Overall excellent fantasy

SOOO many people are confused about the 'change' of actresses.
The first season had Naksu in someone else's body. So she looked like said person. As all the soulshifters do.
It was wonderful, & Jong So Min did a great job. But let's remember that Naksu in actuality looked like Go Yoon Jung, okay?
So, that ends with her petrifying like other soul shifters.
But Master Lee, plus the powers of the owner of the original body, makes it possible to bring back Naksu/Bu Yeon, albeit without any memory of the past or her identity. The soul that inhabits the body being Naksu, it shapes the body to look like Naksu (very necessary for the plot). THIS undoubtedly was planned from the beginning, because otherwise everybody would have immediately recognized her as Mu Deok! I did find this a bit inconsistent, as the Queen doesn't manage to get her original form back, but I suppose it could be explained by the body of Bu Yeon being turned to stone & having to reconstruct itself.
So all the nonsense about the actress 'changing' is just that - coming from people who do not understand the underlying plot development very well, & possibly failed to realize that the actress in Part 2 is the SAME one playing Naksu (as Naksu) in Part 1!
As for the way Naksu as Bu Yeon acted, good grief! She totally behaved as Mu Deoki had done (or as Naksu as Mu Deoki had done). She didn't have the anger and drive of Naksu because she lacked the MEMORIES of Naksu, but she didn't act like the real Bu Yeon either (as much as one can tell, seeing we only saw her (as Mu Deoki) briefly. I totally enjoyed those episodes so much, because she was reminding Jang Uk of what drew him to Mu Deoki without him realizing what was happening.
The final 2 episodes had some WTF moments, but they weren't overwhelming & mainly had to do with the somewhat illogical plot around the House of Jin & that Firebird/Dragon. It did seem that Jang Uk managed to destroy the mages much too easily, as well, which could have been improved with another episode - but since he'd been touted as all-powerful through-out Episode 2, that didn't bother me overmuch.
I loved the way all the secondary plots & characters had their own stories wrapped up. So many of these fantasies end sadly or ambiguously - or 'they were reincarnated together' ~sigh~ This one didn't do that, and I'm grateful.
So overall this is one of the best high fantasy dramas I've seen - including Game of Thrones, The Witcher, The Rings of Power, as well as several Chinese ones, let alone Korean. It wasn't dragged out too long (GOT, & every Chinese fantasy I've seen other than Ghost Bride), didn't destroy itself in the end (The Witcher), and didn't have a book that it mangled (The Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, Game of Thrones once Martin left). The Hong sisters know their craft very well indeed. Kudos to them!

Comedy & Crime

This drama is NOT to be taken seriously. SIG is his usually wonderful self, this time bouncing around as a shaman, who is secretly trying to avenge his friend's murder. He used to be a profiler & uses that in his fortune-telling. The team at Cafe Minamdong is just fun, although those who hate slapstick, exaggerated comedy will not like them.
The police team are also fun, although the two junior detectives were a bit over the top even for me. I liked the female lead (really, people! WTF is wrong with her? She's a cop, going after criminals!), and the older mentor just is one of those seasoned Korean actors that brings verisimilitude to every role he takes.
The mystery has an interesting twist - I wondered after about the 8th episode, but it didn't fully reveal itself until nearly the end, and did so in a very good way. I've watched a lot of dramas with this kind of thing before that have not done this as seamlessly or logically, frankly - playing with the audience or using shock value (or both, like Mouse ). This one did it well.
All in all this was just a fun, refreshing drama for me to watch - nothing heavy, satisfying action, very few true plot holes or logic fails (other than some over the top kinds of comedic situations), and just, SIG being very funny & appealing throughout.
I find all the negative reviews ridiculous, frankly.

Magic in the air

This little romcom just oozes cuteness, for most of the episodes. Fun, sweet, with some dreamy looking guys as well LOL The premise interested me, and for the most part played out well, although towards the end some logic holes appeared (one big one - she & her mother tell possible futures in order to let people CHANGE them & profit by it - so WHY all of a sudden does she seem to think her boy's future is set in stone??????). Also, while not a plot hole, it annoys me when writers throw in the 'using magic brings curses on you' trope - I'm a witch myself so yeah that ticks me off (as well as this idea that a witch is somehow different than a shaman :D Nope, not really).
But those minor things aside (they get dealt with well by the end of the show), I totally enjoyed this drama. I love Seohyun, & thought her perfect for this character. Na In Woo has been impressing me more with each role he's taken. The supporting actors, at least away from the marketplace, did an outstanding job.
I will say that a lot of people will not appreciate the very slapstick kind of schtick used by that marketplace group of characters. I did think it got a bit cringy at times although I liked those characters for the most part. It's an acquired taste & may account for the lackluster reviews I've seen on here.
But overall, just a pleasant, sweet, rather relaxing watch :D

Absolutely non-stop over the top action.

