The best summer drama!
This show is so fun to watch! The summer vibe of the story and place is so warm, you will love it. I love the tandem of Lee Yeoreum (Seolhyun) and An Daebom (Im Siwan) so much. They look super adorable, especially Daebom; he is the perfect definition of a golden retriever personality. Siwan played the role so perfectly in this drama. Deserving of 10/10! All the characters are interesting; it would be more fun if this show had more than 12 episodes. This drama definitely deserves a lot of attention.I get the point of view of some of the reviewers; this would be a wholesome drama if they just removed the mystery and thrill genres. I love this show, but it would be better if it were just a romance or slice-of-life Korean drama. Nonetheless, I still give this a perfect 10 since I love everything about it. I hope to see all characters in more projects too!

Typical rom-com office drama
Basically, there is nothing special or super interesting in this drama. It was so popular when this drama aired. What makes this drama well-liked? I believe it is because of Park Seo Joon (Lee Young Joon). But sadly, I didn't like his character in this story. I believe that he suits a funny and unserious type of character more.The first episode was great, but it didn't even last long. I was excited to see Kim Miso (Park Minyoung) out of that company and see her live her life to the fullest, but there is not one episode where she is not in that company. It just gets boring seeing them act like a secretary-boss duo when they are already in a relationship, and because of this I don't feel any chemistry to both of them as a couple. The family of Miso just randomly pops out of nowhere that they don't seem like a family.
What makes this drama a typical rom-com office drama? You know those overly successful narcissistic male leads with the girl he likes who is always beside him and keeps telling her what she should and should not do? A traumatic past experience? The family of the male lead is always awkward with each other because they don't have a good bond either with the parents or one of the siblings, and the list goes on. I could literally enumerate the K-dramas with the same plot.
Overall, I'll just give it a 6/10. Not bad, but not good. The only thing I loved in this drama was Kim Miso's outfits.

Lies after lies
I'll rate this drama a 5 over 10. It was thrilling to see how each character's secrets unfolded, but as the episodes go on, it gets boring. Full of unnecessary misunderstandings, secrets that are not relevant to the plot, and problems that just seem to never end. Their acting is fine; I just find the story dull. Not that intense or dramatic. In my opinion, too much is happening, and it just gets draggy. A lot of lies got revealed in this drama, yet some were only interesting and got their deserving punishment.I love all the actors and actresses, but the one who stands out more for me is Riisa Naka (Nanako Ishikawa). I hope to see Osama Mukai (Keita Shirakawa) and Anna Yamada (Hitomi Shirakawa) in their other projects too.

OUTSTANDING DRAMA
This drama is incredible! For a 20-episode-drama the pace is not slow and not fast, just the right pace. I find the story where they can place their soul into another body refreshing and new. Such an intriguing story, no wonder this was a hit drama. All story of each characters and family will make you curious and anticipate for the next episodes. Love it!The friendships, relationship of the main leads, families, and the different mages are thrilling. All of the actors/actresses are good but I like Jung So Min's acting the best! Though I find the chemistry of Jang Uk and Mudeok a tiny bit lacking. But still they are lovely! I already grew fond of So Min as Naksu so I don't know if I'll like the next season considering it's not her anymore.
Anyway, I'll rate this a 10/10.

As usual, Lee Min Ho is a rich man in this drama. There is really nothing good in this story, other than the good looking actors, that's it. I don't know why this was a hit in our country. And I also hate Cha Eun Sang here. Why does she let 2 men handle and just drag her anywhere? The bullying and the cringey love triangle here is too much for me to handle.
But even though the story is a meh for me, I still find myself asking what will happen on the next episodes. Maybe because some characters are interesting. Like the mothers of the main leads, krystal, and what will happen on the stupid love triangle that the main characters has.
Anyway, this is the first acting and character of Krystal that I like. I'll give it a 4/10. If you like this drama, I'm assuming that you only like the actors/actresses, not the story itself. And if you really do like it, level up your taste hun.

