I almost dropped it but decided not to, and I was wrong.

The first three episodes were kinda interesting, but after that, it just got more and more boring. The only thing I actually liked about the show was how the female characters acted! That’s it. Everything else was poorly written, and seriously, the lead actor's performance? Ugh, it was so bad. This was my first time checking out a drama with Ki Yong, and I don't think I'll be back for more. His acting was just painful to watch—his reactions, his lines, those weird smiles he kept flashing, I ended up skipping like 80% of his emotional scenes 'cause they were just too cringy. Even the scenes with his daughter felt like they were written and acted badly. Honestly, most of the characters were badly written, but the lead? Such a loser dad and human being, zero charm in his character. And don't even get me started on that haircut—ugh!

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this drama. The story started off unique, but the way it ended was just a mess. The scenes were poorly written and made no sense, especially the ending—it was super bad. It's disappointing to see such shoddy writing in a drama in 2024. On the bright side, I really liked how the female lead acted. This is actually the second time I've watched a drama for her, and she really deserves to be in a hit drama and get more recognition.

Such a disappointment

I just finished the drama yesterday and I was super frustrated and disappointed because after all I had high expectations because of the writer Park Hae Young with her Masterpiece drama (My Mister) but I was totally wrong. This drama had few amazing written scenes but most of it was a fail.

First of all, Mr. Gu I never understood him… and I found his character very poor written. even thoughI personally like the actor but this character was a big no. Always looking bored, lost and tired with a mystery past that was not exciting at all nor well explained. Also, his relationship with the FL oh my god… I have never ever hated main couple romance as I hated it in this drama. I almost skipped all of there scenes as I found it very boring, uncomfortable and very weird and not charming at all. I didn’t get their relationship at all and I don’t understand when the love bloomed? I hated watching nonsense so I just skipped it.
Chang hee was my favourite character. His scenes and dialogues were amazing and the actor excellently delivered his emotions, but I unfortunately skipped most of his scenes at the last couple episodes right after the stupid THIME SKIP. I the time skip thing was it necessary? Because actually the last three episodes were a total fail and the writer missed up. Ki Jung was also my favourite character as I found her very relatable outspoken and true to her self… but again why she super unconfident after being with tae hoon? Why all of a sudden would she accept mistreatment from his crazy sister and spoiled daughter? What happneed to the outspoken strong confident woman? I was really angry with how the writer ruined her character and even did not give her a clear proper ending. And tae hoon ahhh don’t even get me started. he promised to marry her when his daughter becomes 20??? and the way he ignores all the stupid things that his sister does to his girlfriend and yet pretending that he is the one who is having a hard time?


I would never watch this drama again and I just gave it 5 for the acting and couple of scenes.

I had a really high expectations on this drama so I am little disappointed.

i just watch Replay 1997 and I really enjoyed it. but everyone kept saying that 1988 is THE BEST among all replay series so I was really excited to watch but I it wasn’t as expected.

◼️What I liked:
- The Acting was 100000/10 everyone nailed it.
- The dialogue between characters were very good and thoughtful, especially the parents.
- I LOVED deok sun so much. she is my favorite character, cute, charming, funny, and surprisingly very caring yo her parents more than bo ra. she deserved to be the best daughter.
- I loved the friendship between the 5 of the gang. all of their scenes together were funny. I never skipped any scenes of them together.
- I felt the strong bonds between family members, I lagged a lot with them and cried a lot.


◼️What I Hated:
- Bo ra attitude. at the beginning of the drama she was soooo annoying and such a bully. I couldn’t tolerate her at all and I was confused why is she yelling all the tome even in front of her parents! at the end the writer tried to makes her more caring and kind but I just was over her.

- unnecessary long scenes. I skipped sooooo many scenes that you can’t even imagine. I’m not that kind of person who skips easily. I really like to enjoy every moment. So when I skip it means it’s sooo boring. I skipped many of sunwoo and bora scenes. I skipped many of parents scenes. it was so boring and I wasn’t interested at all.

- I HATED THE LAST 3 EPISODES. they were a flop.
i hated the time skipping and I hated how everything didn’t makes sense after that. everything was rushed, and how junghwan confession ended up being a joke?????? I wanted to see his interactions with deoksun after that night. I wanted to know how deoksun felt after hearing him. I wanted to know more.

