Thanks a lot! Glad to know my opinion was helpful :)
Honestly same here, that's why I kinda like spoilers, they prepare me for what is gonna happen in the drama so that I will know if it's worth it or not. I also don't really understand why many people like these characters tropes/type of plots, I mean they are free to do so of course, but I just don't get it personally. Seeing many people overhype these dramas, then I watch them and I struggle to see the grand things that others be talking about.

Thanks a lot! Glad to know that is your opinion and I did post it as review, I guess from now on I will make sure to post reviews for most dramas I watch so that like you said others can always read my opinions and hopefully benefit from them.

Okay, watched two episodes only so far and well the FL is adorable and has some nice dresses. She is being a bit too desperate though at times (While saying she doesn't has ulterior motives to him, clearly showing him she is lying), but seeing it from another point of view, I guess it's nice to have the woman being the bold one who goes after the guy for a change. She is supposed to be sickly, yet she runs and jumps around normally, why is her mother overreacting then?!

Also I cringed a lot in both episodes due to the forced fanservice (The ML I mean), we know he is hot, it's painfully obvious we aren't blind, no need to have so many scenes and close shots of his neck when he drinks water and pours it over his head, muscles, or him doing DIY wood stuff. It felt like I was watching a western romance movie or music video from the 90's honestly, which isn't a bad thing I dig retro concept and vibes, and I dig these older decades blah blah yet I still couldn't help but either laugh or feel awkward when they shove his hotness down my throat (I bet the actor was enjoying himself though lmao). I'm not against fanservice in general or anything, we all dig some fanservice and sexy scenes here and there, but not every three minutes and in such an awfully straightforward way.

The filming sets, cinematography, and overall vibe are beautiful though (Even that cat is gorgeous), so I will keep watching till the end and the leads look nice together which is another bonus, hope things don't keep getting more and more cringe and that the plot doesn't get utterly stupid or dramatic in illogical way (Which will probably happen judging by the title of the drama and the tags ugh) later.

According to some comments and the tags there is supposed to be age gap, how many years older is he in the plot? He doesn't seem that old to me, I thought he is supposed to be like 30 something while she is in her early 20s. I personally highly dislike huge age gaps, but as long as he isn't more than like 10 years older or so than her I guess I can handle it, especially since he doesn't look old.

Yeah I also instantly remembered Lee Soo Hyuk from Tomorrow when watching Park Sang Nam in Heavenly Idol. About Kim Seon Ho, is it the lips? He doesn't look very similar to him, but indeed there is a little bit of resemblance.

Oh, I never posted a review before but I guess I should do that indeed! Thanks!

Simple: They did seem to try their best to create a strong and confident FL who is able to fight...etc right?

Yet they make her constantly talk about how all men are untrustworthy, playboys, cheaters, misogynic...blah blah that how many people assume what is feminism is about, women wanting all men on planet earth to suffer and die, which is not.

They also liked to make her scream all the time, behave in a very crazy and even disturbing ways at times, beat up people left and right, harass the ML over a misunderstanding instead of handling the situation in a more mature way...etc which again make it clear they don't really understand how a strong woman should actually be like sadly.

The reason you don't see it easily is cause they did also make many of the guys sexist and bad so it feels as if they are being fair by making both sides trash, but the more you think about it, still the ML is a better and more likeable character than the FL in this scenario (But he himself is ass and misogynic. Though at least he doesn't wander around beating the shit out of every woman he sees or stalks them like FL does with men). FL is someone I personally would rather not interact with in real life at all.

Exactly! They make feminists seem like crazy and cruel bitches all the time.

Ikr! He is so hot and seeing him in all black (I love dark/goth style) in The Heavenly Idol was just a feast for my eyes lol

Thank you! lol

It's been long since I watched an adult rom com Kdrama that is this wholesome, chill, realistic, straightforward, and funny. The FL was awfully likeable and sweet (Yeah she does start as kinda stuck up and whiny, but changes greatly pretty quick. Besides I related to her about being impatient and caring a lot about honesty in relationships), I loved all of her outfits too, especially that pink one, the white dress, and green & red dress in eps 12 and 13, they fit her perfectly. Everyone's style overall was nice.

