Can the cast ever star in a drama together??

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!
An amazing show , If i have to say anything i would say its a must watch show
Where else will we find this cast together??

Every episode has it own speciality. But my fav was ep 5
I couldn't control my laughter during the whole 8 eps

I liked the team magic [Because of chang wook and in youp] and team moonlight [Soo bin, jinyoung , yoo jung , bo gum , dong yeon] .[ Bo gum was the show stealer]. : ]

But the other team was also greeeaaat.
I wish it never ended : [
And i wish that there should be a second season <3

I ENJOYED IT

The drama wasn't as bad as I thpught it would be. Yes, the storyline is a typical revenge-fall in love drama but that's my type of drama anyways. I really like tge plot and the acting, everyone's acting was amazing and fit ever characters. However, I would have to say it drag a bit in the middle and I kinda lost interest mid way but I got back to it after all the episodes was out. There are some scenes or situations that was very unnecessary to the storyline, other thab that the drama was very entertaining.

A little warning: lots of slap/kiss, force kiss and misunderstanding between the main characters.

Interesting concept, but...

[Disclaimer]: this review is based on my personal opinion of the film.

The concept of the film was definitely interesting and I was looking forward to watching it, when I finally got into the mood for a movie of this kind. However I do have to say I was slightly disappointed with how the story turned out. The opened ending was nice and somewhat unexpected but I do think it could have been handled a little differently.

The acting of the main characters was 10/10, though. Emotions they were portraying felt real and it sucked me into the world of the film along with the cinematography and production design. Visually, the film was really good.

Unfortunately, this film has zero rewatch value for me. There was nothing left untold for me that would require me to come back to, or an scene that I would wish to see again. The sound design wasn't too memorable for me either.

In the end, I think this film is worth watching for people, who like this genre but it's not going to be on the top of my list for movies I've watched, sadly.

terrific story well scripted, wonderful cinematography. A must watch.

I only failed to give it 10/10 because some of the music was a little strange for me. The whole crew have done such a brilliant job on this C Drama. I have watched a few but this one seems to me to be a stand out one.
The F/L portrayal of her character was brilliant. A traumatised child with huge distrust of adults, with very little warmth in her life. I felt really sad for her. It was lovely to see her grow from a sad beginning to become a beautiful warm but certainly strong woman.
The M/L portrayal of his character i felt, is outstanding. The predominant dark side, the anger and resentment of the people who had betrayed his family was so strong you could see it, feel it. Wow. The eyes have it. The controlled anger in his voice.
My other stand out actor was the Emperor, he balanced out the dark side with humour, love and compassion.
The Mother 's story was sad, how did she expect that punishment was the way forward to heal her child. The actress was so good. only realising much later that love and not fierce discipline was the way to go.
Infact i don't think you could criticise any of the actors even the minor roles were acted so well. i really really enjoyed it.
Sometimes the subtitles were a little strange, but then again, i don't speak any other languages, except for hello, goodbye, thank you and to do my grocery shopping. i can do that in a few languages. Nonetheless it did not spoil my enjoyment of this series.
Will i watch it again, i have, when i need to escape from my life for a little while, i will pick out one or two episodes depending on my mood and rewatch them. But i have to say i have watched all of it a couple of times. i expect i will again. I am quite old so i have the time.
Many thanks for all the efforts from the actors, and crew, screenwriters, director, in fact everyone involved in the production of this outstanding C Drama.

The Story, the Acting and their CHEMISTRY !!!

This was so good. Like REALLY REALLY GOOD. From the first episode to the last, the story was consistent, i never got bored watching every single episode. The cast did so well, not only the main characters but each and every single character potrayed their roles so well. Even though the story is focused on the leads, but you get to know the bus passengers stories too.

The story was so INTENSE, this is one of those stories that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The main characters were so into their roles, they showed their emotions perfectly that you also feel what they felt. The ML did a good job as someone who got pulled into something he never expected, you felt his anxiousness throughout out the drama. The FL did a good job showing her emotions, when she cried you felt her struggles too.

Last but not least, their chemistry was INSANE!!! they went from strangers, to people who literally depended on each other. They put their trust into each other in every single loop they experience. Their growing affection to each other was so beautiful to watch and finally them going through life and death together makes every single person root for them.

I give this a 10/10. It was a good watch.

Time after time

This turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I watched the first episode and it was super interesting. The plot kicks in immediately and there is not even one boring moment.
The ending is happy which is satisfying. After getting blown up so many times and struggling to survive, it would be sad and disappointing that they died.

Thing's I liked
- The way the main characters learned from their mistakes. They would mess something up and then fix it in the next loop.
- Main characters being smart, they made plans and tried all kinds of different things to end the loop.
- Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun being cute and brave many times.
- Episode 8 was something else, it was shocking but really good.
- The characters, everyone had their time to shine.
- Old Zhang, he was my favorite character. He listened and observed everything without jumping to conclusions.
- Ludi, he was an unexpected character, I wish we saw more of him. He was really excited to be in a time loop and that was fun to watch because characters mostly don't believe in time loops.
- The mystery of why the bus explodes.

Overall, a great story with great characters.

