My Man Is Cupid (2023)

Star-crossed lovers with a bad writing :)))

This drama started quite ok. A fantasy-themed drama about reincarnated lovers who didn't recognize each other at first, but there was a catch. One of them was a cupid and they were ill-fated, as they had no red thread of fate connecting them.

The leads had a cute relationship BUT this drama has very faulty writing. the authors need to practice before making a drama. the story was all over the place and the criminal had a way of dealing with everything quite easily. The character development was also pointless for some characters.

ALso, 16 episodes made this drama draggy and filler. i personally watched it for the lead's love and chemistry. They were so good together.

The OST used is very beautiful. also, the scenery and locations shown are very enchanting.

Overall, a very average romantic drama.

ONE OF THE BEST DRAMA!!

at first i was kinda underestimate this drama, especially the ML (sorry Dongyoon 😭). but it was like the universe wanted me to watch this drama, i finally gave in and try to watch it.

again, Nana is unbelievable. the gurl is beautiful, its crazy. and after i finally realize that Dongyoon is a looker too!!!!!

for the first few episodes, it was all fun and laughs, i love it. and then the plot thickens. it was like watching this thriller murder mysterious movie.

tbh, i like the later episodes better because, again, i’m not really into this afterlife and reincarnated things. but overall, it was worth to watch!

Emotional ride infused with humor and unnecessary crime mystery

A tale entwined with themes of love, sacrifice, fate, miracles, courage, and opportunities with a fantasy element.
Initially I relegated it to the bottom of my watchlist presuming it to be another run-of-the-mill fantasy kdrama but that changed quickly when I learnt Nana was the FL (love her <3)
The main plot, marked by a strong love triangle and multiple reincarnations resonates emotionally, while a drawn-out and less mysterious crime subplot and lousy cops add some flaws. VFX initially subpar improved overtime. Personally didn't like the second lead couple's story as it felt like filler but their realistic end balances it out. Despite potential drawbacks, the series was immensely enjoyable for me. It brought out genuine laughter and left a lasting impact. It's been a while since a kdrama filled me with such a satisfying void.

WHAT THE HECK IS THE PLOT

I started this drama because of jang dong yoon and no other reason. I really love him as an actor and he really did a great job in every drama he acted on. Unfortunately, this drama is not gonna make it up. The plot is miserable af. I don't even know what the writer was doing with the reincarnation plot. It was okay when baek-ryeon is linked to the reincarnation of court lady but what with the highschool girl? Is she the reincarnation of baek-ryeon or the highschool girl actually was baek-ryeon? It didn't even add up because we see that they found the body of the highschool girl in the mountain. So, I don't understand why baek-ryeon have the memory of the highschool girl.
And don't get me started with the cupid curse. Like I don't understand why they only blame the curse on sang-hyuk which was at the first place is due to god of courage (the kid). He was the one who did all the things so that sang-hyuk fall in love with the court lady and only blame it on him? smh. I will leave the past as it is but why when the other cupid fall in love with baek-ryeon's friend, they suddenly okay with it? Like there is no curse happening towards him. Ridiculous but i will still watch this drama since only 3 episodes left.
The murder plot is okay but not important. Maybe important at earlier episode in building up the connection with female lead and male lead. But that's all. Nothing interesting at the moment. I just wished they conclude this drama on 12 episodes cos they taking a lot of time in building the storyline that it feels like some kind of the plot is unecessary for the story.
The acting of the casts all good. I have watched the main leads' show so I know they will do well. Nothing extraordinary in particular. I love every single of them and the cupids are handsome, pleasing to eyes except one cupid. No offense though hehe.
The OST is quite good. They know how to place it well. But overall I will never watch this drama again.

ok for a one time watch ONLY

I thought this was just ok and was fine for a one time watch and no more than that.
But I made sure to watch this to the end to give it views on Prime Video in the
hopes that it helps them see that we need more foreign dramas produced by them.
Now
The female lead was annoying a good bit of the time and did unbelievably stupid
crap to many times to count. The second male lead was annoying and made you
want to push him off that mountain they kept climbing. What I liked most was
the supporting characters. I was more interested in Chun Dong Chil, Chun Dong Koo
and Chun Dong Pal and even the female lead's best friend An Do Ra.
I would've been fine if the leads were the side story and the supporting characters were the main story.

A cute cliche love story between a cupid and a human.

The story is just another fluffy romance and won't bring anything new that hasn't been seen before and will end the same way too. There is a past life trope and some serial killer stuff added to make it somewhat interesting. The cast be it the leads or side characters have done well.

Jang Dong Yoon as a handsome cupid was a very good choice as he has the looks and charms to portray one. ML's nature is quite the opposite of FL and their combo is fun to watch.

I would say the most annoying character in the show has to be the SML. Dude is a cop who is given the task to catch a serial killer but spends most of the time trying to separate the leads. He is extremely nosy, delusional and irritating. Be it breaking into ML's house to get info about his past or asking FL to stay away from ML, he has done everything that makes you hate him and question how could this dude be a cop. He gets on your nerves even more than the serial killer.