Both the main and second male leads were a 10/10 boyfriend materials, I would be okay if FL chose to be with 2nd male lead too which is rare (Only other Kdrama were I also loved both the male leads along with the FL was True Beauty), since most of time only one of the male leads will be super likeable while the other will be a total jerk, or the FL will be annoying as heck and unworthy of both of the male leads' attention.

The main leads here had very strong and natural chemistry so it felt like watching an actual couple goofing around and being grossly lovey dovey, I did feel jealous not gonna lie. Their way of behaving mostly after they became a couple luckily wasn't painfully cringe for their ages, just moderate level, FL did get quite childish at times, but it wasn't irksome, just amusing. I think I will add them to my top 10 straight couples list. I just dig healthy adult couples <3 the marriage proposal scene killed me, love it when for a change the girl propose first, but his reaction was hilarious.

They all handled their feelings in a very healthy and mature way, confessed straightforwardly and simply. The upbeat friendship between male leads was adorable to see (I highly admired how Director Ji decided to stay friends with ML and treated him normally even after knowing him and FL are into each other instead of turning into a bitter prick), also I liked how that FL decided to reject him instantly after ML told her he liked her back, instead of letting him have false hopes for days and gave the luck charm back. At least 2nd ML still had another woman who cared for him.

The town people were also pretty funny and likeable (Maybe except that Chinese restaurant lady whom I wished would go completely mute at some point lol, but apart from her everyone else were cool). The FL had a very cute and strong friendship with her bestie which was also great to see since in many dramas female relationships gets ruined and they stab each other in the back all the time by them fighting over guys and crap of the sort. I even enjoyed the romance between the awkward police dude and FL's friend. The OSTs were pretty good.

The FL's parents were sweet as well (Glad her father approved of ML and regretted the crap he said about him, he was a decent father and her step mother was decent as well, even though lots of times they like to make step parents evil as hell). The town looks beautiful, wouldn't mind living there myself honestly, and the overall cast were great, the main leads are really good looking (Especially ML, not gonna lie I have a crush on this actor now since I'm really weak to hot guys with gorgeous smiles and sexy manly voices).

Of course there were some typical clichés like:

1- The main leads meeting each other before as kids, teens, and even back when ML wanted to commit suicide she saw him (The whole fate bullshit).

2- Them having tragic past stories is also a huge cliché. Like why are Asians obsessed with making everyone orphans??! Even in anime 80% of MCs have both/one of their parents dead or have messed up/abusive/neglectful parents and cursed family tree. ML here had everyone he cared about die, his parents, his grandfather, Ms. Gam Ri, the man whom he viewed as an older brother (Who happened to be the director's cousin husband to add salt to the wound), there was also the whole thing about that dude's paralyzed father, I was expecting the FL to die as well to complete the cycle lmao that was just overly dramatic and depressing!

Loved how everyone freaking said all that shit was Du Sik's fault, like that dude's father made the choice to risk his money without talking to him first and paid the price for it, Du Sik tried his best to help them financially too. The director's brother in law made the choice to drive the car that day, and yet ML had to handle all the burden for years and even got blamed for everything...yeah they were heartbroken so they lashed out on him and basically made up with him later, but it's still unfair. That whole part just pissed me off.

3- The town people being a bit retarded and weird at first (In this type of shows the town people always start as backwarded and judgmental assholes for some reason then turn into very likeable people afterwards).

4- Also I didn't give two fucks about the love triangle between the Zone chief, Village chief, and that teacher.

5- The ML getting hurt while protecting the FL from some criminal maniac or perverted bastard, male leads always have to play the hero role and save the damsel in distress.

6- That childbirth scene...love how that woman easily gave birth without filling the whole bed, her own clothes, and the FL clothes with blood and sometimes even poop...etc they make childbirth seem like you just pull the baby out of the damn vagina cleanly and that's it, in reality the dentist's bedroom would look like a homicide scene, with blood and horrifying sights everywhere, especially since she gave birth in a house and in a rushed manner instead of a hospital so it will be more messy.

7- The main leads hiding their relationship for a while, I mean I get that yes the town people would tease them to death, but still like ML said they will end up knowing anyways so what's the point of them acting as if they are having an affair and then FL ends up hitting/slapping the ML whenever someone sees them being romantic by accident, that was a bit too cringe and rude for my liking and I felt sorry for him.
Finding out that everyone already knew yet they all decided to punish them by separating them for some time till they admit it themselves was golden though. But all said clichés weren't much of a big deal in the end, and I forgot about them later due to how good the drama was.

