MUST WATCH HILARIOUS HEARTFELT SWEET WITTY CHARMING CUTE MEMORABLE ADORABLE LOVABLE

This show is simply one of the BEST shows I have EVER seen, period.

NOT just the best comedy show, but one of the best shows EVER.

10/10 on every aspect.

It was so unexpectedly hilarious yet witty, crack-filled yet charming, sweet yet salty, and simply ADORABLE.

The perfect blend of comedy mixed with interesting story arcs that all shape the show to go in the right direction every single time and leave you wanting the show to go on FOREVER so that you can see this trio and the respective added partners continue to live and grow in their lives while being unexpectedly hilarious and cute.

They did such a great job with genuine characters in a crack comedic genre. The story and the character development creeps up on you, to the extent that you start to care deeply about each character's growth while also experiencing the hilarity that comes from each and every single character's unique personality traits till the very end.

UNEXPECTED is my other favourite word about this show, after hilarious. Just when you think you know what's gonna happen, it doesn't, and even if it does, it happens in the most (you guessed it) HILARIOUS way possible. Eventually you start to predict the actions of a character because you come to recognise their personality BUT THEY SURPRISEYOU IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.

This show is simply a must watch, no other way to put it.

A MUST WATCH DESPITE THE ENDING

Given all the moments that made me irritated, which also shows how much I truly LOVE this show to be so involved in their characters and their lives, shows what a STELLAR show this was. I do think the ending could've been better though.

PROS:

1. I still keep thinking about the intimacy of the scene when they had a match together in episode 4. When he first saw her in her gear, his appreciative gaze and respectful attitude was so sexy, and when he got curious enough she made him wear some man's gear, which of course looked like it was made for him. But when she helped him put it on, that quietness felt SO natural and sexy and organic. And the way he was looking at her then...GOSH.
Their match was as expected, and then when she looked at him afterwards, that realisation was amazing.
2. Another scene I cannot forget, after the intimate and sexy match in episode 4, is the beautiful snowflake scene in episode 5.
Each second the scene got better and better, first they transitioned so beautifully, and that MUSIC WOW, and THEN looked at each other, THEN they both reacted to that man calling her out, AND THEN he pulled her to him AND THEN THEY LISTENED TO EACH OTHERS MESSAGES.
I love this supportive and soulful relationship.
3. I also can't help but swoon over when they walked under the rain with an umbrella and reached her hotel, I couldn't help but swoon over how NJH conveyed his feelings with his eyes, the way his eyes shone when she was doing what she was doing. He stood perfectly still even as she turned around, because he knew she would climb back down the stairs! He knew she wanted to spend more time with him, and he was allowing it, he allowed her to lead their relationship pretty much, because he probably realised then he couldn't help but return her feelings as they were too strong. His conversation with her 'ex-boyfriend' was telling, he wanted what was best for her, and finally he believed that he could be the best for her!
4. Then their kiss, the anticipation, the tension, that moment was amazing, and the way she clarified her feelings right afterwards, because she knows him and probably spent ages thinking of possible reasons why he wouldn't return her feelings, and came to the (right) conclusion that he was simply doing it to protect her.
5. And then when he sent the patrolman on the road just because he knew she was going to go home alone at night, my heart melted.
6. Also how he keeps protecting her in a non-oppressive way, simply to protect her from the harm that she may not be able to see, not because she's incapable but because she may be blindsided, was so sexy of him, even when they were breaking up.

