Cute but too long
Cute but too long for what it was. It really didn't need two seasons. It could have been condensed into one.Was this review helpful to you?
Love it!
Funny and absolutely adorable! I love how it pokes fun at popular tropes and turns the story on its head. And it's perfect as a short drama: not too drawn out, not too rushed. It's my list of favorites.Was this review helpful to you?

Predictable but cute.Was this review helpful to you?
Meh
A shorter version of most of the Qing era dramas along the lines of Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and The Story of Yanxi Palace. Not very memorable but not a complete waste of time if you want to see something like those two dramas but don't want to invest 70-87 episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
Must watch comedy!
So so funny! It feels like a cross between The Office, Police Academy, and Daddy Day Care. Fun comedy without being too over the top most of the time and lots of heart. Easily one of the best comedies out there.Was this review helpful to you?
Thai is still best
Better than the Korean and Chinese versions, not as good as the Thai. The MIL was a bit weird in this one. I get that they were trying to humanize her, but she went from one extreme to another too quickly to be believable. I do like how F4 seemed to be able to step in and do more with their money and influence in this version (that was always something that bugged me in other versions).Weird that it has a second season set 10 years later with different characters.

Amazing!
This is one of the rare gems that not only gets people hooked on K-dramas, but it's also nearly perfect. The plot is a bit like Back to the Future mixed with That Thing You Do, but it's more intricate, interesting, heartfelt, and compelling. It goes beyond the common tropes we see in time travel stories and delves deep into the heart of struggles of the deaf community in a beautiful way that anyone can relate to. The characters and relationships in this drama are so rich and moving that they'll stay with you long after the last episode.Was this review helpful to you?
Not My Favorite Genre, But WOW!
I was having trouble sleeping while being sick, and watching this did NOT help!I don't usually like dark thriller or crime dramas, but this is one I couldn't stop watching. It was a little more drawn out than it needed to be, but it still kept me up at night wondering what would happen next. I loved how the evil characters were not one dimensional bad guys and there was more to the events than meets the eye. While this isn't my usual happy ever after fantasy or romcom, and I doubt I'll ever rewatch it, I can't deny that it was extremely well written (despite a few plot holes) and one of the best dramas I've seen in a while. I'm surprised it's not recommended often or more highly rated. The ending was sad but satisfying, and the acting (especially Shin Sung Rok. How he can he go back and forth from the extreme of bone chilling evil villian that I can barely stand to look at to so innocentand cute I'm trying not to smile, I'll never know!) was amazing. 10/10 binged it in 2 days.

Definitely worth watching!
This was a really neat look into the brocade industry-I had no idea how cool it was! Absolutely fascinating to see the process and understand why we heard about things like The Silk Road being so important in history class. It also gives me more appreciation for all the costume designs and intricate patterns in dramas. Someone must have spent years researching to write this.The story itself was great. Strong FL that used her brain instead of plot armor. There wasn't as much chemistry between the leads as I'd like, but the romance was still sweet. I loved the development of the side characters as well. Definitely worth watching!

One of the best fantasies!
A rich fantasy world that I want to revisit again and again, an engrossing story, great cast, beautiful cinematography, and satisfying ending. While some things were a bit cheesy (like the special effects) and a bit over the top (the drama of the story is a bit much sometimes), it's hard to stop watching it, even though I've seen it before. I loved it even more the second time.I also love that some of the side characters were so popular that a sequel was made to give them a better ending!

Good Comfort Drama
Cute story that vibes a bit like Hidden Love but a bit older age group. Very slow paced slice of life. Solid cast, nice story. I enjoyed how the leads help each other grow and don't have a massivly toxic relationship like so many other dramas.But the last few episodes were so slow, uneventful, and predictable, that I probably could have skipped it and just watched the last few scenes of the show and been fine. There was so weird focus on side characters at times that could have been interesting but felt random and inconsistent
Overall, worth the watch.. It was a nice, relaxing comfort drama that I really did enjoy.
But how do these actors look even younger now than in their previous roles?

Could have been better
This was a weird one. The beginning is very confusing (especially how the FL and her mother were separated and that she's transmigrated into a book). There was absolutely zero chemistry between the leads. The story seemed rushed, even for a short. It seems like someone put this drama together in a hurry instead of planning and plotting. Just plain lazy writing. But the ending was cute?Was this review helpful to you?
Beautiful and funny but...
A 33 episode long journey that felt like 103 episodes. It moved so slow, and yet, so much happened within those 33 episodes, it's kind of surreal. Ibenjoyed the characters and the fantasy world was neat, but there was just too many plot points and overly emotional moments packed in there (kind of like someone had a limit of one suitcase so they crammed everything in, jumped on in, and laid on top of it to zip it closed.) The result was my eyes rolling at yet another life and death scene, a final few episodes that had me tapping my watch to be sure it hadn't stopped, and a very cliche and predictable ending.That said, I loved the cast, loved the music, costumes, scenery, and cinematography.