8- The ads were so in your face lol, I get they are important and all, but they always get me a bit out of the mood.

Another thing, Bo Ra...why is that kid's hair dyed?! I mean I do dig hair dye and all, and would love to try many colors myself, but a child that awfully young having her hair dyed was just odd, first time seeing a child like that in an Asian drama for me especially since that in Asia they seem to mostly hate dyed/bright unnaturally colored hair, even adults would get judged sometimes for it (Unless they are celebrities) and they ban it in many schools there. I think it makes sense to at least wait till someone is a teenager then try such things, hair dye is toxic and can lead to the ruin of someone's hair if used too much, so kids need to stay away from chemicals as long as possible be it dye or beauty cosmetics/creams to give their bodies a chance to grow properly. No need to rush lol

The revelation about that teacher being a lesbian was surprising, never guessed the reason she never bothered with relationships was due to her being gay, that was a bit depressing since her family didn't approve of it and treated her like a maniac, even forcing her to leave the town to stay away from the girl she liked. Then she gets confessed to by the guy who got married to her first love, that all was just choatic as heck! I didn't care about the love triangle, but still felt sad about the teacher being that miserable, at least the zone chief didn't discriminate against her.

Anyways this drama was a 10/10 for me, I binged it in like four days, it's highly rewatchable (Although I rarely rewatch stuff), and a great way to cheer up my mood and relax (As long as you forget about the awfully sad two last episodes, the ending is happy for everyone though).

Exactly my thought. I don't care if he had a change of heart or whatever later, he is just so creepy, rude, and toxic I hated the main leads in the end thanks to him!

Oh, it's western lol was wondering why I didn't hear of it if it was Asian. I will check it out!

Lol glad to know that and nice to meet you too <3

I don't know about Zombie Detective since I didn't watch it, but I could tell from the second episode of Heavenly Idol that there will be romance between Rembrary and Kim Dal and I'm fine with it. I like her as a character so I rolled with it and so far the romance is decent too.

There is a drama called fleabag?! Lmao is it bad or good overall?

I agree! I hate when the characters fall in love too quickly and then be willing to die for each other as if they were in love for 2000 years when they only interacted for like a month or less lmao making the romance as chill and realistic as possible is nice.
Also since he was kind of a priest in his original world, obviously he wouldn't be that experienced when it comes to love affairs like a freaking playboy.

FL is likeable which is nice, she is a fan but she isn't crazy like a ssassang or whatever they are called. About the pouting part, many Asian actresses do that shit which irks me a lot not gonna lie, I don't even find it cute when kids do it, let alone adults.

I found it odd as well that in his original world nothing serious seemed to happen after him going to earth, and that on earth the evil one is just messing with him like a toy instead of just killing his ass instantly. But I am mostly focused on the whole idol thing, and how they actually show how fake and tedious some idols personalities are in real life and how shitty the idol world overall can be behind the scenes.

Okay so this was one of the shittiest movies I have ever watched since the day I was born. The fact that this shit is so hyped to the point that I was convinced to watch the live action movie and even considered to watch the anime (Which has 76 episodes or so for fucks sake) and the anime movie, is just...tragic to me lol I mean if others view this crap as good and enjoyable, I guess sure that's their right but to me it was just gross as hell. It totally felt as if the writer was trying their best to win the award of most toxic romance plot in human history by how many fucked up things they added to the story.

1- We got the creepy and crazy parents. I mean they want to get divorce and remarry? That's cool and all, power to them, they don't need to force themselves to be miserable if divorce gonna make them happier.
They are friends with the other couple and very chill around them? That's also fine, better than everyone hating each other I suppose. Now the issue is: Them basically forcing the whole "lets live together in the same fucking house and act all lovey dovey and happy go lucky in front of our damn kids" part and the fact that the kids couldn't really do anything about it.

Like no matter how open minded and chill you are, there is no way you will be open minded enough to be okay with daily watching both your parents act all romantic and cheery with other people in front of you...and to make it worse, the other couple tries hard to act all close with the FL/Miki even after she made it clear she wasn't okay with what was happening. I'm not saying they should be cold with her, but not try so hard to shove themselves down her throat, she clearly needed some time to accept the whole thing, but they went overboard with trying to make it all seem normal that it became creepy to death.