This film has absolutely no claim to veracity whatsoever. We aren't sure who the enemies are (well, seem to be everybody), nor who the hero is - okay, it's obviously Joo Won ie Carter, but who is HE? Even he doesn't know cause he's lost his memory. There's a bit of play with that - he could be two different guys apparently, & this is never resolved as the film sets up the sequel at the end (where China, not visible in this film, obviously will play a role in the next).
The setting is in the near future, where somehow North Korea seems to have opened it's borders. A deadly zombie-like virus is the main threat, but most of the action is NOT zombie fighting, so you really can't call this a zombie film. Instead, our hero, Joo Won, looking mighty fine through out, is tasked with rescuing a little girl who's got the antidote in her blood - and everybody wants her LOL
The action just got me laughing - so over the top ridiculous! The opening scene in the thug bathhouse LOL - not quite as good as The K2 but damned close! The fight while skydiving - better than that Bond scene with Jaws!!!! The way that poor kid is tossed around through out the film just kept my attention, & then another kid gets added to the mix - so crazy :D
This film reminded me forcibly of the 2007 film Shoot Em Up - same ridiculously violent scenes, gorgeous lead (Clive Owen), baby getting manhandled during a rescue, etc LOL Loved that film too!
People who get squeamish, who want character development, or who like logical storylines or reasonable action sequences, this film is NOT for you. Just saying!

Hard topic done well

I found this drama highly realistic and truly informative about a problem most first world countries have - juvenile delinquency, and the inadequacies of the legal system to combat it. I myself retired from DSS which is social services in the US - and I had teens coming in for help with medical (pregnancy too often!) & living help. Kids who came thru the foster system & were flung out on their own at 18. Kids from bad or indifferent parents. Kids who were thrown out of their homes for not conforming to the morals or religions of their parents. Just heartbreaking.
This drama had as the central character a woman that I did not like at all. She had no business being a juvenile judge in the SK system as portrayed, because of her constant 'I hate juvenile offenders' spiel. Nope, nada, not acceptable. However, her journey was imminently worth watching. She overcame her prejudices and gave fair & impartial judgements, trying her best to help these kids on a path away from crime towards being productive citizens, despite their parents and their home situations. I very much enjoyed the way she went after the truth, like a terrier, thru-out.
Now, I do have a huge problem with that first case. A young teen (13???) who is schizophrenic???? WTF???? That psychopathic older teen used and manipulated this vulnerable, MENTALLY ILL child, and he had no business being put in the penal system at all. He needed psychiatric care, pure and simple. However, this really highlights for me the big problem SK seems to have in regards to mental illness - somewhere reform is needed. Lord knows, the US has areas (huge ones) where a ton of reforms are needed, BTW. In fact I'd say it's possible that the SK legal system overall is more efficient than the one here in the US (not a huge achievement). But the way mental illnesses are ignored is just insane.
I did not like the way the chief judge was treated by the main character, BTW. At no point did she ask him when he found out about his son - which makes a big difference. She exhibited a very holier-than-thou attitude thru the entire drama in fact, which made me long for someone to slap her down. Her boss was going to have his career ruined, as he knew when he found out about his son - despite the fact he hadn't a clue the kid & his wife had disobeyed him. That's another problem with SK - the way mere proximity (as in a family member, or someone you know/work with) to a criminal, or to scandal, can wash over one and destroy YOUR career etc! The way the families of criminals, who often have been victims of said criminals themselves, are demonized! This is something shown really well in the drama Come Hug Me.
I really loved the ending case - it showed what her problems were, and wrapped them up well. I could have done without her ridiculous lecture to her superior, which really had no truth in it whatsoever (throwing 11 year olds in the penal system does not 'teach them' anything except how to be better criminals next time). Those kids needed actual counseling and the kinds of consequences that children need - ie education and a sense of responsibility. Their parents failed them woefully, and it's not the job of the justice department, nor the schools, to give kids this. Both those boys looked to be sociopathic from the start, which is not going to somehow 'go away' by throwing them in jail or juvenile detention. Anymore than schizophrenia will somehow disappear using the same method. However, the older judge did slap her down a peg at least, and both seemed to learn something from this experience.