The chemistry between the leads is good. It isn't too strong or sensual but more like calm and sweet. I was skeptical when Nana was casted as just before this show I saw "The Masked Girl" and Nana was on fire in that one as her role of one scarred, crazy and fiery woman. So going from that to her role, I wasn't sure if she will be able to pull off one sweet simple girl role in this show but she sure did justice to her character. He character is cringey and idiotic sometimes but that is countered and overpowered by her straight forwardness and stay true to heart nature. Since the first ep, she goes openly for ML and isn't even slightly wavered by anyone else which I really enjoyed.

It is a good show, more like a one time watch which sometimes get draggy but still enjoyable.

Great Concept, But Lacking in Story and Chemistry

The show had a really interesting concept that initially caught my attention. The idea behind the show is unique and it promised a fresh take on the usual romantic comedy genre. It's always exciting to see shows trying something new and different, and this show definitely had that going for it. The overall storyline had potential, and there were moments in the show that were truly enjoyable and fun to watch.

However, as I continued watching, I felt that the story was a bit lacking in depth and development. It didn't seem to fully explore the potential of its unique concept. Additionally, I noticed that the chemistry between the lead characters wasn't as strong as I had hoped. This lack of chemistry made it harder to get invested in their relationship and believe in their connection. There were also parts of the story that didn't quite make sense or were not well explained, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, while the show had a great concept, it fell short in terms of storytelling and character development.

The writing of this drama is one of the worst.

I like the casts. Story is terrible and I have to agreed with many of the reviews here that it is extremely lazy story writing. The first couple of episodes I was quite entertained and so decided to watch on. The more I watched the more I became upset by how the 1 criminal made every character in this drama look like fools. I especially dislike the old man character (a high power angel) who actually seemed and acted more like a devil. I would have enjoyed this drama much more if it was more of fantasy comedy or fantasy romantic where you just feel good watching. I don't want to spoil this for everyone as we all have our own tastes so I am sure others will enjoy this. This is just my own personal opinion, and after all, it's my review. I loved all the casts and hated all the characters.

More than a romantic fantasy, it's a noir!

The title is a bit misleading, it makes you think that it is a Romantic Fantasy comedy but instead it has noir implications complete with a serial killer
The Fantasy Story is there because he is Cupid bound to live among humans for 500 years waiting for the last Metamorphosis to return to his place but something goes "wrong" and so he meets a beautiful vet who however turns out to be the love of his life precisely for him who cannot have any ties, especially with humans. However their story between ups and downs, memories and tragedies will have the right ending.
The story of the killer is also well told and until the end you don't expect the killer.
Nice chemistry between Jang Dong Yoon and Nana nice kisses, some comedy and some tragedy but overall a good drama to watch!

Another fun story with reincarnation and no explanation

Until episode 10 I thought this would be one of my favorite dramas of the year. The actors are really good, beautiful and the story very easy and fun. The side stories are also fun.
But towards the end it got so boring, even this cute couple lost their chemistry.
Plus the reincarnation thing that is already so repetitive didn’t have any closing. Sometimes you can make people just fall in love without knowing each other from past lives. But that’s not the main problem. I think it should have lile 12 episodes and it would work.
But anyway it’s still worth watching when you want something light

drama carino... ma...

La storia ha una bella trama, ci sono tutti i presupposti per un drama di successo (trama avvincente, plot twist. triangolo amoroso, personaggi pucciosi e personaggi odiosi).
L'idea è anche innovativa: non credo, e chiedo scusa qualora sbagliassi, che ci sia mai stato un drama su CUPIDO.
Vorrei dire che è tutto splendido, ma in realtà delle pecche ce la ha:
1. La protagonista femminile è vuota, priva di personalità, o forse ha delle personalità un "po' troppo confuse". L'eccesso non sempre è un bene.
2. La figura della protagonista è a tratti inutile.
3. La protagonista ha uno sviluppo del personaggio pessimo: inizia con la scampagnata e poi...? potevano farla camminare un altro po' a questo punto, era meglio.
4. TROPPI personaggi per nulla e per niente approfonditi. A partire dagli amici cupidi di cupido, all'assassino.
5. Una serie di eventi di cui si può fare felicemente a meno sono stati sparsi lungo la serie.
6. Il second lead è qualcuno che mai ci saremmo sognate e va bene, apprezzo la scelta dell'attore, ma dategli almeno una scena degna dell'intelletto umano. Mi dispiace per la second lead che praticamente si è vista pochissimo e che meritava un degno spazio nella serie.
7. La protagonista non è in grado di difendersi. Per sviluppare questo triangolo amoroso sembrerebbe che abbiano deciso che la protagonista aveva sempre bisogno di due possenti uomini a proteggerla.
8. In un certo senso, non ho apprezzato il fatto che la protagonista dimostrasse un attaccamento quasi morboso al protagonista, con scenate di gelosia che potevano essere risparmiate.
9. La parte thriller non è preponderante e va bene tenendo presente il genere, ma appare un po' raffazzonata.


La storia è interessante però.
Dove stanno le ost???
