Not a bad mini drama.

This was not a bad little mini drama. I am guessing there will be a part 2. This one kept my interest for the most part.

Storyline- was not bad. I felt it ran smooth enough. There were a few parts that needed improvement and some parts I thought were a bit crazy… the model who wanted the CEO was exactly as I thought. Not the kind of thing I personally like to watch but it was not all that bad. She was actually a “He” and his sort of childhood friend. “He” was a bit obsessed with the ML and so it led him to “change” into someone else so he could be closer to him and get his love. It was an interesting twist. The ending lets me know there might be a season 2? No announcement on MyDramaList. But that does not mean it will not happen. Other than that I liked the story. I am guessing season 2 will be all about the FL and where she came from and if her and the ML will find happiness. I hope they do! I like them both.

Acting/Cast - I think they did a great job. It was well done and they helped me connect with them. I was totally wanted by the ML/FL to stay together.

Rewatch - maybe. If there is a second season I might watch it again to remember it before the next one comes out. But I am going to be honest… I am more into the romance stories more than the drama and sort of suspense stories. So I might watch it again if I am looking for a bit of suspense.

A JDrama I can like a lot!

I have watched quite a lot of the JDramas and can honestly say that I like this one the most even with all the skin ship scenes. I don’t mind a little. This one had a lot but I like it because they were tastefully done.

Storyline - No bed hopping here, thankfully. The FL was better written in this drama! A bit shy but she had backbone. The ML was not a creepy guy. At first he seemed a bit that way but as you watch the story you see why he came on the way he did to her at first. I liked their story. I liked how they stayed “true” to each other. Even with the little love triangle with Gaku. She never wavered. Was refreshing for a JDrama. I really like this storyline and cast. It was smooth and told their story perfectly for my liking.

Acting/Cast - I loved them all from the main leads down to the coworkers and her parents. The parents were cute. They did a great job.

Rewatch - it is put into my absolute favorites list on Viki so it is a definite YES!

Not my favorite

I was liking the beginning but then it tanked for me towards the end. I just watched another one that was similar to this one. FL has just turned 30 or turning 30 and has guys around her that like her. Unfortunately it had a blah ending.

Storyline - when you write a story and the synopsis says the FL has 4 love interests, you get our hopes up she falls for at least one of them and has a happy ending. But nope that is not what happened. And that “complicated mess of feelings” did not really get worked out for me. Personally I would have went for the CEO. Lol. He was cute but also really nice and honest. But she chose no one! Grrr give me a better ending!

Acting/Cast - I thought they did good. Most of them I have seen in other dramas before and liked them.

Rewatch - probably not. It had an ending not to my liking.

Was promising at first but then fell flat!

You may like it but for me it was not my type of show. Poor ending and just not very well written. Just my opinion.

Storyline - started out great. I was all for this to end well. I had hopes that Lee Seung Yoo was an upstanding guy who had a stocker or ex that would not leave him alone. Seo Ji Won was not all that smart. She needed to ask him questions instead of ignoring the issue and him. I think the thing that frustrates me the most with these dramas is… FREAKING ask them who and what is going on instead of guessing and hiding from it.!!! So many times she should have asked him and so many time he should have told her. I just think people are so immature! And this is their take on being 30? Not very mature at all. Sad but dramas never let the leads say what needs to be said. So for me it was a blah story. May be real life to some but in my world we tell each other how it is and ask before leaving it alone and fester. It was not the best story for me. The ending was not the best for me either. I know you cannot always have a happy ending but if a drama does not have it, it is not worth watching again for me.

Acting/Cast - I honestly liked the acting. It was well done and executed well for the script they had. So acting I had no problems with.

Rewatch - NO! I will not watch it again. I hate shows that the story is written where there is poor communication and not the best ending IMO.

It is a fun, emotional, mysterious, quirky roller coaster ride! It was perfect!

This drama is one of the best! It has it all... emotion, mystery, laughs, and quirkiness. It grabbed me at the beginning and held me captive till the end. It is now one I will watch yearly.

This show is about emotions and healing. If that is not what you want then it is not for you. I am not really into these kinds of show, but I have to say it was quite a surprise and I loved every bit of it!

Storyline - how do they come up with these stories? The detail and acting is phenomenal! The story was well written and well executed! I love the development of each character. The emotion felt real and you could relate with them. I put this drama off for a while now. I look back and think, “Why?!” It is so good! I loved the fairy tales in it and how it went along with each episode. I loved watching the healing of everyone involved. It was a journey but well worth it. Much much MUCH better than any Hollywood movie or series!