CONS:
1. That ending was sloppy and rushed and inconsistent with each character of the show, it really feels like they changed the writer after episode 13, to the point that the actions of each of the characters didn't necessarily make much sense.
Until then the theme of the show was that everyone choses a different path in life and sometimes life chooses a path for you and that's okay.
2. But there are many odd things I noticed about their behaviour after the random accident in ep 13, how NHD was insistent on getting into a relationship initially yet somehow regretted it as she noticed the similarities in him to her mother (that's because of his job which you already knew which everyone told you to be careful of!), and then when she was shown to be tenacious and optimistic, but somehow turned their relationship into wanting someone to be there for her, even though she herself keeps travelling and doesn't really stay in a place for too long?
He was in a very dark place mentally and she wasn't really there for him as even a silent support, he was covering a tragedy and she wasn't patient enough to see through it and maybe give him one chance to get therapy and work on himself (and that airport scene when she just left his bag carelessly? No.) before breaking up with him.
3. The reason for their breakup makes sense, but it was a surprise to me that she saw it happening very early on, that means she was expecting to be separated from him anyway, and that the tragedy and his lack of attention simply fast forwarded things. Also from his behaviour maybe he had already given up on her but then he was wanting for her to get back together with him? Idk that just confused me.
4. That breakup scene was emotionally charged and very well acted, but the actions afterwards, with somehow fate bringing her diary back to her, and then him actually remembering her as his first love, also the whole interview with the lack of personal questions which he insisted on, and her left side being better which she insisted on, just SCREAMED to be explored and expanded and explained and continued. It made no sense otherwise tbh.

This show must be seen by every adult at least once in their life.

This drama is absolutely wonderful. It's a personification of a warm cup of tea when it's beautifully cold and windy and thundery and raining outside, the feeling you get on Saturday night realising that tomorrow is a Sunday and that you get one more day to have fun, the feeling of finding a hidden 100 dollar bill randomly in your wardrobe, the uncontrollable bouts of laughter while sitting with a group of genuine friends, the feeling that you've just encountered the best sunset of your life till date.
The charm of this show is also the unconventional style, with a story about a group of girlfriends that every girl wants to have. This trio truly cares about each other, and they show it in the most subtle yet overwhelming ways possible.
A simple sentence uttered by a character can open your eyes to the kind of person that character is, or tell you all about their story and make you understand them in an instance.
All the clever yet random yet in-your-face product placements were funny as hell, the songs were weird and funny and somehow fit the story well whenever they were used, the idiocy was cute instead of being annoying, the heartfelt moments between the group living together were cute, it was all SO AMAZING!
I fell in love with Jeon Yeo Been all over again. She had amazing chemistry with all her costars, and special mention to the director Son Seok Koo because he was DOWNRIGHT HILARIOUS and left a mark even in the short time he was in the show.
There are several more moments I can clearly recall in the show, that made me laugh out loud abruptly and made me interested in the show more and more.
EASY 10/10. I will MOST DEFINITELY be watching this show again in my life.

This is literally one of the best shows that anyone can ever grace their lives with.

THIS SHOW CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE. It made me believe in myself, it made me believe that no matter what stage of life I'm going through, I will never have everything figured out, and that's okay. In fact, that's LIFE because life is complicated, messy, unpredictable, harsh, rewarding, and beautiful.

Starting with my favourite character, Bae Ta Mi. She was the one that I have resonated with THE MOST in all my Kdrama history of female leads. She was devoted to her job, devoted to her sunbae (and the second main lead of the show), and had her life mostly figured out.
All until the day when she finds herself unemployed. Her life changes drastically there on, and through a new job and a new relationship, she has to constantly reinvent herself, and watching her clumsily and messily and gracefully handle life taught me that being strong is not about having all the answers, it's about working hard to be true to yourself and follow your heart and staying true to your goals and dreams and being honest and being stubborn.
She doesn't want to get married and have kids, but her partner does, and despite their strong feelings for each other, they struggle to find a balance between living in the moment, or being worried about the future. Her boyfriend was so spot on with the way he always challenged and also accommodated her, loved her, and wanted to be with her without any reservations. He was so damn sweet, honest and simply perfect for this role which is Jang Ki Young's best role without a doubt.
This relationship of him with her and her thought process was something I could STRONGLY relate too, because I feel the same as she does and I can picture myself to be in her shoes, where I find myself constantly having to explain why I don't want to get married, but someone who does never has to explain anything. She survives her life smartly, and despite being extremely emotional, she is brave and adamant in achieving her goals and she learns through her mistakes. She acknowledges that even though she thought she'd have her life figured out by 38, the fact that she doesn't surprises her, but she takes it in stride and marches on.
I could go on and on but I simply loved her and her sense of fashion was my FAVOURITE.

