Great female lead and interesting story that is less familiar then one may think
I came for Han Ji Min and stayed for the story.What if... don´t we all have the what if I had stayed... what if I had showed upp in time... If I could just redo this one thing would my life change and would I be happier? What about the people around me would they be happier in a world where I made a different choice?
The story start off like many other stories like them an unhappy marriage. a miserabel life filled with misfortune and lets face it a guy who is a total d**** , to be honest the guy may evolve as the story progresses but he is still a total coward and a d**** hence not very lovable (yet handsome) making me wish the female lead would stay singel . The female lead is however cool, fun and just has this amazing vibe to her that made me wish her all the happiness in the world, no matter who is or is not beside her.
The acting in this drama is great, the side characters are all lovable, and add that little extra spark to the story-line. The pace of the drama is good as well and it truly is a good drama that almost makes you forget the whole back to the future theme to it...
If you have seen go back couple this drama is a bit more mature it has more drama, more smart humor, less awkward humor and is more about the male leads journey and how small choices can change ones life completely. More responsibility less communication problems, and an entirely different plot. I liked both the acting, the plot and the side characters in familiar wife more (but enjoyed both).
Last but not least, I was really surprised by the ending so I guess this may not be a must watch but definitely worth the watch !

An interesting approach to death
I think I am a little bit to atheist for this movie... I also grew up in religious settings making this slightly trigger my "oh god no" reflex so I feel like I should start this review with some kind of disclaimer, apology...Basically this is a movie that takes on the idea of gods plan with a slightly new approach while staying true to the self sacrifice... The pain and suffering you feel now are all part of gods plan that will lead others to greatness...
What I liked about this was the female leads acting as well as how they show how not all mens fragile egos can affect them negatively as well as lead them to making bad, really, really bad choices where they at the end of the day really can not blame anyone but themselves.
I also liked the guy playing lodz, such a sweety who did a really great job portraying what one could perceive as the so called lord but also some type of psychopath. Basically teaching us that we should all die so that others can shine.
So cheers to death

Is it Love? or is it just an addiction?
So this is a story about the extremely impulsive chef, who pretty much forgets all decency to cling on to the object of his obsession and the person, who forgot about herself and became that object... until she finally realised being that object is not really good for her.However as addcitions go, once tempted it is a little bit to easy to relapse...
Either that or it is a story about true love, second chances, holding on no matter what.... Love will find a way... What once was broken can be fixed.
Or maybe it is both?
A thing this movie does pretty well is show that love is not always enough, and that there is indeed a love that brings both down when it should be making you stronger and better.
I am not relally sure if they ever get to showing love at all or if we just get to witness a bunch of people with obsession... But somehow these people seem to call it love.
That said, it kept my attention, leads and friends in this are mostly charming, the kisses are decent and the food and scenery is lovely.

Dr, just take his soul already...
this is one of those dramas that had me roling my eyes over and over again...The Dr. male lead is a childish little kod (both young and not as young), lacks all sense of responsibility, is impulsive, has awful mimics and needs a lesson or ten in acting. The most impressive part about his guy was his healing ability as there was not a single sign of previous illness or operation. His skin was as smooth as it gets.
The Grim Reaper on the other hand had a scar, no where one would would predict, but stil I did spot one. This guy can act, has geeat mimics. IS such a sweaty and probably one of the reason s I did not drop it. The two do share some pretty decent phisical moments and more of a eat the fish than dead fish type of kisses.
The Dr.female best friend, the other grim reaper and the nurse where also top characters, fun to watch, sweet, human (ok not all human) loving, fun.
The rest of the cast was ok I guess.
The plot was under developed, full of holes and while I did appreciate the idea of a person who has a recycled organ portrayed as a person I just couldn't care less about the plot whatever that plot was other then the ocational roll of eyes it just dod not get to me at all.
Nothing I recommend, but if you do watch it you could just skip most of the scenes with the dr. male lead and go for the rest.

