Random Series

Are you familiar with the word spectrum, or scale?
Not everything in the world is binary. Not everything is either 0 or 10. Not everything is either complete love or hate.
Criticising something doesn't mean hating.
Also, overrated doesn't mean bad. It just means that has a score higher than you think it deserves.
I am having fun with this drama, and I am enjoying the time I am spending watching it, but that doesn't make me blind to its shortcomings.

I think the ML &FL have chemistry together, but the female villian (thanks to the actress) is probably the most interesting character.

It is certainly overrated (I believe this number will go down once the series end and people start rating it. Those ratings are largely by those who are loving it too much and they are not waiting, but the majority is still waiting to the end), but I think the more important question is are you enjoying it or not?
The answer to that question rather than the rating should be deciding factor imo.

For the record, I am enjoying it and having fun with it, but I would rate it about 7 or 7.5 based on the first 8 episodes.

After 4 episodes.
Why this drama has such a low profile??
I started it partly on a whim, partly because of the two main actresses. But, I found myself sucked in.
It has real people with real problems.

Ah! Ok. Sorry.
I suppose you have to read reviews and just ignore the score.
For example I gave it 6.5, which is in the eyes of many that is very bad.
But, to me, it was a decent series with good mystery and a reveal that I didn't expect.
However, it is very generic without anything special or memorable.

It is a decent mystery series with a really good reveal. I enjoyed it.
But, nothing to stay with you for long. 6.5/10

The biggest problem in this is that everyone has their own system.
The same number means different thing to different people.
And, maybe even more importantly, the reason behind the score.
Ratings is a very poor criteria to choose a drama imo, especially in our days when people rate things that they haven't even watched, or they rate based on their personal opinion about the creative teams regardless of the series itself. Also, some people bomb rate, etc etc etc.

A Top 10 all times favourite (all languages included).

Generally speaking there is a rating inflation.
Personally, I am enjoying it. It is lighthearted harmless fun. But, I would say it is closer to 7 than 8.
The problem with rating is that the same number means something differently to different people, and that is why rating is a poor criteria for choosing drama imo.

I am sorry that you had to go through similar situation.
It is a bit awkward and hard to discuss personal issues, because I have questions for you. However, I don't feel it is appropriate for me to ask you probing personal questions just for the sake of drama discussion, especially if it is going to bring bad memories. We come here (at least me) to have fun mainly.
So, lets just agree to disagree :)
But, I just want to make it clear that I am really enjoying the series. My objection to one character doesn't negate all the other good aspects of it.
I am not one of those who are all or nothing.

Ok. I hear you, and there is an amount of logic in what you say.
I guess it is a personal judgment.
I am simply not convinced, but at least I can see your point of view.

First of all, I am talking about first life. Everything happening in her second life make sense.
I respectfully disagree. You can have stability and family with another man. The series implied that she had othe boyfriends, so she can try with another one.
I didn't say she had better job. I said she held the same positin (you can re-read my post). But, she had more money than him.

If you can understand her, good for you. Personally, I can't.

I am really enjoying the series, but Min Hwan character is badly written, or adapted (I haven't read the webtoon).
I can't fathom why would Ji Won wants him (first life)?
Even if we assume the young Ji Won had self esteem issues, the adult one went to university and she is probably the most qualified amongst her colleagues. She hold the same position at work. She has more money than him, and now in E8 she said she knew he was a jerk.
It really stretch the believability that she would stay with him. If they at least made her in love with him I can understand that. But, she is litreally better than him in every department, and she doesn't love him. Why on earth would she marry him??
They are unfortunately making him bad in everything. He needed to be written more like Sumin. A baddie, but with many skills.
In the early episodes he used to annoy me, and make me angry. Now, I just shrug.

P.S: The misspelling scene actually made me laugh instead of being outraged.

Ji Won & Ji Yuk move aside.
Here come Hee Yeon & Eun Ho.

I haven't seen Welcome to Waikiki so I am watching him with fresh eyes.
I am certainly closer to you, but he is also given (and that is the writer/director vision) that useless/helpless villian image.
He is really very bad towards Ji Won, but he is so pathetic elsewhere I can also understand what others are saying.
Unlike Su-min who is just an all round great baddie. I think the actress playing her deserves big credit.

I haven't read the Webtoon, so everything is speculation.
This is a general comment, not neccessarily about this specific drama.
Knowing the future doesn't completely change ones personality. It changes certain aspects of their actions, but personality changes takes a bit of time.
As for the specific drama. The rules of time travel and action consequences haven't been well explained, but regardless, she can't just go Kill Bill because she know the future. The social and economic restrictions are still there.
For example if she starts shouting back at her a** h*** manager, she will probably get fired, and that completely derail the plan. So, she has to act within the same norms. She is playing "the long game" so to speak. She is sacrificing momentary satisfaction to gain the ultimate goal. And, she has already scored her first victory in E6.

In addition to that, almost all stories in all mediums from the entire world have more or less the same basic ideas. They are just done differently.

I loved glasses as well, especially ML.
I know I am probably in tiniest of minorties, but I thought FL looked better before the transformation. Her hair looked better, and the glasses were Ok. Her clothes are nicer, but overall she doesn't look better to me.

That said, you have to be fair to Koreans. Thy are not the only ones who do that about glasses. I can list lots of movies/series from around the world where taking of glasses is meant to indicate that they look better now.

E11??!!
Considering that only 6 episodes have aired, I am suspecting that you are also time traveller lol.

That is the drama's biggest achievement, because Mondays are suddenly not so bad. lol