Acting - Oh Jung Se did an amazing job! He is quite the actor! Kim Soon Hyun... when he cried I cried right with him. He knows how to pull you in and feel his pain as his character. On top of that.. man when he came out for pictures with his hair all done.. well I will just say he is a cutie!😁 Seo Ye Ji did a wonderful job also. She really is a good actress! The rest of the cast did a great job. I have seen a few of them in other dramas and really like them.

Music - I am so glad it is on Amazon. I am buying it! I love all the music in this drama. The quirky songs are my favorite.

Rewatch - YES! One of my top favorites! I highly recommend this drama.

Your usual KDrama with the usual ending

I liked the show but again... the ending lacked so much. It felt rushed and then left you wanting more. It pretty much summed up everything in less then 5 minutes. I am again disappointed with the ending. This seems to be a usual thing in Kdramas. Leave the ending rushed, much lacking, and not complete.☹️

I liked the storyline. It is a normal KDrama story. The acting lacked in parts but overall was good.

My biggest hang ups are two things... they breakup over something stupid instead of communicating on what is going on and coming up with a logical solution and helping support each other.🙄 I really hate this! And the ending... I talked about it above.

Would I rewatch? Maybe if I am really wanting to see it again.

Not bad! Had a great moral to it.

Not a bad drama. This is a keeper for me. It had a great moral to the story.

Storyline - was put together not to bad. It ran smooth and got the point across. I liked the romance but that is only what kept part of my interest. The story itself was a lesson to be learned. You need to truly believe in yourself to make things happen. Is it ok to get a little help now and again? Sure but you should never rely upon that help for to long or you can get trapped. I like how the two leads came to this realization. They worked together in the end to help each other achieve their dreams and stopped relying on the “help” they got from the APP. I liked to story.

Acting/Cast - they all did a great job. Was well done. I was rooting for the leads to finally get together and realize they really did love each other. They did a great job and had a happy ending.

Rewatch - yes! I would. It was a good drama with a great lesson to learn with a bit of romance.

Review from season 1… because I still feel the same way about this one.

I looked all over for Jiang Shi Qi and could not find her until now. On YouTube the AI sub titles type her name out as Ginger 17 (most of the time). But the last one I watched finally got it right and I was surprised to see her on MDL. That said…

These dramas are cute and funny to watch because of her. She is lively and fun and does not put up with anyone’s crap. I would like to watch more of her.

The only downfall of these mini dramas are that they are hard to find with English subs and when they have them they are AI subs and move so fast you have to rewind and pause to see what is said and... a lot of things get lost because AI is not perfect and so a lot of words are mixed up so you kind of get lost on what is said because as we say here in the States, “it is lost in translation.”

Storyline - is cute and fun to watch. Love that she is bold and does what is best and right no mater what anyone says or does.

Acting/Cast - like I said above… Jiang Shi Qi makes these little bites size minis fun. The ML is an handsome guy and always stands up for her and does not let her get wronged.

Rewatch - yes, I will because sometimes I like these short bitesize dramas to take a break from the long ones.

If your into bed hopping…

I thought this would sound like a good JDrama but I am not into bed hopping. Sorry the storyline is not well written. First 2 episodes were good and then it started to tank after that.

Storyline- could have been better. The main FL was a bore. Why do they write these JDrama FL as shy and stupid? Most of the FL are boring. They have no backbone when it comes to men. And this FL was written as a simpleton. She ended up in two guys beds… both friends btw… and both telling her he loves her. She finally makes her mind up at the very end. It was full of sex scenes (which I am not downing they were tastefully done not over the top) and then the guy treating her rude the next day. I just don’t understand why she slept with the other guy. I get he was “nice”. But if he were a true friend he would have had boundaries and so would she. Just write the FL better and not such a push over. Even her “friend” was evil to her and in the end her friend had her fun with messing up the FL love life and then moved on? The logic of some of these JDramas is baffling!

Actin/Cast - did they play their rolls good? Sure if you are into this type of drama.

Rewatch - probably not.

Not to bad…

This was a not to bad short drama. Could it have been better? Sure. This is one of the better short dramas and I have seen a lot of them!

Storyline - was not bad but could have used some work. More explanation maybe. I just wish the credits at the first did not take up a minute and 31 seconds of time they could have used for more of the story. It was a better short drama compared to others though. It is not one of my favorites but it is not one I absolutely hate. If I had to nitpick one thing…(and I am not sure if this was because it was on YouTube I watched it instead of their APP) the sound went out in some episodes in parts and the subs went off also. I find that in a LOT of these short dramas. I get they are low budget but come on… you’re really going to put something out there that the sound totally disappears on or weird music starts playing and the subs go off? It happens way to much in these short, low budget dramas.

Acting/Cast - I actually liked them all. Thought they did good with what they had.

Music - was actually good compared to other short dramas. Accept the weird music that started playing in one of the last episodes.

Rewatch - yes, I would sometime down the road. It was not all that bad.

