plot sucked

I'm pretty sure some people started this cause of Minho, some cause of soo bin, or some fell in love with the trailer and had a lot of expectation. I'm actually one of those who came here because of Minho and also because the trailer was good. I didn't have much expectations for this though so I'm not disappointed

plot: I don't even know what the plot is lmao. the plot sucked honestly, I didn't know what was happening other than just fashion and two dudes being the exes of the fl wanting to date her again. the plot was actually so boring, let me tell you. I stayed up till 2 am (my time) for this show to come and I started episode 1. didn't even realize when I fell asleep but thankfully I woke up in 30 mins to continue watching. I gave up at ep 3 and just told myself to watch it once I wake up. I couldn't even get through the 4th episode in 2 hours but I didn't want to drop it so I just skipped and skipped and skipped.

acting: I got nothing much to say for this as I didn't pay so much attention to the acting really. as for the casts tho, I came to watch Minho and ended up loving Kim Min Kyu's cute face lol

music: I don't remember hearing any music but I'll still give it a 7.5

rewatch value: I give rewatch value a 5.5 although I'll probably never come across this drama again. the reason is, if I am really really bored and just want to watch it for Minho or min kyu then I might. but honestly I don't find myself ever rewatching this show.

overall: like what I put here for the overall score, I do rate it a 7.5 but in my profile, I added +0.5 again for min kyu and min ho. also this was my first drama of chae soo bin's and I liked her character but it was kinda.. I don't know, I didn't feel much about her character. I liked some of the side casts and the fashion concept though. romance was bland, felt no chemistry between the leads.

it was watchable

at first i was excited for this because it's a vampire drama and I was reading a vampire romance webtoon. when I found out this was bl also, I really wanted to watch it. it was okay but I wish they did better. as a lot of people know, Korean bls aren't the best, they're average most of the time and they're also really short like 8 episodes and each are only 8-12 mins.

like i said, it was watchable but i skipped a lot of parts in the last 2 episodes. i wish they did better on the production. acting was not bad. after i started this drama, i watched a drama with ji woong as a main role and seobin as a support role. their acting was actually not that bad but it could've been really better. not sure about music, i didn't really care about it that much. i think if the episodes were longer, it could've been better.

something good was the ending. some people didn't like the sad ending but i liked it because it's something i did not expect but i also expected it. bls always have a happy ending, at least the ones I've watched so i liked that this drama was different.

overall i guess it's an okay drama to watch when you're really bored and desperately want to watch something.

is it really the best drama of 2021 tho?

I feel like something is wrong with me. I can barely find the people who feel like me because most of the reviews are just people liking the drama a lot. I don't know if I am just different or something.

I decided to keep this drama on hold at episode 11 since I found it boring. I was early when the first episode came out and I watched it. It was hard to finish it but then it got okay. Then it got boring again. At first, it was actually sweet and all but afterwards it got a bit dark. I don't understand the hype it's getting. I also thought it was the best drama of 2021 at first but not anymore. I wish the female lead was a bit more strong and I wished they focused on the side characters more.
The chemistry between the female lead and the male lead was eh... they did have chemistry I have to agree, just not the best chemistry.

It was hard for me to watch each episode, I skipped through a lot or I was just not paying attention to them because I had a hard time watching it all without getting bored. There are a few lessons you can learn from the drama which I liked to be honest. I honestly feel like dropping the drama because even when I go to Netflix and plan on watching it, I just get out of Netflix after 2 minutes because it just has a slow plot.

I would not rewatch this drama again, I'm sorry. My favorite character was Yeo Hwa Jung and Yu Cho Hui and I loved the OST. a lot.

became my favorite drama so quick

*Tiny spoilers in the second paragraph so you can skip it if you want*

Actually I didn't wanna watch it while it was airing so I waited till the drama completely aired so that I could binge watch. I expected it to be good when I was going to start it but there were so many hate comments in the Viki timed comments so I was scared it wouldn't be as good as I thought it'd be but it was really good, passed my expectations.

