dont take it so seriously its not bad buddy.

I think this series has had a bit of a harsh review so far, I understand its contenders have set the bar high example.. bad buddy, not me - are a big jump but this series is also a very different series to those. they cant be lumped into the same category. I don't think its meant to be taken so seriously, the series is very satire/comedically orientated- over exaggerated characters, personalities and story line- in saying that I really enjoy the series so far I find it light hearted and quiet funny. as stated earlier the series is not based on serious relationships or storyline, its funny. the characters have questionable traits example I've seen people mention about toh's obsessive behaviour- I think this is also part of the punchline and amplified personalities to fit the satire of the series, which is WHAT MAKES IT FUNNY. if your looking for something light-hearted and filled with goofy characters and dumb scenarios the are so cringe they make you cack up laughing I suggest watching this for yourself and giving your own opinion.

Gods as stupid as commoners, ridiculous storyline

I've tried my best to watch this drama but I really can't go on ! Those Gods who are supposed to be GODS are just stupid or childish, what a nonsense ! Sorry, I can't take it. Characters are just cliché and I can't see any interest in the story which seems very stereotypal to me.
Further more, I had great expectations with the lead actors but there is no chemistry between Xu Kai and Zhou Dong Yu whose characters are meant to be in love.
Xu Kai's acting is terrible in here, no great acting at all ! Being handsome isn't enough.... Storyline and characters are just ridiculous. Zhou Dong Yu is doing a good job though, how can we explain this ?!
Settings and outfits are rather nice, the OST is not bad : those are the onlly positive points I can see.
This drama is really overrated !
Forget about it !

I didn't dislike this drama, really, I didn't. I actually found the sweet romance to be adorable to watch, but switching from sweet cute romantic comedy to dark murdering killer scenes was just too much for me to comfortably enjoy on my couch in the evening...And honestly, the bad guy was just frickin creepy...
When the scenes switched to the bad guy, I got such Criminal Minds vibes (that spooky thriller bad omen vibes) that I'd be too spooked to sleep comfortably. I'm a pretty big wimp though, so maybe my interpretation of how spooky and scary the bad guy was is just me...
BUT, something else I found jarring was how the romantic comedy was very slap-stick in nature, and then it would switch to the bad guy and it was very dark and scary....the abrupt switching between both extremes of those genre's just didn't smoothly blend and transition to be in one drama. I think if the bad guy scenes were less creepy and dark, I'd find the drama less unbalanced.
Overall, I did like the romantic comedy aspects, but inevitably, I dropped this drama because the scary scenes were just too outside my comfort zones for me to enjoy this drama in its entirety. You might find this drama fitting to your own preferences though, so I don't think it'd hurt to try starting and see if it's something you enjoy.

I'm so done with C-Romance-Dramas

All in all a really decent show. Amazing OST, great acting all around, nice intriguing story but these retards just can't get the romance right.

I don't know what it is, is it a subtle feminist propaganda or what but it seems that the women are exempt from all responsibility when it comes to romance. Yun Xiang betrays his friends, he apologizes, but when she betrays him, the creators are close to making him getting on his knees and apologizing to her. What happened to common sense?

So done with this drivel and this propaganda that is tearing apart the western world. Such a shame it found its way into east as well. Or maybe it's always been there and I'm just more sensitive to it now.

I mean it goes both ways but seems to be more slanted towards women.

Over the top

After watching DoctorX I decided to give Code Blue a shot. (preface by no means I am saying DoctorX is the greatest thing since slice bread) I've watched Japanese Dramas for a LONG time and really didn't see the appeal after watching the first ep. of Code Blue other than fan service- Notice how none of the reviews have "beware spoilers" or "I really love the tension between X and Y on the team" because it simply does not develop (not enough to be memorable) . The show is pretty much medical rescue pRon and fan service and if you are into that well, understood.

JDramas can be over the top, but this has a different over the top energy. I feel many people love this drama because of Yamashita and Toda or maybe medical is a common field pursed now specially in SE Asia. I am familiar with a lot of the cast from other shows, but in my opinion, Code blue does not bring out the main leads best talent (there roles were not believable) and is over shadowed by the supporting actors who are vets. Maybe the drama is more for a female audience (well so is DocX), and I am simply not the target audience. The show is "action" boring and introduces too many characters in the beginning with the typical "lets expose everyone's weakness" . The music in the show has a "superman hero" like vibe to it which is kinda "cringy" Apparently, there is no romantic interest and the dialogue outside the "medical action" is a SNORE. If one was to remove the medical scenes the dialogue among the actors would be soul sucking and melodramatic, If we were to plug in 4 different leads of the same caliber into Code Blue it would probably push out the same results. Very low chemistry among the actors - . If you like Greg's Anatomy this might be a show for you.

Film is 34 here. His play"boy" here is a bit aging... He does a lot of running after all the women. Looks a bit tired, actually.

Jean Gaewalin is 26 here. Her character is supposed to be "special" woman for the aging playboy. Not that she behaves unlike everyone else. Then after one still kiss with eyes open, she is hooked: it was her first kiss, because she spent all her previous life watching korean series, apparently.

First few episodes, we watch Film's character trying to keep it going with 3 girlfriends at the same time, putting lot of time, effort and financials in. Not to mention energy (he looks positively exhausted at times). Girlfriend number 3 is supposed to be Jean Gaewalin's character, of course. He is currently just courting her, but already counting her in:)

I felt tired with this after first 5 episodes. I just don't like Film in a comedy. He started aging already and there's no way he'd interest me as a pra'ek if it's not made really romantic. Him fooling around like a bufoon cannot make him attractive. Also for Jean Gaewalin it's a pitty they cast her in so many crazy comedies. She makes georgeous nang'ek.