Trash
Reading the description of this series you know this is going to be bad.And indeed this series delivers as it is so bad, it is entertaining, but oh so bad. the dialog is awful, the lighting hideous, the sound and subs where also terrible.
The leads where actually not so bad... And the kid was actually both cute and a better actor than most of the adults.
But oh the lighting, the running in the dark, watersplash, watching this you find yourself wondering how bad it will get, can it get any worse?
And well the answer is yes it can.

Whispering, Short, Sweet kind of Sexy
This is an easy binge, a nice pallet cleanser between heavier drama, packed with humour flirting, insecurity.In the center of this drama there is a big misunderstanding and traumas past, There to offer some kind of meaning to this otherwise easy flirtatious fluff.
The pacing is a bit fast for my taste, and I do believe they use action above words most of the time... But they did make way for some pretty sexy and fun shower and bed scenes offering us such great lines as "Do you ever think of me while you play with yourself in the shower"
A decent watch, with nothing but lovable interesting characters.
P.S. The whispers in this deserve a tag of their own.
Also the casting for the young versions was perfection.

Preachy Paths and Ideals
This is a story about an overly protective and competative dude with some kind of big brother complex who keeps on protecting people who do not want to be protected leaving them with deep grounded inferiority complexes....In a display of choices... teaching us to avoid shortcuts as justice and the clear conscious will lead to glory not only for one self but for the motherland... Praise camaraderie. When one door closes another will open so there are plenty of ways to serve your country by being an antrepanewer... also power corrupts so stay away from power... At times making me fear that if I keep watching I may loose all affections towards Xiao Zhan.
It starts off kind of cute, a bit to many fights and oops I stabbed a guy scenes here and there... but by the middle I honestly started to get annoyed by every single character in the drama. Then the drama took a turn and got slighlty more interesting yet still kept me wondering why they keep trusting people as well as seem to ignore the wife beater in front of them...
But I made it till the end and got to see 3 seconds of a sweet moment between the leads.... Some more protect our country and mistakes made, forgivenes given... mistakes made again.
That said there are some moments that are enjoyable and the idea of found family and surviving hardships is kind of sweet so I settled for a kind 6,5.

Choices
This is essentially a story about choices and consciousness.A slightly different less dramatic more realistic portrayal of the path towards fatherhood, where does the sea begin, when does fatherhood begin and what is the right thing to do?
A display of choices, some tougher than others, as life is indeed complicated. Self sacrifice vs. compromise and at the end of the day what is truly best for the child?
While the drama does have some moments that have me questioning the agenda of the drama, some moments pf cringe,, as well as some small issues here and there, the over all feel to this drama is that it is a good story and pretty much as far from mainstream storytelling as it gets. A story that considers several voices, angels and truly digs deep in to the concept of parenthood and the right to choose. Well portrayed, well casted the type of story that will have you feel stuff, click on that next episode button and wish them all the best.
Making me accept the parts that had me wondering as a portrayal of life..
There are few drmas with as many self aware, lovely characters in this are lovely, especially the fathers (even the so called bad fathers) and the kid.
A drama that is defiantly worth more attention, and worthy of any slice of life drama lovers time.

This was fine
This is one of those stories that I feel like I have seen before but done better. Bubbly crowd pleaser meets mr ambitious... while I really did enjoy both bubbly and ambishus as well as some of the side characters I could ot really connect with this making me feel ok this was fine.Fine is good enough, fine is not bad, fine is still highly bingable but it is also something that just did not captivate me enough to keep my attention, making me check stuff on my phone followed by rewinding a bit just to think oh, I didn't miss anything spectacular, actually I did see this just thought it mite have been more... oh well back to watching. I am sure i am still missing something that would make this stand out, but I just didn't find it.
That said I am old, I have a cold so I am probably not the target audience anyway...

