Just OK. ML had one expression on his face and FL tried her best.

I started liking the show at the beginning despites so many issues. However, as things went along. I realized this show had so many potentials but the writers just didn't know what to do with any of it. Story was all over the place.
The leads here are pretty average.. Two piece of woods have more chemistry than these two. But I think the blame is mostly on the ML.

The ML is just below average. They tried to give him some good scenes but he always came out very wooden.
The FL is OK/fine. She tried her best to what was given to her.

The writing and decisions just wow. Letting people go who clearly wanted to stab someone and who actually ended up stabbing someone, almost killed that person.

The murderer reveal was absolutely hilarious. Basically his gayness turned him into a murderer/violent ???
I just couldn't.

They tried to have many surprise twists, just didn't work since you can tell the manager was the guilty one.
And the last two episodes were basically fillers. Absolutely dragged on forever. Very boring.

I knew they didn't have much material for 16 episodes.
There weren't anyone in this drama, I liked and cared for. I was into the SFL but she didn't really change or improve at the end.She wanted to take some time off for herself but I don't think she really changes much.

It's OK to like this show. It just wasn't very good in my opinion.
At the beginning this was a solid 8 despites very bad leads but just the writing really brought it down, along side funny reveals and boring last two episodes.

Started super interesting then lost me mid way through

I'll be keeping this review very short and sweet.
The plots of this series were all over the place.
Seems like the writers didn't know to pick one story line and do thst very well. One minute the show is a mystery, the next it's Harry potter with spells and music and the next, it's a past love story.
I think they did all the past story lines much better. Everyone acted their parts very well.
But the rest of the stuff just didn't know. The office stuff with other Co workers. Her stuck between two guys who kept playing with.
The leads are good here. Though, the FL is charming and funny and the ML is also charming and got some good lines.
The SML is just there. I didn't hate him or like him
But the SFL was just horrible through the show. Not her acting but the character actions and the ML took way too long to break up with her.
Anyway, I think the show had potential like a lot but it ended just like any old drama.
Oh that creepy flower guy didn't need to be there. He was there just to make the show longer.

Great ending and the only ending it should have.

I absolutely love this show. I know some people don't like shows that have "sad ending" in my opinion, if this had a happy ending it would have been so forced and weird. Considering how their relationship started to fall apart by the end of the show.

The ML really was focusing on his career and in the beginning of the show he also had a clear goal in mind; was to help bring his family together. So the relationship, though was sweet, it was never gonna last
She didn't want to have someone who was rarely there and who couldn't be real with his feelings plus, considering she already went through the same thing with her mom, who was barely there for her.
Her mom always put work before anyone that includes her own daughter. I don't think the news channel ever even found that that one of the most famous fencer in Korea was the news caster's daughter. Pretty wild lol her mom was something else lol
The show is so well written though. All characters are amazing and super likeable. You get to know and love everyone

The FL here is super likeable, funny and caring and good ML as well.
He can actually act when the materials required him to.

The SFL is also good. Though, I didn't like her at first but as her story progressed , I learned more about her and her struggles and she ended becoming very likeable after she solved her issues with the FL and she got a happy ending. So, for people looking for a good or cliché relationship. There you go. I loved that she kept losing to the FL ??

I would definitely revisiting this show again in the future. I saw some people skipping last two episodes don't do that. You won't get the full story if you do.
It's not a sad ending, it is the perfect ending.
10/10

Great story, concept and executed almost perfectly

This is a really good show.
I liked the concept and the direction of the show.
Well directed and acted by everyone including young child actors.
Story about love and family.

The leads are really good. I liked the FL more. Since she had to carry the show. She played her character as very straight forward and on your face type of character and I loved it. Makes sense though, she had lived so many lives and got no time for nonsense lol she's also tall. When she talked to one character in the beginning I was damn, she's tall ?

She can be funny and charming. She asked the ML if he wanted to date her on the first episode lol though she was trying to get him to remember but still funny
The ML is good here and he gets the job done. I didn't hate him not sure if he has much range though

And of course, the secondary couple is a will they, won't they type of story.
The second FL seems to always play best girl. I wanna see her in more things. She always seems to play very sweet and lovable characters
As an anime fan, it's nice to see a reincarnation story done well here.

