Best KDrama!

This is my number one all time favorite romance drama! This drama kept my interest from beginning to end even on the second watch! It is a really well written and well executed story!

Storyline- was well written! Loved it all! Usually I see errors or a part of the show that was incomplete or left you hanging... not this one! It flowed so smoothly! The storyline I really loved! I laughed and cried. It was heartwarming. And thank goodness the ending was perfect! They worked out each issue like grown adults and no meddling parents or grandparents. The “love triangle” was short and worked out perfectly. Just really well done!

Acting/Cast- love love LOVE Park Min Young! I watched her in a few others and I really think she is a good actress. This was my favorite show of hers hands down! The main male lead... sigh... so cute haha but he did an excellent job also! The rest of the cast did great!

Music- I own the soundtrack and my 7 yr old daughter and I go to sleep every night listening to it and all my 500+ Asian drama songs. ? It is one of my favorites to fall asleep to.

Rewatch- yes definitely will. Watched twice now.

This is one hot mess! So confusing!

Umm… this drama is a hot mess! Literally! It jumped around and did not run smooth or make sense. The story was lacking so much! If my review sounds confusing… it is all because of this drama!!!! It messed with my brain. I think it made me confused… haha!!

But No, seriously… if you read my review and are confused well… that is exactly how you will feel watching this drama!

Storyline - I could tear this entire drama apart bit by bit and explain how it is confusing. I will only list the worst of them… from the description listed… it did not match up with the story that was told here. In the first episode I was like… um where does she “fall in love and confess to him and get rejected?” How is she his personal nutritionist, for years mind you, when all she did is cook one meal and then is let go because it was not the same as he remembered? And what is with the anorexia bit? Why did he have it and how to solve it? I was confused from the first episode. And her 12 yr old self and the age difference when they get older makes no sense… she aged yet he did not? How about… she disappeared for years yet he spent time with her parents and knew them even through her first time travel yet he could not find her? Her amnesia in 2024… she cannot remember him and her parents are even confused as to her loss of memory and they don’t recognize him??? She wakes up a year later at the end and… what? What FREAKING HAPPENED?!?!?? Confusion to the max! And the villain was no better. I am so lost, lost, lost…..

I could sort of understand what they wanted to accomplish here but it just was not executed properly or written well. I just don’t understand why they even released this drama for us to watch. Why?

Acting/Cast - I really think they could have done better with a MUCH better script/story. I have a hard time knocking them down because in all honesty I think they did their best with what they were given.

Music - was great! Loved it. Just wish the drama was better.

Rewatch - umm it is a definite NO!!! Don’t waste your time.

This so lacked a lot!

Lame movie!

So much missing and so chopped up! They left out so much important info. It was so confusing at times. Like.. how did he know it was her and visa versa? One minute they are watching a tree being chopped down and then you see them in a restaurant. She really has nothing to say and acts all mad at him. And why? Oh ya... They finally explain (mind you it was a very short explanation) it at the end when she refuses treatment and chooses to die!? She gives up on life when there are so many people who show her their love. And who did she marry? I am guessing the “rich” guy? Because we see the “brother” walking alone at the end? Did she die? Did she decide to get treatment? Grrrrr!!! So many frustrating questions and no answers!

Sheesh! At least make a show straight forward! Make it flow smoothly from one scene to the next. Don’t leave us hanging and don’t leave important parts out. That is why I Hate the series “Cheese in a Trap” but love the movie. The series leaves you unsatisfied at the ends but the movie gives a good ending. Personally I prefer the series because it had all the important info in it and it was really well done, but the movie lacked all the important stuff. But at least it had a good ending unlike this movie. That show is honestly a toss up for me. ??

The story would have been beautiful if it was written and executed right.

The cast I think did the best they could with how it was probably written.

I love the main actress. She is really good and I have watched a lot of her shows. I can honestly say this one did not impress me.

Rewatch? Nope! If I did it would be because of the actress. Nothing else.

So slow….

