This could have, should have, been much better. It had all the right ingredients for a legendary drama: good actors, good sets, great clothing, and great food scenes. The script was the weakest link and it shows in the acting. I barely made it to the end. The slow motion cooking scenes carried me through the many dull moments including the boring fight scenes. The ending was comical. I couldn’t take it seriously even knowing the expected ending. The food and Xu Kai were the best parts of this drama. 7.5/10
This is entertainment in a little package. No fillers or extended useless episodes, just cuteness that makes you want to cheer for the MLs and say a prayer for the love rival. 9/10
I was slow to start watching because I got tired of the typical “road trip with friends” travel shows. This was was much better. They didn’t have members fighting for camera time except for Hong Chul’s “Netpleeeeex “ boot licking every episode trying to get free Netflix membership for life! Yes, Hong Chul screens a lot. Then, I got used to it like I got used to he screaming in kdramas. Rain was the perfect balance to the over active Hong Chul who is in his element like a mermaid in water, but, is afraid of fish touching him! Rain pulled him down when he got out of hand an those scenes were not edited out. I especially like how they appreciated the scenery and just let the camera roll. 9/10
I thought it would be better from the early episodes. Then, it went downhill and landed with a cheap ending. The standard miscommunications with a lot of no communications plot. Porn was sprinkled in as a distraction and to get more views. It worked. What they did right is show that both sexes cheat on their partners. Unfortunately, there were too many cheaters in an 8 episode drama to have good character development. So, the only thing memorable were their sex scenes and not their parts in the storyline. The main couple and the love rivals were just as boring. They didn’t communicate until it was too late. 7.5/10
The acting was the best part of the drama. The veteran actors were great to watch. The plot and sub plots were weak. The standard misunderstandings caused poor communication and drove too much of the storyline. 8/10
This is not bad through the first 14 episodes I have watched. I have a low tolerance for the selfishness of the cheaters. So, I skip through many of their scenes. Character development is in depth and occurs early. Cultural rules and strong family influences drive the decisions the characters make even if they know they will be unhappy.
It’s a good drama to see face slappings of the evil in-laws and selfish husband. The plot is very predictable and is expected for this type of drama. 8/10.
This movie shows that we are all the same underneath when the facade is removed. At some point in their lives everyone fears rejection, wants acceptance, and seeks love. 8.5/10
The OST was perfect for the drama. I came for the main leads and they did well along with the supporting actors. The storyline had more fillers than expected for a 24 episode drama. I skipped a lot of it. The ending was abrupt. Left too much to the viewer’s imagination on the outcome of the leads when they were detailed about the supporting couples. I questioned who the FL ended up with after all that waiting. 8/10’
This is one of the times where I wish for a white truck of death to take out a few irritating supporting characters and the writer! Unnatural tragedies keep coming and my favorite characters are suffering from cliche-itis! I may not make it to the end of the roller coaster ride. Lol
It’s syrupy sweet! The acting is very good. I love the plot twists which are unexpected in a simple romantic storyline like this one. The child actors are adorable. 8.5/10
This writer has been dead almost 300 years! He would be shocked to see the amount of money his stories have made for other people! I watched Monster Hunt. It’s a great movie!
It’s worth watching. I watched the full episodes on Dramacool. This coming of age drama reminds be of You’re the Apple of My Eye with a good blend of sad and happy plot lines. I laughed has hard as I cried. This is only a 16 episode drama. The plot twist at the end seemed unnecessary as I was anticipating a smoother ending in the last 4 episodes to match the rest of the drama. The actors are very talented including the younger generation. I will look for more re of their projects. 8.5/10
One can say “kids will be kids. Let them hug it out and be friends the next day.” But, people react differently to words and actions. You can’t dismiss or downplay the impact words and actions have on a young mind especially in an age. Some things seem minor while it can be life changing and impactful to others with an impressionable mind. The “victim” shouldn’t be chastised for speaking up about painful memories.
It’s usually conflicting accusations we see with respect to celebrities where one party recalls the past differently than the other. The accused person rarely admits guilt. Unfortunately, for this actor, he lied about the matter hoping it would go away. Then, decided to admit guilt with the increase in accusers over the year he took to reverse his story. He lost credibility. His Public Relations team should be dismissed. His new version of the incident is also suspect with his decreased credibility. Now, he has to publicly sort the truths from the half truths and also eliminate the lies if he wants to keep his career. It’s a mess that could have gone smoother if he spoke his truth a year ago and stuck to it. He will need another year to get over this.