I will give a real review for the actual drama…

First off… if you are going to “review” a drama, movie, or even a product… do an actual review ON that item or drama. Don’t dis a drama for subtitles just because you are to lazy to search for the drama on YouTube or somewhere the subs are good. It is really ridiculous to review a drama when you watch it someplace the subs are not good. Pure laziness! Ok! I am off my soapbox. Here is an actual review for this drama.

Storyline - was good. It flowed smoothly and was well done. Somethings are not new to a plot in most shows. They get repetitive and some parts of the plot were just that… nothing new that you have not seen in other dramas like this one (hence why I marked the storyline down). Girl is stupid and leaves boyfriend thinking she is saving him and it is just blah! Grow a backbone and write more strong characters! Make people stand up for them selves and stick together through thick and thin. I am happier to watch a drama where the leads stick together and work through their problems than split for stupid ones. Ok enough of that.

Acting/Cast - was well done. They did a great job. I have seen a few of the actors in other dramas and liked them. But not my favorites by any means. But they did good.

Music - was good and fit the drama well.

Rewatch - maybe. It is not a favorite of mine but I might decide to see it again. If not I don’t feel I am losing out. But it is at least worth a watch.

Great short drama.

I really liked this drama. It was a fun 10 minute drama that was not bad done.

Storyline - I liked it. However, I marked it down because the ending as a bit of a bummer. I really, really wish the ending had a bit more of them in the current times. Just a bit more! I was so wanting it but it disappointed me. Other than that, I liked the story. It was cute and entertaining.

Acting/Cast - I really liked the actors. They did a good job. They made the drama turn out good. Was fun to watch their love unfold.

Rewatch - yes! I will rewatch it. Even though the ending was not my favorite the entire show made up for it. This is a favorite short drama of mine.

I liked it! It is one of the better “short” dramas a from WeTV

I liked it. I will watch it again and recommend it if you like the short dramas. This one was one of the better ones from WeTV!

Storyline - I thought was well done. Did it need work? Like I say as always nothing and no one is perfect so it has its flaws. But that said, it is so much better written and acted out than a lot of these short dramas from WeTV. I liked that the female lead was strong and stood up for herself at every turn. She stood up to the childhood friend a lot and did not let her walk all over her. It was refreshing to see a strong FL for once. I also liked that she said what she wanted and needed to say instead of not much at all. Even though she “falls in love” with an NPC you will have to watch it to see how it unfolds. I had a feeling the NPC was “sussy” but you will have to watch it to see.

Acting/Cast - I liked all of them! They did a great job. Some parts I think they could have done better at but the rest made up for it.

Rewatch - Yes! I will add to my favorites and watch it again. I recommend!

I wanted to love it so bad! But...

This show was so disappointing! I started to watch it when it first came out and took my time on it. I read some of the reviews on here and thought everyone was nuts because it was really good in the beginning. But then it dropped off and just got worse!

Story... was good up until about episode 13/14. The main leads started to drift apart really fast after they started dating. And it went downhill from there! No communication and they tell each other that they love each other but break up???? Really?? “I love you. Let’s break up!” And she dumps him when he needed her the most! I hated her character! Like the actress but poor part she chose to play. I just can’t believe they did not get back together. She still said she loved him but could not be there for him!? She was the problem. Poor guy! I felt bad for him. Yes, they left it to your imagination if they got back together or not. But honestly I HATE that! Just end it nice and give them a clean happy ending!

Acting... was really good. I think they did a great job. But dang that storyline hurt them and the show! Park Bo Gum is a cutie and I really loved his character and thought he did an awesome job.

Music... loved! Hope I can find it on Amazon.

Rewatch? Probably not! I hate endings they way they did it. And I hate the storyline! It was disappointing. I have to agree with all those low rated reviews.

Was not what I thought it was according to the rating but pleasantly surprised!

A good short JDrama. Listed as rate R but in America it would be PG-13. It was tastefully done. I was hesitant because I don’t watch rate R shows, but for some reason I decided to give it a try and I am glad I did. Was well worth it! Not that rated R for me. Like reading a good tasteful romance novel that leaves it to the imagination. =o)

Storyline - was well written and well done. There were times I wanted to kick the FL’s butt especially towards the end. It was obvious from the third episode he liked her - a lot. She was a bit Naïve and inexperienced to see he cared for her. He gave her all the signals but she did not see them. She did not even give him a chance to say what he wanted to say. She just ended it without him having a voice. When she started dating the “player guy” I was like, “NOOOO!!” A bit predictable that it took his old crush to make her come to her senses. Glad it worked out and had a perfect ending.

Acting/Cast - the leads had great chemistry! Made me fall in love with them. Both cute and fit perfectly together.

Rewatch - yes! I will add it to favorites. It was a good show.
