I just can't take this....
pink hair likes her becasue he's looking for a mother figure/someone who'll devote their time to him. while the fl is just like kyoko? she gets obsessed with things because she looks at them as a project, but pink hair thinks he's special and then there's the fact that pink guy is also falling for her "pureness" and drunkenness ;/

cousin guy is literally family, and even though I guess it's normal but again it's like worse than being friend zoned, she doesn't see him as a man and he's way too obsessed with the "image" he had of her for 10 years which is extremely burdensome, like dude, if you couldn't confess for 10 years then it's too late move on!

teacher guy again is the only normal one, but he too seems to be still hang up on the fact that she devoted her time to help him (he was that kid right? xD) and unless he is the "one" I don't want to watch this

then the fl. her talk about back pain and the cane drives me nuts, she's not 90! and then that falling scene, I hate that move ;/
and she's being way too skinshipy with the kids, and she's like forcing herself in their friends group trying to relive her youthfulness or more like try to put herself in a position where she's the most mature because around people her age she's extremely naive.

I used to like reverse harem because it gave diverse relationships and choices, but it's more like she's so clueless that she can't see how everyone mercilessly likes her...

I'm not a fan of law dramas, I only wanted to watch this for my girl but with this writer it's just like they made a Hani role but without Hani, it's a spitting replica of the fiery priest character

the law stuff is booorrriing, yet another revenge story with evil people doing evil stuff and talking about it over dinner.. korean villains are become like the LAMOS from totally spies

the worst part is the lack of balance between serious and comedy. one second they're all hotshot poker face people and the next they're like Goofy the Disney character

the fl is super over reactive, she's a walking 2nd hand embarrassment and the ML is like a giant baby throwing tantrums
then there's the whole mess of the tenants, everyone is out of a parody textbook, I literally couldn't care less about them. just pointless time and space fillers

basically all of this criticism is directed at the writer, they just kept repeating their comedic sense from chief kim and kept repeating it in different settings


also Kim Nam Gil, Namgoong Min and Hani are made for this comedic sense but Song Joong Ki and Jun Yeo Bin are better off in serious roles


the plus side, my girl got another casting call and I loved her outfits, honestly she looked so hot in the stills..


She's more comically aggressive than Hani, Baek Inha, Veronica Park, Hwang Jungeum and even Lee Yori...
I went from "aw my girl is a total boss lady", to "aw look she's acting cute" and ended with "what the heck is wrong with her"...

And worse the other smart boss lady is also as over reactive with the weird dance and crazy facial expressions. That is not comedy and I loved Pegasus Market and Spring turns to Spring

Psycho But It's Not Okay

this is ridiculous! honestly this is not makjang, this is psychopathicness................................ and like it's not a "I don't believe this" but this is just taking the most extreme idea and acting as if it's "original" or "revolutionary".

everyone is crazy, everyone is a psychopath and everyone is a self centered entitled brat, not just the kids EVERYONE.
I hate that I'm dropping this because the actors are amazing, and most of them are my favorites, but this just makes my blood boil...

honestly I was laughing so hard, and I was rolling my eyes every 2 seconds..

1- I said if Seol Ah turns out to be Soo Ryun's daughter I'd drop it and guess what... (and that's my point, the 1st most ridiculous crazy idea comes to mind and that's what the writer used. that's just basic) that's what they're implying and I don't even want to see them "shock" the viewers ;/
2- Seo Jin is a psychopath, she doesn't just want to win, she wants to make her competitors suffer.
3- Dan Tae is a psychopath, that scene where he hired gangsters and killed Soo Ryun's husband in a dramatic way was just so infuriatingly ridiculous. but he also proceeds to cut his finger and KEEP IT.
4- Yoon Hee is a victim but she, just like her daughter and seol ah, fuels the fires of those psychopaths. like yes she had to be angry but to threaten seo jin to the point she slashed her throat? that's crazy on both ends
5- one 15 year old against a gang load of crazy psychopathic rich people... honestly she messed with the wrong bunch and she pretends that they're out to get her;
A- she fakes her identity and pokes the crazy cubs.
B- she takes pictures of the 2 psychopaths having an affair
C- she wins against yoon hee's victim mentality and her daughter
D- she literally threw a match on the already angry and crazy bunch and she exposes the kids bullying (like girl you should've just went to the cops and the newspapers. sold the exclusive, got money and went to France to sing real opera)
F- she walks with her own two 15 YEAR old feets to the enemies' lair and she gets kidnapped. then killed...

