Jiwoo lost so much and gain nothing.
Revenge shows are always enjoyable, since is an easy way to throw action into the big screen and some badass characters.Most people enjoyed this series because of "finally a strong female lead ready to kick ass" and that's not it, she's not "strong" she's completely broken, traumatized. It's pretty sad, and people don't see it. But then Netflix wanted to force the typical badass girl who can beat 10 experienced guys all alone.
The camara work is so weird. It has bad angels, sometimes some really bad fast movements and then very basic ones. It's not interesting or creative.
It felt the series tried to have plot twists over and over again to shock the audience, but everything was obvious since like ep 2. Because basic revenge stories are like this.
Some really hated the love scene, I didn't mind it at all, both of them were having a break down and that was their way to find contort (i guess).
Jiwoo lost so much and gain nothing. She was so blind, that she never really noticed that.
I had a totally different ending in mind honestly. I thought she was going to shoot herself in the middle of the fight with Moo Jin. I thought she would finally realize that she would never gain anything for that revenge and she already lost so much when she choose this way, even when Moo Jin told her not to seek for it. And maybe after that Moo Jin would be in pain cause in the end she never really betrayed him.
Anyways I was confident that she would kill herself either way.
I love the actress lead. But idk I wasn't a fan like other people for her here. I don't think she was a good fit. The dynamic between her and Moojin, yes. I can see the try hard behind it. It was very good. Moojin was probably my fav character and the actor slayed it.

The idea it's great, as well the atmosphere. The acting was also amazing. However there's so many little stupid mistakes.1. Like when she was screaming to call him (to save the other girl), how did no one heard her? There were so many houses near by.
2. The last fight in the alley, how did no one saw it?? There were so many noise and so many people!!!
3. The police officer didn't deserve that happy ending, sorry, I get it that you are worried about your sister, but you didn't need him to find her, the deaf girl knew where she was, you could just search that area, since this is all in one night, the killer couldn't move. (and it was also inhuman). Also why didn't he ask for backup?
4. The mother could have done better in the police station, like push the suitcase to make noise and show the tools (but well she was too shocked to do something, what is understandable) , but how tf there's no cameras there?? And the police just saw a fight and let everyone go home??? bruh
5. And yeah lets let two people (covered in blood) running by the road.
But I'm not going to say, that I hated it. I love this fast thrillers movies. So I enjoy it for it.

I actually was about to drop this drama. It was just another "ok" drama. It was kind of enjoyable and funny, but I skipped so many parts...
STORY: 7/10
It's not something new nor original. It is actually not my cup of tea. Somehow it was slow and pretty cute.
CAST: 8/10
Ok. Yes, it was a really good cast with cool characters. There's not the "annoying" nor "bad" character, what makes it amazing to watch.
I don't have an opinion about the main girl. I didn't like her in the beginning, but then I just didn't mind her at all.
The same with the main guy.
I really liked Jennifer, she was so funny and mysterious and simple.
The acting was what we usually watch in dramas, nothing more.
OST: 10/10
It was so good!!

There's no doubt that "Mr.Sunshine" is focused on everything visual.
- Beautiful natural landscapes/background and scenery.
- Amazing and epic cinematography.
- Good color work, light and shadow.
- Classic and cultural clothing.
- Great graphics and effects.
- And even a great sound work.
It is beautiful.
The drama is very descriptive, detailed and symbolic.
The drama has a deep love story, which is something I usually don't like, but surprisingly, this drama hits my favourites and was quite funny. The comedy is so subtle and well tailored into the scenes.
Lee Byung-Hun is one of the best korean actors and the most popular internationally and Kim Tae-Ri has so much talent. A she proves that in one of the best movies, "The Handmaiden", so these two actors accepted these roles because, they knew this drama would be different and epic.
Amazing support characters.
Even though 3 leads love the same woman, their love is pure and everyone of them is willing to sacrifice. I really like the fact that there is no jealous relationship that turned people into evil beings.
The drama also shows girl power with such badass and awesome female characters, which I completely loved!
You can wait for 10/10 from all actors.. Acting, characters, excellent.
Mr.Sunshine is a truly piece of art.

