It is quite boring in my opinion. The second half isn't any better and overall is just bland with some high points.…
I agree with all your points, esp the fish kisses. I actually don't mind resets in plot lines if done correctly! (lovely runner comes to mind)...this just was tooo boring.
First life (after the cat one) was ok, second was such a drag I forced myself to watch it, so by the time it reached the 3rd life I had lost all interest. It's such a waste of a potentially amazing plot. They could have made it sooo much better. I feel bad for the actors and crew cause they were clearly trying but the writing dragged it down to boredom.
Actually enjoyed it though it took me a while to warm up to this drama, the first few episodes where a little boring and didn't catch my interest. Only once the main leads started interacting more did this drama start to really take shape. Thank god for the chemistry between then from the get go.
I really like how Xie Wei was written and like other comments below really don't understand how the same writer wrote Ninge'r. She gets to go back in time and it feels like she does nothing. I feel like this was such a wasted opportunity - she could have easily been written smarter and wittier but she was almost always still an icy damsel in distress. Despite the weak character Bai Lu did portray her really well and she had on screen chemistry with everyone.
Too much of the story was wasted on the second ML, I wish they had dedicated more time building the romance between the leads instead of relying on "you are the only one that saved me before".
The OST was really good and fight scenes fun to watch (if a little OTT). Would recommend this if you like political strategies and late in the drama romance.
Ep 10 and my interest has dwindled. Given that it's reliving a life they could have had so much fun with this plot device (other dramas have) but this is really like watching grass grow. They barely show what went wrong in the past life for us to watch the main leads ensure it doesn't happen here. I think judging from the reviews and the comments below I'm going to give this a miss.
I couldn't have agreed more with what you wrote. I started this while it was airing but put it on hold. Thought…
YES! they completely overlooked the miscarriage, they never had a proper conversation about why she became so cold (because she blamed herself for the miscarriage) and it really just was lets throw everything at it right down to the last 20 mins. I was rolling my eyes and just FFW to finish it in the last half an hour.
A solid 8/10 for me. Good start but too many lulls yet had too much going on made my neck hurt with all the (very foreseeable) twists. Unfortunately the writers threw in every trope and the kitchen sink. I didn't feel any chemistry between the leads but that doesn't mean they were bad together. They were cute and had their moments but there was no tension really. Everyone acted well but there were too many fillers and too many meaningless subplots. This show was saved by a good cast and decent acting. I esp like the way the ML's mom was written.
Overall, this is kinda what the world thinks kdramas are all like, but that isn't a bad thing either. It's a fun watch regardless.
decent acting but this draaaggeed. I don't know how they managed to make a short series feel so draggy. Too much time given to the second lead (even though they were cute the main leads disappeared for most of the middle part). The plot line all but forgotten for most of the drama, only the start of the drama was good. I couldn't be bothered to finish it.
I enjoyed this season but I felt Dr Kim was the one who was missing the most. His scenes were far and few between. I wish there was more of him in this season. Unlike what most have echoed below...I would like season 4 to be with different cast (apart from the staple nurse and Dr Nam). I feel like that's when Dr Kim himself can play a much bigger role as a mentor.
Season 3 was a great ending to the first 2 seasons, I just want a new season with new Doctors for the amazing lines that Dr Kim delivers in mentor mode.
Such a cute and adorable drama. This really hits you in the feels and the chemistry between the leads was off the charts. I really enjoyed watching their scenes together (and unlike some dramas we actually get a lot of the leads together).
There were some filler moment that were meh but overall this is what Kdramas are allllll about. All this love and heart shaped loving stares and all the warm and fuzzies. It was such a joy to watch. Someone below said the writers wanted every episode to have a some kind of second hand embarrassment for Im Sol and I have to agree! But it was always hilarious and adorable. You really started to view her through the lens of Sun Jae and can see why he fell for her. Really well done to the writer, cast, production team giving us such a great drama!
I recommend this to anyone going through a tough time - It will totally lighten up your days!
Also the OST by 10cm Spring Snow - sooooo amazing and fits with the drama so well.
Well done mini series, I watched the ML in another one and thought he was too stiff so wanted to see if that's how he was in all, but he really has a range here. FL was a little dull and lifeless but not terrible either. They still had good chemistry and the first half was well thought out but the writer just went for cliches after that (which is ok for a mini series).
A good watch overall. Would have preferred a slightly better written FL.
wow.... the FL in this is wayy too stupid to watch. Zero revenge plot and the FL just does stupid things over and over again. Can't even take it seriously for the silly mini series its supposed to be.
Not bad for a short series, not the best acted and like others said the beard on the General was a choice....a wrong choice. Overall the first half was more fun that the second and they should have just extended that part to make it more fun to watch.
Still if you want to binge nonsense with your brain off, this is an option.

Feels like a waste of money and talent....
