Great story!

This is a short drama, but it somehow relayed more story than the 35min x 8eps allowed, with still enough time for flashbacks and bloopers at the end of the last episode. I enjoyed it thoroughly, with my only complaints being that 1) the school bully is 38yrs old irl, and looks it, 2) the adult versions of the ML's look too dissimilar to their high school selves, and 3) the psychiatrist should have had a brighter personality. I had to suspend belief on those matters. Other than that, everything was "gucci" in my opinion. Even the pseudo-supernatural parts have a basis in reality, whether it be actual physical reactions that science has yet to explain, or simply psychological results from changes in the body. (Here I refer to menstrual theft as well as cellular memory. Because hormones make us do crazy things, and genetic/ancestral memory is a thing, so why not cellular memory?)

Despite these things, the drama itself was an immersive, emotional, and overall feel-good story. I didn't even hate the bully as much as I should have, as it seemed to me that he had a depth that was left unexplored. But nothing is perfect, in dramas or in real life, and things aren't always what they seem or what we think they should be. I think that the actors played their characters well, and I liked that the drama didn't have abusive parents or teachers, and the friendships/relationships between the characters were real. Especially the grandma. They boys' love for her made me smile.

I loved this drama and I highly recommend it!

SUPER LOVELY

This drama is fantastic, just as everyone has stated, LYX and BL nailed it. I am smitten with the couple and their chemistry ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Story-10/10
This was a well-written drama with a sweet, strong beginning and a wonderful conclusion. You'll have a good time watching this light, lovely drama that will make you smile and giggle most of the time. It's true, ayee!

In terms of acting/casting, I give it a 10/10.
Their chemistry is just perfect for one another. Most of the time, I thought that they were a real couple, haha. I would give them a 100/10.

Music-9.5/10
It was good, a nice melody and sounded sweet catchy, but it was a little repetitive at times. In spite of that, I'm okay with it

I would rate this rewatch as a 10/10
I'm watching this for the second time and can't seem to move on haha.. There is something really special about this concept❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I wish I could watch their drama again in 2024, or at some point in the future, as I would really enjoy it.

You cannot deny that there is nothing sweeter than love.

Stupid FL

are all women so stupid?. Having been abandoned and having an affair, FL is still sad about the memories. from here I can say that no matter how bad you make a mistake women are easy to manipulate and lie to, you just have to make beautiful memories with her then if you make the wrong beautiful memories it will backfire on the woman herself and we men just need to apologize and approach him again then the woman will fall in love again. FL also doesn't have the stance that if you give money then accept the contract, nothing makes me more angry than this making me in a bad mood. I also watched several romance dramas, why are the stories only dedicated to women? like the love triangle of a woman being fought over by a man, isn't there another story like a pair of women and men who are in love as usual?? Romance dramas seem to be only for women.

If you know what you're getting into, either you'll watch and stick with it, or not watch at all.

I finished it!!... after reading through the comments and spoilers, and having nothing to watch, I decided to jump right in. As mentioned the first 11 episode were really, really hard to watch, but knowing their were some light at the tunnel, and my type of light too, I decided to just skip through unnecessary people and scenes, after around episode 13 or so, I didn't skip as much and did enjoy the latter part of the show, it still wasn't by any means "good", but decent enough if you have nothing else to watch, and you're okay skipping through some scenes and people until around episode 12.

It was mostly because of the FL, I didn't hate her and I wasn't quite annoyed, most people probably will be, but I was trying to be positive, she isn't a bad person, she's just righteously innocent and naive?!. She does have serious character development, so that's why I stuck through.

I did enjoy their romance a lot (when it did start), the acting, and OSTs the plot was the major issue here, the way they wrote the FL in the first half, and the way they wrote that one major anti-climatic scene haha.

The villains were all disturbingly disgusting tbh... where did they get the inspiration for these men? haha, they just kept getting worse. This one third-wheeler were way too obsess, he had some really funny scenes because of his nonsense, and it was not just the type of funny as in comedy, I was laughing "at" him!..

if you're able to withstand that, then by all means give it a try. Do I regret watching it? if I didn't know what I was getting into I would have, but I knew, so I don't I enjoyed the last episode.

