SWEET SALTY AND SOUR

I watched this drama years ago when it first came out I just didn't make a review so ill make one now. I loved this drama to the point where I watched all 16 episodes every day for a week, the main reason why I loved this drama is the romance and the chemistry between the main leads but as much as I love this drama it is quite cringy and not realistic in the way that she can just lift a whole ass car with like one hand however although this drama is cringe it has its dark side that honestly really scared me( yes I do have anxiety and I am extremely paranoid so bare that in mind when I say this). There is Sa and kidnapping in this drama and those scenes are fucking creepy. I would recommend this drama if you want something sweet but creepy but comedic at the same time.

While I make this review I try to be as non basis as possible as the main actress is one of my fav actresses and this drama is extremely nostalgic to me so I will probably feel differently from you but when I first watched this drama I would've 100% rated this a ten but I think as I experience more dramas I have higher expectation anyway uh watch it if you want....

Iconic

This is just a comedy masterpiece, I could not stop laughing. The bromance in this show was so satisfying, I love to see it. I have to admit, I always feel sorry for the second male lead because we can have the second male lead while the female lead can have the main guy. I think that’s the reason we have second male leads just for us😂😂😂😂😂 gosh, what am I saying- but anyways this was and will always be an iconic show!!! If no one has heard of this show, I would be very shocked, like how come you don’t know this!??!!???

Enjoyed and very funny

I really liked this show, I enjoyed all the characters and I enjoyed the romance between the main couple. The love triangle is nice, both options of men are good and I think they both have good qualities. This is a funny show and I laughed a lot at a bunch of jokes and episodes, I really liked the dynamic between all of the characters. the mystery the show adds too kept me on my toes, I didnt expect the crime part of this show at ALL, and it does it so well. i enjoyed the "bad guy" the most, it was so good and fun to watch and the stakes were just right. I cared about all the characters and would definitely recommend this show for someone wanting a good story with romance as Aish plot as well as a very nicely executed crime Bish plot, but the plots are balanced really well.

JUST AMAZING

HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST DRAMA IN HISTORY THAT I HAVE EVER LAID MY EYES TO WATCH! I recommend every one watch it. it was pretty good because i watched it when i first started watching dramas. I kinda hate romance shows that mid-way through, end up being a crime investigation. I get it if the show is about crime, but why mix romance and crime EVERY FXCKING TIME. idk i just got tired of it, but this show did a great job and the acting was pretty good from what o remember. I genuinely think they could have not casted any better people, though it's sad the actors behind the scenes. There are also so many ost's that i liked and still listen too today! I wish i could watch it for the first time again. Its cute and mysterious and keeps you on your toes. This is the show where i started to support park bo young! overall i loved it and recommend for new watchers and old too.

MỘT BỘ PHIM THÚ VỊ

Phim hay lắm luôn. Nói chung thì phim thuần về vấn đề giải trí hơn một chút, cũng vui vẻ hài hước lắm nhưng mà vụ án lồng ghép vào trong phim thực sự cũng rất cuốn, xem mà thỉnh thoảng mình hồi hộp lắm luôn. Chemistry của cặp chính ta nói nó thật hơn cả chữ thật, xem mà quắn quéo, họ yêu nhau nhưng người hạnh phúc là mình. Xem phim hơi quạo vì thái độ của mẹ nữ chính với bả nhưng mà không sao sau này bả sẽ hiểu. Nam phụ kiểu mới vào nghề nên diễn sượng trân đơ lắm (giờ chắc ổng ngừng hoạt động nghệ thuật luôn vì scandal cá nhân rồi). Nói chung phim ổn nha.

Personally I loved this drama, usually it's hard to get me to laugh but during this I was laughing every time. It has some very interesting takes showing you things you've probably never seen in a show before which is great especially if you get the kind of gags they are trying to tell. All the characters were v cute and likable especially the love triangle will make you want to tear you hair out on who to ship. Honestly I was debating on actually dating Do Bong Soon myself. The soundtrack is definitely not one to miss and it's the same with just little sound effects they used during the scenes that you probably won't forget. In a whole, it's the best thing I have had the pleasure of viewing this year and I highly recommend it. I hope you'd like it as much I did, peace.