Dropped during episode 7.

A great romcom with perfect casting

I've been counting the days for this drama to be released! Ever since I read the webtoon, I was hooked and have been on the hunt for a romcom that would capture that same magic. When I heard about this adaptation, I had a strong feeling it was going to be a hit. And I was right! Every scene is packed with those swoon-worthy moments that give you all the feels, and there's this constant bubbly energy that keeps you smiling from ear to ear. The dynamic between Haena's playful quirks and Seowon's laid-back attitude is just the combo we needed. I know there were some whispers about Cha Eunwoo diving into yet another tsundere character, but Seowon breaks that mold. He's not the typical cold guy; Eunwoo has portrayed him with a gentle shyness that's simply endearing. The anticipation for the next episode is real!

The worst kdrama, those who gave ratings of10 ....WHY?

I read one of the reviews that says the ugliest 4 leading actors and I agree 101% . Where did they come from?

And the lead girl, the most irritating role ever....I think I’ve seen her before and she was good....I guess in this series, the screenplay or the direction is the problem. The funny thing though, what I like here in MyDramaList are the comments....that entertains me more....I read almost all the comments of those who gave it love score....to the point. My question is for those who gave it 10’s..... shaking my head really hard...... I almost get a whiplash

I gave it a try because of the 8.4 review.....big fat lie....caution .....don’t believe......drop drop drop .....if I can rate it zero....but I can’t submit unless I give a number....bummer

Maybe you all will not believe I gave all a round perfect star for story, cast, music etc.
It just such a long long long time South Korea did a pure one on those genre, based on child which happend only on big screen like the one Bae Doona eonni took. Just on story itself this drama did ensure their winning, all character have their own past base story which made them do like that, even I who usually get whose the criminal and plotline did lost because their are tons of possibility that happend in here.

The cast from Kim Sunah who get a title of queen of romcom from her previous drama with Hyunbin (My lovely Sam Soon) did a pure genre of these thriller, criminal, etc which drained the actor energy to potray the character, which maybe she did train in Woman's Dignity. Our Lee Yikyung first male lead role *congratulation(if you ruled out Yoo Mi's Room) after countles of supporting character like bully student in School 2013 (our Woobin and Jongsuk oppa deul), young version in Nine, You, Who came from star as the killer's secretary, and Descendant of Sun as contractor worker which made him into a stardome limelight. Nam Gyuri (49days) and N which his acting become more and more better even leap into B class actor after the disaster Sassy Go Go even when the story was good. More of it all the children actor and actress sure did a very good job (cant wait for them grow up like Nam Dareum and do pick a lot of good pieces in drama and movie or another job in variety or such) It make us believe the PD, Screenwriter did their homework for made a plausible story and casting a good actor which sync perfectly into their assigned roles.

Drama set, vehicle, even their costumes will not like your usual drama which a lot of kind ppl scene, this drama is 99,99% art drama. Not so glamorous, pricey (even the real one those are cost us for fasting in months).
Music too sure, keep us being creep as the msytery happen etc. Only a total detective and such will love this kind of story so for others who cant handle it should not watch it because it's not your pinky pinky love story and such plus bit of humour like in Son, The Guest, its total dark drama.

Slow paced

I like the story but it's so slow paced, like it was being intentionally dragged to make it to how many episodes. I wanted soo much to slap the male lead. He's the most slow in this story. Though I understand that's his character but his reaction to all especially regarding the female lead is just soo irritating. The love story between the emperor and her consort would've been more interesting than the ml and fl. I am more drawn to them their story has more development. Even the supporting couple was far more interesting than the leads.

They could've made this more fast paced or thrilling if they focus on the issue which is the war or the love story of the ml and fl. The story is again good but how it was delivered is sooo slow

Just make a separate drama with the mother in the lead, for God's sake!!

I have seen ridiculous importance given to mothers in Asian dramas - and you let it pass convincing yourself that it's a part of the culture.
But using a mother as a pivotal tool in determining the story is just a lazy or untalented screenplay.

However this drama transcends all boundaries of atrocity.
The mother in this drama is the lead and every other actor is playing a support role.

She is crude, tacky, greedy, atrocious......and this is not just the character written for the drama -it's her own overacting and portrayal that makes you want to cry "enough already!".

Of the 22 episodes I watched, I tried forwarding her scenes, but when you do that, the episode ends!!@#. That's how much screen time she's given!

The story itself had some possibility of being intriguing. There was absolutely no romance between the leads till ep.22 and honestly you don't care anymore!
Its all about maama.....

Wow.....glory be to motherhood in this country where she gets a lead role with two of the hottest stars.
Miserable waste of time 😒🥺

aaaaaa

I enjoyed watching this in general but therw are some things I don't like :(. First off, does SunJae actually commit after seeing Sol for the first time in years or is it Kim YoungSoo once again? I mean he sees his lifelong crush after so long, plus she looks happy so why would he do that? also I really don't like how everyone else forgot :(( like sunjae, inhyuk and taesoong's friendship was so nice to watch. it really saddens me honestly. overall, it was a good watch, and im saying this as a person who doesn't really watch time travel and supernatural shows and dramas
