Kocchi Muite yo Mukai-kun left me wanting more.

Like so many RomCom J-dramas that have come before it, Kocchi Muite yo Mukai-kun chooses to deny its viewers a romantic climax to the "will they/won't they" flirtations of the two main romantic protagonists. I really enjoyed seeing the differing viewpoints and hearing the inner monologues that added both clarity and a comedic element to seeing the two sides to each of the romantic interactions between the various couplings. Japanese writers seem enamored with these open ended conclusions to romantic storylines, but I feel that they're simply disappointing viewers that have invested their precious time in watching and hoping for a more conclusive finale to the story. In the end, the stylistic choice to do so comes off as cowardly and lazy. I really enjoyed these characters and I found the portrayal of different individuals' perceptions of relationships and fulfillment, engaging and interesting. Unfortunately, the final episode left me disappointed and wanting closure.

Respect to the Firefighters!!!

Firstly let me start by saying the I salute all firefighters, if they go by what i saw hats off to them.

I liked the series, mainly for Yang Yang, and he did look good in uniform.

I loved how the series just went straight into it, and they never dragged on the past, accept for a few back story line which they did jump too, but it was nice and short and they did not stay too long or dwell in the past.

The doctors were also played they part well, and they did make it look like they knew what they were doing in terms of the doctor roles, qin qin was a bit annoying in certain episodes, especially at the parts where she knew what her mother was doing was wrong, but she was too timid to say anything. Wow talk about a controlling parents, esp that mom, holy hell, she was something else, the 1 part that kind of hit nerve with me, was when her son got arrested and the comment or line she said, money can be everything or nothing can be resolved without a price, I guess for the super rich that would really be the case, and it does hit a nerve, watching a lot of rich people buy the way through life and have no sense of obligations for others.

The firefighters role was really pleasing to watch, and the training they have to endure, for risking there lives in order to save a stranger, who in the end will probably not be thankful. the scenes in which the firefighters showed cased were really good, and look realistic, I think the most heartwarming or tough episodes to watch was ep 39 when the typhoon hit, and it made more grateful then anything that my country does not see those kind of disasters.

Overall : This drama was really good and of course i love Yang yang, and he really good and well matched in this drama.

Korean remake of Turkish show

This show is actually a remake of a Turkish show called Kalp Atisi (Heartbeat). I think the reason why the Korean remake is so good during the first few episodes is it's actually identical to the first few episodes of the Turkish version. The Turkish show itself was actually very good and unlike the Korean remake did not make me drop it after a couple of episodes. Although the Turkish version's plot does die down towards the later or second season it was actually still very good. Personally, if you think the plot sounds good then I recommend watching the Turkish version over the Korean remake. It'll make for a much more thorough story and also the growth of the characters is more well depicted.

I love Wang Xuan since coming across him in Who Rules the World. He acts well and he has this different kind of charm but this project isn't for him. The FL ruined this series for me. It would have been good at least if she portrayed the character better. The director worked hard to make this humorous but it backfired due to the Female Lead not fitted for comedic role.

The bulk of my rating is meant for Wang Xuan and the production staff for their hard work. Scene set is beautifully done and wardrobe is good.

If there is a separate rating for Female Lead, and director, it would be 2 for the effort.

Rewatch value is zero for me. I don't recommend this series to be worth the subscription fee but if you can watchvit for free then it can be a time filler while waiting for a good one to air.
