A beautiful masterpiece
For the people who are hesitant to watch this because of the fairly ridiculous plot i advise u to abandon that notion Strong woman is one of the best dramas to come out in the entire Korea. This drama has blended Romance and humour to a tee it is very funny and the Romance between the two main characters is very entertaining to watch u must try this drama the only bad things in my opinion was the boring 2nd male lead and the ridiculous serial killer plotline but aside from that this is the drama to watchWas this review helpful to you?
Completely stupid
Will mever watch it willingly again. Leave it to Japan to come up with the most random shows for viewers. It's something you watch once then laugh in the future after watching it because of its ridiculous plot. The only thing i remember liking is the fact the female lead had enough of a backbone to leave him in the end.Was this review helpful to you?
An Underrated Gem
A unique k drama that cares about the plot and story making sense over asthetics and glamour. With the entire cast with good storylines and each character with a fundamental purpose to the plot. very good job.This is one of the shows you don't hear about in mainstream success but everyone who watches it will always praise it. Everything in this show makes sense which is rare for a k drama they actually take time to explain the purpose of each thing so u don't end up confused. The main couple have very good chemistry and look very good next to each other. Except for a few cringey scenes and a couple of uncessary moments it's a solid good k drama everyone should at least try.

Nothing to go crazy about
This entire drama was nice soft and simple but unfortunately that's not my style. For 20 episodes it was decent no dramatic emotional plotlines just a typical average drama,nothing bad but also nothing good. I personally didn't particularly like anything but at the same time didn't dislike anything It's just an average watch u don't remember after a few months.Also i didn't like the main couples chemistry it was a bit boring in my opinion. They had better chemistry off screen in the behind the scenes.

Really heartwarming
I rated it this low because they completely fked up in the last episode but from what i can see a season 2 was agreed thats why they did that for a set up.I really loved the background the republican era exciting and lovely i also loved the cast they all did a great job especially the female leads very rare to ses that kind of level of good acting in a chinese drama.
Even tho it's a censored GL they left us enough room to interpret what their relationship might be like which was good. And the story and murder mysteries were really played out well especially in the first half. Hopefully season 2 can give them more rooom for improvements.

Incredible
Very good drama with a sensible victorious responsible fenake lead who doesn't tolerate nonsense. She's rekiable quick ambitious and very headstrong she crumbled all her enemies and watched them drown and ended up victorious. The only reason i didn't rate it higher was because it was a little dragged out but it was still an incredible show regardlessWas this review helpful to you?
Koreas failed attempt at Inventing Anna
It's a nice decent story in my opinion just nothing special. It remonds me so much of the inventing Anna tv show similar concepts someone pretending to be a different person to appeal to high society, i really liked that show and i was happy because i thought this was going to be similar since it was also made by Netflix but this show failed horrendously at that attempt. For one they made everything so overcomplicated if we get rid of all the uncessary fillars this could have beesn a quick short movie not an 8 episode show. Everything is made to seem like it's this big incredible secret but any person with media knowledge can guess the plot from start to finish.It's not a bad drama by any means but just a little disappointing because the actress is so good irl given a script like this just makes it seem unworthy of her talents.
This is just a quick little binge that no one remembers after it's done that's all.

A Star Studded but regular drama
I finally watches this drama after putting it on my watch list for over a year and i was not extremely pleased this was just a regular average drama that happened to cast 2 very famous leads now here are some of the things i enjoyed1. I loves the very realistic portrayals of burnout syndrome i feel and relate to this so much even if u do well in High school and spend ur every moment preparing for successful it is not guaranteed and u can most likely have an unsuccessful life. The leads struggle with there mental health and their journey of how they found one another in their darkest moments really touched me and is literally one of the only reasons i rated it so high. The portrayal of mental health Depression PTSD was done very well here
2. The 2nd leads were actually entertaining their story as single divirced parents navigating dealing with different gender children touched my heart as we dont get too see this common in Korean dramas
3.The leads academic rivarly and friendship,those flashbacks from high school were so funny and nice to watched it warmed my heart the way they bartered each other was truly the comedy aspect of this drama. And before tehe caught feelings for one another their friendship as Adults was surprisingly very interesting they helped each other and found happiness in one another i dont believe every single connection between men and women need to be romantic and this is an unpopular opinion i would have preferred if they were just friends not that their was anything wrong with their relationship they are several moments which they were adorable but it was just heartwarming to see them navigate becoming childhood enemies to friends
Those things are generally what i liked about the show there is nothing else that made me want to watch it everything else was just mellow and non interesting in my opinion
the leads have an okay amount of chemistry not seething and fiery just a measurable amount compare it to another of the leads famous drama Strong woman boon song i could barely frel him and Park Shin hyes chemistry it felt like a mellow plug. I mean we could imagine they together in a way that makes sense but still ache for chemistry
Her entire family dynamic was just blah i didn't care if there scenes came up or not i would still watch
The entire Case and lawsuit against him was extremely predictable i clocked it from the beginning it was obvious he was framed and i wasn't aching to find out what happened
Thats all my takeaways from the show honestly everything else isnt worth my time to type

An interesting watch
In the first half of the show it was probably one of the best dramas out there 2 mentally stimulating intelligent people involved in a supreme battle of wits then after the 2nd half came it just turned into a bland cliche story but i would encourage everyone to watch even if it's just for the first halfWas this review helpful to you?
VERY ENGAGING STORY VERY CRINGEY EXECUTION
This drama had a potentially to be one of my best but it kept on egging the fan service that made my physically sick in a story about the most powerful person in the world and his team of ninja trained female disciples why do we need to see their revealing sides way too often completely disturbed me and made me not want to watch anymore i don't understand the obsession of having barely legal women showcase their cleavage up and about even if its for a cartoomWas this review helpful to you?
Finally a smart female lead
If your tired of weak unconfident mostly stupid non engaging female leads this is the drama for you our female lead is capable of using her brain all on her own not only is she smart the Male lead is dashing smart and respectable maling for the perfect power couple pls watch this drama if you want a show about 2 smart engaging intellectual human beings who care for one anotherWas this review helpful to you?
Chefs kiss
Looking for a revenge drama where the main leads just crush their opponents and come out on top every single time that is Vicenzo a beautiful comedy fuelled masterpiece with very promising villians, Vicenzo has all and is one of the best revenge stories with no setbacks a must watch. The acting and blended personalities of the main couple makes it so easy to watch the adventures of side characters is intriguing and even the characters you want to hate just end up being the ones you love. Vicenzo is a top watch must try dramaWas this review helpful to you?

AN OVERLOOKED DRAMA
Its an underrated gem a diamond buried in the rough this drama is exciting and thrilling i did enjoy all episodes a generious amount episodes 3 to 5 is a MASTERPIECE on its own it surely needs to be made into a drama on its own it STOOD OUT the chemistry tension and passion between the two leads on it's own was better than about 90 percent of other well known dramas they took this little budget drama and made it into their own show. I loved their tension just one look at each other and u could practically feek it from the screen while i did quite like the other episodes its obvious the 2nd couple owned the stage i hope another drama with the 2 of them comes outWas this review helpful to you?