6- non of the middle schoolers looked 15, they looked 20 as they were ;/ honestly is it so hard to cast actual 15 year olds ;/
7- yoon hee literally was ready to KILL a 15 year old for a spot in a highschool! like just save your money and move to France! she should've moved 15 years ago tbh, no one there would've cared that she lost ONE award. (which she makes it sound like that ruined her life, no it was your threats against a psychopath)
8- everyone else is just as crazy and self conscious, you'd think money would make them happy ;/
9- the 1st weeks eps were almost 2 hours!
10- in sky castle the kids were mostly ok, and the characters were driven by their pasts. and for world of the married it was a revenge story about a cheating husband and the clueless wife (though the 2nd half and ending did reach the overboard makjang) but this, this was purely made for "how crazy can it get" and koreans love that but it just makes me role my eyes and compare it to The 100 which is a dystopian story xD
11- bae rona is crazy, she lost 1 competition and she was about to slash her throat! yes talent matters, but you can't always win, and you certainly need to know your battles.. again like there aren't 2 opera people in the world, she should've looked for someone else but no she blames her mom ;/ smh it is the mom's fault she didn't raise her right..
12- honestly opera is not a rich people hobby, they can't buy vocals with money and honestly buying people's opinion doesn't matter once everyone sees they have no talent, they literally had no reason for all of them to peruse opera. they could've just chose classical music.
13- the kids didn't need to be 15. they could've been 18 year olds fighting to enter their top 3 universities, were they afraid becasue the top3 were called SKY xD
14- two 40+ year olds literally kidnapped and possibly killed a 15 year old ;/

the good, that are sad becasue I'm dropping this
1- I honestly LOVE the actresses here, I've been waiting for Lee Ji Ah since Ghost Detective, Kim So Yeon since Mother Of Mine and this was my 1st time seeing Rohee's mom Eugene and they are all such amazing actresses!
2- the setting, the outfits, the makeup, the visuals are all so beautiful
3- this was my most anticipated drama ever since I heard about the castings ;(

this saddens me more than hating When I was The Prettiest and Alice becasue I expected something beautiful and amazing ;(
I actually love opera and the ost were nice but I can't take that plot

this drama was solely being carried by Lee Yoo Ri and it had nothing else. I hoped for a makjang like secret or mask, but beside the initial melo it just became a family drama, 80% of it was light romcom between the mains and bonding between Eun Soo and Woo Joo with 10% filler scene with the ml's sister -which I won't lie I didn't watch any of it- then 5% is the super convenient "connections", 2nd ml is 1st fl's childhood friend, 2nd fl is 1st ml's ex, 2nd fl and 2nd ml work together, and both are jealous of the mains ;/ and the last 5% is the actual murder mystery and makjang, and that was it.


they should've just made this into a romcom, Kang Ji Min is a really sweet ml who never snooped or judged which is refreshing but it takes away the spice of makjangs, and woojoo was an adorable baby girl. Lee Il Hwa is also great in here but tbh as an evil mother in law she only needed 1 DNA test to prove the relationship between the fl and her daughter, so like it didn't need 7eps for her to find out but atleast it's better than alice and the detective not having a DNA test on his mom's look alike ;/

Plot done to death, just kill love triangles and focus on friendship stories T_T

Sassy go go, school 2017, age of youth, my comparisons and my hopes. Sadly it's too much like the 1st two and nothing like the 3rd one

This is cute and she is one of the rare cutie, she's social and fun loving so her bubbly personality makes sense and her past trauma doesn't make her jaded or self pitying. But the story doesn't do anything me
The ml feels bland, I'm glad his getting more recognition but he has no depth, he just feels like the neighborhood's sunbae
Atleast the uni and club stuff should make me nostalgic but I don't connect. The dance doesn't seem to have any purpose

Maybe back in 2016 I'd have liked it more. I compared this to sassy go go tho tho I don't know know if I'd like that either now? I also would've hoped for a age of youth type of friendship but tbh the love triangle and the romance ruins the potential of it being a fun slice of life experience even like school 2017

overall, it was a nice easy watch.. I think it's because I've seen too many good guy/bad guy dues fighting "serial killers" that the concept is not fresh.. and the investigation part was boring, as always, but the bromance between the mains was cute, they had great chemistry... and I liked the ending, it was not super pure good, or evilly wicked, it was well balanced.. also that door scene was hilarious, as expected of MDS ;p
also, every time MDS slaps someone I feel bad, that must HURT ;)

my rewatch value is either a 1 or 10, and this was a one time watch..

the youthfulness and the friendships were the best part, I wish they focused more on that...
it was super light and easy to marathon, and that was a great contrast to all of the dark dramas I'm watching right now... I want s3 ;)

I'm so happy! I can't believe that was the end... it was too short, though it dragged alot at the start, and most of their plot lines were random fillers...
it's like if they can't make a new story they should atleast stop reusing the same stories over and over again...