Glad this was only 10 eps. It was really slow and boring through most of it. I have a few hang ups. Na Bi really set the relationship for failure from the beginning. She listened to everyone and their stories of who Jae-eon is or who and what they think he is. She had a bad relationship right before that left her with a bad attitude to begin with. If you go into a relationship with a bad attitude and not really opening up and being honest to begin with then it really is doomed. I think they both were stupid in their communication! They never said what needed to be said when they had a great opportunity to do it. It was infuriating!! So many times I wanted to stop watching because I wanted to seriously smack them upside the head. He showed her so many freaking times how he felt but she was to stupid to see it! Even in the end she still talked about how he would disappoint her again and then saw Do-hyeok and almost let go of Jae-eon’s hand. She was still wavering!! Sheesh! If this is really the reality of how young people today communicate and have a relationship I feel bad for them!

Story - so slow. It was agonizing just like a said above! It was not the best storyline for me.

Acting/Cast - the emotion was there. It was good acting. I was not disappointed in that. I was just disappointed in the story they had to work with.

Rewatch - probably not! I personally am not one for slow, boring, and poor communication shows. I like when people are honest and open. Like I said before if this is how young people date and communicate… I feel bad for them.

Cute/cheesy

This was a cute show. I some times like a good cheesy show to watch and I actually liked this one.

Story- Some inconsistencies but it did flow smoothly for the most part. I was a bit disappointed that they did not show them working it out with Grandma. They left it off and let you assume it was all resolved. They never finished off his memory loss. I get he said it was not important but if that is the case why show him in the water with memories trying to come back and then his friends and GF try to have him in the water again and not a thing happens??? Made no sense. But that was really the end of the whole memory thing. Why even have it if you are not going to finish it?!?! Really I could pick a lot more apart. However I am not in the mood to do it because it really was a cute show aside from the inconsistencies in the storyline. I was pleased that the episodes were only about 35 minutes long. I watched about 90% of the show only skipping a few parts here and there.

Acting/Cast- I liked the cast. I felt they fit the roles they played. I know there was a few flaws here and there but it was not all that bad. I will be looking more for the ML/FL and future shows they star in. I liked them both.

Music- I liked the music I hope I can find it and add to my Amazon Asian playlist.

Rewatch? Ya I would. Each episode was short and it was a cheesy but cute show I will watch again when I need one. Lol

If you want cheesy but cute this is the show to watch.
Amazon Prime has it as of February 2021. Not sure for how long but that is were I watched it. Hope to see it on Viki?‍♀️ We will see.

Watched it twice one of my favorites

I really liked this show. Did it have some flaws? Yes, but I can over look them for this one because it was one of my first Chinese/Taiwanese dramas. The first drama outside of the US that I watched. And it hooked me from then on. I have watched a lot of the Cdramas and Kdramas. I got tired of Hallmark and other boring US shows. Call me a traitor but Hollywood sucks! These shows amaze me in how the actor/actress can show real emotion. You feel their pain. This one is the same. I felt his pain of losing his fiancé. And WOW! That part got me by surprise!

I really love the story. I thought it was beautiful. I also really liked Kingone Wang! He has an amazing voice that you could melt listening to!?

This one I will keep watching over and over!

One of the better movies out there

I really liked this movie. I would like to see a drama made from it so the story background could be explained more and the romance part made longer. Lol I am a romantic?.

Storyline - I liked it. Only thing is that I have found with Chinese movies is that they cut a lot and jump a lot to tell the story. The difference from American and Asian movies, as far as I can tell, is that American movies based off a novel is just that - based off a novel that is anywhere from a couple of hundred pages to a couple of thousand. And I may be wrong but I have noticed most Asian dramas are based off a manga that runs for weeks to months to maybe years to tell the story and so most Chinese, Korean, and Asian dramas are long and many episodes so they can cover all the details. So for me the movies always fall short because there is to much story to put into a couple of hours and it gets chopped. I did really like this one however. It covered the basic and you understood what was going on throughout the movie. I just wish it had more background story to really tell why this was happening and so on. But again that would make for a very long movie like Lord of the Rings. But it was a good show.

Acting/Cast - I really liked the FL. I have seen her in many CDramas and have really grown to like her. She did a really good job in this movie. As for the ML this is my first time seeing him and I was not disappointed. He did a great job.

Music - was good. I liked it a lot as I do all CDramas and KDrama music.

Rewatch - It is a definite YES! I did like it. I recommend it.

Did it have flaws? Yes but it was not all that bad!