This drama is just 'alright'. Not bad, but not good either. There is really nothing memorable or 'impactful' scene in this drama. The chemistry between the main leads are so-so. I only watched this drama for Na-Eun (Jin No-Eul) but her character annoys me (I believe that's a good thing because it means she did her character well that it makes me want to slap her because of her selfishness).
On the other side, the coloring of this drama is very pretty and aesthetic looking, and the OSTs are good.
So far my least favorite types of dramas are dramas about foods.

On the first episode I thought that the story would be boring, but I did get hooked up and start looking up for the next episodes. The chemistry between the 2 main leads are cute and they look good being a couple. But after episode 13, I already got bored. Maybe because the story between the main leads is too fast. After episode 5 (?) they already got married and the male lead accepted the offer of the girl. And starting from there, the story gets more weirder, from the friend of the male lead liking the female lead, the male lead is obsessed with his wife, the female lead doesn't really have a deadly disease, and more. I start to get tired of the story. Problems after problems. And the female lead is stupid for getting back to his obsessed husband. And a little bit weird and annoying(?) that the clothes of the female lead keeps repeating, as in the same top with the same pants/skirt that she wore on the 1st episode will appear on the 8th and 12th episode. I mean your husband is rich why not buy new clothes.
But the good things here in this drama are, the music, I did like some of the characters, and the story of this drama is a little bit good compare to the other Chinese dramas that I have watched. The acting of the characters are good too. So I will give it a 6.5/10.

I'll just give it a 5/10. I believe that the story of this drama is really promising but the acting or rather just the actors and actresses are just not it (the side characters though are a little bit fine).

Overall I'll give it an 8/10. To be honest I watched this drama because of Na-eun (Hyemi) but her character is a little bit annoying. Other than that, I think this drama is fun and recommendable to watch.

Back to the story, I get bored too easily in this drama. And the characters are a little bit cringey. Everytime kibum will start singing the “tiroring" thingy it makes me cringe. And the attitude of jin jung suk is a little bit annoying(?) He's so prideful. Even tho he is the one who makes mistake he won't admit it. And the love story of Hana and jungsuk is a little bit fast. They don't have a chemistry for me. And what's with their name? I thought it's only gongmyung who's real name is the same name in this drama. But when I saw this list I was wrong. Are they too lazy to make names for their characters?
I'll give it a 3/10. I skipped so manyyyy scenes because I got bored.

The acting is good too but some part of it confuse me, example is Yoo Nana's feelings. Does she likes Jang Ki-Seo? But she said she wants to be free and she didn't want to see him anymore, yet she ask if Jang ki-seo have time for her to celebrate her birthday with him. Dis she develop Stockholm syndrome? that part confuses me.
Overall I'll give this drama a 4/10. Other than the actors and actress, there's no reason to watch this. I didn't even heard an OST. Not recommendable.

3/10. I don't found this drama entertaining . I even skipped some parts because I'm somewhat bored of the scenes. The only thing you can look forward in this drama are the people who played the characters (Yoon Siyoon, Ko gyungpyo, and even Kouki Mizuta). That's it.

A masterpiece
Done watching another gem. This drama deserves more hype and recognition and it's definitely 10/10.You will love all the scenes, moments, OSTs, and places in this drama. All the characters — even the ones who have less screen time, and minor roles will make you feel something, it's either love, hate, pity, annoyed, or mad, EVERYTHING. Everybody suits their own roles from the kid, to the grocery girl, to the writer and his brother, even the old couple in the apartment. They really have a great casting for this drama. Even the OSTs will add to your emotions. You will really get thrilled, cry, sad, frustrated and even the butterflies. I believe that all the characters did a great job. A little sad that this only has 12 episodes, I really want to see more about the disease and the love story of the both main characters but I guess 12 episodes are enough to tell the story of this drama.
This drama is lovely and I recommend for all of you to watch it 'cause it's worth it.
