It was 10% dialogue and 90% of them yelling at each other, but my god, this shit was FUNNY. It might be up there with Waikiki as far as Korean comedies go, for me. I love it when Oh Yeon Seo plays eccentric characters. (I.E) Like her character in Korean Odyssey. One was nuts and the other was angry as HELL!!! Can you imagine their kids? Anyways, the ending was crap though.
1. It's a very funny romance. 2. It was also VERY annoying. 3. Bai Lu always has great chemistry with her male counterparts, but I just didn't feel it here with them. It literally felt as if they were acting and sometimes she looked uncomfortable when she was kissing Zhao Lin or when he picked her up. She didn't have that comfortable chemistry, like she had with Leo in Love Is Sweet. Zhao Lin on the other hand has been playing the same type of character in all his dramas and I'm pretty much bored of it. He's been type casted so hard. The best friends had the better chemistry. Hell even her parents had better chemistry. 4. Her parents were awesome, by the way. 5. I loved the male lead's sister and her son. 6. Male lead's best friend was annoying and childish, but I liked that all the love rivals just became one big family of friends. 7. Some scenes felt like they were missing. The editing seemed off. 8. The first half of the drama drags and it picks up at episode 13. 9. Her birthday mishap could've simply been solved by him just saying, "Hey babes, the paps are here. They're annoying. Don't come." 10. The last four episodes gave off BOF vibes by bringing in another love rival that did NOTHING for the story, but only to bring in unnecessary conflit. 11. It was an okay watch. It might be someone's cup of tea.
Someone...tel me if I should watch this :( It was on my plan to watch but the two things throwing me off are 1)…
It's a pretty good watch. The leads may not "officially" get together until the final couple of episodes of the series, but they were a whole ass couple throughout the series and just didn't know it. LOL. They were just really stubborn. Yes there is a time skip at the end, but it's not that bad. There is also a special epilogue episode on YouTube with them with their kids. Last time I watched it wasn't subbed as yet, but should be by now.
This was a really great drama. It's different from all the k-dramas I'm used too and reminded of an American show. I LOVED the comedy in this too. It was refreshing and realistic. With that being said, my favorite ship did not sail and now I'm pissed. Bah!!! It also needs a season 2 because lots of the plot still felt unfinished. Also, MY SHIP DID NOT SAIL AND I NEED THEM BACK!!!! ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
It was a good drama, just not that great. The first 3 episodes suck you in because you're like "Hey, this is a cool supernatural drama." Then from episode 4 to 11 it lost all its steam, became draggy, kept repeating lots of plot that we've already been told about in the first few episodes and becomes a painting show. They seemed to forget that they were battling an evil spirit and when they DO remember, it's sprinkled in randomly in some scenes.
It picks up after episode 11 and finally gets back to being a supernatural show, but then everything is rushed and they just start throwing so much random stories at you. It had the LONGEST revenge plot, which makes sense why it took so long because of the plot twist they throw at you in the end. It had the dumbest "overthrowing the king" plot line that all came to an abrupt, end when the king decided to put his son in time out. There were two random characters that had NO sort of explanation as to why they were in the series and involved in the revenge story (I'm talking about Ha Ram's right hand man and the Courtesan Lady) but we do get a little bit about the right hand guy for about 5 mins.
Then there was Ha Ram who you weren't quite sure if he was blind or not. The dude kept following people with his eyes and ANSWERING TO SILENT NODS, which made me think he was faking (he wasn't) and was pretty much the Korean Daredevil.
In terms of romance, you get one kiss in episode 6 or 7 and two in the last episode. It was pretty minimal because whenever these two were together Ha Ram was trying to kill her soooo.....there's that. You have a Second Lead (The Prince) who stood NO chance what so ever, so there were no love triangles, just the one that was in his imagination.
Finally the last episode came and everything was rushed, but you get the HAPPIEST of endings. (time skip) It's set up for a season two between the brothers, (with one of them coming again with another long ass revenge plot) but I do not care because the leads got their end and that's all that matters. I will not be watching it if they decide to do one. Does this warrant a re-watch? Yes, if you're into just staring at Paul Ahn in all his tall, red eyes, handsome glory. If not, nah, but it's good for a first watch.
Quite frankly the dullest thing I've ever seen and I KNOW Gameplay can act. He just couldn't make what they gave him any better. The addition of Best didn't do anything either. Anyways, just enjoy it for what it is. It wasn't horrible, just dull and made for great background noise for if you're doing something. P.S was this the same set for Ingredients? It looked the same.
Okay, I dropped. The ML's Edna Mode wig was killing me, the time traveling wasn't explained well. The villain was also a mess, then they're showing her again in a 2nd timeline where she's back and remembers nothing of the time traveling, but the first episode is what caused the confusion. It started in 2024, where she knows him, cooks for him once, went back to the past, THEN they're showing us another timeline in the same 2024 where she wakes up and remembers nothing, but ML remembers her in the 2024 timeline from the 2012 timeline. THEN, the post credit scenes are another timeline of the past where it shows how everything lead up to 2024 beginning scene. Whew, that was a mouthful. Anyways, TL:DR the drama is stupid, the leads had great chemistry and kisses and I dropped at episode 12.
It wasn't bad, but the last few episodes of the series irritated the hell out of me. It warms my heart that Judy and Kris are together in real life. They had great onscreen chemistry. Their skinship wasn't awkward at all. The first 10 episodes dragged, 10-19 it picked up, then it went downhill from 20 to the last episode. I also hated Judy's character here, couldn't stand her.
I loved it. Derek Chang is just so freaking adorable. Judy Qi did her thing and she was hilarious. It was a fun little rom com with a few messages on self love and accepting the body you're in. I loved the characters. They made the females strong, no love triangles, no break ups, just simple misunderstandings that lasted a few hours/ about 2 episodes tops because of the persistence of the male lead and him always explaining himself. The love rival wasn't annoying, she was actually pretty damn cool. The side couple was so entertaining but Xiao Nan got annoying sometimes. 😂 He was like a giant baby. But yea, give it a watch. On some scenes you might need the FF button though.
No matter how many times I rewatch this, I'll never get tired of it. PhunNoh forever. I forgot how much I loved Ohm and Mick's side story too. The friendship between the club members was the best thing. Always remember that this drama introduced us to Captain's thunder thighs.
Eh, I dropped at episode 22 and just watched the final episode because I got completely bored of the entire thing. It's basically how the cute young nerd got the older celebrity. The leads were cute and fun to watch in their gaming sequences, but out in the real world, I couldn't take the ML being all clingy to the FL and I found their relationship tedious to watch when they finally got together. (I honestly don't find the idea of dating a celebrity that glamorous because gosh, the constant "trying to make sure you're careful from the tabloids" is exhausting. )Then the SML who can pretty much be her father, NEVER once told her, the entire time that they've known each other mind you, that he likes her, but expected FL to just magically fall in love with him and be all pissy about it when she doesn't.
He gave off such a creep vibe. THEN the other couple Shan Shan and Taro. Shan Shan brought such a downer to the show with her moody personality. I was feeling bad for her because I thought the big issue, as the below comment said, her boyfriend had abused her, but it wasn't even that serious and she let that one moment ruined her entire life. Taro on the other hand was just being a simp behind her. I felt bad for the guy because she wouldn't give him the time of day, but then he just came off as annoying with him bothering her all the time as their story progressed. Like, give her some emo music and just leave her alone!!! The other characters like the college friends, brought nothing to the show. They were just mindless comedy that they could've done without. Missed opportunity to get him to play the violin at the end concert too.