Do I agree with the first reviewer on here? Yes and No. The drama had flaws and parts were a bit far fetched. But it was NOT a horrible mini drama compared to many of them I have seen… and that is a lot! I am sorry but in the US, dramas and tv shows here have a lot more far fetched crap in them than in this drama. And a ton of the CDramas also contain unrealistic and far fetched elements in them. So… if you are going to down it because of the “butterfly can disguise someone and the glasses can see through said disguise” then you better stop watching any drama. They ALL have a bit of unreal-to-life things in them. So go watch it at least once and form your own opinion.

Storyline - needed work. There was a lot of holes in it. I have to agree with the first reviewer… if I was told my child died I would want proof. If I was told my wife had an affair while pregnant and I was out of the country, I would want proof. If he was on bad terms with his mom why would he listen to her and not search the truth in the beginning? And why, when she came back and the kid called her “mom” right off the get go and was the same age her child would have been…did she not do a DNA test from the start? So many questions. And are people really that naive in this Information Age? I do hate when they make characters stupid to simple things to find truth. I know… it is what makes it a “drama”.

I thought the “disguise” part was kind of a cute little twist so she could find the truth and also help them realize their mistakes/misunderstandings. I am not going to pick the drama apart like others do. Just a few things that bugged me I listed above.

I liked this drama! Like is said it has flaws but it is not that bad!

Acting/Cast - they were a lot better than most mini drama cast. I liked them and would look for the Main Leads in other dramas. I think they did a good job.

Rewatch - Yes, I actually would. It was not a bad drama. Worth the watch.

It is a nice slow romance. Loved it all!

I loved this drama. It was light and fluffy and perfect for me. It had a bit of drama in it but not to the point I wanted to stop watching it. Everything was resolved perfectly and not in a huge drug out dramatic way… thank goodness. If you are looking for a good romance… This is it!

Storyline - very predictable but I honestly LOVE this drama. It was well written and well done! It flowed great and the ending… thank you writers for giving me a happy satisfying ending! I loved how the FL protected the ML. She was bold and did not back down. She was no push over and I loved that! I loved that there was no stupid breakup and everything was resolved in an adult manner. ML’s life was sad due to his fathers mistake and not wanting to own up to it. I loved that the wife and son would not allow him to run from it. Too bad he (the father) took the chickens way out and left his huge burden and failure for his wife and son to shoulder. I hated the way the girl made him feel the guilt of what his father had done all those years. She was a manipulative little brat that needed psychiatric help! I loved how the FL told her friend that if she really cared about her friend then get her some mental help. She so needed it!

Acting/Cast - first off the ML…He was perfect for this role (and really cute. Lol)! I loved how he showed the emotions and everything. I have a new actor to watch more of…I hope! As for the FL, Zhao Lu Si, she is one of my all time favorites to watch! When I saw the advertisement for this drama I knew it would be a favorite of mine! And I was not disappointed! She is amazing!

Music - loved it all! Hope to find the OST but I am finding that they are hard to come by in the states. But I will keep hoping they will release it here.

Rewatch - YES! Most definitely ?!

Not bad…

I usually don’t watch the type of dramas that get the adrenaline going. This one got it going but not all that much. I was wanting to skip to the end just to see what happened but I actually watched the entire mini drama without skipping. Which is rare for me.

Storyline - was not all that bad. It did need some work. But what drama doesn’t? It was well done by the actors. It kept me on edge and wanting to see if the ML was really good or really bad lol. I wish it was the former. I was rooting for him to really be a good guy but sad to say he was not. It had a not to bad ending. It is more of a suspense but a good one. I did like it all in all.

Actin/Cast - I thought they did great. ML… I loved him in “My Lethal Man.” He was a good actor in it and he was also a good sociopath in this one. He made me want to believe he really was good. Kind of like the husband in “Flower of Evil”. He is fast becoming one of my favorite ML. The rest of the cast was good. There were some parts that bugged me about the sisters. I can not decide if it was the script or their acting that I had issues with.

Rewatch - it really is not my type or show. I am more of a romantic than suspense and so on. But I Might watch it again down the road. Just watch it once to gain your own opinion.

Was a good short version but…

If you see my review on the original W it has 10/10. Nothing can EVER beat the original! But this was a good try for a mini drama. However… the ending lacked compared to the original. Give. Me. More. Ending!!!! Grrr. So frustrating! It left me wanting more of them!

