This is a very nice romantic comedy that deals with all the dynamics surrounding the male lead that suffers from a neurological condition that renders him unable to recognize faces. The drama offers entertainment and it combines comedy and romance throughout its duration. The leading couple has great chemistry and the second leads are really cute together. The second leading lady, although at moments insufferable, delivers a great comedic element and the leading lady’s brother is hilarious. Although there’s a revenge plot that affects the lives of all involved, the drama is lighthearted and fun to watch. The main and supporting cast did a great job bringing their characters to life. There are some inconsistencies in the drama but, overall, is a good watch. Enjoy it!

This drama is really a 10, my rating for Music and Rewatch Value brings the overall rating down :(
This is a great entertaining comedy that uses the legal system as its setting where the main characters are all related to the judicial system. The main and supporting cast did a great job in bringing these complex characters’ personalities to life. The overall tone of this drama is comedic but it also succeeds in bringing up the humanistic aspects of injustice and its resolutions through the use of the court system. This drama is not focused on any romantic attraction between the lead couple but more on the mutual understanding and respect that developed throughout the duration of the drama gained through a battle of wits and misunderstandings about the male lead that kept coming to light as the drama progresses. Although the antagonists were all bad, selfish, and rotten people to the core, the drama makes light of the circumstances through comedic moments and, at the end, justice is served. Don't look for legal absurdities (it's a comedy after all) and enjoy it!

This is a fairly good lighthearted and fun drama in matters of plot that offers a romance mixed with fantasy/supernatural storyline, but the overall acting is not the best; the female lead wasn't at her best although the male lead was engaging. The second season offers more character development. Still, the drama as a whole (both seasons), delivers some entertaining moments that are good for a short and simple watch that the younger (teenagers) viewers and the young at heart could enjoy. The music of this drama is nice and there is good chemistry among the characters.

This is a GREAT comedy/spy thriller! This drama has all the elements of a thriller (schemes, espionage, betrayal, action...) plus a good dose of comedy coming at you from all angles. Although some of the supporting characters seem burlesqued the cast did a great job making it fun to watch. This drama’s main themed is the crime thriller paired with comedy and a hinted romance. Every episode leaves the audience in a cliffhanger mode, all the way to the end which, although it’s a good ending, leaves one thinking of a second season. The plot on this drama is well thought and the antagonists are not given right away unless you have a kin eye for details and a good “flashback” memory. The cast was very good and the kids were excellent, making this a very entertaining drama. Enjoy it!

Perfect Marriage Revenge is a great revenge drama within a contract marriage plot. The actors did a great job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple has great chemistry. The fact that the drama was done only with only 12 one hour and ten minutes episodes makes the flow of the story fast paced but very little is missed in character and plot development. The main storyline in this drama is the event that, after dying, the leading lady is brought back in time for a second opportunity in life and her choice to take revenge on those that hurt her in her past life. Thrown into the equation is a leading man that does everything in his power to protect her and make her realize that she is worthy of been loved and cherished. The leading couple is great expressing their feelings and communicating even after some twists put them in awkward positions since their relationship develops with a steadfast and sincere love that allows them to heal each other. Overall, the drama is very well done and the actors’ performances, even the overly dramatic ones, were done well, making the drama very entertaining and giving the audience a well thought out revenge plot without making the leading couple crazy and evil for vengeance. Enjoy it!

This drama is for the viewers that are looking for a cute and light period romantic comedy. It has comedy, light romance with a small dose of frustration, and a nice twist toward the end. The acting is not the best but it’s bearable. There’s action, heartwarming friendships, and a fairly good chemistry between the leading couple. The soundtrack is well fitting and catchy. The storyline flows well and there is good character development. Although the drama doesn’t have a high rewatch value, some parts will be nice to watch again. Enjoy it!

This is a very good fantasy mystery sci-fi drama! The viewer gets to enjoy a stunning cinematography, wonderful cast and a mesmerizing soundtrack to counteract two things on which the drama fall deficient- Gu Chan-seong and his relationship with Jang Man-wol, and the dual timelines. Gu Chan-seong is just a catalyst for Jang Man-wol’s character when it could have been so much more given the fact that he was always the person who loved her the most, and still, the writers couldn’t entirely fuse the love story into the complex and strong Jang Man-wol character ultimately resorting to a sweet and soulful romance, a disappointment when you have actors of high caliber as Lee Ji-eun (IU) and Yeo Jin-goo. The drama’s focal point is Jang Man Weol and Lee Ji-eun (IU) delivers an excellent performance bringing this character to life. The rest of the cast become an extension to her character delivering a sweet romance, thrill, drama, and comedic moments to her emotionally laden persona. The second deficiency on this show is the merging of timelines, past and present. The plot could have been better if only the present timeline would have the same important development as the past, but it fell short in comparison. Even though the drama is not perfect, it is entertaining and fun to watch. Enjoy it!

This drama is a very good romantic comedy that, occasionally, will pull your heartstrings. The cast did a great job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple has great chemistry. There is also a great character development, especially for the lead male actor. There is also s strong bond and true friendship among the male characters and the leading lady with her best friend; and there is Chu Yan, who, even though he really liked Xia Lin (Mumu), he remained loyal to his best friend and was truly happy for the couple. Have to say that there is more to Yi Zhou than meets the eye. He was also a loyal friend and lover. The romance between the leading couple was well written and executed; leading to a very beautiful, intense, and long lasting relationship that took shape through communication and persistence every time there was a conflict or misunderstanding. The drama is really entertaining. Enjoy it! ** [Don’t forget that there is always a scheme to contract marriages, and this drama is not an exception! There’s also a second season coming in 2020 which I hope will be as good as or even better than this one!]**

This is a great and unique drama that can be viewed as a satirical account of the characters in the drama. The plot is a deranged representation of criminal investigation of psychopaths perpetrated by a group of individuals that get involved with the leading couple as they seek justice and their share of a fortune left by a deceased criminal. This is a well written and executed story that shows the vice in humans with a dose of dark parodic satire that seems, at times, to lighten the overall dark tone of the drama. Vincenzo is not the typical crime drama where good triumphs over evil; it is a drama that makes individuals question if, given the circumstances where the justice system and its representatives are corrupt and no justice can be expected, an inherently evil action be warranted by a good reason. This is a star-studded drama with impeccable performances across the board and not for the faint of heart!

This drama is a nice one to watch while waiting for a great one to come. Although it is a period romantic comedy, the leading actress did not exude the romance feel even as hard as the male lead tried. The writer(s) and editors kept her stubbornness for too long during the duration of this drama and it started to be annoying. The supporting cast romance stories were carried on better. The drama goes from melodramatic moments to a strange feel of comedy but it comes together at the end when the leading actress showed more support and trust on her husband. Xing Zhao Lin needs better actresses so he can shine again like in "The Eternal Love" series! It is not a great drama but it offers entertainment.