Some nitpicks: The hotel subplot about turning it into something like its former glory seems forgotten by the writers lol.
Oh also, there's a drake song, instrumental version that keeps playing randomly lol
It was weird and distracting.
I think I'll watch this again but probably in 2 years or so lol
Oh funny notes: I think it's funny that 99% of her past lives were Koreans
Definitely would be nice to see other people represented besides that one Spanish couple. Hey, better than nothing. That beef stew she made looked amazing and hope the actor actually liked it ?

Funny af and charming but felt it ended too soon, needed more episodes

This show is super funny with amazing casts and even has a person of color there. A Korean actor who was born in Bangladesh, I liked that no one made any deal about it. He was just like everyone else
Also he had so many funny lines. That's your bias and that's a stereotype bits were so funny.
But episode 1 of this show is bad lol, boring but if you can get past that then you'd love the show too
I love the leads here as well. The FL is super charming and funny and she had great chemistry with the ML, who sometimes got on the FL nerves a lot and always so fun to watch. But I feel like the show really ended way too soon. When I reached episode 12, I was like wait.. is that the finale wtf. Lol

They really could have used at least 16 episodes.
There are so many stuff that really left unanswered but it is a bitter sweet ending. See you tomorrow ?
The 2nd FL is amazing af. Her reactions to stuff and her lines delivery are always so funny and she's super charming. She has great chemistry an) with the 2nd ML but she friend zoned him so hard in one episode, I was laughing nonstop.
There's a 3rd couple, well second to be honest since the second leads didn't actually get together.
I was surprised they paired two leads together. Since he appeared to be much older than her but that third couple was just there, there weren't any development for them. I did like the actress though

Overall I loved the show, very fun and snappy dialogues and quirky characters. Also the end credit was nice. All of them singing the name of the show. So cute.

One of the funniest rom com out there. Watch it!!!

I think I find one of the funniest rom com so far.
Absolutely amazing.
The leads here are so funny and so likebale and reliable.
How they met is so funny and random.
Sure there are few cliche stuff here and there but it's not enough to bring the show down.
Only cliche things are how they ended up going to the same therapy doctor and lived next door to each other. Sure that can happen in real life but super slim lol
But you gotta have a show so writers had no choice.
Other that, I love everyone here and I love the humor and the chemistry between the leads.
The FL is here specially is so great. She also had some really messed up stuff that happened to her with her ex( very disturbing stuff) a very violent guy.

This show really delt with some really dark stuff but they find a way to balance everything with humor and characters developments
There are online hate, physical and domestic violence, drugging on this show.
Both leads have their own problems they are dealing with.
But the FL had it the worst since she had to live a completely different life in order to get away from her abuser and of course, since the family is powerful he managed to get out of jail and found her again anyway.
He poisoned her dog, and drugged her. Crazy stuff

Also, this show also handled a transgender/cross dresser character so well with the most respect you'd see on TV.
I was definitely surprise. She was definitely a third lead if you will.
How the neighbors treated her at first and how the ML responded to the harassments and all the bad comments. How they said the value of the place would go down if people find out there's a cross dresser living there btw, didn't happen since people don't care about other people business like that. Everyone is just trying to go by
How later you found out more about him or her, he or she not just a cross dresser. He or she has is own life, computer programmer stuff.
Won't spoil everything lol

There's two villains of this show.
One is the FL ex.
I still think he got off easy. As a guy, I absolutely distaste guys who beat up women. Horrible. She kept begging him not to hit her.
Dude was absolutely the worst thing on the show.
Her mom wasn't any better. Anyway that's too much spoiler

And the second one is a guy that the ML been trying to catch since he's a cop.
I think the story line for the ML were wrapped up way too quickly but I'll let it slide.

What you'd be interested in is the relationship and chemistry between the leads.
Two people who truly hated or couldn't stand each other at first, but slowly opened up to each other and be there for one another.
I'm usually not a fan of breakup before finale episodes I find them too cliche but here, there was a perfectly good reason why she decided to end thing before the finale.

Even with few cliche things here and there. I would still watch this again just to see them together and go at each other throats.
Very funny and well written rom com.

