Its OK but just too tropey to be good, and there is not a lot to like about the ML. The 2ML is a lot more fun, the friend who is not much of a friend, The message you have to 'look good' to be valued is a just a bit sh!t, but almost well packed enough not to notice.

I think you do not have to take this seriously, this was made in a time when things were made for just fun, and that is what it is, just a light teen drama. Its not awful, but its not that memorable apart from the cute faces and the songs. Now it would cost a fortune to get that cast in one show.

Not really in to the circle of angst, in real life I have never met a couple who behaves like this.

I like this so much because I like complicated characters who we often have to work out their motivation, because in life people have various reason for what they do.
Its one I rewatch parts of and out the whole DEI message I think the idea of people being neuro divergent and seeing things in a black and white obsessive way perhaps is the most important, because its often a masked disability.
It has it's faults, the end is a bit melodramatic but as a whole it gives you a feel for a place, age and time, when we thought if you just worked hard you would achieve your dream.
The OST is one of the best ever.

Not good for me, I had worked who done it early on and I found the FL an obnoxious idiot and my husband did as well. Not a clever enough plot.

This is one of the few drama that stands the time, each character is someone you could meet in real life.

This could have been so much better if it was less eps, there was a lot of naval gazing and filler.
I find Shin Sae Kyeong a two expression actress, and one of them is blank.

Pretty at times but so little sense in the content, skipped a lot.

How can you like something as a whole but hate the ML and FL, ML a self absorbed liar and FL just dumb, IMO. Hated the ending.

I liked this because the FL wasn't really that likeable and Bae Suzy seems to play the same roles. It was an OK watch but at times just a bit of a formula.

Could only give this 7,5. Bad wig acting at the start, and a plot that often makes no real sense if you have a brain.
Lee Jin Wook plays a plank yet again, wooden. I think he can act but he is a terrible picker of scripts, or needs to pay the mortgage.

I liked this a lot because it has a great range of female roles. The story is good but it has a hard edge, and often ambiguous.

Some bits of this are amazing and some are just filler, and I hate the ending, cope out and totally unrealistic.

When you watch this you have to remember when it was written, and its a bit like a soap opera with some OTT characters. I watched twice completely in three months, because the script is clever and the story apart from the set up eps never flags. You get to see actors at nearly at the start of their careers and learn why people hark back to old k drama.

I would have given a higher score, at least a 9.5, but the second couple are the most self involved waste of space ever. 8.5

The best thing about this is Kim young Kwang, because he managed to play the charming to manipulative psycho in such a realistic way and didn't go in to caricature. I think the cut back make up and the greying hair adds to the sense that is a real person.

I think Kim Nam Gil was miscast, he didn't really convey and thought process underneath, may have been too much makeup, and the need to make him look a clean cut hero. There although on scene where he looks absolutely lost which is heart breaking.

Kim Won-hae gets to show the range of his acting, usually the dad is just a trope, but I think he gave some grounded reality to the role.
I can only give it 8.5 because the script was a bit all over the place, and the end the stuff of melodrama.
It could have been a 9.5 for me, but they seemed to be wanting to stay on the side of safe, when when they should have gone full Squid Game.

I do not like 30+plus ep dramas very much, but tis managed to keep me entertained all the way through. The Bridgeton type story construction, where each couple has their own story makes it so it never flags. I liked the fact that the characters are not wholly good or bad , my favourite is the mother, because once you become her chick if she is using a carrot or a stick she is on your side.

I hope the actors come out of this circle of hell alive after this.
I thought it started well, interesting ideas and a body swap, acres of space for camp fun with a serious undertone. Ended up a complete mess, what idea there was was lost in scenes that were just there with no effort to add to character development or plot. Who is writing this sh!t. It makes My Stubborn look like a masterpiece.
I do not think it was the actors fault, but there is only so many times you can give the same coy or lost expression. My commiserations go to Earth who was sold a pup.

Completed. Originally I was going to junk this because the writing and plot was so feeble, just rambling going now where fast and completely illogical, I know its drama but there should be some semblance of reality.
The last four episodes seemed like they were written by a completely different person, its like about ep 18 some one came back off holiday and said lets sort this sh!t out.
I think you could just watch the first 3ish eps and the last 6 eps and ir would still make sense.
My score is because it was made competently at the end.

It comes and goes but I managed to find it on a site through google, It started on Youtube and then got taken down.
This site seems to have subs.
