Could be better
Well for one, the plot overall intrigued me. It was a good plot but lot of the times i got bored watching it. It would build up tension and action and then all of it would flop down and then you're sat there watching corny romance between the characters thats not even that interesting. I think the actresses acting was a little bit annoying but everything overall was okay. Its not one of the best kdramas I watched but its watchable. Maybe if you're multitasking and you let this play in the background it would be good.Was this review helpful to you?
Basic k-drama love story for when you’re bored
The beginning of the show was really good and it captivated me from the get-go! This is my first time seeing Chae Wonbin in a main lead romance role, and she did really well. I enjoyed her acting and her visuals a lot. When it comes to Ahn Hyoseop, he sort of keeps getting type casted a lot. None of his roles seem to differentiate…what’s so funny about this show is that he basically played the business proposal’s characters twin almost. They were so extremely similar from being ceo to being ‘cold’, ‘nonchalant’ and uninterested in dating until he meets a silly goofy girl who makes him want to care and falls for her. You get the jist right? Its pretty basic lol.What I liked about this show is the relationships we see outside of the main couple, I really liked the side characters and they kept things entertaining. Somewhere in the middle of the show things got a bit boring and it felt like it was getting quite dragged out but it was never to a point where it was painful to watch (cough cough like dynamite kiss). It was pretty funny and it had its emotional moments that made me tear up.
But truly, the one thing I liked the most about this show was the last episode. They did the ending so well! I swear kdramas nowadays (when it comes to romcoms) always rush their endings and leave major plotholes lingering despite having so much screentime they could’ve used to fill those gaps in but instead focused on the most boring plots. I really really loved how every character took accountability for their actions and patched all of their relationships up. I love how Dam Yejin acknowledged how much she neglected her father and apologised to him, we rarely see a main character do this to people they do wrong just because they were in pain! I loved to see it! I loved seeing her fix her relationship with her parents in the end, and the second lead wasn’t lead on and he took the rejection like a champ, it didn’t even feel like there was a competition but just a silly misunderstanding between everyone. It was nice how everything was finally summed up in the end.
It was a pretty good show, I’ll be honest the only reason why my rating bumped up to 8 is because I liked the ending so much. Kdramas genuinely miss on their endings every damn time but this was really nice to watch. I felt happy finishing this show! However I do believe it would be more fun to watch this with someone since some episodes do get a bit boring..👀

Outdid Greys Anatomy
Man listen, I recently reread my review of season 1 and I wrote something along the lines of how it didn’t convince me it was a good show but i’m still tuning in because its interesting. I have no idea what I was thinking back then, because this is genuinely one of the best K-Dramas I have ever watched.Besides the fact that theres a huge ass gap between the last time I watched this show (and i legit forgot so much about it lol), finding out there was a season 3 of this show was like finding a buried treasure!!
I watched season 2 like 2 years ago I think? I watched it on netflix and binged season 1 and 2 at once and I’ve been in love with it ever since. I read not long ago that netflix wasn’t going to renew it for season 3 so I assumed season 3 wasn’t happening at all (i was devastated) but then recently I saw people post about it on tiktok and i was like, wait a minute….when did this happen… THERES SEASON 3?!
I checked netflix just to be sure but netflix still doesn’t have season 3 on their platform and I’m assuming it won’t ever be there but, thankfully I’ve got other apps to watch season 3 on and I was genuinely so excited and happy when I started it.
The nostalgia I felt starting it, along with older and new characters getting introduced. I’ve had the biggest K-Drama block of my life, I couldn’t bring myself to watch any K-Dramas anymore and this show completely erased that. I was excited every day to start a new episode and in just a few weeks I finished it all. Seriously this is one of the best K-dramas ever. Actors are amazing in here, especially master kim.
Amazing casting, amazing pacing, amazing plots. The show was so good it made me want to be a doctor myself (not happening but i genuinely considered it for a second), the visuals of operations, the way they operate and just do everything man its perfect!!
Really one of the best shows, I hope it gets renewed for a season 4 again!

Im telling you right now, need a kdrama for a good laugh? THIS IS IT!!!
Oh my god, I swear I don't think I've ever laughed this much watching a kdrama before than with this one. Just. MWAH: Masterpiece. The characters and acting, so well done. Its so silly yet the romance scenes make your heart skip a beat and then it switches to a bittersweet feeling and you're just experiencing so many things at once. Some people say this was like a BL/GL in disguise which...if you watch you will see what they mean. Such a silly kdrama, and it contains time travel which is one of my favourite genres ever. I really hope you guys choose to watch this kdrama. Its so criminally underrated. And it has an AMAZING OST. Oh my god definitely one of my favourite OST's ever because its equally silly as the show and just so energetic that it makes you want to dance and sing along. YEPYEP 10/10. SOLID.

Twins switch their lives, shit happens
I was excited for this show since it started its promotions, the concept was so interesting and although its not something new or never done before, it was still done really well and every episode made me eager for the next one. I really liked every character in this show and their development throughout the series.Park BoYoung as always does an amazing performance, her acting skills will never cease to impress me! But I really hope she gets a happy role soon cus oh my lawdd why does she keep having the most depressing roles ever, she’s like Park Jihoon with her role choices!😭
Overall it was really an amazing show. I enjoyed it so much, it’s truly a 10/10 for me. One of my favourites. I will say though that episode 11 was such a heavy and exhausting watch. It felt like they wrapped everyone’s conflict at once in one episode just to quicken the ending but it didn’t ruin the show thankfully. It was just a bit tiring since every other scene was somebody crying over something 😭
Overall, loved the couples, the characters, the dynamics. I wish we got more of Mirae and Sejin, I lowkey preferred them over the main couple (Miji and Hosu) even though they were cute as well. Really lovely show!