Absolutely a delight, amazing cast and characters but they failed one character

Absolutely loved this series. Amazing leads, from both FL and ML1 and ML2.
FL lead is super charming and likeable and very funny at times. It's funny she was called ugly in beginning of the show even her ugly makeup, she was still a very cute girl.
It is predicable though but it is expected with these type of kdramas.
I've enjoy everyone from the cast, seems like everyone really had great chemistry. Honestly, I would have been fine if she ended up with either ML
Since she had chemistry with both. That's usually hard to pull off. I'm guessing the actress is likey so much fun to work with.
I've had issue with one Female character I liked in the beginning but as the show progressed, they turned her into a villain and she became so easy to root against and hated.
She was such a bad ass character. She ruined all her image and almost her life for a guy who clearly said many times he didn't like her, he has a girlfriend and only saw her as a friend.
She decided to ruin her friendship with the FL, ended being the worst pos ever put on TV.
Worst part, it took her like 3 years to apologize.
When they decided to bring her back to the show. I just didn't care one bit.
Which is a shame since I do love cool and bad ass female characters from dramas
But anyway, I think this show is definitely my third favorite show after a business proposal and it's OK to not be OK.
When you have amazing set of characters it is very easy for your show to be so loved and successful
Oh almost forgot about the best friendzone character in the show.
ML2. He did everything he could to get the girl and even waited for 3 years
He could have turned into a scambag at the end but he knew he really didn't have a chance or never had any. So he decided to work on himself and try to move on.
Oh, lastly one crazy relationship was the FL older sister and the teacher.
She was the most forward woman I've ever seen in my life lol
I'm not sure if he was scared of her and decided to say yes to everything or was he really in love with her.
That relationship was something lol
Anyway review way too long.
I definitely would watch this again just because how amazing Everyone are.
Earned its 9.5

Started super strong ended up being boring with very crappy Korean drama trope

I think someone here mentioned this show should have ended at episode 14 I think he or she was right. Because they ramped up the drama when it wasn't neeed.
His mom found him after years apart and because she had some accident and stuff that's where they should have stopped, we found out exactly what happened and there wasn't anything more needed to be added.

But of course, they had to add that his lover's mom was the one who dropped him at the adaption agency because she was having hard time with bills but there's more, of course the FL met the ML when they were little which means they were meant to be together and stuff.

I couldn't believe they had to throw that in there.
There was no need to add the FL mom was the one who dropped him at adaption agency and they knew each other as kids.
I'm tired of these shows that add random unnecessary drama. I was rolling my eyes and I also guessed it miles away too.
Last few episodes felt very exhausting to get through.

Everyone here is great though.
The FL lead is always nice to look that. She's very elegant and her acting skills are pretty good.

The ML is also good.
He got good chemistry with the FL
He's not boring and he got screen presence.
If they didn't do that lame trope at the last two episodes. It would have gotten better score.

I don't think I'd watch this again but since I do love the FL in what's wrong with secretary Kim. I've decided to give this one a try.

OK drama and very boring at times

I've finished this one. I have to say, I wasn't a fan.
I love the FL in touch your heart but here she spent the first 6 episodes crying and obsessed over her ex, who also cheated on her, she caught him by episode 2. Then she spent the next 5 episodes crying over him, got drunk and even went to his house and begged him to take her back.
I understand this is a drama however, I just don't see how she would be fine being with someone who betrayed her trust. Not only that, he didn't even feel bad about it. She's supposed to be a love couch and she knew damn well he's not sorry.
She had to move on.
If they were trying to have a realistic break up, this wasn't the way to do it.
She later on even went out and had dinner with him and he tried to propose to the FL, just to have the woman who. he was cheating with showed up there.
I really had a lot of issues with this show.
At times also, it is very boring and very slow.
There aren't too many good characters.
The FL is great as always and the ML is just OK. I don't think this dude is a great actor. He's not bad either but he's can't really display much range or emotions.
There is a real couple in this show though.
FL best friend. She's married and their relationship is the best part of the show. Because it feels like a real couple. They had their ups and downs through out the show and it felt really genuine.