If I was in the kids' place at that point I would be like "You do you and all, but let me live alone in a dorm or whatever till I become an adult and then find an apartment or something, I'm not gonna force myself to handle seeing you all be creepy in front of me, so leave me alone and do what makes you happy away from me. Don't shove your desires down my throat please" cause I do believe the parents deserve to be happy, but they also should be mindful of their kids opinions and needs.

Also the fact that (Was it the FL's mother) one of the wives told the FL to not fall for Yuu when they just moved in and I was like really? Is that something you should be saying to your daughter? Like it's both insulting and gross thing to say.

And the fact that the parents are so chaotic, Yuu reached a point were he thought his father wasn't his real father and all that drama...imagine being so irresponsible and odd that your kid thinks he isn't really your kid, that's just depressing.

2- The whole romance between the two leads was utterly gross, first of: Why are Asians obsessed with plots about incest (I know in this movie's case they aren't related, I'm talking overall) and step/adoptive siblings love stories????!!! Like why? Why do they need to be related somehow or have their parents married to each other? Can't the leads just treat each other like normal siblings and move on? So just cause you live with another person of opposite sex (Or same sex in BL's shows case), it means you must want to fuck at some point?! Are they are animals?!

To add insult to the injury, later they suspect they might actually be related by blood, and what do they do? Face their parents saying "Oh, we know we might be related, but you know what? Fuck it, we will still date cause that's love!" like really?! Also when the hell did their "true love" reach that level where it's so strong to the point they don't care about being siblings?

They interacted for like a month? Maybe less and then they are willing to die for each other out of the blue?! That was so forced, it became laughable honestly, and it only reminded me that they are just retarded teens (I know not all teens are retarded, but they are always retarded in these shows for some reason) so of course they will be immature as heck...I'm sorry but I wasn't sold on their romance bullshit. But I guess since their parents are mentally ill, the kids will also have issues obviously.

There was also a scene were Miki supposedly was passed out in the nurse office and then Yuu comes in and decides to kiss her while she pretended to be sleep, that was after the other dude publicly confessed his feelings to her, and well...that also bothered me a lot. Kissing someone, who isn't even your lover when they are unconscious is just...not a good thing to do. Then after she falls for Yuu, there a moment when he is like "I don't like you anymore, so leave me alone" all of a sudden...so to cut it short, I hated both the leads. They both were annoying to me.

3- Now for the third disgusting and problematic subplot romance, the one between Miki's retarded friend and her teacher. Like why did they add that as well? As if the plot wasn't already filled with tons on issues they decided to challenge themselves even more by adding a messed up romance between a minor student and her damn creepy teacher.

I don't care how awful Miki's friend life story/past/family is, that doesn't mean she should go chase after adult creepy men who also happen to be her fucking teacher, and that damn teacher should have his teaching license taken away and should be thrown in jail, like how can you view your minor students like that, she isn't even a college student (Which in that case would be way less disturbing, although personally I also would never date my college teacher, even if they aren't that old, but at least college students are adults so it less illegal), nope a minor!

So everyone in the plot had serious mental issues and we were supposed to view the plot as romantic, cute, and funny somehow...

Now for other things that I disliked about the movie:
1- Camerawork was kinda odd.
2- Movie was way longer than it should be for such a plot.
3- acting was meh at best, especially the FL, her acting was stiff as a mannequin half of the time.
4- The ex girlfriend of Yuu was obsessive and annoying, and her existence didn't serve the plot at all.

So to cut it short, now I won' bother with the anime at all, and decided to give this movie 1/10 (Only because you can't actually give a 0 rating in this website for some reason). I know it's fiction, but it being a fiction doesn't excuse the plot being disturbing and sick. Just like having a fiction plot about a rapist and their victim being all romantic and cute shouldn't be viewed as okay just cause "it's fiction".

I'm cool with the inclusion of forbidden and dark elements in romance, but only if it's done for the purpose of teaching a lesson about how this type of shit shouldn't be okay and should never exist in real life, not romanticize the shit out of it and make it forcibly cute.

You're welcome :)

Exactly! lol I mean I know it's a low budget drama, but still they could do a little bit better than this.

Ikr! Lmao felt more as if they were filming a horror movie or a crime scene and the cameraman was freaking out a little over it.