Prepare to rip your hair out
HOLY MOLYYYY!!!!!If you’ve been waiting for this season since the first one released…then you must know the feeling of not being fully satisfied, because thats how this season left me.
Although that doesn’t mean it was bad but it definitely frustrated the shit out of me.
Not only did it feel like dumbed down every damn police officer and character this season, but somehow it seemed like our main characters along with side characters who fight, got weaker instead of stronger? They gave us a 4 year timeskip and during that time Gunwoo focused on getting the championship title but didn’t get stronger even though he was praised for being incredibly strong and intelligent when it came to fighting throughout the first season. It seemed redundant because in season 2 bothe Gunwoo and Woojin got their asses beat throughout the episodes and only in the last ep did Gunwoo do his kumbaya ritual and won, it was exactly similar to what season 1 did but with higher steaks and more brutality. The villain in season 2 was genuinely terrifying…like i felt his terror so they did an amazing job at making Rain the villain!
It just felt so so frustrating watching him beat everyone…! Especially Gunwoo!!! Each fighting sequence had me so mad I stopped looking forward to them because I knew to expect our good guys to get their shit rocked, I mean wow! Literally almost every episode they would lose a fight. It was anti climactic considering this show started off by showing off Woojin and Gunwoo’s fighting skills.
Regardless of that, season 2 was incredibly entertaining and it kept me on my toes each episode. I binged all 7 episodes in one day, it was easy to be curious about what the next episode held. The frustration you have builds up to hope and you saying “Come on!!! Beat his ass!!!!!!” throughout the episodes LOL.
But this season was such a nostalgia fest, so many characters from season 1 came back and flashbacks of the ones who passed away made me cry, it was a bummer that Kim Saeron’s character wasn’t mentioned at all or given information on what or where she is. In any case I hope atleast her character got to live on atleast in that universe.♥️
Incredibly frustrating, yet satisfying in the end. Still a crazy plotwist in the end which makes me all the more frustrated because now I need a season 3!!!!!!SMH!!!!!!
But yeah, so many things were left unanswered, now all I can hope for is that it gets renewed.
Great bromance, so many new relationships formed, so many older bonds which grew stronger. It healed something inside of me while it also made me leave unsatisfied, all in all. Season 1 is unmatched but season 2 heals you a little bit before beating you to a pulp and then only then gives you a little break and a kiss on the forehead in the last episode.
Not a bad season 2, frustating as hell…but not bad! Hope a season 3 will happen though!

Yearners are earners
Seriously, the yearning by the ML in this show is top tier. This is what I like to see. Not only is he head over heels for her in the past but in the present as well. All timelines he is looking for her and waiting on her. What a story.Lol, I’m saying this as if this plot has never been done before when its the most typical synopsis of time travel kdramas. One of the main leads from Joseon travels to modern times, struggles to integrate, then integrates, then intrigues their love interest for being so ‘weird’ and the rest is history. I’ve played these games beforeeeeee!!
But on a real note, these type of shows aren’t watched for new innovative plots. They’re there to be judged by their performances and how convincing the love story between the main characters is. And my god, they certainly sold their love story good!
Like I said before, time travel kdramas seem to be a hot topic nowadays so you have to be careful how you do it. You could easily take a genre like this and make it boring. But they kept it fun, entertaining and interesting. I was intrigued each episode and I LOVED! the couple. They were so lovely together that it made me sad when the end was nearing. Not only were they good but I liked the little side couple they created between the manager and the actress. Can’t say I didn’t see it coming but I liked their little cameos as well. Maybe a bit greedy of me to wish to have seen them develop a little more. If not that, I would’ve loved a spicy scene between the main couple since Heo Namjun definitely has the vibes for it…👀 But alas, the show was genuinely so good. No wonder it got good ratings! I was hooked from the beginning. Waiting for Fridays and Saturdays was hell. But now I’m sad it ended. What a lovely couple this show gave us.
Farewell Cha Segye and Shin Seori!

I feel like this movie will hit harder once you rewatch it and you know everything thats happening, and you start seeing signs of what the reality really is. Its just so fucked up and mind boggling and leaves you with an empty feeling once you finish it because then you're left wondering...could all of this been avoided and done in a more proper way? Both of their deaths were symbolic but it hurts so much. Both of them never intended on hurting anyone and their fucked up fates just seemed to clash together which breaks my heart for the both of them. I recommend this if you like movies who fuck your mind up a bit...

Absolutely loved it
Dare I say better than 20th century girl?I truly loved this movie, it was silly, just the right amount of quirky and it was so good it even had my family who don’t consume asian content invested 😂
The only thing that I found a bit disappointing is how they depicted curly hair as ‘ugly’ but its wonderful how the message in the end is that her hair is just as equally beautiful and she left her hair curly ❤️
The couple was so adorable and had so much chemistry 🥹 I’ll definitely be rewatching this sometime again, i’ve felt so many butterflies watching their budding romance develop throughout the movie. I recommend it!

KARMA IS REAL
Oh my god!!! If you know me, you know i LOVE revenge stories. Oh my god, the satisfying ending of every villain just brought me so much joy. The fact that everyone is somehow connected and everyone got to meet their demise for their sins- just wow. What an amazing kdrama.I finished everything in one sitting, such a good show that keeps you interested and entertained! Every character makes you second guess who’s the good guy who’s the bad guy. The plotwists in here were crazy.
Amazing! Really good. Lowkey wish it had more episodes…either way, for such a short series, really well done and nicely finished!