All in all this was a very worthwhile watch. Acting, of course, was top-notch.

Just, read the history, people

This was an adorable gender bender drama within an ACTUAL historical setting. As in, I knew from the 2nd episode (when I looked up the king, and discovered who was who), that our dimpled 2nd prince would end up on the throne.
The WRITERS didn't kill off anyone, HISTORY did. That poor brother of our lead girl, for instance. Sad but true.
It's like The Prince & the Pauper. Since we've been hit over the head with a gazillion retellings of said Prince's DADDY (that would be King Henry VIIII), we know what happens to our cute prince (just, go read it - Twain's awesome).
Anyway, I just loved this drama for the most part. It had it's angsty moments, it's WTF stuff, it's political intrigue (I mean, yeah, necessary, but not my fav stuff), but overall I enjoyed watching this - I mean, SF9's Rowoon & Victon's Byung Chan were VERY easy on the eyes plus gave good performances, and Nam Yoon Soo, oh my my my!!
I thought our leading lady did a credible job of acting like a boy - the real prince was 18 when he ascended the throne.
The supporting cast did their usual phenomenal task as well.
My biggest beef is that the writers didn't let the Queen Mother just hush it all up. I mean, NO, that girl would not have survived revealing that she became king! Under any circumstances!

A bit Different than the KDrama

Hello Monster: Remember You is one of my favorite KDramas, where I loved the entire cast, as well as the chemistry between them. So I started this with some reservations, despite my overall love of lacorns.
In the Korean drama, while I love Jang Na Ra, her character was pretty inconsistent. At least she looked and acted like a confident knowledgeable detective, tho. In this one, the actress is simply too young. She doesn't have the gravitas for the part. The character remains the problematic mess it was in the KDrama, as well.
Our profiler here is not Seo In Guk. But he's otherwise excellent - fits the part, does the job, and I very much approved of him. Same for his brother - not Park Bo Gum but still you're rooting for him LOL
The police team are fine, and I actually prefer the head detective here (boss' son). Of course the KDrama DID have Kim Jae Young, but I thought Best Vichayut Limratanamongkol was just as gorgeous in fact :D
Where this REALLY shines is the casting of our main bad guy! Now, I thought D.O. just nailed his part as the younger one - chilling! Choi Won Young as his older self is excellent, of course, because CWY is one of THE best Korean actors out there. However, in the lakorn, OMG the younger & older actors LOOKED so much ALIKE! Same facial expressions, mannerisms! Totally chilling, both of them! Because of this, it really felt like you were looking at the actual younger/older versions of the same person! This was just amazing to me and really made this version totally worth watching :D
The story line is a bit more difficult to follow here than it was in the KDrama, I feel, but since I already knew the story I can't tell how problematic that would be for someone unfamiliar with it.
Overall, this remake is totally worth watching, just as every other lakorn remake of a KDrama that I've seen!

Actual Strong Women Here - Be Warned

This drama deserves the highest praise. Incredible acting, gorgeous themes & wardrobe, interesting and well-formatted storyline, great examination of the web of family relationships and how bad choices can echo down thru generations, as well as a very thought-provoking theme of what truly makes a family, or more specifically, a mother?
I highly recommend this drama, and I also recommend that anyone wondering if they should watch it just IGNORE most of the commentary. There are many immature, undereducated and basically shallow persons on this site who haven't a clue how to interpret a complicated, thoughtful drama like this. The number of different themes presented, the indirect way the writers show the main traumatic event, the complicated interwoven motivations of all the characters, takes a willingness to watch the entire drama and to do some thinking about it as well.
So if you don't want to do that, this is not the drama for you, just saying. Not fluff, even tho L and his love interest do provide a lovely, sweet little note threading through-out the drama.