Normally multiple couples is a meh for me but I really loved all the couples in this drama. The main couple's chemistry was great, it was really good. I thought the main casts (Kim Young Dae and Lee Sung Kyung) were interesting at first but I knew it'd be a good pairing. I wish the second couple (I really wanna say who it is but I won't so people who haven't watched yet can look at this) got more screen time. I loved all the couples like I mentioned earlier but this couple was really great and I was so happy to see them again after Be My Boyfriend (another drama where they two were the leads).

I don't have much to comment about the music but I quickly got addicted to the OSTs, and I plan on listening to all the OSTs after I finish typing this review. I rate it a 10/10.

The plot was okay, it's just a decent plot that I liked a lot. The drama did a great job making me feel attached to the casts and everyone else. Some people thought that the penthouse cameo was cringe but I actually loved it, and I liked that they brought those three back together in this drama even if it was only for few minutes. In my opinion, episode 13 and 14 were the best but I think everyone else also found those two episodes the best.

Oh yeah, these are some things I really loved. I loved the bromance between DSH (Do Soo Hyuk) and GTS (Gong Tae Sung). It was really cute and I was smiling a lot and also the Yunaaaa. Every time HDS (Han Dae Soo) called her that, I start laughing a lot LOL.

If you have not watched the drama yet and you're considering to, I'd definitely recommend you to watch it. The drama does have some cons but there's a lot of pros. Oh and, if you are gonna watch it on Viki, I would recommend you to turn off the timed comments just for the first 10 or 11 episodes. I thought I should say that lol.

i was hyped..

i was hyped because ahn hyo seop is acting in this and I loved him so much in abyss. but I forgot this drama is a historical drama. i don't know if I didn't like this drama because it's historical or if it's the story. as I read through the review, I see that it's not just me that didn't like it. i was hyped for this drama but in the first two episodes it got boring.

my rewatch value would be a 7. I don't want to watch this drama unless I have nothing to do and I am really bored. i didn't feel any chemistry in between main lead and the female lead but I really loved the trio, young wook, choi jung and chungi.

I thought I wouldn't like crime dramas so I was scared to try it out and someone said it was boring so I thought I would've wasted my time. To be honest, the first 1-2 episodes didn't get me but after that, it got really interesting and intense. I have watched Vincenzo and I didn't like it too much and I have watched penthouse and I liked it a lot so I trusted it. The reviews were really nice too! It's pretty rare for me to get tears when I watch k-dramas. My eyes would be watery but it's rare to see tears on my face when I watch k-dramas and this drama actually made me cry a lot. I tried not to cry but it was really hard. you should prepare yourself because you will cry during the drama and mostly on the last few episodes.

It started off a bit slow and at first, I was like, "okay, I will just watch the rest later". And when I kept watching it got so interesting that I ended up finishing almost 2 days. This show is a rollercoaster honestly. You get happy, then get mad, and then be sad and start crying. To be honest, this was one of the best crime dramas I have watched in a while after penthouse ended. I wasn't bored and it didn't feel like it was being dragged at all. I just wish I knew this drama sooner or could've been my first k-drama.

The acting was really good! I really loved everyone's acting. The chemistry between the two.. was just WOW! Everything was just so good. This is my first time watching a drama with lee joon-gi in it and I knew I would love his acting so much so I tried it out. Actually, I saw his cameo in hotel del luna and I wished he was in more episodes but unfortunately, he was only a cameo. I would definitely rewatch this drama. I don't regret spending my time watching this, it was really good! I think it would be really hard for me to move on from this drama.

IF YOU LOVE CRIME OR IF YOU WANT TO TRY A CRIME DRAMA THIS IS IT!

probably a good drama i've watched in a long time

I loved this drama so much, it was really interesting. What I hated so much was that we (the viewers) expected her to kill her dad's murderer more "better" like the ending was a bittersweet ending. I was pretty disappointed when I saw that she only just killed her dad's murderer like that not putting that much energy into it. also what I hated, even more, was that pildo died. a lot of people are saying it was unnecessary and I get how they think that but I think it was pretty needed for the story to end correctly. I'm not saying I liked that he died, I was also pretty disappointed because they were getting closer and their relationship was getting better. but they just killed him off like that.

