You will laugh you your lungs out and cry your eyes out

PUHHHHHLEASEEEEEE. I almost died watching this show like ACTUALLY…I don’t know how many times I bust my lungs watching this show, im pretty sure at some point I even had to bring out inhaler so I wouldn’t suffocate out of laughter. The acting was good especially the female lead. She did such a good job acting out the confused male who couldn’t figure out if he was gay or if the original owner of the body was taking over. The male lead also did amazing with his role. Of course it got serious like it went from being funny as hell to being all gloomy and sad but that’s only for like 2 episodes lol it gets back to being funny

The romance was OMG like I was shooketh and I mean SHOOKETH BEYOND SAVING. My toes were curled the entire time like oml. And when she used the “would you like to eat ramen” o was like ooo~. The kiss scenes were so hot im pretty sure I got burned😳. Like man were they spicy. The chemistry was off the roof and it was all just so cute and all gushy and funny and sad, it was a very well planned roller coaster.

This one is a must watch for everyone, you actually won’t regret it. At first I just watched it to pass time when it first aired but then I actually became so invested like I would be in class waiting for when the next episodes would air, so watch it. And please… DONT DRINK WATER AS YOU WATCH…you might choke of laughter 🤭

This show is just disappointing

ok so we got dumb af characters. to make it short there is a scene where ML is accused of being someone's baby daddy by that someone's monster-in-law. So monster-in-law doesn't like the fact that her son, her only heir, has impregnated a normal woman, mind you that ML is married to FL. And so amidst this conflict and scandal the ,ale lead is encouraged by people to take a DNA test, which brings us to the future where u see identity problems again. So rich heir son and ML are trying to figure out who FL's half bro is, like plsssssssssss how u gonna determine that someone is your long lost child based
on a story WE HAVE DNA TEST FOR A REASON LIKE- so the pair goes on to find clues which makes us views think back to how easier and short all of this would have been if they had just taken a strand of his hair like THEY GOT FOOLED ONCE because they chose to trust a story that half bro told his friends instead of trusting science.


Oh and don't get me started on how unlucky FL is like did she offend the Lord in her last life or something? there was not an episode where someone did not get harassed/attacked/chased/or kidnapped, whats even dumber is that they never even reported to the police like even my 6 yr old sister knows that in those situations you call the police. ML kept saving her n kept telling her he loved her n she never thought to return it at all.....I got called crazy by how mad this show made me.

It hurt my soul to write this review.

I am an avid Song Kang fan. I have been keeping up with his shows for God knows how long and I honestly can’t find an expression to describe how disappointed I am in this drama.

I was majorly excited just like the rest of us. But as the show went on, I found that I was only watching to just to finish it and not enjoy it. As of the current, I can’t say that I’m watching it. I’m just skipping through and occasionally stopping at any interesting occurrences. Onto the rating.

Story- 7.0
The story had some major potential and they really could have took a lot more impressive routes that would be long lasting in the audience’s minds far beyond the current plot. The story lacks essence. At first glance you are reminded of ‘Doom at your Service’ and maybe ‘Goblin’, but what sets these drama’s apart from this one is the essence and originality they carried. All we are given is the surface of the characters. We never really get to know, love, and appreciate them outside the fact they are the main characters. Most of the reason why half the people love the leads is because of the visuals. I did too, but that’s not enough for me to look at fl and feel sorry for her about the fact that her adopted family hates her. I don’t know y they hate her so I can’t make any assumptions. we don’t KNOW her as well as we know the fl in let’s say DAYS(doom at your service). relationships or even her life outside the main lead box r never properly established.

acting- 6.5
As for the cast, I have nothing to say. I too have fallen prey to Song Kang’s tantalizingly visuals. But what I do have to deconstruct is the acting. The veteran actors absolutely ate this drama up and made it enjoyable outside of the main lead scene. The leads however…did not deliver as much as they normally would. Both are amazing actors. Jve watched both of their previous dramas and their performances actually moved me. I don’t know what happened in this drama, although I do think the script was to blame, some of the scenes felt forced and awkward. Forget the scenes where ml is sparkling and fl has a halo above her head. I’m talking about how Guwon transitions from serious to cute. Where he’s on fire. I can name a lot. Something about some those scenes felt like needles in my brain because it was awkwardly painful and the switch was too sudden and made me feel uncomfortable watching. The scenes would have been cute if they were appropriate for the time section. I think the random sprinkles of him watching attention or just being cute in general was the writer’s way of distracting the audience from the plot holes and major offs of the drama.