It was hard deciding how to rate this, but i give an 8 because I knew what I was getting into, I liked the romance, the ending, the acting and the Ost's.

Probably One of the Top 10 For Me

Ah, this drama. I finished watching it for the 4th time this month, and it's never stopped making me laugh, cringe, and yell at my computer screen. This CEO x Worker drama has a good pace and enough comedy at the right times that it doesn't seem like they're forcing it. The romance is K-Drama level, not too spicy or too subtle that you don't have to feel awkward while watching it; quite the opposite, it nearly made me cry and my heart felt warm the whole time. The angst is little, to some's disappointment, although the story (kind of) makes up for it. As I said above, the pace is good and the story has a pretty good plot (after watching more and more K-Dramas with honestly a better story), and the music.... oh god, the music! Even after watching it four weeks later, I'll find myself singing it, and I don't even speak Korean! Overall, this drama is a must-watch for those looking for their first K-Drama. It will give you a great impression of the K-Drama world and it has given me a good laugh and I hope the same goes for you!

unsure about how I feel really!

i am usually a very strong lover or hater of a drama but I am super unsure about how I feel about this drama! I suspect I might be spoilt by Yanxi and Scarlet Heart so I constantly draw a comparison with how this was done.

Pros:

- I always like Wang An Yu and I didn’t feel much about Landy but I liked them both here! acting was great, the cuteness, sweetness, the seriousness and the tears were all great.

- NO ANGST between the main couple thank god. well, minimal, in that while FL was unsure about her feelings in the beginning, ML was always sure. and once they found each other, it was always them against the world. love it.

- Minimal angst between the sides in the fight for the throne, even if there was any, it was quickly resolved. (I’m a hater of misunderstandings and angst for no reason)

Cons

- how the f can the entire harem and politics be one handedly played by one woman who gets her happy f-ing ending in the end?????? and it was all because of her jealously????

- nobody really gets their just desserts ^ refer to above. maybe they want to stick close to history? but they already deviated at some points (i.e. missing out Yinxiang’s 10 years of confinement until Yongzheng took the throne) then just kill some people!!! like the 8th, 9th, 10th prince or the Consort De…? unsatisfying.

- I think I draw too much comparison with Yanxi and Scarlet Heart which are both longer than this so the history depiction is more accurate and also happens to be abit more serious. this has a less serious tone, so probably I’m nitpicking.

all in all, this is an ok watch, I like Wang An Yu and the cast, especially Kangxi. but there are definitely loopholes and wtf @ Minghui lol.

It was an okay watch

truth be told i think THEOM(Till The End Of The Moon) broke me like this c drama couldn't hit all the emotional notes i was hoping for don't get me wrong i did enjoy it but it was an okay watch. I don't want to write the wrong thing cause we all have our own perspectives on things and the last thing i wanna do is make someone turn away from a show they will enjoy. So it does end in tragedy but it doesn't leave a sour taste but the ending seems opening ending cause FL is there in the mortal world. I enjoy tragedy Let get that out of the way this may have looked like it ended in tragedy but not really because like i said the ML found FL in the mortal world. Which is why i said it was an okay watch. i like a good tragedy but this couldn't make it don't get me wrong the story, acting, and music were all good but honestly, i think THEOM broke me like i don't feel sad when watching this like Jesus i was ready to get my tissues but my eyes just got watery no tear much less tears drop. I feel like this was a comedy because it did get me to crack up anytime is see Bai Xiao Sheng(Riley Wang) scenes he is the comic relief.

The Most Heartwarming Season...