Also, there's also an inappropriate couple as well. A young intern with the ML best friend( the boss)
I'm surprised he didn't turn the whole thing down when he found him she like him but instead they doubled down. She looks very young like mid 20s and he looks 40 at least.
I didn't care for the relationship since it was very manner but still weird.
One thing I liked about the show is how it opened.
With a guy and girl who bumped into each other. You'd think it was gonna be the main leads right? but no
Just ML with his soon to be ex.
It was a good red herring.
Because these drama, they always have the leads be like they met when they were little or something

He actually first met the FL at a random wedding. Which I liked better.
Will I remember this show tomorrow? Probably not.
I didn't hate anyone and I didn't really like or care anyone either.
I decided to finish it since I started it
Hope the FL picks better projects going forward. I think she shines more when her casts and people around her have good chemistry and charisma

Oh btw, the writers forgot that she got scammed lol she was supposed to get back 48 million won. Around 36k American dollars.
But the writers forgot about this plot ????

Very Little romance in this. Romance is definitely a bonus here

I enjoyed this show for what it was.
Pretty decent story about people that love books.
The FL here is absolutely amazing. She went through a lot and she smiled, danced and dabbed? and took everything like a boss. However,the writters really have forgotten that they gave her a kid..

She really was like fk them kids lol. She mentioned her kid like 3 times throughout the whole series. All she focused on was her work and falling for her like a brother boyfriend lol

Speaking of boyfriend, the ML really forced her into liking him as more than a friend or a brother. She really had no interest in him. He really pushed her to it. I don't think they should have been together.
The chemistry wasn't there between them
Maybe it's just age gap but he always comes up as a little kid next to her for some reason lol
I liked the second FL as well. She's very charming and lovable and deserved to be happy after she spent like 3 years crushing over the ML.
The story is more about writers and books rather than the romance part
Because the leads took forever to get together and it wasn't natural at all
Also there's one character here, she hated the FL for no reason just because she was latened, she stole her ideas . I wasn't a fan of her even though around but meh
Plus the forgotten kid story line and sloppy writing, made this drama a very mid drama.

Just OK

This gotta be my least favorite drama I've watched so far.
I kept watching because I thought it would get better but never really did.
The concept is something but it was poorly executed.
I loved the FL in crash landing on you but here, I don't think she has much personality here. She's sometimes funny and adorable but I think she needs to pick better projects next time.

I think she would be far more better against a ML who had charisma and funny. The ML is is not that good either.
He and the FL didn't have much chemistry at all.
I'm not sure why she even fell in love with him. Just because she could see the future doesn't mean that future should be absolute and he was a jerk throughout most of the show.

The ML is fairly older than the the FL although not that much. It seems like they knew it might be awkward so they came up with a system for them not to kiss much lol but they had some few kissing scenes here and there though.
But them as a couple absolutely didn't know specially since he has been a jerk for more than half of the episodes to her.

There isn't anyone here who stands out. Everyone is just OK.
No one is charming or funny.
No one is interesting.

Also episode 11 and 12 are awful.
The end of episode 12 was so laughably bad.
Both leads ended up acting so comical and weird just because they lost their powers
I'm not sure what they were even trying there. I just couldn't believe my eyes. They kept yelling at each other and acted out of characters.

It really dragged on with some stupid back stories and tropes that I really hate.
Random murderer /killer or whatever. The leads knew each other when they were little and stuff, just Stupid.

There's one actress I really liked in this show. It's the chick that's after the ML. I think she should have been the lead instead of the FL even though I like the FL. She's 38 btw. Absolutely stunning woman.
But the other actress definitely would have made the show more fun.
I definitely won't remember this show tomorrow.

The most amazing show I've seen so far and my first 10

What can I say about this show? Absolutely amazing.
Everyone fits their roles perfectly.
There's no silly love triangle, no characters making bad decisions
We have some characters you might hate but they also have great stories behind them.
This show is really well written as well along side with some amazing characters, specially the women.

If you are looking for strong females characters either from the FL, her two best friends. All of them are super likeable.
I really thought her office bestie was gonna be a total scumbag she found out that the ML likes the FL but to my total surprise, she moved on quick and even told the FL pursuits him. She moved on, because she's an amazing friend. Funny , she's called the angel by the other FL bestie. Totally fits her since her character definitely brings the best people. Hope she finds true love next season and with that other attorney. He got this.