I really did enjoy the smooth natural "friends to lovers" feel, they were perfect for each other~

I don't know, I'm not feeling this... it's like a play? improve in a set? a role playing game?

their lighting, set and camera just feels too cheap compared to a kdrama, and they are also kinda forcing in a love line; "ml gets sick so fl has to cook for him. insert plot twist, she can't cook but she doesn't know that" thing is overused.

their outfits were cute, and the fl was nice, but their dynamic is also overused that it's just boring to watch. the cases are always like "it's not what it looks like, and we must add a twist" and knowing there's gonna be a twist every single time takes away from the twist.

improve drama

if this had any realness to it, they'd have all walked out alone. I looked at this like I do any other drama, cheesy writer with cheesier acting. but I still enjoyed it cuz that's the main element in entertainment, CHEESE~~~~~

this was 100% scripted cuz no one would act that cheesyliy, falling in love in 8 days? choosing and fighting for someone you know nothing about beside their ideal type? rejecting someone before talking to them? they were all basically trying to not end up alone and get more screentime, do I blame them, nope.
did I enjoy nagging about every single contestant? yes. do I think any of them showed their true self? no. do I care about their real personalities? also no cuz I'm pretty sure all of them would be more secure of themselves when faced with real people they're interested in ;p

my main problem was the typicalness of the characters and the relationship... the same old "cold dark guy x soft naive girl".. I think I'd have liked it more without the forced age gap, I don't find any solid reason for making her a 19 year old beside having an excuse for her to be "clueless" and ready to chase the guy first? also to add conflict so the guy can "refuse" her saying "his too old"...

kind of like a reveres www, which was slightly frustrating, but atleast the main couple there started a "relationship" and had struggles through it, and it wasn't their main key word.. like they had a life outside of the romance?

also, the side plot, or more like the main plot(?) surrounding the guy is again so boring and pointless.. I REALLY didn't care for any his personal "struggles"....


my rewatch values are a 1 or a 10, also the music really didn't leave an impression on me, and I remember times when the song was louder than their talking?

Read More

non of them can act, zero chemistry and zero interesting plot line.. also they repeat their osts way too much

what is that awkward, slow mo, random love square, horrible voice fl that's trying way too hard to be cute, and the brooding dude that's so squeaky?

it's like gen z killing the beautiful school series, though tbh the school series "made it" because they always had good main actors, atleast they had ones I liked xD

I mean, it's kinda school 2017 but different cast.. a friend died, the fl loves a random hobby, the ml is brooding, they're "enemies to lovers" and they have 2 randoms who're in their squared love line

wash, rinse and repeat

this left a bad after taste... so basically there's goblin right? then hotel del luna was a reverse goblin so yey, then came that nine tail fox which was pushing it with a few other low qualities like the water god, the blade thingy, that time stopping thing and it all led to this


yet another repetition. dying sad lonely girl. immortal self centered cold dude and the dramatic near death truck of doom while dude slows time and tries to help her up, all in which will lead to saving her life in the end


basically it's a big waste on boyoung, she should be a manweol not the sad damsel in distress and SIG is yet again doing the same role, I don't think this would offer anything
this should've been done by "newer" actresses, even a newer actor to atleast give them attention, otherwise both are too good for this teen fantasy borefest


ps, if you don't agree with my 1st ep review go hype the 1st ep 10/10 raters ;)

why do they keep making the same story, WITH THE SAME CAST, over and over and over again!!!!!!!! beside the cold, emotionless, self centered, neat freak jerk ML (the only thing missing is face blindness), kdramas either do a childhood connection or a "enemies to lovers" thing, like sometimes bickering is not cute it just makes my blood boil as a viewer and I already wish they don't end up together.
I've suffered through Sunbae Lipsticks horrible repetition with zero plot worth, I won't suffer here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I wanted to watch this for nana but wow that's so boring. like if it was written in 2010s, why won't they even try to modify it to fit 2021?

I mean cliches are fun but if it never went away it's just another boring drama!!!
the ml is SO BAD, beside his monotonal life that doesn't appeal to me whatsoever, this is like the 3rd time Lee Min Ki's been acting as that type of character in a raw, agh I miss his Shut Up: Flower Boy Band role
the fl seems fresh, usually she'd be a crybaby to the jerk, but then it's one of those enemies to lovers thing and they bicker so much it's off putting. which again would be nana's 2nd time as that type of romance
I got curious on the white dude though but the plot doesn't even mention it? anyway this is a drop after the 1st half of ep1