Secondly, the sunbae of the trio, who was ruthless and manipulative, but somehow found her way through til the end through a horribly abusive mother in law. Thirdly, the maknae of the group, who was bright and fierce in her anger and her love, and was super DUPER cute with Lee Jae Wook.

I also LOVED BRIAN HE IS LITERALLY THE BEST BOSS IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD.
I also loved all the other characters in the show, there was hardly anyone I disliked tbh.

TLDR: Loved it, EASY 100/10.

Me to Choi Mu Jin: Daddy? sorry, Daddy?...sorry, Daddy?

Choi Mu Jin is literally SO unbelievably sexy and dangerously hot, he made me forget what I was watching the whole time.
My man was really out there trying to give girls a major problem ever liking someone their own age, huh.
Well, he succeed, and THEN some.
I swooned every time he came on screen, every time he walked or smoked or damn existed. I was jealous of TaeJu for being so close to him, for our female protagonist that she got to hold his special attention.
I wished to be conquered by him. He definitely made me FEEL a lot of things and that made the show so damn enjoyable to me.
EASY thirst trap recommend 10/10

Only Ji Sung can make me watch and enjoy16+ hours of serious surgeries and doctor-politics LOL

Only Ji Sung can make me watch and enjoy16+ hours of serious surgeries, doctor-politics, heartbreaking discussions on euthanasia and actual blood, sweat, and tears.
He is as always PHENOMENAL in his role, and truly disappeared in his portrayal of the enigmatic Cha Yo Han. He was stellar, and so was the show.
I liked his relationship with the lead actress and enjoyed their interactions, he was adorable with her, and they had a fitting end together.
I LOVED the other doctors, the sister of the female lead with Lee was SO CUTE, and the other two male doctors with their adorable bromance.
The rest of the cast was great too.
The story has a lot of thoughtful moments, discussing what it means to be truly alive and what can blur the line between living/surviving so easily. It was enjoyable from beginning to the end, and for some reason didn't even feel like I had seen 16+ hours of this show, it kinda felt like a movie almost.
Highly recommended as a great medical drama.

This was a surprisingly heart warming show.

I started it because of Ji Sung and at first I was really disheartened to see him in a role which I rally disliked because he was acting in a really selfish manner. BUT as the story progressed it becomes clear that Ji Sung has come to terms with his previous life and that he also contributed in making his own life hell by simply not paying enough attention to his family, even though he didn't do it intentionally.
He also realises that he was simply in need of a break, rather than wanting a different person for a wife, he actually wanted a slightly different life but with the same person, and that realisation was slow but meaningful.
ALSO I can't believe this, but the first and only time in forever, I actually liked the second lead better than Ji Sung, only briefly but still. Jang Seung Jo absolutely STOLE MY HEART WITH HIS CUTENESS.
I also really enjoyed all the side characters at the bank, and the girl's mother as well, and the trio of friends were cute and fun!
Overall a great watch. Loved it.

What an absolute MASTERPIECE of a slow-burn, thriller show.

Watching Ji Sung is ALWAYS a delight, the way he portrayed confidence, heartbreak, confusion, despair, desperation, misery, PAIN, and anguish was just TOO GOOD. I teared up at several points through the show and I just couldn't hold myself back from desperately wishing for him to achieve some sort of happiness through his seemingly never-ending pain.
That man is a true POWERHOUSE of acting, just brilliant to watch.
His chemistry and bromance with Shin Chul Shik and all his OPTIMUS PRIME glory lmao. He was amazing and hilarious to watch.
The support our prosecutor received from his cell-mates was touching and heartwarming, and it was so easy to become involved in their personal lives too and cheer for their happiness also. The side characters were all endearing and sweet and it was a delight to see them interact with each other. I loved how, instead of telling people that the cell-mates were a family, they SHOWED that they were a family through their actions and their encouragement and their interactions.
Every single scene of our dear prosecutor and his family in flashbacks was so damn sweet and so damn sad T-T.
I HATED the villain in this one, he was absolutely revolting and it was sickening how he acted, kudos to the actor I guess. BUT even more than that I HATED HATED HATED the 'friend' prosecutor. He should've burned in hell tbh, he was TERRIBLE.
The female attorney was too damn sweet to Ji Sung, at one point she even Googled 'How to aid in breaking someone out of prison' and that was A D O R A B L E. I loved how the brother-in-law was as a character, he was righteous but he changed his views and opinions and actions as the story progressed.
I liked the pace of the story, but overall it could've maybe been better in a 14/16 episode format, but that's taking it from a 100% to a 1000% tbh, it was thrilling throughout! LOVED IT.
I would highly recommend it.

