"Do you believe in magic?"?

When we were little we all believed in magic. The world looked so beautiful because it was filled with magic. But over time, as we grow older, we forget about it.

All in all, I thought this was a beautifully captivating drama, weaving in threads of hope into an otherwise bleak tale. it was really beautiful with a unique storyline, a musical genre fantasy with a plot twist you won't expect. Throughout the drama, this line stuck into my head and it really touched my heart that '“flowers don't bloom on asphalt paved roads but on bumpy sand roads”.

The whole cast did a really great job portraying these characters. The life story of Ah Yi is heartbreaking and the actress is pretty convincing with her sweet demeanour. Choi Sung Eun’s acting is what stole the show for me. I'm happy that Ji Chang Wook (ML) finally got a role where he shined again after long time. JCW is as usual: handsome and charming. Hwang In Yeop character is the opposite of his True Beauty character and he plays the awkward yet cute nerd so well.

This one may not be as entertaining for some but it is definitely unforgettable. I appreciate the message the story was trying to tell, but I felt there were some holes in the plot at times. the creators end up not bothering to explain how he’s able to do impossible magic tricks while acknowledging at the same time that he likely has mental health issues. I appreciate that the story has an ending, and I've heard that it ends just like the Webtoon but I still would’ve prefer that the story was a bit more conclusive.

A masterpiece that’s extraordinarily ordinary.

With so many drama’s airing right now, this gem of a drama really stood out. This is simply a masterpiece , where the plot is extraordinarily ordinary yet so relatable, to what anyone could feel daily or at any point in life, the characters portrayed their roles immaculately that it feels like they are just being themselves. MLN is about an ordinary family, everyday problems, work life, ordinary love, friendships and the bond of siblings.

The writing has been superb and despite a rather slow start, has settled into a really good rhythm and managed to touch on a lot of important topics. It’s slow pace but a healing drama. if there’s one thing this show has done fantastically well, it’s the symbolism and themes. The drama has done so well to keep this going throughout the episodes and it seems fitting to end on one here too, given the coin and the drain. I’ll miss this drama in terms of how unique and special it was, how memorable the dialogue was and the emotions and comfort that we felt watching this drama.

This drama was never about a happy ending, It's an open-ending but them being able to smile and start anew, having liberated from some of the things they wanted to escape and go on in their lives in pursuit of further liberation. Nothing is guaranteed, all we have is hope and that was potrayed beautifully by the ending.

A beautiful story, superb acting, the OST and BGM were really soothing, and the cinematography was simply marvelous. From the write of one of my favorite drama’s “My mister”, this drama too has definitely been added to my favorite list of dramas.

A romcom that guarantees a smile:)

This was a light hearted drama that didn't take itself to seriously. Solid rom-com that was neither too complicated or dramatic, just an overall enjoyable watch.

I appreciated every storyline that has been added into this wonderful piece of work. It shows good insight into the hectic life of the people in an Entertainment Agency managing a variety of stars. In the show, everyone at Star Force agency does their best for the actors and actresses, and the plenty of issues that they need to resolve on a daily basis. It gives insight to the life of a celebrity. The good, bad, uncertainty, hatred, loss of a friend or colleague etc. It also shows that they are human beings, who has feelings and can be hurt and loved. That many forget that "Celebrities are real people, with lives and feelings of their own too”

Loved that everyone was competent at their job and they didn't make anyone make stupid mistakes/decisions for the sake of the plot and especially loved the good banter and actual communication between everyone. I liked the chemistry between the entire cast, especially the three main couples and of course the agency staff.

Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Dae came through with their perfomances. Taebyul couple has been my happy pill for the past weekends with their sweet relationship. And although I loved the main couple, I have to say the lawyer/journalist couple was by far my favorite. Their relationship felt the most natural to me along with their chemistry.

I’m very happy and satisfied with our couple’s endings! I’ll definitely miss the sweet couples TAEBYUL, Jaehyun/Yuna and also Yoo Sung and Ho Yeong, Soo Hyuk and Jo Kipeum and Dahye/Shi Deok along with the great PR team and amazing Manager Byun Jung Yeol
and amazing Starforce director Jihoon! Happy endings full of happy vibes!

A romcom that guarantees a smile in every episode, including the epilogue:)

Underrated Gem

I was sad to say goodbye to this drama…

The gem of an underrated drama! From the stories, to characters, to the cast members and to the directing team.. the deserve an applaud.

Although romance is not the main focus of this story, Nana and Park Sung-hoon! The couple's chemistry is off the charts. We have this quirky, lovable and adorable couple who are true to themselves and each other. It was refreshing to see a couple loving each other like this. There was no typical drama plot of separation. Definitely one of my favorite OTP ever!