Puppy face with lots of comedy

Its my first ever drama starring Park Bo Young, I am flabbergasted with her acting. My god the the role Do Bong Soon perfectly suits her. This drama is all about her only. The storyline is smooth without any unncessary crossovers.
The makeover of her character is epic. A cute, puppy face girl with msyterious power and her struggle to hide it. I loved this drama. It was very refreshing for me to watch it.

The drama itself is filled with comedy, I mean a lot comedy. You will not regret watching any episode. The support character are hillarious. Espescially the gang members, they will make you laugh all the time. I don't know what to add more this drama is worth watching. Romance is overflowing here with losts of cute moments. Also this drama has dark thriller arc of the kidnapper which makes this more hillarious to watch.

Park Hyung Sik, an amzing role. As a CEO and also as a man who decides to help a women with strange power and ends up falling for her.
Shim Hye Jin(a mother who everyone wants), what a comedic character with open heart.
Kim Won Hae (double role), gives a pure comedy experience.
And lots of lovable character.

You can enjoy this drama as a happy reward. 2-3 episodes during day break. Totally worth it. OST are also good.
A perfect for rewatch in future.

Fun, crazy, over-the-top, cutesy romance, crime, superhero action, girl power story. The show is a mashing together of many different types of stories.The main reason to watch it is that it is the cutest, swoony-est romance that I have seen in a long time -maybe even ever. The couple is so adorable. The 3 main leads are all really good. Ahn Min Hyeok especially is so cute when he is acting all goo goo over Bong Soon and their PDA scenes are really amusing. It's hilarious to watch. The romance is really cutesy but it grows and deepens into something really touching as the story progresses.

Then there is the dark serial killer storyline that is not that different in tone than an episode of SVU. It adds some drama and danger to the main romantic storyline. There is the fun superhero action story aspect where you get to see a girl getting the best of everyone and being the main hero instead of the guys. There is the slapstick gangster storyline which was funny sometimes, but sometimes not so much.

It can be a jarring mashup, but overall it is a fun show if you don't take it too seriously. If you have a low tolerance for a slightly overactive plot, slapstick humor or dark crime you might not like it. But I loved it and looked forward to each episode. It's the funnest most romantic show I've seen in awhile.

Great chemistry between ML and FL

I don't have a lot to say about this drama except that it should be watched just for ML and FL. They had amazing chemistry, romance, kissing, you name it. This was also because Park Hyung Sik had a crush on Park Bo Young while filming, so his real life feelings spilled into his acting. Amazing job.

Everything else was pretty much forgettable. I ended up skipping through the scenes with the parents, gangsters, high school kids. They were not interesting and felt more like fillers than part of the actual story. Even the villain was kind of disappointing because the writers did not really develop him. He had no backstory and his motivations were kind of just doing bad things for the sake of doing bad things, kidnapping just to see his victims suffer, and that's it. He was a one dimensional personality with no substance. However, the actor who played the kidnapper was very handsome and I wish he was cast as a hero in main roles.

Light

It is a light drama with good casting. The cast is really the highlight of the show. There is chemistry among the 3 leads especially Park Bo-young and Park Hyunsik. The spark between Park Boyoung and Park Hyunsik is truly great and natural.It is a romance-comedy drama that is enjoyable to watch.

However, this Korean drama is really a 2016 drama that is suitable for its time.

This is a prequel of the 2023 series Strong Woman Kang Nam Soon. Let's see if the third installment will do as great as these two.

It is the kind of drama...

It is the king of drama that if you like it your love it and if you don't you start up give it a D- grade. The story was okay, predictable and sometimes slow but overall it was nice the auirky romance of our leads was awesome the only thing that made you stick through this series was the romance and comedy.

I must say that the thriller was definitely not one of the points to watch the story but the romance made up for that and before you know it boom 5 episodes are just swept away.

One of the best things was that the story never lost its focus from our female lead and had a pretty satisfying end but the villian was a drag it was gripping at the start but towards the end it was unbearable I mostly skipped all the scenes of the villian.

So in conclusion it is a pretty good story you will easily get swept by the leads and just to see them together you will complete the whole series a 100% garuntee
