Great cast and...

First of all, I want to point out that the cast was great. Really perfect. This is a musical drama, so it should contain good music that fits the theme. And it had it all.

Magic in this drama symbolizes joy, even the small one. When we are children, we have something we dream about, but over time we stop thinking about it and we often become ordinary adults who adapt to the expectations of society and are afraid to be original. We forget about these seemingly small things that give us joy.

But each of us needs some magic in life, which will make us feel better at least for a moment. So let's keep at least a little of this childish joy in us to the end. Even if the public finds us weird, it's worth it.

This drama is really good and it covers an important topic.

I have to subtract one point, however, because especially in the first episodes the relationship between the magician and the high school student was shown in a strange way at times. And I didn't like it. Fortunately, this was changed later. But don't get me wrong, there was no romantic relationship between an adult and a student.

I have very mixed feelings.

AFTER WATCHING 7 EPISODES
After watching two episodes, I thought the drama would get better, but in my opinion, it didn't. I found each episode boring most of the time. Some parts look forced to make a twelve-episode drama. And why did they make fools of the sisters? They know there's something wrong with the orchid, it's dangerous, but they keep smelling it.
I'm dropping this drama. It's not worth wasting my time since every episode is boring for me.

AFTER WATCHING 2 EPISODES
rating 6.5/10

So far, I've only watched two episodes and have very mixed feelings about this drama. The first episode was really boring for me. Because I wanted to give this drama a chance, I started watching the second episode and the first half was also mostly boring. This was the moment when I started to doubt whether I should continue watching this drama. However, I wanted to finish the second episode so as not to interrupt it in the middle of watching it. And something unexpected happened to me. The rest of the episode contained parts that interested me.

I want to mention that I really appreciate how the feelings, characters, and situations the characters find themselves in are represented by the lighting and design of their apartments/houses.

I'm not sure if I will continue watching this drama. I want to consider the pros and cons so as not to waste time unnecessarily on something that bored me for most of the first episodes.
I will probably choose to watch the third episode and after that, I will decide whether or not to continue watching.

I will update this review.

2.5/10 because of the great cast

I'm putting this one on hold for now. I feel like it became a little too predictable, even though we don't know who the Big Mouse is at this point. Maybe I will come back to this drama because I love the actors who play in it. However, my initially high expectations will be much lower.

Or I'll just drop it…

I had mixed feelings about this drama from the very first episodes, but each time I decided to watch it further because of the actors who were doing great. The way this story is written is mediocre, and even brilliant actors can't help it. In fact, it destroys the potential of the actors.

I feel very disappointed with this drama because I waited a long time for Lee Jong Suk's first drama after he finished his military service and it does not meet even half of my expectations.

Of course, I decided to watch this movie because of the cast. I remember when it was released in 2017, a lot of people were talking about it. And I can understand why.

Besides increasing Kwon Yoo's determination when he was in prison, higher technology plays a large role in this movie. I like it. The concept of picking people who fit into being the criminal in a given crime and framing them is interesting. But overall, this movie is somehow predictable. It's pretty obvious who the real bad guy is. It's kind of typical, and there's really nothing that makes this movie stand out.

The movie didn't bore me, I watched it with interest, but nothing about it captivated me.

After losing interest in My Demon halfway through, I had trouble finding a drama that would interest me enough to start watching. However, this one caught my attention. It has some cliché plots, but ultimately I have a soft spot for it as long as it's not over the top. I had fun watching the first two episodes and I can't wait for the next ones. I'm guessing the main plot will be quite predictable, but that doesn't bother me. The chemistry between the characters is really good. I hope I don't lose interest in this drama because it looks like it will be a lot of fun.

I only watched the first two episodes...

I only watched the first two episodes and I can't watch any more because they bored me so much. This drama with these actors and the idea for the story had a lot of potential, but it's still bad. The idea of ​​revenge by seduction is boring, there is nothing special about it and dragging it through most / the entire series is overkill even if the final revenge will be different. Some scenes I've seen gave me makjang vibes which made me stop watching this drama immediately. It's a pity that this drama has many elements that I don't like because it was promising and I had high expectations for it. However, I think that it's not worth wasting time on it.

The first 2 episodes were promising but then the quality dropped.

The first two episodes were very promising, but suddenly in the following episodes, the theme of time travel was almost completely forgotten. This created gaps in the plot, because how the hell in one day he learned to embrace technology without any problem? The rest of the episodes were just boring to me. The acting is average too. I don't see any chemistry between the characters. For now, the relationship between Huai En and Wen Hsen looks a little better, but the whole thing is still weak.

[slight spoiler of 4 first episodes]
Tai Che Ni found Hai Yi's ex-girlfriend in one day. Hai Yi definitely could have done it himself, because considering what Che Ni was doing, it wasn't a matter of lockdown issues. Che Ni didn't mention a word about Hai Yi to her and was just trying to pretend he was hitting on her. This plot makes absolutely no sense to me.

The previous HIStory dramas I watched were engaging from the very beginning. Unfortunately, I won't be watching this drama for now.

Maybe if I see more positive feedback later, I'll come back to watch this.

Just my thoughts after I finished watching...

AFTER I FINISHED WATCHING THE DRAMA

I really enjoyed the romance between the adult main characters. They had great chemistry.
The drama also touched on several topics related to the problems of Korean society, such as the pressure parents put on their children to study. And that leads to the question of what eventually happened to Sua? It seemed that in the earlier episodes she had quite a lot of screen time, but eventually she was forgotten and the creators focused on explaining the mysterious plot, the solution of which was obvious anyway.
Also what about Hui Jae and his mother? They went on a trip and suddenly everything was fine? I feel it's not enough to close their story.
I really enjoyed this drama until it turned out that the stories of several characters were not properly closed. Also, the dark plot took up a bit too much screen time, because only one person could really be the culprit - especially considering that the creators wanted to direct suspicion to Hui Jae in the first place.
But most of the time I had fun watching this drama. So my rating hasn't dropped much.

AFTER I WATCHED 9 EPISODES
Rating 10/10
We knew from the beginning that there is some mystery in this drama. So we know that finally the dark subplot will be resolved. However, at the moment, most of the scenes are lighter and mostly do not refer to the dark part of the drama. This is quite a typical treatment in Korean productions, and I like it.

In the drama, we also have mothers obsessed with their children's education. Including one really annoying mother-daughter duo.

So far, I really like everything about this drama and I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

AFTER I WATCHED 1 EPISODE
Rating: 8/10

I like that it looks like we've already gotten some introduction to all or most of the threads that will be covered in the drama. The first episode gave me the feeling that it will be a bit of a cute, sometimes dark story with humour typical of Korean productions. I really like actress Roh Yoon Seo and at the moment I watched all the things she starred in. I have high hopes for her character.

I've seen comments about FL looking old. Well, the actress is almost 50 years old and is 10 years older than the actor playing the role of ML. Of course, it can be seen sometimes. But it's not so noticeable that some people make such a big deal of it. They both look great and fit their roles.

I think I'll like this drama, but we'll see. So far it looks really good.