I have mixed feelings about this drama. It wasn't bad nor good, but sometimes I really hated it or loved it lol...
I was watching this just because of Kim Jung Hyun...and after his departure, it became a bit boring to watch....
STORY: 7/10
The story itself is boring, because we already know everything: the villains, the way the victim died and that stuff. It’s just watching the good guys catching the bad guys and finding out how she died. That makes the viewers and/or just me bored. But yet, it is interesting to watch from this perspective.
It was really frustrating to watch this drama because, the bad guys just become even worse and the good ones continue to be only good...and then Ji Hyun (Seo Hyun)... seems like she didn't do anything in most episodes...
When Kim Jung Hyun left the drama, I think the writer was really stressed out that the drama was falling down more and more...his character was carrying the show...at least for me.
CAST: 7/10
I like how complex the characters are.
Kim Jung Hyun//Cheon Soo Ho - He proved it here, that he is a brilliant actor and can play anything. His acting and character were just amazing. I don’t even have words to explain it lol
Seo Hyun//Seol Ji Hyun- Neh, is really a "Neh" for her acting and character. I felt like her character is a puzzle with missing pieces. It is missing something...and as I said before, she seemed to do nothing...what makes her even poorer. Then there was her acting, I do have to say, i'm not a fan of it. There are times when she's good and others she's bad. But she didn't convince me, sorry.
Hwang Seung Eon//Eun Chae A- I'm going to talk about her, since I really like her. This role fits her so well. I really enjoyed seeing her.
THE ROMANCE- It was actually working... dark and melo romances in this type of dramas work really well.
OST: 8/10
I liked the end. It wasn’t a surprise, but it was clean and complete, with nothing missing.

Time travel is really interesting, but can be very messy too. Since the writer is Yang Hee-Seung (Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo, Oh my Ghost) you can look forward to see many funny moments and a very enjoyable drama but I couldn't take the drama seriously. The drama was too long. It could have just been 12 episodes....
STORY:
It is one of the typical time travel stories. I actually didn't like the concept of "it’s always the man's fault when there's trouble in the marriage".
CAST:
Jisung is an actor that makes the drama really enjoyable with his acting. I kinda liked his character, but he was selfish and no one actually talked about that, but then, he had such a good devolvement.
This is the first time I watch a work from Han Ji Min and she's so good, this role fits her so well.
Amazing support characters. They were so funny and refreshing.
[NEGATIVE POINTS]
--[SPOILERS]--
.
.
.
(This is the part when he wanted to go back to the past.)
1) They lost their son and he didn't care. We just watched one short part when he felt "sorry".
2) His actions were not because of "jealousy", but because he was being selfish about how happy his "wife" and his best friend were together. He was always in the way of these two, because he didn't want his best friend and "wife" to end up as a couple, which is so selfish and childish.
3) His sister married his other friend and had a child, and he still didn't care about it.
4) He didn't think or cared for his "new" wife either.
But as I said, he had a really good devolvement.
5) Now a different problem: for me things got fucked when WooJin uses the coin to time travel. They could have removed that part....

--[END OF SPOILERS]--
The drama had a really good ending!
Yes, I do recommend this drama. It was very enjoyable.
Was this review helpful to you?
This is the best drama from this half of the year. I really enjoyed the drama even though it had boring conversations about power and law (I really hate that).
STORY:
The concept of a twin that ends up taking his/hers brother's/sister's place is become more popular and it is very interesting to watch and even funny.
"Your Honor" had a perfect amount of romance and the story was pretty good and made me very excited to watch the drama. It is just a pity that the writer didn't show that much of the relationship between the brothers (in the present)...
CAST:
It is so good to see Yoon Shi Yoon again. He was simply perfect. He played his two roles really well.
He's such a funny and cute actor! He seems so comfortable in his roles. He and Jisung are the top actors that make dramas so enjoyable to watch and all thanks to their performances.
Lee Yoo Young - I really felt for her at first sight in "You drive me Crazy" and now I could see more from her. She's very natural and I like that fact. But she's a good actress with a good potential.
The rest of the cast had a good acting, but I won't say that I love the characters, because some of them were the typical ones in law dramas...
The chemistry was sooooo good!! It was so natural and stress free and 'Hate to Love' relationship.
OST:
I never paid that much attention to ost in Law dramas, but this one I couldn't stop listening to it.
THE END: [NO SPOILERS]
Bad, honestly....it was rushed, incomplete and not clear.
Not bad in the sad way, because it is lovely, but it was sooooo incomplete !! They didn't show what happens with the other characters and other things...

