This drama reminds me so much about Boys over Flowers - F4 Boys. There is a rich guy/poor girl, another guy yearning for the senior, and another matching with the best friend and the fourth being overall goofy 🥹
No comedy scenes. For me the pacing was expected for a tvn and it’s 70ish minutes long. They do show their younger…
Great, I will take a break - have been watching too many airing dramas b2b. Till that time more episodes will air for this one and then I can watch many at one go to avoid any kind of slow-pace
I'm on ep7 but I think the drama getting draggy with the dog storyline..I'm have to skip story about dog...And…
There is another animal/pet - Hae Sook's cat, Sonya. Which means other pets are also there, but they have focused more on dogs and cat. But yes, initially I loved the comedy and then the emotional aspect that pet/pet parents had but yes, it became draggy.
In fact a lot of points in the drama have been great when done initially - but then used again and again, and it became a little draggy. Unfortunate for a drama with such a great start and middle part.
I mean you might have already guessed why the chemistry is fire of Hae-Sook and Pastor, the bickering and the time they spend together cooking and eating makes it obvious. But yeah watch more episodes and it will reveal why.
They have no connection at all. You will not find anything at all by watching other dramas. The only they took…
Got it - thanks a lot. Given this is 40 eps, and still airing and the fact that I am usually not into c-dramas, I wanted to confirm before starting it.
"Oh, and bonus points: he dubbed himself this time!" I am relatively new to C-dramas, and am curious about this statement? Does it mean that the actors usually don't dub themselves? Like what is this concept - if anyone can explain?
I find some c-dramas, where the audio does seem slightly off to the artist speaking it. Is it cause the dubbing and action are filmed separately?
Hello - I want to start this drama, but I see some parent story and spin-offs mentioned. Is it mandatory to watch the parent stories to understand this drama? Like will I be lost in this drama, if I don't watch them, or okay to ignore?
UPDATE: I got the answer that it is not mandatory to watch. Thanks all for answering!
Yeah, when ever I saw the movie brought up by people in other forums they say they did not like the movie. So…
I really hope so - like I was so bummed out. I was not agree but rather sad that the cast of that movie did not deserve such a weak plot. Even I am looking forward to this being a series and given the new direction, really looking to see how the same premise could have a different and hopefully better result!
So I came to know of this show because of the appearance made by the main leads of Pump Up the Healthy Love - Lee Jun Young and Jung Eun Ji. And of course, I admire - Park Bo Gum, so I watched that episode and plan to watch more, provided I get access to them.
Came on the MDL page as I saw this was Season 7, so wanted to know how it all started and who were the other hosts. Surprised but not really - to get to know that Season 1 was hosted by Jay Park.
And now am curious - given Jay Park is not only an amazing artist, he is a great businessman in the entertainment industry. Like he really is smart to have had so many diverse ventures - and therefore does anybody know if this SEASON Series was his brainchild or someone else?
This is just me being curious - I find K-variety shows to be brilliant, conceptually - they are so many and yet so diverse, that it blows my mind everytime on how creative they can be. This show is one of them and hence my long-winded question since I could not find the answer online....
If they are remaking the original movie - then that's good cause it was needed for sure. I had been waiting for a long time before I could finally find the movie and watch it. My expectation were all time high given it was JCW + action theme. But oh boy, how disappointed I was. I was sad to the point to call it one of the worse projects of JCW's career.
So if it is a remake of the original plot - I hope they do it better this time, as along with JCW - I see a lot of other great artists in the case, so expecting some kind of redemption from the previous disaster that the previous work was. #fingers-crossed
Could be - but that is the thing - we are second guessing and making assumptions, and hoping that yeah, this may have been the reason. This is what I did not like with the final reveal - it is fitting everything in the story, but still not 100% convincing.
Like this thing with Young -Ae, as well as the previous memory we saw Nak Joon was clearly drowning Som-i. And then the whole thing why could they not recognize Hae-Sook in her youth and had to play this card of being oblivious.
I want more episodes to air before I start this drama - but am a forever fan of Park Bo Young, and cannot wait to see her in this. I believe a lot of it will be relatable given the social commentary I could see from the trailer.
Want to know from those who have seen it - how is the pace? Slow or extremely slow that it is sometimes boring? I know this is a life-genre drama, so will be slow. But I want to get my expectation right before starting. Also are there any funny/comedy scenes?
yeaah I agree with you. I like me a concept that the rules applied to everyone, no exceptions, since it was heaven…
Could be and which is why am okay with how it is. I think I have come across many dramas in my drama-addict life, where this is the usual. I am already looking forward to SSK's next project "Nine Puzzles" so its all water under the bridge.
Will complete the finale today and that's it. Hopefully they tie everything well in the end and let us know what all the reincarnated people are up to - that's all I want to know at this point 🥹

Yes - like if anyone has seen shows like Tomorrow. There are set rules that we are told as the drama progresses. And whenever there are exceptions called out there are some repercussions or conditions attached, so it made sense. Even a drama like Judge from Hell - that too had both go hand in hand, and while it was not perfect, the rationale fit. Same with the older dramas like Goblin. Either they gave examples that this is an exceptional situation but has happened before, or there is a compelling logic that is irrefutable. Here I have many questions that I know won't be answered. and the narrative, Idk just did not sit well with me. Like I understand it at face-value but then it just seemed convenient just to close the chapter than impactful. 🫤
There is a rich guy/poor girl, another guy yearning for the senior, and another matching with the best friend and the fourth being overall goofy 🥹
Till that time more episodes will air for this one and then I can watch many at one go to avoid any kind of slow-pace
Thanks for sharing your views - helps!
It had a great start - did not live up to it.
In fact a lot of points in the drama have been great when done initially - but then used again and again, and it became a little draggy. Unfortunate for a drama with such a great start and middle part.
