It just got boring. Also,the main lead was bland,i didn't really care for him,i loved Hongbin as the second lead but his character was pointless,the female lead was okay and the grandmas were funny but honestly annoying at times.
The only great thing was the skinship and the light romance. That's why i stayed until the end. But again,i found myself disappointed. It was rushed.
Overall,this drama had a nice fresh concept but it was poorly developed.

No matter whether you are rich or poor or come from a large city or small, everyone has its own issues to deal with along with secrets they keep from the outside world.
Every character had their own development and i can't wait to see them in season 2! Definite must-watch.

First of all,the plot had it's up and downs. I went from being interested to being bored in half a sec. The development of the story leaves much to be desired. And a lot of people cried but i had a poker face until the ending,i think i teared up a little but nothing more.
And second of all,my biggest problem was with some actors in particular. The english speaking scenes were horrible. They were so cringy that i almost wanted to die. I understand it was necessary but damn,everytime they switched languages it was like turning a good actor into a bad one. And the american cast was trash.
I loved everyone else tho. The supportive cast was excellent and the chemistry between the main leads was cute even if their relationship was 100% bipolar. The female main lead changing her mind and dragging everything was kinda annoying.
I mean,it's not a bad drama at all.I enjoyed most of it. The cinematography was breathtaking,one of the best ones out there. And the OST gave me chills. But y'know,those flaws were pretty strong.
Overall,do i think it's overrated/overhyped? Maybe? But everyone has their own preferences. And focusing on the good things,like i said,i enjoyed most of it. And you're probably gonna enjoy it too,just don't start this with high expectations. I think that was my mistake. A popular,hyped drama,doesn't always mean a perfect drama.

My heart is aching,i can't believe how much i loved this drama. I started the first episode thinking this one might be worth dropping after a couple of episodes but hell to the no. I binge watch it and it was one of the best decisions i've made.
The storyline was written brilliantly and every episode had me captivated until the end. This drama will teach you about life, friendship, and love. And the most important thing,it shows how we take family for granted and it re-discovers love in its layers and layers of depth.
I cried buckets of tears,i honestly thought i was going to drown at some point( i haven't cried like this since Goblin) but it also made me smile and laugh until my cheeks hurt. This series was packed with excellence work of art.
Also,i liked the main lead but Second lead syndrome was too strong in this one,be aware!
Overall,i think this drama just doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's full of lessons that we all should know in life. Just watch it and be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster filled with laughter, tears, and those deep and real moments that touch you to your core. Definitely worth watching!!

The cast was absolutely flawless. They managed to express everything perfectly and that made this drama 100x better. I have huge admiration for Seo Kang Joon,playing two different characters is truly hard but he did it effortlessly.
The plot was interesting and unique. It wasn't a typical robot "turn into human/is actually a human" story and that surprised me. The drama was equal parts lovable, action packed,hilarious, and touching.
Also,the OST was one of my fav so far. I would definitely listen to it on my free time.
Things i disliked:
The last 2-3 episodes. Some plot scenes were dragged a little bit and the ending felt rushed and left me with a lot of questions. I feel like 15 minutes were missing. The writers could've explored more and present us a more detailed and extended ending.
Overall,it was a really enjoyable drama,it had a great balance of light and heavy moments, intriguing storyline and amazing acting. I would recommend watching this.

The cast was great tho. I don't even get surprised anymore with Hwang Jung Eum's characters. She really likes obnoxious and loud ones. I don't think anyone else could pull them off. And even if the cast was great,i think the main leads didn't have enough chemistry. I liked the supportive characters better.
Overall,i have to be real,it's a mediocre drama. I enjoyed it but it has a lot of flaws ,it was a mixed bag. I don't think i'm gonna remember the story nor the characters after some time. (But the armpit guy and the tall lady were the OTP here.I would watch a drama just with these two)

But focusing on the episode,yesterday i was laughing my head off at 4am until literal tears came out of my eyes. The story was funny but damn,i have to be honest,my boys are amazing actors. They all portrayed their characters so well that it.was.absolutely.hilarious. Of course,if you actually don't stan them and you want to give this episode a try,remember that it's a parody and they're actual kpop idols with no acting career lmao.
Also,how can they be prettier than a normal woman?! Dior,Minji and Sangah were girlfriends goals.
ANYWAY,stan Monsta X everyone,they feed us quality content and good music.

*claps slowly*
What a masterpiece. I want to thank the Mdl family for recommending this. I wouldn't have watched it otherwise because i don't usually like medical dramas. But this was one epic and amazing journey. I'm gonna miss all the characters so much.
The plot was truly inspirational and the writers did a wonderful job with the characters development. In the beginning some of the doctors were annoyingly too immature but i loved to watch how they slowly changed,it was impressive. And the friendship between all of them was spot on. I would've liked a little bit more of romance in the ending but nevertheless it ended perfectly.
Overall,the entire cast was excellent,the story was intense and emotional and it had a great cinematography. It's one of those rare gems that keeps you interested from the first episode to the last one. Even if you have a weak stomach and you can't stand blood,i really recommend it.

