The plot was predictable and there were a few entertaining scenes or plotlines, mainly due to the new characters that created a few intrigues, however, even those were toned down and in the end, they were a bit idiotic. The main couple's romance could have been better, but they didn't really have much time together in this series and the drama in their relationship was too forced and out of the blue really. The second couple was boring and only had some moments in the beginning and in the end of the drama. At least the new characters were interesting and added a breath of fresh air to the story.
So, overall, five out of ten.

The web drama didn't focus on how hard it is to date a co-worker, like the first season. On the contrary, the drama focused on the romantic story and the way the leading lady was afraid to let the guy into her life, because of an ex co-worker's warning not to date anyone who works with her. The love triangle was messy and not well developed too. The secondary couple was rushed as well and underdeveloped.
For the plus parts, now, the couple had chemistry and they were cute overall. The performances were nice as well from everyone in the cast. The cameo of the first couple was a nice touch, finally.
So, overall, six out of ten.

One thing that actually was amazing was the cinematography. The lenses and the filter they used were just on point with the atmosphere of the story and the shots and scenery were beautiful. The leading lady was extraordinary too, with a great performance without overdoing it with her dramatic scenes. The time travel theme was also well presented and it didn't get confusing, while they kept the final twist well managed. However, it felt like the story was lacking something. The love triangle was nice, but it didn't have much intensity, though the characters were interesting. Perhaps the drama needed a few more episodes to wrap things up better.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The story didn't focus only on the main character and her efforts to leave the farming academy and become and actress. Actually, it seemed like they have forgotten those dreams and they altered our attention towards the relationship and their future plans. The addition of the second couple was a good idea, as it added some freshness to the story and it was fun to watch, especially as the main couple got a bit boring eventually. The big twist towards the end was predictable. But the story about them creating a beer was entertaining as well. Finally, the performances were good from everyone in the cast, though most of the side characters were overlooked.
So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

The drama is a slice of life, with not much going on for it. That is because the drama's story had a basic idea, the guy who set at home all day doing nothing and his family trying to get along with that, but, other than that, a few story lines were happening, and there were few surprises or something to look forward to, like the niece's story of first love and growing up. That is not to say that the drama was not entertaining. The main character was a delight, always talking in fast pace, and making crazy reasoning about everything. The drama had a nice, easy going mood to it actually. It was sweet, cozy and the family dynamics were great.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

What is likeable about this drama was the simplicity of it. The comedy part was pretty good too, as the leading lady did a great job with her performance and it wasn't over the top, fortunately. The sad twist in the end made it more humane, even though the drama didn't build up to it. The drama, even though it was about living with less things, actually gave the things some value and bonded them in a way with their owners and their lives. The cartoon part, though, was a bit silly.
So, overall, six out of ten.

What didn't work for me was that, towards the ending, it felt like the action was happening behind the scenes and you get to only watch the results of it. And the last episode was not as good as the rest of them.
But, other than that, the comedy part was very good. The drama was funny, fresh and adorable overall. The leading lady was a delight, as always, and she adaoted to her role beautifully. The side characters and their stories were really entertaining and made the drama even more enjoyable, as the main story was low paced.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

" What is love " or " Just only love " was okay, hence the five out of ten rating.My main problem was with the ending of the story. It was not satisfying enough, as the main character didn't really change, she just continued being who she was at the begining of the movie. That is not to say that I wanted them to end up together, as it was obvious that he wasn't good for her and she was better off without him. The presentation of how her life went to ruin as she focused all her energy on him, was not well either. There were some scenes that you can really get that she was too eager to follow him and take care of him, while he was just taking advantage of that. But, other than that, we didn't get to see how she lost her job or how she was enstranged from her friends, as there was only one arguement with her friend, and that was not even about her being cold towards her.
The performances were good though, especially from the leading lady. The camera work was nice too.
So, five out of ten.

As a special just before the second season's premiere managed to present an intriguing story in just about over an hour. The mystery was good and well built, and they focused more on the business world, with some addition of the main character's background story.
The chemistry of the two main leads was good too and helped with the mystery. Finally, the performances were excellent and the usage of the computer thriller atmosphere was nicely created.
So, overall, seven out of ten for the good case it presented.

The story had some funny moments. And it was overall cute and the girls were adorable and interesting as characters. The male lead was good too. However, in the end, the drama felt like it didn't get to be completed, like it was an open ending but not really, as the main story was never developed. But each episode was cute. Probably the addition of the romance was unnecessary.
So, overall, six and a half stars out of ten.

The story was nice, with the perfect passing for its length. The characters are, overall, likable and the performances from all actors and actresses of the cast pretty good. I also enjoyed the twist in the end because it was unpredictable and quite entertaining. In addition, the plot is sweet, cute and touching. However, the story would have been better presented if the movie was longer. The characters should have breating space to bond and creat a stronger relationship in order for the story to lead to the final twist.
But, overall, it was good, so eight out of ten.

The story was okay, and there were potentials but they just stuck in a loop, as did the characters. Plus, the leading lady's character was annoying and kind of selfish. However, her character kind of improved towards the end. Still, the drama didn't provide any good presentation of the characters and we never got to know them better than the basic description. The story got pretty boring too quickly.
So, overall, three and a half out of ten.

However, it was interesting to watch the character development of the main character. The mystery was quite good too, however, it was solved too easily and that is why the rest of the movie was about the relationship of the grandfather and his grandson. But, they really didn't have any chemistry between them and that is where the movie failed. Finally the ending was good and satisfying. The performances were good too.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Some of the stories were nice and mostly the whole movie had a sweet and warm feeling to it. The cats were cute and the acting was decent from all the actors and actresses in the movie. The theme was interesting as well.
However, the movie was a bit boring. It was just not that original and it felt a bit pointless. Plus, it focused more on the small cases than the main lead of the movie. Maybe if this was a drama the stories would have been better presented.
So, overall, three out of ten.

Having not watched the other version, I can't really compare them. But, judging from other viewers, it was pretty similar to the original. In any case, what I liked about the movie was the feel good vibes, the youthful story and the performances. The characters were interesting, unique and funny. I enjoyed especially the leading character. That said, everyone did a great job with the performances.
However, when it came to the love story, that's when things got out of track. The movie kept promising to give something, but never did. It was like watching those two going in circles and never meeting. So, that was disappointing.
So, overall, six out of ten.
