Random Series

I know my opinion is probably unpopular, but I don't care.
I find Song Ha Yoon acting better than Park Min Young. I came to this series without prejudices. I am seeing both of them for the first time.

She is so fantastically evil!. I love her scenes.

Haha
.....and all that while they are sitting in Subway.

They are missing Ji Won long hair lol

Few thoughts on Episode 9:
* Are we meant to forgive these school bullies and pin it on Soomin? As far as I am concened, they are bullies. I might give them mitagiting circumstances because they were young, but they didn't seem to change a lot as adults. They are just ganging to bully someone else.
*The meet the parents scene, and the future mother in law was played with exaggeration and over the top rudness for obvious reasons, and I am fine with that. But, what crossed my mind is that the sad thing is the substance of what she said is probably not that far from real life.
* "Ahjumma" that was the best moment of the episode for me! (I am sure I am not alone, but It is satsfying as an International viewer when you start picking not only words/phrases, but also their implications without the need for subtitles)
*Flipping Minhuwan was also very satsfying.

My answer is to the original poster, not to you.
I agree with what you said.

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.