Being someone who has watched all the seasons, this season was the most heartwarming I must say.
All the members were unique in their own way but for me the ones who stood out in this season were Shin Ahyoung (cutest), Oh Hyunmin (the youngest but the smartest) and ofcourse Jang Dongmin (the most entertaining personality).
The games were as usual very amusing and clever. I loved all the episodes especially the finale, their interview was so touching that I almost cried T_T
I could see friendships, bonds and sacrifices. There were losses, guilt and betrayals as well. I admire the ones who were willing to take responsibility even though it was the fault of the situation.
I like this season the most because there were several life lessons which I learned from every player. I would definitley suggest everyone to watch it and enjoy it to the fullest.

as someone whose a huge fan of the novel series

I actually saw this drama first a year ago maybe
..
I don't even remember how I came across this story... I was just looking to watch something to kill my Time so I ended up watch the anime version of this and later the whole novel series upto the 3rd book and a few chapters here and there of 4th and 5th book ...
So as a huge fun I definitely had quite a few expectations from this but was sadly disappointed not much tho I did watch the whole thing from start till finish but definitely won't re-watch since it's so long ...
the anime had a lot of details and beautiful setting .. it makes sense the show was not able to match that level as it would require huge amount of money probably... so I was initially ok with that but as a fan I definitely expected some set to match with the animated version but unfortunately it did not and then we have the changed storyline...like his background..his past life .. I definitely would have loved if they kept it but instead it was some idk magic book types which gave him knowledge on his mechanical weapons..
the casting was not bad and this was definitely the show that made me a fan of the ml xiao zhan ..
Ig the overall acting could have been better maybe?
in the novel as well as anime the fl was sure a little childish but that's because she was a child they were probably hardly 14 .. but the actors are definitely older than the characters they r supposed to portray

Good fun with the two leads, good suspense with the thriller

1/ WHAT I LIKED:
- The interplay between the ML kidnapper and the FL/Kidnapped girl. They are very funny together and their relationship starts on a very wrong foot, but they slowly develop a close relationship, some kind of affection for each other.
- The story. I did not expect it to include these subjects and themes: research and ethical science, international gangsters, family rivalry, abuse of children... The mix was coherent enough to make it interesting all along.
- The cops’ part: Good cops were not too ridiculous this time.
- The abducted girl: she is very smart, but she is so impertinent and mocking too. A phenomenon.
- Main bad guy Jackson: He is so annoying, but his demise is so satisfactory.

2/ WHAT I DID NOT LIKE
- A lot of characters are involved, and the pace is fast. The viewer must keep track of the many characters who they are and what they did, or it becomes confusing with far-fetched relationships.
- ML: I found him a funny, kind, courageous and dedicated guy to the persons he loves, I also found his goofy antics a little bit annoying at times. I put him in this category because in the end, I think he has a responsibility in what happened. Why he saw nothing?
- The culprit's identity is a surprise but also not a surprise. The final was drippling of good feelings, and it made me uneasy. There is a culprit but a lot of people responsible people.

3/OVERALL
Honestly, I watched this drama week in week out until ep 7 and put it on hold because things were messy for me. Then I binged watched the remaining eps. Maybe it had a consequence on how I see this drama. It is good with a good story, good suspense, fun and emotional moments between the two leads. It is entertaining overall. 8.5/10

A story that could have been really interesting but GMM falls into its eternal flaws

The basic idea was good: class struggles, privileges for the rich, debt management, inequality. A romance between a rich teenager and a poor one is interesting. Alas, as soon as the romance begins (in a totally unexplained way, by the way), we plunge into a rather inconsistent high-school crush, very poorly served by rather average acting. For once, the age difference between the actors and their characters isn't too much of a handicap.

The rare moments of action aren't enough to save the series from the banality into which it's sinking. It's not a bad show to watch, but its lack of originality leads straight into a predictable tedium.

When I stopped wanting to know what was going to happen next, I told myself I'd better give up.

Really good chemistry between TY and YH

I started watching this because of Neo and I didn't regreted it. They had such a good chemistry throught the drama.

The drama overall had a good storyline, wasn't boring and exciting. Loved the OST. Both main characters had a miserable life and I felt sad for both. I laughed so hard in this drama and it was a rom-com drama to watch after work. Loved BXS jokes and his matchmaking thorught the drama. Although he didn't get together with YH he was still happy. As for TY he got a bit sad ending when YH passed away but at the end she appears which means she didn't die. Loved the couples XG x FQS. HXY and ZL bickering thorught the drama but became a couple at the ending is just so cute. As for SY...she was annyoing for me all the time.
I was so happy that every couple got a happy ending.