LEE JUN HO AND HIS SMILE IS SO CUTE!!!

okay if I had to be honest, at first I was scared to start this but still had it on my watch list because it's 16 episodes and I thought it'd be dragging which it did sometimes but it ended well. I also never watched any Lee Jun Ho and Im Yoona dramas but I've heard of them so I didn't know what to expect. I dived in without thinking and I ABSOLUTELY enjoyed every single minute of the drama. I was attached to it from the beginning and I never felt bored. Their kisses felt so real and weren't just a peck, their moments were so cute and my favorite episodes were ep 8-11. it was so fun to see Sarang, Guwon, Seha, and the other 3 hanging out together, having lots of fun, and watching Sa Rang and Gu Won hiding their relationship from others. Another favorite scene of mine is when they all find out who Guwon really is and start respecting him LOL. I like all the supporting characters, especially Ahn Se Ha's character. His scenes with Jun Ho are the best HAHAHA

The story was really good, I was attached since ep 1 but what threw me off is the ending of ep 15. I was heartbroken because the drone heart was so cute but they both weren't able to look at that and I quickly assumed that they'll break up till I gave myself a few minutes to think and realize properly. Also, another thing that threw me off is Ro Woon's mom not being alive, which shocked me ? but other than that, I enjoyed it!

Gu Hwa Ran's actress did really well. I looked at her MDL profile and saw that KTL was her first drama and that she is a musical actress. At first, I couldn't process how old she looked compared to Jun Ho but I got used to it later

Music: I don't have much to say about the music but my favorite was Confess To You by Lim Kim

Rewatch value: I've been rewatching more dramas this year but rewatching isn't my thing sometimes as it ruins the score for me a little, which is why I gave it a 9 and not a 10 but if I ever need to laugh or want to see Jun Ho and Yoona together, or the supporting characters, I'll definitely rewatch it!

Overall: what am I supposed to do every Saturday and Sunday now???

Give it a try and see if you like it or not!

I was not expecting anything from this drama so I wasn't disappointed but if you are gonna watch this drama hoping the FL ends up with someone, this isn't the drama for you but if you like open endings, this drama is for you.

Story:
Story wasn't the best, I agree, and also there was nothing going on. If you are really bored and you don't mind about what you want to watch, if you wanna watch something calm with no stress, or if you just wanna complete a drama so bad, this is a good drama to watch. I was excited to watch it because I love Kang Min Ah and Chani and Kang Min Ah are acting together again (True Beauty) so I wanted to watch it. After watching couple of episodes, I realized that LSR wouldn't end up with anyone.
You really can't like any of the characters here, all of them were not really my favorite characters.

In my opinion, Chani doesn't really fit romance dramas. I loved him in TB though. I will continue to support his future dramas if I plan on liking him but I prefer him in other dramas and not romance.

Acting:
Acting was fine, I don't have much opinion about it. I didn't expect anything from anyone.

Music:
The music was good, I don't have much to say here but the OSTs were pretty good and chill to listen to.

Rewatch Value:
I would never rewatch it, not even if I am bored. Yes, I did say you can watch it if you were bored but I cannot rewatch this show because I watched it while the drama was ongoing so I didn't have the motivation to continue the drama so I probably would never rewatch it either.

Overall:
The only thing I liked (kind of) was the ending. The ending was an open ending so us viewers could create a story after that and make up an ending. Personally, I love open endings so I didn't have a problem but people who expected the FL to end up with one of the guys might have not liked this drama. Like I said, you really can't like any people here. Some people didn't have much to like about or dislike about and some did.
I would not recommend this drama but if you want to watch it because you just wanna complete some drama or you're bored, go ahead. You would probably find yourself skipping a lot of parts or you'd actually like the drama. Everyone is different and you don't have to follow what I said in this review. Just give it a try and see if you like it or not!

S1 & S2 > S3

After I finished the drama I was so mad.

Season 1 and season 2 were so realistic and Penthouse could've got its good ending but they wasted it. SBS thought giving us one episode every week only will make it suspenseful and mysterious. Which I agree, it did at the start. But when they literally killed off Oh Yoon hee IN EPISODE 5, that's when everything went downhill. I was ok with them killing off Oh Yoon hee but literally for no reason?? At the end of season 2, they killed off Logan lee. He got literally burned by the fire but he came back alive which was the dumbest reason ever. And Oh Yoon hee died from falling off a cliff, going into the water. I know she doesn't know how to swim but they still had the chance to get her back. And the fact that Cheon Seo Jin did that was even worse. Oh, and her dying from the chandelier and still coming back made a bit more sense because the end of the chandelier was a round shape so she couldn't have died that easily. Them killing off Ha Yoon Chul... WAS EVEN WORSE. I DON'T GET THE POINT IN KILLING OFF THE GOOD PEOPLE FOR NO REASON because, in the end, Cheon Seo Jin ended up dying. I felt bad but what was the point in killing these characters if she's just gonna end up dying?