Sweet n slightly emotional
This drama has a bunch of things I have seen before, maybe not this exact combination, and maybe not the usual clicehs of rich spoiled brat meets poor hotel receptionist in a foreign country. However I would be lying if I said I was surprised by any of the twist the lied a head.That said the chemistry was good, the acting fine the side character few but lovely and the scenery was pretty all in all giving me give or take 110 minutes of entertainment and emotions.
Defiantly time well spent, in my case int the passenger seat of a car, but I am sure it would be just as well spent time on the couch or in bed.

Sloppy
This is a pretty mediocre drama, despite having a decent plot, a good mix of drama, depth and fluff it still falls flat due to annoying elements, sloppy badly handled predictable twists, a whole lot of boring scenes. Taking away focus important scenes in favour of cheap twists.A bit like being served fast food in a 5 star hotel, or gourmet dishes served on paper plates in a crowded stadium it just feels wrong and sloppy. The flavours are there, the ingredients are top but while some parts are overcooked or even burnt it is still frozen in the middle....
As I love the leads, I love one of the second couples, I even loved the second female lead in the beginning.
There are a few scenes that are pure gold where they talk about family, divorce, and obsession. Where they actually show a slightly different angle of the broken family then I am used to seeing on screen, with scenes that reminded me of the less happy moments of my childhood, and while I almost started ot get my hopes up by the end of the twist/plotline all had been ruined... Or at leas I found it hard to relate.
The intimate scenes between the leads are top, top, tastefully made and delt with really well, however the introverted couple definitely stole the show, and honestly the third couple came in with a bang and while I love the bickering trope this was done so badly and annoyingly that I had to skip their scenes just to be able to finish this.

Very memorable
I first watched this drama when I was still new to dramas a few years ago and decided to rewatch it with my husbad because he showed a little interest to the historical aspect of a different drama. And this one has a lot of History in it.This is one of those dramas that is builds up a story almost painfully slowly with lots of details. The pace varies a lot sometimes it feels like everything happens at once, other times may feel like filler episodes that packed with seemingly unnecessary details. However as the story progresses even the smallest detail is put in to place, and everything is tied together. Emotional, beautiful and worth every single moment of build up, and yes the build up is long.
It is a drama that will leave a lastning impression, with some scenes that are so powerful that no matter how many dramas you watch, afterwords they will still stay vivd in your mind .
Rewatching this drama, I noticed a lot of details that I had missed the first time, so not only do I recommend a first watch but also a rewatch.
P.S. Some of those vivd scenes came a lot earlier and others a lot later then I remembered, yet each little detain of those very memorable scenes where indeed just as I remembered them.

Hard to write about
This is a movie that is hard to rate and hard to review, leaving me without words for the first time since I started writing reviews.One could think that that should stop me from writing a review, and it almost did but that alone makes it worthy of a review.
So what can I say, the movie has a pretty decent approach to puppy love at the twilight moments of teens lives. Combining art, youth, and lots and lots of Garberas colorful moments in the hospital gray... Showing people with terminal illnesses with drams, wishes and I guess more than just people waiting for a cure... With lots of moments of color and fun.
As well as shows the value of normalsy... So I guess I did manage to find some words in the end.

Cute
This is one of those dramas that you start watching and before you know it you are smiling from ear to ear.... Something happens and boom you have binged it and it is already over.The main couple is awkwerdly cute, the supporting characters are so adorable you may find yourself wanting to open a home for abandoned kids or i case you had horrible parants wish you would have gotten to grow up there...
There is some drama and moments of come on, but over all this is an easy watch that will make you feel all warm inside.

BStay by the kids side... as he is not really capable of taking care of himself.
This is the story of the little boy that was timid, scared, childish and all things annoying who got entangled with mr ice face, smart, fun, caring, hard working and interesting and somehow got the dude to fall in live...Is the damzal in distrss syndrom, was the cold guy just looking for any kind of affection or was it it really true love=
I honestly do not know, but there is not one single scenen in this that explains whay mr cold male lead melts...
That said the peole around them are fun, the kisses are more the type I will devouer you than dead fish and there is both lack of chapstick and scenes where it looks like the leads visited a lip gloss factory...
An okay watch for the other characters just mind the annoying main lead.
