This one just didn't do it for me... it was okay but I was expecting more. It had beautiful leads, royalty, CEOs, evil queen, queen's eviler father, white truck of doom, falling/catching, fireworks on a bridge, cars I could never afford, miraculous healing times, Prime Ministers, poisoning, fires, interesting crocs, etc... even Subway! However, it just didn't vibe with me. UI sure can tear up and Byeon Woo Seok is certainly a handsome man but I grew tired of the endless close-ups. Comedy relief was fine with the aides and brother/sister-in-law. Last episode / ending was meh at best. I will keep my eye open for Gong Seung Yeon, I thought her acting was above the rest.

Good, fun entertainment... what more could you ask for? Interesting storyline + great acting and special effects. The three Fools made me smile and the villains made me angry so I guess you could say I was engaged. Would be up for a second season!

High hopes for this one and as soon as it came back on Viki [in my geo] I gave it a watch. Honestly, I was bored and disappointed overall. There were some fun episodes but I was going to drop it several times before episode 6. Didn't drop it solely for PGY/Dal Li and the hope that it had to get better... and it did for a few episodes. Last episode with the story arcs being completed was disappointing to say the least. For people that dislike loud episodes, you're probably not going to like the first handful. Stayed for the FL but I wish they had of developed her character more.

Not a bad series at all... certainly better than the current rating. Slow at times, had a few nice twists along the way, and a fun ending. Mind you, I'd pretty much enjoy watching anything that Ayase Haruka and Naka Riisa are in.

Overall, a better than average watch. Storyline was fun, acting was decent but I still don't understand why the Korean government hasn't banned white trucks... they have to be the number one reason of population decline. I wished the writer had developed Esom's character more, this was kind of a waste of her talent [but still enjoyable]. Good fun!

Just finished rewatching this and I'll admit that it was more enjoyable the second time around. The first viewing was excellent but quite daunting: multiple intertwined characters and they'd come and go in each others stories. This time viewing, there we relationships that I was able to understand deeper and, quite frankly, some that I didn't care about. My rating didn't change but my enjoyment was more focused [if that makes sense]. Wonderful series, excellent/talented cast that made the best of great writing and directing.

I'd call this a campy, art school project. They must have spent most of the budget on fake blood and outlandish paint. Parts were really fun, others not so such and if you're not fond of campiness and overacting, you may have a problem with this. However, Kaho never disappoints!

Overall, this was fine. Started strong, dipped in interest level for a bit, crashed out on one episode and wrapped up nicely. Like most dramas, there a secondary characters you love / hate, and some that are just wasting screen time. Quite a bit of that here. However, Hyeri's smile makes me smile too... so it's always a good day when I watch something she is in.

I'm dropping this after 4 episodes, it's just not for me. I enjoyed Yumi's Cells 1, pushed through Yumi's Cells 2 but got so bored with Yumi's Cells 3. No hate to the actors, they're playing their characters fine... it's just that I'm not invested/interested in the main's relationship and find the Cell's annoying this time. For those watching until the end, best of luck and I hope the final ending will be a happy one for Yumi!

I'm liking this season more than the last, but not as much as the first. I'm probably in the minority that prefers the live action to the animation. So far, so good!

It was a fun and entertaining watch, and I found it has a similar acting vibe as Stepmom and Daughter Blues [not the storyline of course, just the FL's acting/portrayal of the character]. Not going to lie, I did ff through some of the middle episodes but overall it was a decent watch.

Upon rewatching this, the soundtrack played an even more important role... so much so that I just received delivery of a sealed version from 2018. I've purchased OSTs before but it's a rare occurrence. Everything about My Mister was top tier.

He was wearing his ring when he was breaking down at home in the last episode. However, when in his CEO office, there is a photo with him and his mother where he's not wearing his ring and it seems that he's not wearing it when talking with the open folder in his hand. Unfortunately, the last scenes [outside the coffee shop], he has his left hand in his pocket. I choose to believe that they split amicably as I honestly don't think that relationship was salvageable. I can live with that ending.

Akiko for the win! Honestly... a fun, light and enjoyable series. Acting and pace were fine and the storyline held up. Would certainly enjoy a second season. Also, a guest star role for Nakamura Anne is always a welcome addition.

Just finished and I really wished I had binged this instead of viewing the weekly drops. Overall, it was an uncomfortable watch with morally questionable themes. I did enjoy the FL's acting, thought she did a great job. This is certainly not for everyone and I'm not sure it was entertaining. It did raise different emotions and made me try to understand the FL's point of view [and what was behind her decisions]. Ending was better than expected honestly.

Yeah, that's about what I wanted to say. Well stated.

I came here [again] to say this exact thing about the wife. She was more fleshed out as a character in this adaptation and you could understand her situation + actions. Not condoning anything here, but there is more understanding for the viewer. Excellent acting on her part as well.

I'm finding it hard to verbalize the watching experience. Awkward? Maybe. Angry? No that's not it. Someone down below used the term "uncomfortable". I think that's close enough. I'm planning on finishing this but it's not super enjoyable at the moment (I just finished episode 4).

This was a very decent watch. Interesting storyline, great acting and music. It dragged a little at times but Akane's positivity and smile pulled you through those.

Surprisingly better than I expected. Honestly, Jisoo did fine... much better than Snowdrop and improvement should always be looked at as a positive. Light, fun, and entertaining. Ha Young was great, here's hoping that more main characters come her way. Was hoping for more screen time for Ryu Abel, she was underutilized but I guess not every side character gets a backstory.