But all praises have to go to the FL since she has to carry the show and acted like she has autism which isn't easy to do.
She's very charming and funny either intentional or not.
She's amazing.
The ML is good too but I wouldn't say the show has a ML although there's a love interest but that's not really the main reason the show was made.
It is truly a court drama show.
He did get job done. It is super hard to love anyone with any disabilities and the show portraited that well. Everyone deserves to be loved but it is never easy.
I'm very happy there's a season 2 coming since I think the finale felt kinda rushed with many stuff unsolved.
But I'm definitely gonna miss these characters.

Read More

Great concept but writers aren't good enough to execute it.

I think I liked this show?
I'm not sure if I do really hence the question mark lol
I think the ML had one expression through the whole thing. I can't tell when he's happy, sad, mad, nothing.
He looks like he's sleep walking or looking like an Asian vampire from twilight lol


FL is great and she got some decent range but the show said she's the most beautiful woman ever but the ML sister is definitely the prettiest on the show lol but whatever.

As for the story, it is not executed well.
It is very boring and not that interesting most of the time. Since the concept of changing doesn't really has any real plot or any reasons since she's usually herself before the episodes ended lol
Most they have done is just changed her into some random person and went on some side quests.
I think in hands of better writers and directors the whole concept would have worked better.
The finale was pretty good for the first 40 mns then it turned into a recap episode at the end.
So he's cured and she's gonna keep turning into random people people every week.
Romantic right? Lol
7/10 since i can't decide if I like this or not.
I think only few people are likeable in this show. 2 or 3 side characters.


Oh I didn't mention the ML sister much but since she was mean to his brother only because she didn't know about his condition
I hated her first but ended up liking her a lot. She had that no bs way of her.
That's it. This was just a side note lol

Decent drama with the most non charismatic male lead ever

The FL of this show is what saved this pretty average drama.
The story is OK and felt like it dragged on forever. Like many said, you need to try and push through it specially the middle of the show.
There isn't really any plot really. There's some side or attempted of court drama but usually it ended within the next scene.
The ML like holy crap. Good thing, this is fantasy or kdrama there's no way this beautiful woman or any women for that matter would fall for this guy.
He's just bland, he's not funny, he came across way too awkward in most scenes not sure what they were going here but it didn't work
There's no chemistry between him and the female lead.
She's very fun, funny, outgoing, always trying her best to make him laugh or trying to get his attention but my dude was just miscast. I'm sure they were going for the all serious and no nonsense type of lead but he came across to me as just the most lame and boring. She needed someone who can bounce back off her and he wasn't that.
It is super unrealistic that the FL( a successful actress in the show that is that's what she's playing) would ever fall for that dude.
I think the drama was really boring at times and no plot.
The Last 3 episodes felt like they ran out of stories but since they had to get 16 episodes out so they had to add 3 more episodes.
Really this show definitely overstayed its welcome.
8/10 since I liked the FL and the show started so fun and charming

Pretty decent drama, just by the numbers

I've enjoyed this show. It is well put together and the main leads and side characters are good as well.
You don't see older women with young (ish) couples on TV.
She's like 50 ish and he's like 39 or even younger when this was made.
She's a great actress though. She also has a great action movie as well.
I've had some issues with the show there are only one good mom on this show lol
And that's the lead and she's the aunt lol.
Every parents are horrible because they need only care about themselves even though they know many kids are off themselves because of how hard they have to study. I'm sure it's a Korean culture thing but still horrible.
I never liked any of the parents they are all horrible
There also some serial killer plot and It didn't seem like it was needed and the explanation for why he turned into a psycho didn't make any sense and I didn't care for it.
Also he killed a girl in like episode 2 or 3 and that never got brought up or even reported.
I really couldn't believe they just moved on to the next episode without mentioning it
I don't think the leads had much chemistry though. I really think they needed to spend more time together even though it seemed like they did but still think they needed more time.
But I don't think I'll re watch this or even remember this drama
Didn't come out not really like or hate anyone.