I would definitely rewatch this drama because it was good. I just wished that they made it Friday and Saturday, 2 days every week so viewers wouldn't have got bored that quick. I actually don't know if other people got bored but I got bored pretty quick. I still watched it for the pasta date and it happened, in the last episode, which was another reason I was mad.

It was good but I was sad that that they made do hana & nam shi woo supporting

i have to agree it was def better than season 1 but I was kinda sad that do hana and nam shi woo became supporting leads. i wanted to see more of them together and I wanted to see more fun friendship do hana, kim hana and yeo boram had. their friendship was really cute but we only saw a bit of it but I liked it although I was sad that ha min didn't end up with anyone. anyways that's my short review, this is my first time reviewing a drama so I'm sorry if it's bad. overall i'd recommend you to watch it if you want to watch something that's not over 1 hour each episode

BEST SK BL!!!

LET ME TELL YOU. WHOEVER ASKS FOR BL RECOMMENDATIONS, THIS WILL BE THE FIRST ONE I'LL GIVE THEM.

NOTE TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO TRY THIS DRAMA BUT DOESN'T WANT TO READ ALL OF THIS:

This was the best Korean bl I've ever watched. They actually kissed in this drama and there were no dumb little small pecks or anything. The actors were not feeling awkward while in other dramas, you could see them being really awkward. ALSO I'M A FAN OF ENEMIES TO LOVERS TROPE!!! Honestly, I had no high expectations for this drama as some other people did. I thought it was just another average bl going on but SK really shocked me. I REALLY WISH THEY HAVE A SEASON 2 AND I CAN WAIT FOR IT!

PRODUCTION
The lighting was really good and OMG I LOVED THE BISEXUAL LIGHTING GOING ON EPISODE 7!

MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS
My favorite characters were ofc the main leads and Choi Yuna. I literally loved Choi Yuna so much. I wish she had more screen time. As for Ryu Ji Hye, I guess a lot of people hated her because she kept coming into their relationship but she was just clueless. Other than that, she was one of my favorites. I kind of understand why some people hated her though. I'm really glad Park Jae Chan chose to act in the drama and didn't ignore it because they had the best chemistry.

MUSIC
I have nothing much to say about the music but I loved the episode preview music and the intro music a lot. I liked all of them but again, I have nothing much about it so I'll rate it a 10.

REWATCH VALUE
I will be rewatching this drama again for my 2nd time but honestly, I hate rewatching dramas because I have a fear that I'll hate it then which is why I gave the rewatch value a 9.5.

THANK YOU FOR READING MY REVIEW!
I really tried my best to keep it spoiler-free so that other people who haven't tried it out can read my review and probably decide if it's really that good and if they should give it a try. I am not good at writing reviews but I hope this was an okay review.

am i the only one who liked suho and seojun?

ok so I liked both seojun and suho but I know some people hated the drama because of suho being kinda "overprotecting" I guess?

I did have the second lead syndrome and I still cry over jukyung not ending up with seojun but I liked both of them. honestly, I felt like I was the only one who liked both of them and not just seojun because some people were hating on suho. it was okay, not the best nor the worst. I loved everyone's acting, especially Im Semi's, Cha Eun Woo's, In yeop, and Yoo Na's. I am not saying the rest of the actor's performances were bad. It's just that I loved theirs more. This was my first k-drama and some people would be making fun of me for having this as my first k-drama but I don't really mind. It was one of the good school romance k-dramas I have watched.

Oh, and I loved the extraordinary you cameo scene. I actually rewatched that part because I totally had no idea that was a part of true beauty and it was hard to find which episode it was. I got bored in the middle but still, the ending was great.

I'd definitely recommend this drama to everyone but you might probably cry because of the second lead syndrome
