MR.EMPEROR PENGUIN
I beg beg begggggg, you to NOT judge this drama by it's initial ratings, pleaseeeeee...I don't know what pleasure people get from down-rating a drama...If you're not into such dramas, you shouldn't have started it after watching the trailer, why would you intentionally come here just to give bad ratings.But, if you're into silly and lovely dramas that'll have you screaming in your pillow, giggling and curling your toes, THEN THIS IS A PERFECT DRAMA FOR YOU....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CAST... IT'S A PERFECTLY PACED STORY and cherry on top is ML's voice>>>>> sir sir sir....??
ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH TAEGOO AND SUNHWA?❤

The most adorable KIM BAEKDO
Before starting this drama, I thought it was going to be some sad and slow story, but I was here for our BELOVED Jang DongYoon and our cutie Kim BoRa....But oh boi I was wrong, this was NOT AT ALL a sad or boring story...I enjoyed every SINGLE second of this drama....I know, I know, for many people it might be a typical murder mystery BUT the warmth this drama gave us is unmatched...♡♡♡♡♡Let's talk about the STAR of this show, KIM.BAEK.DO.....Literally the most ADORABLE human being on this planet...You don't agree? well go argue with a wall....My man (yeah I'm delusional), Jang DongYoon did a FANTASTIC job at portraying this role...That chubby JDY will forever be one of my favorite memories....JDY, literally changed his whole vibe for this character...KUDOS to him for being our VERSITILE KING...
Our FL, Oh DuShik (sorry I forgot her real name) was a strong and determined character and her acting was AMAZZZZING..She gave us a perfect combination of her tomboish and feminine side....I LOVED IT....
KIM BORA didn't have a lot of scenes but the ones she had, she portrayed them like a QUEENNNNNNN(Ilovehersm)....♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Finally, the other supporting cast also did a FABULOUS job at making this drama super amazing...(especially BaekDo's friends and the fellow cop)
I did figure out who the real culprit was, not because the script was weak but because they did a little bit mistake in casting......
Overall, I absolutely loved this drama and would recommend it, if you're looking for a story that is sweet and simple....♡♡♡♡♡

Writing this is hard for me
Don't get me wrong...Writing this is hard for me because I LOVE THIS DRAMA SOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH, that it's hard for me to describe that in words....This drama is like a drug and I am ADDICTED...
I think it should be illegal for dramas to be sooooooo perfect, my standards are getting outta my control.
Ever since I started this drama, I told myself I won't cry, but this drama always found a way to make me ugly cry... (not in a bad way but in a heartwarming way)...
Jung WooSung did a FANTASTIC job at playing JinWoo, our male protagonist. But here I wanna talk about our GORGEOUS FEMALE LEAD, MoEun played by actress Shin HyunBin....She is the definition of GREEN FLAG...The way she supports JinWoo in everything, the way she takes care of him, QUEEN, YOU HAVE MY HEART...She taught me that I need to be the person my future partner can emotionally lean on.....
I think, we as a society should appreciate such character more and more...Women are amazing when they're in love...
Ahhhhhh, I think instead of writing a proper review, I just wrote down my jumbled up thoughts about this drama...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ... I apologize, if this wasn't helpful to you....
At the end, I'll just say, I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA...Its a million/10 for me....
Super amazing, sooooo heartwarming and a very well written story...
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Adorable...
I saw this drama on HiTv marked as premium....I wasn't interested cuz I thought it was a Thai drama, but when I saw chinese title, I was confused, so I searched this drama and was shocked to see every episode was just 4 mins long....I was about to go to sleep but I started watching this.....Ahhhhhhh! it might be tooooooo cliché but it's ADORABLE......I love it...hahahahahahahaThe ML is hannnnndsommmmeee and the FL is pretty too....
p.s: But I'm still confused why is it marked premium on HiTv...

STOP COMPARING THIS TO SEASON 1
You need to understand that every drama has it's own place....I know, we all have our own opinions on what we like or not, but one thing we can all do is, not compare stuff...I don't have a lot to say besides this,
but I wanna talk about the MOST AMAZING cameos this drama is offering...Every single episode had me like "?Them too!!!!!????"....
The cases in this drama are interesting in a sense that, they're not about money now, they're about REVENGE...and that makes all the cases interconnected... I find that super interesting but I've read comments of people not liking this concept....
Overall, if you wanna see our fantastic cast of Player get revenge from the bad guys, this drama is for you....

