I was really excited to watch this drama since it was so hyped when it came out and this is the 2nd drama that I will watch from 2020 (I have a long list of Asian dramas to watch, so it would take me 2 years before I watch a drama that was released in its year) but sad to say, it didn't meet my expectations.

I love Kim Dami, but I just can't bear to watch it 'faithfully'. I've tried to not skip a lot of scenes, but I got so bored. On the first few episodes, I already got lost interest, but because of Kim Dami, I tried until episode 11, after that I start skipping scenes.

I love how they show the sensitive topics that SoKor has, but I find it lacking. It's like they are forcing to put it in the story. I don't have a problem on their acting, or OST, I think the problem is just the flow of the story.

In my opinion, this drama won't be so hyped if Park Seojun wasn't in it.

I'll give it a 6/10. Out of all Seojun's drama, this is the weakest for me.

The drama title really fit its story. A woman who 'keeps' finding herself —her will to live, after all the things that happened to her. And a man who is also 'trying' to find the meaning of life. In short, they are both "lost".

Everything in this drama is wonderful. I love how they show all of the struggles of every character, from their marriage, to their family, to their job, relationships with other people, and many more. The feelings I have for this drama while watching it is overwhelming.

This drama for me is 9/10. Sad that this doesn't gain any recognition from other people. But watching it was worth it. If you want a light drama, then this is not for you.

I'll give this drama a 3.5/10.

This is the worst Chinese drama that I have watched this year. There is no thing to like in this drama. I find the story poor written, the transition between the present and the past is too quick. There is no enough story built or even a strange thing happening when the female lead first got in to the past. They just fell in the building and suddenly they are not in the present time. The people in the past didn't even ask them what they are wearing nor find them odd. They just treat them "normal" even it is obvious that they are out of the ordinary. And the fighting scenes are awful. If you look carefully they are just literally spitting the blood out of their mouth (I think it is in the first 3 episodes). Even the effects and the love story between the main leads are terrible too.

Not recommendable and in my opinion this drama will just waste your time so don't bother watching it.

There is really nothing to look up on this drama, unless you are a fan of Woo Do Hwan (Kim Min Joon) and Jo Jae Yun (Cheetah) aka the only characters who carried this show.

One of the basic action kdrama I have seen. I find the story bland, and the pace of the drama slow. The chemistry between Jang Hari and Kim Minjoon is too weak and dry. The team "Mad Dog" doesn't have any impact on me, though I think the roles of the members in the team are cool, I still can't deny the fact that they look boring. I love Woo Do hwan but this drama is just not it.

I'll just give it a 4 out of 10. In my opinion, this drama is the type where you will forgot after you are done watching.

I'll give this drama just a 5.5/10. If you want a short and not heavy drama, you can try watching this.

I do believe that this drama is tolerable and can be a 10/10, or any higher than 5 if they just remove or lessen those typical cringy ass kdrama scenes. For example is Dr. Ian giving Soodam his coat when miss gurl is literally wearing a mascot suit, and him blocking Soodam in elevator so the other people won't see her crying when he can just give him his sunglasses instead of his coat (SO CRINGY SAVE MEE ACKK). I'm not that harsh when giving short/web dramas a review, but this is just not it.

I didn`t get hooked up on the story of this drama too much. I do like watching historical dramas but this one is just not it for me. The actors and actresses did great, the fighting scenes are good, you can feel the chemistry between the main leads, but somehow I still find it boring. If not because of Na-eun I wouldn't even watch and finish this.

I'll give it a 4.5/10. I think I would give this a higher rating if the episodes would be much more shorter than 35. It took me almost a month just to finish this Korean drama. I wouldn't recommend it for you to watch this.

The story of this drama is really nice. They really portray the struggles and problems that most of the family go through. Their acting are amazing and you can feel the emotions especially when its the older actors are on the scene. Though it's a little bit boring because it's a drama with a 40 episodes and some scenes are just fillers. OSTs are good, and the casting of the characters are great, they really fit the character they portray.

Overall, I'll give it a 6/10. The story is nice but I got bored. I'm not sure tho if it's good enough to recommend.

I'm glad this drama is only 16 episodes. 'Cause I think if this is more than 16, I won't and can't finish it. After episode 5 I start to get bored and a lot of their action scenes don't look natural and so cringy. A lot of filler scenes and draggy. I had high hopes because Lee Hyun Woo (Yoon Shiwoo) is here and the dramas that I've watch where he is the lead is amazing but this drama is not it.

Overall i'll give it a 4/10. I am not satisfied in this drama but the relationship between the main leads are okay and also the friendship of Shiwoo and Chi Ang are good.

Since I've watched reply 1997 before this drama I kinda know who will end up with Najung. I was surprised on how long the time of some episode has. I think this drama can already end at episode somewhere near 16. I also don't know what happened on some parts?? Like what happened on Sung Na-Jung's fan-girling?? It suddenly stopped when she had a problem on her back.

I'll give this drama a 6/10. I got bored on the last few episodes. They just drag(?) the story. But still this drama is somehow funny, cute and lovely. Y'all don't need to compare this drama to the other reply series.

