Deep but not savage
This drama gives vibes of warmth and sweetness where each and every person goes through different circumstances in their life and then undergoes various aspects of behaviour. Xiang xiang becomes more bold and outspoken while qiao nan becomes thoughtful and more mature.I dont like dramas where main couple dont have skinship or much physical relationship not even kissing and hugging. But i would say this drama was exception coz in my opinion main leads didnt need physical relationship to display their affection. They were adorable as they were together. Both tried to give space and Thoughts to their partners. The pitch of story was high school but the issues they dealt with and the way they handled all the pressure without losing their cool & wits, it was all adult theme. Like adults should handle their issues.
The acting was spot on for everyone, i did got sentimental in some episodes bt i also laughed and lived with them trying to solve issues.
One thing bothered me is the ending. I didnt like How they turned the whole soul swap and all imaginary. Story was perfect as it was. There was no need to tweak it.
Overall good school drama for those who believes in relationship building and character development.

Drama in a drama concept fails miserably here
Even great cast can't save the drama if there is no story and very uninteresting characters.They tried to fit this drama into different genres - horror, comedy, romance, suspense, revenge. But this show belonged nowhere.
Horror wasn't scary, Comedy was average (though I found very few scenes funny), chemistry was so-so, suspense was predictable except 1 or 2 little things. revenge went nowhere as the ghosts left.
I think they should have made drama Ghost's love story rather than Lovely Horribly. Drama in a drama concept fails miserably here. The fortune stealing & sharing concept was Good, but story went nowhere with that because of zero chemistry and horrible execution. Maybe concept was there but writing was ambiguous.
The questions in the story are ridiculous and answers are even more ridiculous.
Characters are not good enough. Only character seemed plausible was Sung joong played by Ki gwang.
Main lead were circling around here and there with same story.
I wonder what made PSH and SJH to accept such stoyline.
Not even worthy of one time watch.
Music was average. Even horror scenes didn't felt horror as music wasn't compatible.
I have bad habit to finish the drama till the end so I watched it. I would not recommend this to anyone unless you are huge fan of Park shi hoo and want to watch him again in similar roles like - Cheongdamdong Alice ( I loved his role here, drama was diferent too.) and My golden life.

I had thought You're too much was an extreme makjang but this one is equal competition to that.
The story revolves around two girls whose destinies change because of the choices made by their family.
The story is kind of obvious at the start.
Chae rin is extremely talented businesswoman even better than her foster father. But she was never accepted by her foster family so she wants recognition and love from the family. She tries to do her best.
Soo ah/ Yeon joo was abducted when she was 10 yrs and now living as poor. She is the actual heiress of MakePacific. Her life was perfect until the man she loved leaves her for Chae rin and then the jealousy and competitiveness within her now wants more. After that it takes you on the ride which you personally would never get involved. There are many entanglements within the leads. It does take different turns in the middle.
Lee Yoo Ri as usual gives her best. The insecure and love-seeking Min Chae rin is best delivered by her. if portrayed by someone else, Chae rin may have sounded irritating as every character in this drama had given over the top vibe.
The sour spot of this drama would be Song Chang Eui. Cha eun hyuk may have been better. His expressions were stoic never really giving what he wants or feels. His chemistry with Chae rin is very shaky and falls short by his side.
Uhm Hyun Kyung is ok too. I personally got irritated by her character as Yeon joo coz she is blinded by jealousy and blames Chae rin for everything.
Kim Young Min on other hand is the best. He is really evolved into great actor.I really liked the character as Moon Jae sang. You look forward to his time with Chae rin. The character develoment is amazing. I wish they would have kept him as main lead.
Other people are portrayed too dramatic as I guess it was all in the script.
Music is good.
Just one time watch would be sufficient just too see Moon Jae sang and Min Chae rin.
A BIG NO for rewatch!!