- I liked taek but I just don’t get when did deoksun even started having feelings for him? I mean deoksun is a simple character and her emotions appear on her face and actions… when she’s happy or excited everyone knows…… but a very big thing happens to her but she acts as if nothing happened???? and years goes by and she just confesses by saying she was afraid to tell him the truth????????? I don’t get it. I have waited so much for the moment where deoksuni truly fell in love, and how she experiences the feelings and sharing it with her best friends and who laugh together at their imaginations and share advices together . I waited for all that. but I didn’t get to see any of that. such a disappointment.


Overall, I am glad I watched it, but I don’t think I would rewatch it again.

MI RAN IS JUST AMAZING!

I absolutely loved it!!! So refreshing and incredibly well-done.

Mi-ran was just amazing! Her character was so uniquely strong and kind—a perfect combo. And can we talk about the whole cast? They were all spot-on, like their roles were made for them. Kang Ho was a pleasant surprise for me; it was my first time seeing him in a drama. Did some digging and turns out he's mostly known overseas. Watched a film of his too, and I found him even more charming and lovely here! His real-life story with his wife? Adorable. Total respect for him as a person. His acting was so interesting too—goofy in a good way. I feel like that's probably his real personality shining through: a lovely, loyal lover and kind-hearted guy. He nailed it! But okay, confession time:DO WON JIN STOL MY HEART EVEN MORE !!!! He's just so charismatic and seriously, sooo handsome!!! Yep, his looks initially drew me in, but he's also an awesome friend and manager—super sweet, caring, smart, funny, and a true gentleman. Ugh, can't get enough of him!!!

Overall, loved every minute of this drama except for the last two episodes. The writing took a weird turn and had me cringing hard. I also skipped through a bunch of Mi-ran and Kang Ho's moments—they felt unnecessary to me. So yeah, adored it up until ep8. Definitely going to rewatch it over and over though!

An average one.

I am writing this review right after finishing the last episode. I decided to watch this drama because of Hyun jin (I love her acting), though I didn't like the story because it seemed too much, but I decided to give it a try and yes, overall I can say it was an average drama.

WHAT I ENJOYED:
• Great acting as expected from Hyun jin (FL) plus (ML) and all the actors, they did a good job.
• LEE DA HEE WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THIS DRAMA! She was a character I could relate to and I truly loved how she was changing slightly and realistically. Although at first all she was doing was being rude and mean to the ML, the one time when she was fooled and then started crying in the car calling herself "stupid"... she made me cry. What an impressive acting Lee Da Hee. Good Job. As for her partner, I didn’t like her partner. neither the actor himself nor his character, but I forced myself to watch their scenes because I liked her.
• I loved the friendship between FL and her friends. It was warm watching them comfort each other.
• The OSTS.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
• FL character. I am sorry to say this but I have hated her many times for her attitude. The way she treated her mother was too mich. At one point she literally yelled at her for accepting gifts from ML even though she was dating him?? She also never apologized and but instead she decided to call the ML and complain about her mother ?????? Also, the way she was getting annoyed at the ML before they became a couple, was very childish to me and not cute at all. I'm a little disappointed in HYUN JIN. I think she could have made the character better even if it was poorly written.
• Lack of good writing and very predictable and cheesy plot. I think the drama could have been done in 10 episodes max. The last few episodes have been completely unnecessary.
• l skipped a lot of romantic scenes because I got tired of watching the same lines being repeated over and over.
• The second ML (Ryu Eun ho) was A HUGE FAIL. What's wrong with him??? I knew he is supposed to be the super nice guy but seriously, he was too much. At first he would appear ridiculously in front of Kang-sara every single time and literally every where????? I didn't expect this silly plot to be in 2018 drama. Anyway, and then he constantly flirting with her, but when she starts liking him and confesses her feelings he simply rejected her saying he was just being nice????? Suddenly he falls in love with her and decides to change his dream only for her even though he barely knows her. And after dating each other, she was the one who was acting like the man in the relationship, and he was accepting everything from her without hesitation. He even accepted a car from her and she literally asked his parents to marry him without discussing it with him??? and he accepted it with a smile???? How ridiculous LOL. I mean, you're he is the man here, what's wrong with him.

- I watched “because this is my first life” for the ML so I felt he was somehow similar to his character over there, but maybe he was slightly funnier in this drama.
As for the FL I watched “Another miss oh”and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. That is why I am disappointed in her in this drama.

I didn’t plan to write a long one but I’ll stop here.
I won’t rewatch it again, once is pretty enough.