I'm part of those 5% or even 0% who think this drama was just "ok"...
People were crazy loving this drama, but I didn't see anything special about it.
I started the drama because it is a school drama, and I love that type of shows and maybe because of Eunwoo too. I was curious how he would behave in a main role.
->STORY
It is different and it is about something that we don't usually see in shows: Plastic surgeries. But honestly that was the only thing that made the drama "ok" for me. And then we have the romantic side story, that was the usual couples we see in kdramas. But they focused in the romance too much.
->CAST
Failed a bit.
The characters are the typical ones in school dramas. The innocent main girl, the quiet, handsome, popular main guy, the 2nd lead guy who is nice and cute, the girl who is a bitch, the protective best friend, etc...
People were saying Eunwoo did really good and his acting is amazing, but where exactly? He didn’t change his expressions for the whole 16 episodes. We actually don't know much about his acting skills.
Im Soo Hyang//Mi Rae- Her acting was kind of ok, but she never changed her face expressions...it was so boring...
Her character was kind of off. She made a plastic surgery to be loved and feel ordinary, and there's nothing wrong with that, but she doesn't try to be loved either. Some of her actions are ridiculous. If she wants to start from zero, she needs to act like so.
Soo Ah, yes I’m going to talk about her, she was the typical bitch.
She has no developments during the drama, only in the last episodes we see her perspective.
I didn't hate her, I even think she was better that the female lead lol. But yes, she continued to be annoying.
I'm actually happy they added Mi Rae's best friend, if she didn't exist, it would have been a little boring, but it is a pity that we don't know about their friendship in the past, we always saw Mirai alone in the past...
2nd lead guy, another unnecessary love triangle...
->CHEMISTRY
Yeah, they were very cute together and lovely, but I have to admit it was kind of awkward.
->OST
Neh...it is energetic and good to listen to, but nothing more.
-> [Rewatch Value: Low just because I'm not the person who rewatches dramas, just really the ones I love]

I was choosing between "Reply 1988" and "Reply 1997", and I end up seeing this.
It’s such a good drama, and a must watch.
Reply 1988 made me feel how good the past was, they appreciated the most simple and unique things, like family and friendship. I was so jealous seeing that neighborhood, they shared everything and they had such a good friendship...and I live alone xD
So the drama is really good, one of my favourites. The story and the cast is amazing. And the music, that old music with those old beats are so beautiful and good to hear.
Even though I had the wrong shipp and in the end, it made me sad, I really don't care, I still love the drama.
I had such a good time watching this. <3

For some people the drama is very soft, refreshing, with no stress, and yes it’s true, but I find it kind of boring...
Honestly I didn't like the main characters/actors that much. For me, the acting itself of Bona is boring, the way she talks, acts and shows her emotions is boring, and I actually thought the same with Ha Suk Jin.
I can't hide that I liked that friendship between the girls. I completely loved the support couples and their stories, but I didn't like the main couple, they were cute, but didn't have a good chemistry and their relationship as lovers was so rushed.
I was seriously enjoying the drama in the last episodes, everything seems more "alive" and enjoyable.

-STORY
To be honest, I actually just "liked" the story, it was a mystery story with a good amount of romance, at the same time.
Everything is so well written, that every episode is so enjoyable and nothing is messy.
-CAST
Kim Nam Joo brought us a strong and independent lead female.
All the cast was awesome, and all of them did an excellent acting.
So why did I give a 9? Because of some characters: The investigador started do be kind of annoying; Eun Joo was so blind because of revenge and from her point of view, everything was "unfair"; Myung Woo didn't show any feelings or emotions.
Also, age doesn't define beauty. Kim Nam Joo is 47 years old and she is so beautiful and sexy. Same with the male cast.
-OST
Yeah, the music was good...well placed....
- THE END [NO SPOILERS]
Since the beginning of the drama that I had guessed how the victim died, so I was not surprised when they discovered it, but while I was watching the final episode, I was disappointed about what was happening. But, in the very end I totally loved it. It was the kind of ending I love!
-OVERALL
Such a good, dark, mysterious, mature and romantic drama.
For me, the drama was really good, but I don't understand why this drama is so underrated...
If you are looking for some drama like this, I highly recommend "Mistress"