How to act stupid

Okay. First off, yes I did watch this because of Minhyuk.
But.
I've had this happen to me - in my 20s. I was dating a guy & another girl showed up to yell at me for dating him.
Well, you know what happens in REAL LIFE when that happens? You tell the other girl that it's up to said GUY which of us he wants! Then you confront the GUY you are dating., ask him WTF, and tell him to end things with either her or you. Some of my friends would end it with the guy simply for not admitting up front there was another girl in the picture, as well.
So, the lead girl is my problem. WHINY little SPINELESS creature. I'm sorry. She didn't do anything wrong. She should have told the other girl off immediately, confronted her beau, and then decided what to do.
Later on, after she'd finally made a mature decision, same girl who'd confronted her earlier decides to spread lies online, and our FL says she DESERVES IT!!!! OMG!!!! She didn't know the guy had a girl! WFT is THAT all about???? HE was the cheater, if anyone was!
So basically, I spent the last 3-4 episodes screaming at the TV about how idiotic this girl really was. I swear. I'm so over this kind of thing. No you don't have to apologize because somebody lies to you and you believe it! No you don't deserve to nearly have your career thrown in the toilet by some immature little liar who claims that YOU took her BF away, when it was said BF who cheated! AND lied about it! OMG
That little girl BTW was uber annoying. She basically conned the ML into having a sort of romance, when he really wasn't all that interested, and certainly not serious - she admitted it to our FL in fact. Then AFTER the FL & ML break up, she goes after the FEMALE for revenge just because the ML breaks up with her as well! That's mature and sensible of her, NOT!
So yeah, I had some big problems with how all that played out.
Notice I'm not upset by who the FL ended up with in the end. Not at all. That was not the problem here....

Just splendid :D

This drama hits all the right notes. It's not meant to be taken all that seriously and has a lot of comedic elements, but it also touches a nerve about corruption and how underdogs need champions who can fight on the level of the consciousless nasties & their minions. Suspense, a low-key love story, and OMG Taecyeon just CHEWING up the scenery!
I loved this start to finish
I was watching Mouse right along with this one, and Mouse - well, I had to stop watching 10 minutes before the end of the 14th episode because it looked like they just turned to the sour side, sadly. Vincenzo could have gone that route too - I worried. But it never did - not once. Thank goodness!
For those whining about realism - OMG. REALLY???? This is not meant to be a very realistic drama LOL It's meant to be a feel-good drama, where the bad guys get stopped and the good guys win. It's a kind of dark superhero film, with less fantasy. Where the characters are larger than life but where the premise makes you think about how most effectively to fight evil.
Such a breath of fresh air! And it ended so very well :D
Total thumbs up on Vincenzo!

Delightful, funny spy spoof

I must admit, I'm a total Eric Mun fan, and love just about everything he's done. So I may be biased. Also I do love spy stories, especially the spoofs. So this drama had two things going for it from the start.
I found it very funny from the first episode. Granted there was suspense, and not everything was light-hearted. The villains did kill some people after all. But that really didn't affect the very deft, light touch the writers brought to the story. I especially liked all the Bond references, since I'm an avid fan of those books & most of the films.
This kept the momentum going, brought in a few more thoughtful themes (particularly the examination of love and marriage, and the nature of trust), and showcased once again Lim Ju Hwan's amazing acting talents. I never found it boring, and it managed to end well, which I had really wondered about as the plot progressed.
All in all, a fun watch. I enjoy shows that don't make me think too much, and do not annoy me with hand-wringing, angst, noble idiocy, and other such annoying plot devices. I'd definitely sit through this again!

Everything a Rom Com should be

This drama exemplifies why I watch KDramas more than any other TV shows, and why I say that South Korea does RomCom better than anyone else.
The story takes us into a field (startups, tech companies, etc) and gives us a glimpse of what that's like. But make no mistake, this story is a ROMANCE. and the two leads (plus our second lead) live up to that wonderfully.
The premise is interesting (the letters - it's very much lifted from Cyrano de Bergerac) and highlights a major weakness in the second lead - it was the girl's GRANDMOTHER who asked 'Good Boy' to write them - in order to cheer up her granddaughter. Good Boy there had no real interest in the girl other than to please the grandmother.
This is apparent when later on, when he COULD have just admitted he was the one who wrote the things, he instead hires the guy whose name he stole to represent him. So he complicated his own life, which bites him in the derriere later as he comes to care for the girl.
I loved the romance, the actors, the secondary characters, the ending. Fun, logical, no major angst, decent ending that made me smile, a WEDDING photo!!!!
I'm sure there were inaccuracies about the computer industry, and that these kids had a much easier, more polished path than your average person in the industry. But it's expected from a romcom - this wasn't a show where you wanted gritty reality at all. Most of us watching these shows want enough reality to actually believe this kind of thing might happen, and then we just want to enjoy the romance. For those of you wanting grit etc, don't look to romcoms LOL

WHY ?????