MY SOUL BELONGS TO THIS DRAMA
More than 15 years of watching television and almost 9 years of watching Kdramas, I've stumbled upon a million different stories and various cinematic masterpieces. Many dramas have made me feel like home and gave me the best experiences, but no drama or series has ever resonated with my soul the way this drama has. For many it might just be a love story amidst war and chaos but for me its a million times more than that. Every episode made me feel the emotions that I CANNOT even describe through words...My eyes are filled with tears as I write this...This drama is everything I could ever want. The story is perfect, the cast is spot on( seriously I love Ahn EunJin and Nam GoongMin sooooooo much), everything is PERFECTION

Season 2 is a LOT better than season 1
Well, I know, I know DoJin died and yeah we all cried for him....But that doesn't make this drama less interesting....I've seen people saying "im dropping this drama cz DoJin died and blah blah blah"....But at the end of the day, it was the actor's choice to leave this drama....HoGae and Seol look ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE together and I wish to see more of their interactions in next 4 episodes...
p.s: It might never happen but I'll always wait for season 3....This drama is LITERALLY soooooooo good.....♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I'm into this story
I'm writing a review this early because I wanna defend this drama...Some of you are hating it sooo much.....Am I being biased because of Uee and HaJoon? Yes, a little....But, I like the way most of characters are messed up rn, we all wanna see some character development....
I absolutely love HyoShim, her older brother and her brother who's studying law...
I'm excited to see his and HyoDo's love life....
HyoShim is gonna be in a love triangle for sure and I'm in for it.....Team TaeHo♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Update: It's been 6 months since I wrote this review...Phewww!!!The time flew soooooo fast...and I was right about this drama, I LOVED EVERY SECOND of it...The character development was amazing. Love triangle didn't even matter in this drama.
My most favorite characters after HyoShim and TaeHo were Mirim, KkeutSoon halmoni, Gaon and her father....♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I'll miss this drama soooooooo much....??
p.s:- THIS DRAMA HAD ONE OF THE BEST OSTS ever.....I listen to them on loop

?SPEECHLESS?
I canNOT find perfect words to describe this drama....LEE HANEE rules my heart for a reason....She always chooses THE BEST script and delivers what we all needed the most..A PERFECT DRAMA....I don't know why is it that we get the MOST perfect chemistry in a non-romantic dramas...
The OST was HEARTWARMING, definitely adding 그 사랑 to my all-time favorite songs....
The cast was FLAWLESS...
Our main LEADDDDD, sirrrrrrrrr????WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH AN IRRESISTIBLE CHARM?
Overall, this drama delivered everything that I needed, I don't think we'll get a better Sageuk than this, this year....HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....

Need a happy ending.. ㅠㅠ
I've loved this show from the start....I'm soooooooooooo into stories like this, but I fear sad/tragic endings....YoungDae did an amazing job whilst playing Han JunO...I do agree that this drama didn't have the greatest chemistry but it wasn't THAT bad....I hope the last two episodes show us more passionate side of our FL....Overall, it was a very well written story, the present to past ratio of the scenes was also good....
Do I highly recommend watching it? Well, I can only answer that after watching the last two episodes....Hahahahahahhahahahahaha..
Loads of love for the cast...♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

♡TOP TIER♡
Despite having to watch half of it on YouTube with slightly off subtitles, I ENJOYED IT VERY VERY MUCH.... LORDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, THE ML IS HANNNNNDSOMMMMEEE....Plus, we got a STRONG FL.....A FL who knows how to stand up for herself is always what I love.The SL seriously need to take classes on the meaning of "divorce"..? absolute trash of a person he was.
But dont worry, our GREENEST OF THE GREEN FLAG ML makes up for every trashy thing done by the SL...FL won a mega-lottery with him...
Overall, the drama has STRONG and MATURE plot....Definitely would recommend it...♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

●The plot was OUTSTANDING
●THE CAST WAS PERFECTION .I've always had a huge crush on Kim DongWook
●Time travel dramas can never have a perfect storyline because TIME IS A COMPLICATED ENTITY
●This drama delivered everything
P.s: I was on the ground SCREAMINGGG when JinYeong appeared.....YoonYeong's and HaeJun's HANDSOMEEEEE son....
Loads of love for this drama...I highly recommend it...10/10

BETTER THAN SQUID GAME
I don't like comparing two dramas just to favor my favorite one, but just this one time, I wanna say, "THIS WAS BETTER THAN SQUID GAME".....O! MYYYY! LORDDDDD! THIS IS HOW A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER IS DONE....Every episode depicts a new dark element of our society. But it also shows some humane sides. We, as a society have fallen soooooo low that we've started normalizing ABSOLUTE satanic behaviors, yet some people still have some what of a human side to them. Greed, lust, wrath are forbidden for a reason, they not only rot our souls but also the core of our society.
THIS DRAMA COVERS A WIDE ARRAY OF EMOTIONS, felt by both characters and the audience.
Overall, I highly recommend this drama if you can handle a huge amount of psychological and physical torture.
p.s, I gave a low score to music because there's something VERY CREEPY about those songs in this drama.

I WAS SOBBING
I know, it doesn't have any music, story and the cast is just the director and his mother but these 1 minute 34 seconds made me feel sooooooooooo much....I know it sounds like I'm over-exaggerating but I seriously am not....The way his mother, despite her old age walks all the way to the grocery store and comes back carrying a heavy cabbage just to make jeon for her son, who's coming back home, shows us how POWERFUL mothers are....Every single day many of us blessed people who have their mothers, experience this...And we all are sooooooo used to our mothers being kind to us that we never even think of their hardwork....I tell my mom "iloveyou" several times, but I don't know if I'm truly being a good daughter to her....I wanna write more but my tears are blurring my vision....I apologize for any grammatical/lexical errors....