This series is a MASTERPIECE and Yeo Jin Goo is a MASTER

Every single episode had me wanting MORE, the story induced a perfect blend of mystery, dread, hope, anticipation in every moment. From the very first scene, I was intrigued and fully immersed into both the universes, and tried my best to make sense of it and to solve the mystery surrounding both the brothers.
They seamless way they showed the past and the future in each episode, the way that each new discovery was the most amazing cliffhanger to end each part of the story, the way both the worlds seemed to slowly become connected into the viewers mind, just pure GENIUS.

Yeo Jin Goo, how he can melt my heart with just one LOOK every SINGLE time? It will always be a mystery to me. He is just one of the best and most versatile and talented actors of the industry, and it showed in every frustrated exclamation, every desperate call to make his hyung see sense, in every hidden attempt to climb the ladder and work and study despite his surroundings just so he could care for his grandmother and search for his brother all on his own. Every single scene was executed BEAUTIFULLY.

How Byum Gyun as an adult Kim Joon Hyuk relied completely on only derived and eternal memories to look for his younger brother, how he cleverly manipulated the 'Smart Earth' morons to reveal their illegal activities step-by-step, how the whole police station, and Byul, and also Park Min Young worked with him to bring justice to these two twin brothers while coming to terms with their reality, it was amazing to watch.

I loved the bond between Woo Jin and Byul, I LOVED how PERFECTLY and SEAMLESSLY the two world connected with each other, I LOVED how they explained each and every single plot point.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the bond between the twins, whether they were younger, or even when they were older. I also LOVED how the entire staff probably loved Yeo Jin Goo so much that they managed to create a story where Yeo Jin Goo would keep playing the part even after 20years into the story.
Overall, a VERY astonishingly great watch and discovery, great screenwriting/scriptwriting and just thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

LOVED this show so much.

LOVED JJH as the calm and collected handsome lawyer making everyone dance to his tunes like puppets on a string, which he doesn't even need to control directly! The plot he set in motion was merely kindling for the fire already going on in the lives of those he set out to take revenge from. He is sinister in the initial episodes, transforming into someone who isn't sure of himself anymore, and somehow turns helpless to stop the plan he himself set in motion. The good guy being the bad guy, realising that the world isn't black and white at all. He has several people around him trying to make him see light at the end of his pain, but he realises it isn't easy, and that maybe he can't do it now even if he wanted to.

The second lead, UTW as the hard-working detective who has been suffering all his life after a truly unfortunate incident which destroyed so many lives, to his overbearing father who set it in motion by underestimating the power of someone vowing revenge. He pushes everyone away from him, wants support but doesn't seek it, watches his whole life crumble before his eyes, realises that nothing he believed in was real, and is powerless to stop his family and friends from breaking apart due to their own actions.

Our lovely female lead, SMA as the innocent and optimistic librarian who can't help but fall for one of our leads (don't blame her for her choice of love interest btw) , and tries to offer them both the support they both desperately need because it's obvious that she cares about them both. Her psychometric abilities prove to be useful but ultimately useless as she is able to predict events a little too late every time, and has to see the people she has come to care deeply about fall into the never ending path of suffering.