Oh, my flaming !#$%!
This was basically a well-thought out thriller with overall consistency (minor glitches but nothing terribly horrible) right until the last 15 minutes or so (you know, after the time reset).
WTF?
WHY does that version of his MOM still remember anything? That's silly right there. WHY doesn't he see her resemblance to his MOTHER??? WHY does the ajusshi police chief not remember him? We saw the 2020 version of our detective disappear, but his teenage self went walking off with mama - so WHY IS THE HOUSE not theirs??? WHY doesn't the girl who loved him AT THAT TIME not remember who he is?????
AND for the love of all that's holy, were they REALLY trying to set him up with his MOTHER???? How sick!!! She's a genetic match for his mom! She IS his mom in fact! OMG!!!
This should have ended showing him with his mum AND dad, plus married to our newsreporter. With the Professor NOT remembering a damned thing!
Of course to be completely accurate, he should have totally disappeared as a HIGH SCHOOL kid, along with his mother, as they were walking to the convenience store. Plus the POLICE chief should have disappeared as well. But of course that would be sad, and I'm glad they didn't do it. However, I'm sorry. She's his MOTHER, and she KNOWS DAMNED WELL she is!!!!
Another KDrama ruined in the last 15 minutes, sadly. I'd tell EVERYBODY watching this to just stop watching as he disappears, with his younger self walking up the street with Mom. MUCH more satisfactory all the way around.

It is my sincere opinion that despite all the love/hate floating around about the drama, it really had only one true problem - this was a 20-24 episode drama shoved into a 16 episode one.
Think about it - the most consistent criticism? The logic leaps, lack of explanations and editing. Well, to me, that is not having enough time to explain what's going on adequately. We had to guess.
I think given this, the writers did leave enough clues TO figure it out, despite the rushed feeling.
I enjoyed this drama - the production values, cinematography, acting and OST were excellent, and the story very interesting. Again, biggest problem I had with it was that sense of being rushed, of things left out or not fully explained.
Still, the ending did indeed wrap up EVERYTHING I wanted it too - which thrilled me :D
BTW, I thought the two leads had excellent chemistry :D

I loved this drama. I find it so sad and telling that so many people didn't. I'm sorry that it's so hard to follow for some people. Perhaps it shows the dismal literary education given in public schools nowadays...
As another person said, this tale is reminiscent of the Bronte sisters - as of course the writers throw in viewers' faces through out LOL I wonder how many of those watching EVER read Wuthering Heights?
At any rate, those pretending our heroine didn't grow weren't paying attention. She was misled from the very beginning about the characters of both these men, which led to her making the original choices she did. Her original self never questioned her perception of reality, dying without truly understanding either man.
I have to interject here that I think the 1980s version of our detective, despite what we find out in the last episode, was basically a good, decent man who would have been horrified by his reincarnated self's actions. In fact, when that prosecutor decides to redeem himself, I think it's because he did get his memories of his previous incarnation back. I had been totally in sympathy with our 1980s detective, but when he reappeared as that self-righteous prosecutor, so willing to bend the rules and manufacture evidence just because HE had decided someone was guilty? Oh, no. Hated him and even wondered if HE was the reincarnation of the supposed serial killer.
Speaking of that tortured soul of a '2nd lead' ? Well, HE had been led around by the nose by that father of his! I'd been convinced that he'd hallucinated his father, at first - that he'd killed his abusive father & then developed 2 personalities. I kept that idea for at least a third of the drama because the writers did a very good job of leading us down that rabbit hole! Another red herring - at first it seemed as if our heroine had gotten the heart OF that 'murderer'.
Now, our leading lady is not as quick to judge as her previous self. She does think about things more thoroughly, without accepting everything at face value. She lets herself get drawn in by our prosecutor, but she hasn't a clue about his real character in the present. With our reincarnated 'murderer', however, she does gradually find out what he's like - she's drawn to him because she feels pain & pity every time she sees him.
Those people whining about 'stalker stalker' - BOTH these guys 'stalked' this woman, you know. Also, it was out of fear for her safety, not out of some 'stalker perversion'. But some people simply fail to see nuances at all.
Bottom line, the entire drama shows how the main female lead slowly figures out the TRUE characters of both these men, and also which one cares deepest for her, and also which one SHE truly cares most for! I found this journey to be somewhat hard to follow at times, and some questions remain unanswered (our detective from the 1980s didn't die from being knifed - those guys in black suits came & dragged him off somewhere, & bashed his head in with a rock - this NEVER gets addressed properly). Also the whole 'switching of the artificial insemination donor' is just brushed off a bit too easily.
However, I did indeed like the ending - found it satisfying. Our reincarnated heroine put her past behind her, knowing that she'd not been fully informed in that life, and faced the future with the man who truly loved her enough to die for her (while giving her to his rival). That's just soul-fulfilling.