It was so interesting in the beginning,the first episodes made me actually excited but...What happened writers?! I even started this drama with high expectations,the plot looked really promising and the cast didn't looked bad at all. I love Lee Sung Kyung as an actress so i was 100% sure this was going to be bomb.
But halfway through the story,the show lost it's way. The writers fucked up so much. This had the potential to be unique and refreshing until the end but the wrong choices and the dragging scenes were excruciating to watch. I forced myself to finish it,i don't even know why,i should've stopped at episode 8 cause that was the only one that i loved and the only one that made me cry. I feel proud for staying till the end.
Sadly,i don't like skipping episodes,but i had to skip a lot of scenes in the last 4 ones. I was pretty much done with this drama. Even Rowoon(the beauty from Sf9 <3) didn't make it better,i kept watching for him but his relationship also dragged so much,it started to be annoying and immature.
And so many characters were fillers. The evil brat that the writers seemed to love and prolonged her story to the point i wanted to jump out of the window and that guy only speaking in one language but understanding korean fluently. Like wtf,why? And the mom,istg this ahjumma always has irritating characters.
And i thought the ending was going to be okay but hell no. The writers just quit and walked out. This reminded me of when i used to do my homework 5 minutes before class started. Exactly the same,rushed and lazy written.
Overall,execution dragged the plot considerably and it's a shame because so many good actors wasted their time on this. I wouldn't recommend even if you're bored but if you have insomnia and you want to fell asleep,watch it.

This is one of that kind of dramas where every character is a piece of a puzzle. They're all important. You're gonna love them because of their unique characteristics and wittiness. Everyone was so natural in their acting,it was insane. I think a lot of people thought that the story was cliché. And i agree with that. But for some reason,i didn't really mind it.
And the thing i liked the most about this,is that the main female lead was not the typical "dumb and weak" character. She was powerful,strong and confident,and i wanted to enter the drama just to give her a hug. Also, Park Seo Joo never disappoints,i love this man in every drama.
Overall,it was a really laid back and fun romcom. I laughed and squealed and that's what i needed because i was in a slump from all the bad dramas that i forced myself to watch. And i didn't cry until the last episode,damn,that one got me. I'M GONNA MISS THE LEADS AND THE SUPPORTIVE CHARACTERS A WHOLE BUNCH

Damn this drama had 100% real bops. All the songs were catchy. And the instagram he used is actually real,i'm wheezing. https://www.instagram.com/superstarmin92/
It was an adorable story that felt like a 2h movie. And the characters were so so soooo charming. The sister made my heart melt(what do they give them to eat to be such awesome actor/actresses?!) and the friends were absolutely squad goals. But the ending tho...come on. HOW CAN THEY LEAVE ME LIKE THAT? The main leads had an amazing character development in only two episodes but i wanted to see a more extended ending.
So overall,if you have two hours and want something sweet and light,this is the drama for you.

And then the acting...As much as i love Exo,in this case, i'm judging Suho as an actor and not as an idol. You can really notice throughout the whole drama that he lacks the skills. He had the same expression since the first episode to the last. It was like a half pout,half smirk. LIKE WHY NOBODY TOLD MY MAN IT LOOKED WEIRD? I think he should practice more before he tries to act again.
And i mean,how can everyone be good at acting except the main leads? The most important ones were the worst. And their romance was absolutely dry. 0 chemistry.
I was more interested in the supporting characters(i loved Mi So and Cha Do Jin; Min Tae Ra and that painter guy ),they were the only ones that made this drama bearable. (Steve and the other 2 were squad goals).
They should've chose a better cast for the main couple and a better writer. The last episodes were such a filler,i almost fell asleep,and it's a shame.
Overall,i'm giving it a 5 just because like i said,i really loved the supportive characters and it's not their fault they had to follow a bad produced script.
Min Tae Ra + The painter : OTP

And kudos to the cast,i was amazed by their acting. The main leads weren't actually my fav but the rest of the cast,oh my god! The kids were absolutely flawless,i was impressed by the fact that they were almost identical to the adults. And i can't wait to see them in further dramas.
My only complain about this is that the main leads had some pretty cringy moments. And some scenes were dragged too much. The pacing is important to keep the audience's attention and halfway through the drama,i felt a little bit bored. BUT that phase only lasted a couple of episodes and i managed to finish it with a high rating. I know many people complained about the "brutality" but i honestly loved it. It's what made this drama interesting and intense till the end.
Overall,it was a beautiful and poignant drama,and i would definitely recommend it even if thrillers aren't your thing.

I don't really know how to describe the feeling. But it was like the writers were just writing episodes because they had to. Certain plot developments were extremely frustrating.
And one character in particular got me ANNOYED from the first episode to the last. The mother acted like a spoiled child and i wasn't really having it. She treated everyone like a slave. SO ANNOYING. It really made me give this drama a lower rating just because of that. I don't think the writers could've done a worst job with her,she had too much screen time.
BUT i still finished the drama with a big smile on my face. I can't give it a bad rating because the chemistry between Junho and Ryeo Won was flawless and the rest of the characters made my heart jump. Also,the bromance,OH MAN,the bromance was so cute. Perhaps the ending was a bit incomplete but i didn't really mind it. I was expecting that to happen when i realised they had to cut 2 episodes because of the world cup.
Overall,it has a lot of food porn for you to feast your eyes on and the relationships are hella cute.

2nd episode:I'm gonna keep watching because of Hongbin
3rd episode:Wait a minute...this is getting better
4th episode:Oh shit,I'M HOOKED
Those were my actual reactions. I wanted to drop the drama halfway through the first episode but i kept watching it and in the end,i really enjoyed it. It doesn't have a great storyline,like it's nothing new and unique,it's not gonna surprise you at all. But it has that fluffiness that everyone enjoys from time to time. The characters grew on me and i'm glad that i didn't stopped watching after the first episode.
So overall,for just a short web drama, i thought it was adorable. Really cliché tho,so if you don't like those kind of stories,this isn't for you.