Since I've watch this drama on year 2021 and I have also watched a tons of action Korean dramas this past years, this drama didn't entertain me that much(?). This is just one of those typical action drama about revenge. And the female lead (Kim Na-Na) always get in trouble, it's annoying.

I'll give this drama a 4/10. I really didn't like it and this drama bores me so much I skipped a lot of scenes. Maybe if I watched this earlier I would like it. All of the actors and actresses.are good tho I just don't like the story that much.

Thank God that this drama is just 16 episodes with 20+ min duration per episodes. Cause I don't think I can finish it anymore if this drama is longer than that.

In my opinion, this drama is sooo basic, though i do like the ending, I cant still deny that this drama is plain. I can't feel the acting, and the chemistry of the main leads. And why is the female lead so clumsy and so weak? And the emotions of the male lead is so bland, like everytime he would act cool it looks like those typical highschool boys. Literally C R I N G E. And the fighting scene :/ my gosh:-/ my old grandpa can punch better than the male lead :") I literally skip a lot of scenes just to get finish on this cringy ass drama.

2.5/10 is what would I give on this drama, the OSTs are good, and i did like the ending a little bit. Other than that, there is nothing I like on this drama:::: I wouldn't recommend you to watch it.

After watching episode 1, I already got bored. I think the story of this drama is great, I'm just not sure what really bores me while watching it. Is it the acting of the actors and actresses? Or the actors/actresses that they pick for this drama just don't really suit or not compatible for the character that they play? And I don't feel any chemistry between the 2 leads. The leading man can play like the father of the leading actress that's why I don't feel any ‘butterflies' between them????

Overall I will give this drama a 4/10. I think the story is great, The actors/actresses just don't feel right to me. In short they don't hooked me up.

This drama is funny and the characters are good too, the only problem here is they always shout. Like literally every episode in every five minutes. I think almost all the characters keep shouting and it's irritating me that's why I skip some/most scenes and I got bored (but still finished it). In my opinion, this drama would be good to watch and tolerable if they weren't so loud. Every time one of the characters shout, it makes me cringe and give me a somewhat second hand embarrassment.

I'll give this drama a 4/10. The acting is good (except the shouting obviously) and somehow the the music/OST in this drama got me hooked up a little bit. But still, I won't recommend this drama for you to watch.

Since I watched the K-drama Sky Castle first than this drama, I can't help too think that this drama is just another SKY Castle too. If you watch sky castle it is almost the same as this drama, These dramas are also both under/shown in JTBC. As expected, JTBC is really good in genre about family, education, and youth (SKY Castle, Beautiful World, At eighteen, etc.).

The actors and actress who played the characters are awesome, especially Kim Hwan hee. The OSTs are good too and after I finished watching this I felt warm. And I also like the family, friends, and siblings relationship in this drama.

although in my opinion, the plot is too slow and some parts and episode gets boring.
I'll give this drama a 6.5/10. If you want too watch this then go ahead, but for me I prefer SKY Castle than this drama. But both dramas are awesome.

Now this is what you call suspense

I am a sucker for dramas that center around women. A 9/10.

I will start my review with the eldest child, Oh Injoo (Kim Goeun). The girl who will do anything and everything for her family to get out of poverty. She portrays the burden of being the eldest child really well. I am a little bit annoyed with her character since, out of them 3, she's not the brightest, so she does a lot of questionable things in this show, but you can understand why she does it. Goeun is one of my favorite actresses, and she did not disappoint here.

The second is Nam Jihyun (Oh Inkyung). At first, I thought that the actress's look was too soft for this kind of drama, but as the show goes on, you can see how she perfectly fits the character. The smartest and fearless one, but has a heart of marshmallow. I personally believe that she is one of the strongest characters, but this drama failed to show that side of hers. Nevertheless, you can see her dedication to being a reporter and fighting for justice. The flow of romance with Jihyun and Kang Hoon (Ha Jong Ho) is so adorable and just perfect—not too fast and not forced.

And the last sibling, Oh In Hye (Park Jihu), She had the least screen time, but she left me with the most impact. I saw other reviews that said they hated her character since she doesn't listen to her older sisters, but I understand her. In a poor family, she receives the most of everything, and she can see how her sisters do their best to get what she wants, and she feels burdened by it, so to not feel bad, she does her best to not depend on them, which results in her looking like a rebel. She might look like a brat for not listening to her sisters, but you can see how mature and smart she is when handling situations that involve the future of her and Hyorin (Jeon Chaeun).

I agree with everybody that some of them find it boring, since I find it also boring from the start due to lengthy episodes, but it gets better as the episodes go on. A lot of plot twists and big events happen in each episode, and I can't even imagine how this drama will end. Not only the main leads are interesting, but also the other women, like Kanghoon, their aunt Hyeseok, and one of the most evil characters I've seen, Jiwon.

Out of all the scenes, the one that I like the most is when Injoo gets her dream house, but the first thing she does is stay there and cry. That scene makes me shed a tear. You can see how happy she is, but she also feels empty.

If you have time and want a show that will stress you out and doesn't have a predictable ending, then I recommend this drama.