Soundtrack No 2 as in less good than Soundtrack No 1

This was a short yet inconsistent drama in form of pace and the ability to keep my attention.

The chemistry between the three leads is kind of off, the romance feels meeh... and I kept thinking to myself she is probably better off single than with a guy who clearly does not understand her at all.

That said I liked the female lead quite a bit for being human, fun and showing a range of emotions done well, however the other characters just fell short both in lovabilaty for the character and also in terms of delivery of lines.

The music is kind of sweet, the shots go between "oh this is pretty" to "oh I feel dizzy"

An okay watch bit not so much more...

Real Clothes, clothing defines the women, but in this case clothing defines the drama.
You are introduced to a lady with zero fashion sense whatsoever named Kinue and a fashion icon named Miki who goes to a department store in Japan to bring it back up. Miki asks for Kinue with no experience in clothing to suddenly work in the Women clothing department forming a story of discovering one's true self.
The story basically is how Kinue becomes a fashionista and discovers passion working in fashion. Work is first priority in this drama and love doesn't even come second as the schedule is hetic for the everyday employee. People interested in fashion or have high strong work ethic will enjoy this story to the fullest and with it's occasionally funny moments laugh their ass off.
The cast is great especially the main actress Karina and Kuroki Hitomi who blend perfectly together. Their acting is fantastic and supports each other full heartily.The supporting cast doesn't falter and give this show it's stronghold.
Background music matches this drama perfectly. It's very up beat and sounds like something you wold hear off a runway. Overall, I enjoyed this drama and I feel most people will too.

I finished this drama a year ago, so I don't really remember much, but I have to say that it is a good drama. I discovered this drama out of now where because I was looking for a Chinese drama to watch, and so I found this and started watch it. And omg I was so glad I did because this is a really good drama. I loved the costume, the fighting scene and just everything!


Story: I thought the story was good. Normally, Chinese drama storyline are always the same. So it was nice to see something different. If you are a fan of Wallace Huo, then you will enjoy this drama. He is a talented actor and so is Cecilia Liu. I thought the cases were interesting so I didn't feel that 30 episodes were long at all, because the case were interesting, but let me warn you some of the cases are 3-4 episodes long. But trust me, it worth your time.

Acting/Cast: I thought everyone did a great job with their role. I really hated Edwin Siu as the villian. He did a great job.



Music: I thought it was okay. There weren't much b/g or anything, but I like the theme song.


RewatchValue: The reason why I rated it a 8 because I wouldn't want to watch it again, then it will lost it meaning, but I would definitely in the future.


Overall: I feel that this drama was good even though it was kinda long, but like I said the case were interesting. So I didn't really mind it. I loved every bit of this drama. I like the bond between the four characters. All four of them are each different in the their own way. I think it's cool that they work together and help the poor( this is not spoiling you, but you want to know what I am talking about. Then go watch it now!).

I really enjoyed this little series. The acting was realistic, cute, even heartwarming at moments. The story was fine and basic, your average underdogs story with a little reverse harem. I love Hwang Seung Eon she is one of my favorite up and coming actresses. She nailed this role with all its emotion and sass. Song Jae Rim has definitely made it onto my 'nicest smile' and 'great on screen kisser' list. Their chemistry was really good.

The only problem I had with it was when the phrase 'I Love You' was thrown around. And then you realize the chracters are high school students and not college students. I went into thinking the actors and the characters age were similar, but I was wrong. There were also some moments where the acting was a little too much. Song Jae Rim has a tendency to yell while expressing anger and there were some moments where I think it wasn't necessary. Son Ho Young also had some awkward moments on screen but for the most part they both did well.

I wish they would have written the ending of this story differently. It was a let down compared to the rest of the story and probably the only reason this story didn't get a 10 out of me. Great, easy watch that I would recommend as a inbetween while your waiting for you favorite series to air.

As i am in a first week of quarantine I am looking for a different series, Korean show gets dark and complicated so navy times so I was checking out Japanese show.. not a fan due to some I’ve seen are lacking of emotions (maybe a cultural thing) anyway I saw this show with Satoh on it. Knowing him as Rorouni Kenshin I want to check out If he could do a different character, and boy! he’s surprisingly an amazing Sundere. The female lead is cute but I am taken aback on how young she looks compare to Sato. She have this typical Japanese female character, naive, clumsy, loud and got this confident stalker tendencies. I get second hand embarrassment but enjoy her sunny disposition in life. Character development is good and I like how Female Lead able to focus more on her career at the end.

Overall this series is your typical romantic comedy. Very funny and so romantic, Sato is such a heartrob. It’s A feel good show that you can easily watch over and over.

Great series, watched from the first season all the way through. Kept me interested and on my toes. Although having to sit through explanations of the "sure win" strategy that never work got to me a little, the fast pace, creative characters and overall setting kept me enticed. The psychological factor in this movie played a huge role in my decision to watch, and I am glad to say I was not dissapointed one single bit.

Akiyama, and his "enemies" all were very appealing but once again sitting through Kanzaki Nao's failures that made the "sure win plan" fail was painful. With Akiyama's quick and creative responses the pain was only short lived. A top 5 for sure.