Storyline - it covered some of the most important parts. It was not bad overall. It ran pretty close to the original. I felt it also ran smooth and not choppy like some mini dramas get. Sorry I am going to end up comparing them because this drama is based off the original but this is a “Chinese” version. It is not bad but I am not happy with the ending. As I stated above. So I knocked the storyline down to 7/10.

Acting/Cast - I felt they did a spot on job. Was not bad at all. They did great.

Rewatch - yes. The Korean version is long, BUT really, really good. But sometimes it is nice to watch a mini drama that does not take to long. This one was not too bad. But that dang ending…

I liked it but was not a favorite

Was an ok mini drama. Worth at least one watch. Missing parts of the story but all in all it was a lite romance.

Storyline - was not smooth running. It needed a LOT of work. It was choppy and somethings were not made clear or did not make sense. Her “accident” was not clear. And her so called “memory loss” due to the accident was not that well told. I could pick it apart but if you watched it you would know what I mean. It was not well done.

Acting/Cast - was not to bad. They did ok but needed some work. Might have done better with a well written script. In some places their emotions were off. And I really hated that every time he kissed her she had a surprised look on her face. You’re married for a year and have kissed why are you always surprised? I see it a lot in these CDramas. It gets old.

Rewatch - I might sometime down the road when I have nothing else and remember it. It is not a memorable drama.

I liked this one!

I am not one for time-loop or similar dramas, but this one had me hooked from the beginning to the end! I could not wait for Tencent to up load them! They were not fast enough.

Storyline - kind of, in a way, remainders me of “What’s Up With Secretary Kim” at first. Over worked secretary tired of bossy boss man’s wants to resign, but with a time-loop twist. I really liked this one. Was well done for my taste. Like a said above, it kept my interest and I could not wait for them to be uploaded.

Acting/Cast - the NL had such a cute smile but that aside I think he did a great job along with the FL. They did great. Loved both of them.

Rewatch - Yes! Added to my favorites.

Was so good until….

Another good mini drama. However… THE ENDING!!! come on give me more! Sigh… ONE MINUTE does NOT satisfy my romantic hopes in a drama. Other than the ending it was not half bad. So I marked the story down. Sorry, if you are not going to give me a bit more to satisfy my romantic craving… then your story loses ratings for me. That is not the entire reason why I marked the story down though. I will list them below.

Storyline - was not bad. Only bad part for me was the ending. That said… the FL was supposed to help people (she is supposed to be a doctor in training/school) to get through this time travel in 120 days. I was a bit confused because she helped some people then it is like they dropped that part of the storyline for quiet awhile and then picked it up and then dropped it again. She had this fancy watch that helped her out but then the rest of the drama it is like it all disappeared. So the storyline was not consistent at all. Things jumped around a bit and was a little confusing. Other than those thing I did not think it was half bad.

Acting/Cast - was not bad. They could use some work. I am guessing that most of these mini dramas are new actors/actresses and so some do good while others don’t. I would say that I liked both of the main leads. Sometimes they lacked the proper emotion but all in all I liked them.

Rewatch - I might sometime down the road. If it was not for the poor ending it would be a YES! Unfortunately it is a might.

Slow but good

This was a really really sloooooow show. BUT it had a lot if heart to the story that kept you wanting to finish it.

Story- I liked the story. It was slow but it played out and finished off nicely. I think I felt sorry the most for the sisters. What they did and had to deal with. It would have been hard for anyone to go through that. The younger sister had a huge weight on her shoulders and now that I know what really happened I can understand her character better. I am glad to see that Hae Won came back to stay. It had a nice ending and did not leave me hanging or wishing for more. I will be honest... I did start to watch it and stopped for a month. I did forget about it so to me it is not a show I would go out of my way to see again. I am not one for slow shows like this.

Acting/cast- Park Min-Young is one of my most favorite actresses. She is very talented. I first saw her in “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim” (watched twice now) and “Her Private Life” is one of my most favorite shows of all time. She did a great job in this show also. The rest of the cast did a great job.

Rewatch? I don’t know. I would really have to be wanting a slow paced show. I really don’t see that happening again. Lol we will see.