It's a political drama, but it's fun, whimsical, and interesting from the start!!!!!! This drama balanced the humor, the politics and the love story very well. A FL that left her mark on all of the characters throughout the episodes. She'll be the type to fight and fail again and again until she succeeds. she responded to her failures with much more grace and maturity and focused on finding another solution. Her growth was subtle and gratifying for me. What I liked about this show is how it showed characters evolving in less obvious ways. It was hilarious from the start and had so much heart!

I wanted to keep inhabiting their world for a little bit longer. I haven't felt this attached to a show and its characters in ages. Definitely a drama to watch!!

Great drama with an awesome trio of ghosts

This drama had everything, from fantasy to romance, to friendships and the best part: a magician with an awesome trio of ghosts.

The show started out with such incredible potential, sadly the evil ghost storyline had already worn out it’s welcome and the show really was at it’s best when it was going for fun or solving a case of the week.

Started because PHJ was the ML and JKJ was the FL but fell for the rest of the amazing cast especially our three ghost characters. Honestly, the saddest part of the drama was to see the ghost employees leaving them because they were the ones that made magic factory possible. Still, our leads were great, the side characters were fun and even with a slightly disappointing final episode, I really enjoyed the show as a whole. Although this series was flawed in someways, it definitely deserved more attention and love.

A great drama with comedy and ghosts beats everything. You’ll be entertained from start to finish!

Heart-warming and heart-wrenching

Tomorrow maybe not be a perfect drama but every story told an important theme and is relevant today. It really demonstrates the reality of life. It shows the importance of life and that each person carries a story.

The cast also including our cameo’s every week did a phenomenal job, however I do wish LSH had more screen time. This drama was an emotional rollercoaster that had a solid premise with the OST and cinematography to match. The let down for me was the balance between the ‘case of the week’ plot and the overarching reaper/Jumadeung plot line. This drama would’ve been a hundred times better if it were mostly about Jumadeung politics/world-building and Ryeon and Joong-gil’s past.

Specifically, the way that RY and JG’s story was wrapped up - whilst I can appreciate the decision to not have them get together again in line with the severed threads theme, I just wish we’d been given more time to see JG regain his memories of the past and see the two of them properly get closure from one another. Ryeon and Joon-gil's story was the best part of the drama. It feels like the writers failed to make use of the amazing chemistry between KSH and LSH and its a shame that we only had two episodes devoted to them. Their story was beautiful and very tragic but meaningful with them using it to help people.

Everyone was connected to suicide and its consequences in their life. With the message of the drama, we see Ryeon had to come to peace with her own past, pains, and choices, like all of the survivors we have learned about thus far. Words can't describe the emotions we all felt while watching this series. The pain, the fear, the anger, the happiness, and the sadness when this drama ended. This drama gives more reasons to be aware of other people's feelings, but also our own. I'm glad I watched this drama

Short friends to lovers story

The story wasn’t anything revolutionary but this was such a comforting show to watch, I would actually recommend it to anyone looking for something soft and pretty with some cute, a dash of angst, and a bit of romance. Basically, the plot between friends to lovers, unrequited love, emotions, and those moments... all done right.

It probably would have been better off condensed into movie form, or binge the series in a mini-marathon.

Every scene was beautiful to watch and some moments were truly breathtaking. And there's a kind of comfort in predictability that makes it so much easier to settle in and take a break in that cozy atmosphere.

Park Hyung-sik steals hearts in every role! And in this drama too! He can emote a thousand words with just his face and eyes alone. Han So-hee has improved from her previous role.

The songs might not be memorable on their own, but they complemented the scenes and narrative with lyrics quite well. Short and sweet - safe, cozy, comforting, warm and no drama!

A MUST WATCH DRAMA

I could rave on and on about this drama but I’ll keep it short!

Such an underrated drama!! This drama is by far the greatest and best action comedy in KDrama history. It has a fantastic storyline, an engaging and intense plot, nerve-wracking twists and turns, superb acting skills, and valuable life lessons. A thrilling ride full of excitement and laughter!

Powerhouse Ensemble Cast! Each of them provided unforgettable fun, and they took on roles that were perfect for the actors. No matter how big or small the role was, each of them did a phenomenal job. Best squad ever!!! No romance but I didn't care. The main aces of this drama are the excellent storyline and character development. Along with an addictive OST that you’ll remember till the end.

The Fiery Priest made me laugh hysterically and I kept on cheering for our priest and his friends. One of my favorite dramas! I’ll be rewatching this drama again. Hoping season 2 happens.