I could go off and write an even longer critique of why this show just wasn’t as it as I expected it to be but this isn’t a college essay so I’ll stop. However I do have to say that if the main leads were different…this show would not have had this much of a chance in the spotlight. It may have just been a show we use as a filler for time. But since we have the leads, I guess soaking up some eye candy isn’t so bad.

Creation of relationships was absolutely nonexistent

I had such high hopes for this drama even after I read the synopsis. I thought it would be a ‘fl’s sister dies and she comes back a year or two later revenge’ type of thing, but no. The get married after what feels like a week after the sister died. I won’t lie, the only good thing this drama had, was a good cast, but even then it still flopped.

Okay so we got fl sister who is married to ml. She dies and fl is mad so she goes ml and tells home to marry her because he doesn’t believe his mother killed his wife. I understand the intention on fl’s part, but the main thing was why wouldn’t ml believe fl even when he knew his mother’s manipulation streak. Set that aside, did he even love his wife? For someone who claimed to love her, he was the only one at her funeral who seemed to not be grieving over her death. He went home, asked his mom about the accusations, and slept without even shedding a tear or showing any signs that he even cared about her death. He had moved on from her death hours after her funeral.

Now his actions send us into the marriage part. Which kind of dumbass would really do this? And like ml’s mother even ask the question, “his wife just died and he married her sister ?” I’m sorry what? I was absolutely disgusted from this whole situation and to make matters worse, ml started flirting with fl which was completely inappropriate considering the fact that not much time had passed since sister’s death and they were both supposed to be in the grieving process….that is if ml ever loved his wife in the first place.

Next, drama’s shouldn’t put babies on screen if the can’t understand how to operate them. How the hell is baby supposedly attached to his father when his father was basically nonexistent for most of his life and when daddy dearest dies decide to come back, all he does is hold the baby, kisses it, doubles it and gives it to the next person. Not one scene is shown of this man actually spending his time with his son apart from just kissing him, like I get they are trying to show that he loves his kid but like, there are so many other actions that are needed in order to identify as a good father and one his baby is fond of. What happens to playing with the kid? Oh he kisses it, it starts crying, he give it the care taker. Lmao I don’t even understand how he had a relationship with his kid to the point where people went “ oh I think he misses his dad”. How can he when all dad does is kiss him once and then hand over the next person, how is there any space for an intimate father/son relationship.

I won’t get really into the unrealistic forgiveness plots, or the unresolved problems, or the fact that now fl and ml’s mother are suddenly besties. What I will tell you is that get ready for a very long ride full of nonsensical nonsense. For every episode I watched, I thought it’d get better in the next. In other words, if you do plan on watching, think of this drama as joke….maybe your brain won’t bleed as much from the stupidity induced brain damage you can suffer from while watching this seriously 🙂

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE DRAMA

Okay so going into the show I thought it was a romantic thriller and for a while it seemed that way since there were like love interests for the fl but no. The ml seems to like to but
then it just looks like he is using her, we never really get to see their relationship as a romantic one.

moreover, I gave it a low rewatching rating because in order to actually enjoy it, you need to be completely clueless so u can go around guessing the culprit together with the characters.

I would have given it a higher rating if the fl and ml had some romance because it seemed like everyone but them did

This is a light drama

The synopsis is already there so I don’t think I need to repeat it but basically we have a clumsy and naive female lead and an emotionless genius male lead. The two perfect ingredients to make your typical cliche drama.
The drama itself was quite good, but it also had its flaws. For example the biggest and flaw was the female lead’s character. I don’t understand how someone can be so dumb and naive in this very time period. I would understand if it was like an ancient Chinese drama but it’s a modern drama. Surely she went out and saw things on tv because what kind of person gets swindled twice by the same tactic ?
The first time it was her cousin and she still trusted him and insisted not to report him when he stole everything she had. The second time she got swindled by some hobo who practically read her the same script her cousin read her. She was willing to get married to an entire stranger when she could have reported it to the police and gotten her money back.
The Acting was quite good, the actors had amazing chemistry and I love how he was so gentle with her. I could really feel feel the love in ML’s voice. The side characters have their own drama and it was quite fun watching them
Overall this drama is quite good if you know you like light dramas with an overall plot of the leads falling in love with each other in every cliche scene the show had(not to mention, bg music plays every time what seems like a romantic scene comes on).