I WATCHED THIS DRAMA 3 TIMES, WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR THE NEW EPISODES, I WAS LITERALLY SICK OF WAITING!
NOW LET'S GO!!
Here's a big review
->INTRODUCTION:
Keep this in mind while watching the drama:
"Humans can use each other and throw each other away in ways that are inhumane. That’s why people experience loneliness even in a crowd. Among these people, Namshin III is designed to listen to people until the end, help the weak, and comfort the crying.
He is a very humane robot living among inhumane people, that raises the question of what it means to be human. We hope that people can have the courage to say to people who betray the ideals of humanity, ‘Are you human, too?'". -The drama is about that.
"Are you human, too?" will make you reflect on society and see how unpleasant it can be. It is a drama where you actually have to use your brain and think why some characters are the way they are.
->STORY: 10/10
I find the drama fast. It's not boring, and it is very enjoyable in every moment.
The story is very original and it is a new experience for us to live and feel. But hey, the story is not just what I said in the "introduction", it focused a love relationship between a human and a robot. What I find super interesting and yet, sweet. Because of this, you will always feel worried about the end, starting from the first episode. Also, the drama is SUPER unpredictable, believe me...you are going to feel shocked a lot of times.
To be honest I don't understand why people say that this is similar to "I'm not a robot". The only thing they have in common is the fact that both talk about robots...
-> CAST: 10/10
Oh yeaahh....prepare yourself to fall in love completely with a robot, like a crazy person (me) x)
Seo Kang Jun is the most hot, sexy, lovely and cute robot of all time and the way he smiled...killed me...
I seriously need this robot. PLEASE GIVE ME AN NAM SHIN3!!!!
Seo Kang Jun played 3 different characters: a human that is greedy, an innocent robot and a robot imitating the human; acting was FUKING AMAZING in every way. His facial expressions never failed. I was stunned.
Now...the female lead had a LOT of hate. I saw such bad comments about her, like wishing her to die...
I am going to be honest.... I absolutely loved her! You can hate everything about her in the beginning, but then you're going to regret that.
She's a real female lead! She had a slow, but visible development.
Not every (female) lead has to be hard-working, determined, cute or innocent. So Bong really represents humans in general and she broke those barriers while bringing it to reality.
Others characters...most of them are annoying and you are going to hate them so much, but remember, sometimes we need these characters in order to have a “complete” and “real” drama and every single character had a purpose. As I said before, this reveals how unpleasant society can be. So they are pretty realistic.
-> THE CHEMESTRY
Having a human and a robot in a love relationship is going to make you feel confused and worried, because it is something "wrong", but at the same time it is so damn sweet. Their chemistry was ridiculously adorable. I screamed so many times and blushed in their scenes. Those shot me right through the heart >///<.
Another thing I find absolutely beautiful, is the fact that both leads have brown eyes. ????
But yeah, I was in love with this couple <3
#BrownEyedCouple
-> OST: 10/10
So far...the drama has the best ost of the year and of all time. Magnific music and so well placed. Also, very rememberable.
-> CINEMATOGRAPHY
Really well done! I liked the camera work so much. I know they spent a lot of money here, but they really did a good job. The scenario is wonderful! Beautiful landscapes.
Even the graphics used in the robot were so cool.
-> THE END
I loved the end, I do admit was a bit rushed, but was lovely.
-> LITTLE NEGATIVE NOTES
1) Maybe show more about Bo Song? We really don't know much about her past life.
2) Make Bo Song strong (physical) she's a bodyguard, right? How about some action scenes with her?
-> WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
Absolutely! I would even say that it is a MUST-WATCH.
Please don't give up on the first couple of episodes because of the female lead -__- and at least try to be in her position...
Fact: Wherever Seo Kang Jun is, it is worth watching!
I also find the drama very addictive.
->OVERALL: 10/10
I saw the trailer and read every news about the drama and cast, and everything I was expecting, was in the drama. I loved how unpredictable and original it was. I'm really happy that it didn't disappoint me <3.
One of my favourites!!
SO YEAH, GET READY TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A ROBOT

The story was pretty different but in the same time was "okay"
For me was dificult to fall in love with the main characters, anyway I started to like her (Just Oh Hae-Young), but the others (Support characters) were the best.
The best caracters were Park Soo-Kyung, Lee Jin-Sang and Oh Kyung-Soo (Just Oh Hae-Young's father)
Park Soo-Kyung puts the comedy here, she was so badass and crazy.
I enjoyed the drama

Also, the story is very light and dreamful.
This drama is so damn enjoyable and funny. I was laughing like a crazy person in every episode.
The characters were so simple but sooo funny, there's not a single "annoying" character, the vice president (Park Seo Joon) can be very self absorbed, but he was so sweet and funny XD
The chemistry was so good, it felt like they were really in love, I watched the bts and they are so cute. The problem was how much they cared about the past. Felt like 50% of their romance was because of the past and the other 50% was about the present.
I loved all of the support characters mainly Bong Se-Ra (Hwang Bo-Ra). The other couples were so funny. The vice president’s brother was very "radom" or "invisible" because most of viewers didn't really care about him (I think).
I can quite see this is a work of the same director of "Because This Is My First Life". He really likes to put comic sounds in the background. I hope he can someday make a drama based in the webtoon "Who invited you"!
So "what's wrong with secretary Kim" was one of the most anticipated dramas of the year, it had great reviews and popularity and it will be one of the best dramas ever.
A must-watch!

In this drama he looks soooo good. Also, he improved his acting so much.
I can say that I hate his character, he's a scum and it seems like he doesn't have an evolution. But he is Yamaazaki kento...how can I actually hate him? xD
The girl, in the beginning, was creepy af, but she's so cute!! And she's such a lucky girl!!! How many times did she kiss him???
The story.
At the begging I was thinking: 'Going back so shortly in time, can be pretty boring.' Actually it wasn't.
The story is interesting, original and I can even say it's dark. Since the suspense to the romance, everything was perfect. But I still have questions....
The end. I liked it, but I didn't feel happy at all.
The only bad things were:
- The camera work: There are few parts (normally the shock scenes) in which the camera moves laterally, and I just don't understand why they did that!!
- The music: The music is good, but in some parts, a stupid sound comes up and it is so bad.
One of the best Jdramas ever.