TLDR: The cast was perfect, the main leads were brilliant at conveying their feelings and emotions, and story did everyone justice. The soundtrack was perfect, and the story moved at a slow pace but fit the overall theme of the show. One of the best Korean drama I've seen and I highly recommend it! The end was perfect, and no other ending could've given it justice.

WHAT A SHOW. I loved the satisfying ending.

Ju Ji Hoon, what a sweetheart, he was so amazing at portraying the sexiest ace attorney EVER at a prestigious law firm. His charming aura, his manly fashion, his calm and collected dialogue delivery, his steadfast acting, it all was so GORGEOUS to watch. He really truly was in love with the female lead, without ever stifling her, or trying to change her, he truly only wanted two things from her, an apology, and then a relationship, which I hated to watch (bc FL was kind of a bitch) but it was ALWAYS heart-fluttering instead of cringy. JJH has this way of making literally ANYTHING look good.
I was so hurt on his behalf after episode 1, because I really wanted to punish the despicable girl who broke his heart, THAT'S how good he was at showing how taken he was with the girl.

The FL used people and left them for dead, like a hyena, and that's the show! And she stays exactly the same all the way to the very end. In that sense, she was brilliant. She never swayed an inch no matter who cursed at her for her background, for her lack of education, for he lack of class, she just marched on. She really said 'Fuck me if you can' and walked away with victories in her arms. I loved that, truly I did.
BUT her actions never had ANY consequences, which I HATED, and also how every male was completely enamoured with her for no reason at all, which was just annoying to watch.

The background characters in the show had just the right amount of screen-time, they were so good, and were there exactly when they were needed, no more no less.
The story was paced well, and the villain got a good end, exactly what he deserved. All the featured cases in the show were interesting to watch and decipher, and the arc with JJH's father was really intriguing to watch.

Easy 10/10. Highly Recommended!

I CANNOT BELIEVE THE RATING. IT DESERVES A 100/10.

The movie keeps you guessing about the feelings of the actors and the characters separately, starts off in a typical 'old guy accidentally seduces new guy' stereotype, BUT changes into something amazing when you realise what's actually happening. you end up blown away and won't forget the ending, even though it's not a mystery genre.

The idol was moved by the veteran actor's acting when he first met him, and eventually learned the method way of acting and practised each and every single thing he absorbed from the veteran actor, on him in real life too!
After the idol stormed off at the press conference when he expected some kind of open confession from the veteran guy, and was met with 'this was just method acting', he decided to give the veteran actor a taste of his own medicine, and thoroughly schooled him on what 'method acting' is.
In the end the idol, although somewhat moved by the actor and maybe he had some feelings for him too, managed to move on easily because he understood the game. The veteran was used to method acting but he didn't realise that the idol would practise it on him, and the amazing kissing scene was proof that he was maybe in too deep for once. Eventually his wife would still comfort him, so that's that. He probably was confused about himself for a long time after that.

And that kissing scene *phew*

I LOVED this adaptation SO MUCH.

The show really has a flavour of its own, and is able to sustain the gentle mystery theme throughout, and I loved all the intros, and specially the restaurant murder in episode 9, the cast looked so damn good in formal wear.
Also loved the cast and the engaging plot and also the 'Wakamiya-chan' cuteness from Shishio. Recommend to see a different type of Sherlock which is just as entertaining.
The ambience of this show was too immersive, and was honest to the source material as much as possible, the murders really felt like I was watching a true rendition of how Sherlock would've been had it been created in a modern day Japan setting, with the murders and characters all playing a great role.

I wish I could give this show a rating of 100/10.

Loved the story, the cast, their acting, the ost, the chemistry of all four leads with each other, the relationships they formed, the development in their lives over the course of the show, EVERYTHING.

LOVED Lee Jun-Ho's chemistry with every single person in the show, LOVED THE FATHER SON BONDING MOMENTS BETWEEN HIM AND HIS ACTUAL FATHER, AND ALSO BETWEEN HIM AND DETECTIVE CHUN-HO, in most of those scenes I was sitting with a big smile on my face!!!
LOVED watching Madame Jin, her role was perfection, and the actress was tailored for it and I loved watching a woman in a role like that.
