Family Drama to the Extreme
I loved this soapy family drama. It reminded me of the Korean drama Penthouse, but only involving family. Everything that could happen to one family did including murder, rape, kidnapping and drugs. I don't watch alot of Thai dramas, but this one was pleasantly suprising. I would definitely watch this again when I'm looking for some mindless, soapy drama.Was this review helpful to you?

Just finished this drama and I feel a little disappointed with the plot development. The writing could've been little better and more logical. The plot is predictable where either lead has to be killed by the other. Ther wasn't anything new or unique. Only the soccer part was little fresh but not much emphasis was given to it.
The cast did their best, it's just that the story was lacking. It didn't have a strong start but towards the end it got engaging.The romance was decent, not the most compelling at first, but it improved towards the end.
I don't know why are people hating on Hye Yoon, she just did her best as Eun Ho and i don't think anyone could've been more suitable for this role. Talking about chemistry, it's just that the story direction wasn't strong enough to show intensity between the leads.
I would love if it had more episodes, and the plot could make more sense.
Things I feel could be added/improved-
* More focus on Kang Si Yeol making his local football team better after the switch and achieving success
* Geum Ho's ( eight tailed fox) romance with the member of Kang Si yeol's fc should have been shown
* Unnecessary 2 long leaps of 9 years
* There should have been more episodes to explain things better
* Purpose of Eun Ho's immortality and her deals with rich people
* What happens to Eun Ho when Kang Si Yeol died due to old age
Overall it was a little disappointing, the makers and story did injustice to such talented and gorgeous leads. I was excited since last year but this isn't what I expected
Also I hope people won't hate on the leads unnecessarily because they did well and don't compare their chemistry to leads in Lovely Runner because both have different plot and all dramas can't be the same. People need to understand this

Little did I know...
Well, first of all, story is nonexistent... İt's only a premise about a straight guy seeking help from a sex therapist, only to turn gay after having sex...
Well, in another show, I'd make a song and dance about it, because sexualities don't work that way.
But considering the 50 shades of positions they acted, I myself almost turn gay while watching ~~
Acting, was convincing, I didn't like the stoic face the therapist had all the time, not because of anything, but because it made me feel uncomfortable watching it, I understand it's part of the character personality but still, I was repulsed so I fast forwarded.
The ending for me was a bit vague, I don't understand the letter thing, and the last look the therapist gave the ML before leaving, what did it imply!? I was watching 3 episodes of uncomfortable sex to get a glimpse of something uncomprehended by the end. Did they want to show that something may happen between them? Because all I got was, the ML having 4 days of extreme sex to end up with depression and probably worse mental state than before.
I don't think this is supposed to be treated as a series, it's literally corn, so watch it if you feel hørny and want to watch some gay pørn or something ~~

Doesnt deserve such bad reviews
Hinestly shocked byt the reviews here!I thought this show was one of the funniest I've seen and i loved the whole cast.
Yes, there were some questionable/ wrong things, i definitely dint like the plot with ex and that other gay guy.
And the worst part for me is how Chon confessed, i honestly thought it will be a dream sequence because it was ridiculous. But it kept going and it took me way too long to accept that happen. It came out of nowehere.
Also show has some weird cuts, especially with music (the scene i was just talking about).
Im on ep 6 and will continue watching but ibwanted to leave one positive review in the sea of such bad ones.

“Two Episodes In… and I Was Done
Two episodes in and I was done. No jumpscares, no tension, nothing. Just mini stories that are supposed to be scary… but they end up provoking absolutely nothing. No context, no build-up, no impact. Just empty attempts at horror that never go anywhere or leave any impression at all. There’s no atmosphere, no structure, no reason to care about anything that happens, and without that, there’s simply no fearWas this review helpful to you?
Binjin forever❤️
Okay ,this story was amazing!the chemistry was off the charts in reel and in real!I watched this after their marriage but still you can tell the fans really saw signs way before the announcement!let the binjin couple aside(although we all love them),their characters were great!I loved the whole North Korean -South Korean plot!the gang of the Korean soldiers was really funny and the bromance was entertaining!son ye Jin looks like her character ,I could believe she is such a niceand kind diva in reality!and Hyun bin was portraying a character that is the ideal of many women (except the fact that he was North Korean maybe -so where can you meet him😅)and was quite serious and a man of few words(a bit like his real self)!!the second leads were ok to me but the chemistry of the first was quite intense for me so the comparison was imbalanced!a romance worth watching that looks a bit like Romeo and Juliet!perfetto!❤️ps :i don t know a single person that didn’t like this drama‼️

Absolute Masterpiece
this drama is a must to watchfrom the story to the music, the acting, everything is so good and beautiful to watch. we absolutely love all the characters. ML and SL do an amazing job, they have such a beautiful chemistry that we want this never ends. Even the end episodes dancing chore is great.
the music is really amazing. The one sang by Ho Min Hao be came one of my favorite songs that I listen out of the show. I rarely rewatch a drama twice but this one is really worth having a second view.

Sweet and short
This is the show that I have been looking for this whole time. It has everything: a strong female lead with a soul, a supportive and warm male lead, humor, and cute scenes. You won't find any cringy or iffy moments.CHARACTERS
All the characters are very realistic and diverse. Some might say that a few of them are over the top, but in my opinion, keep it in the believable zone. I especially enjoyed the backstories. They're a bit cliché; however, they make so much sense. Moreover, they're not just told to be told; they help the plot progress. We can see characters grow and bloom. What helps this development is communication. Something unheard of in most dramas. All characters act consistently and logically.
PLOT
Their love story is cute and mature. I loved every moment, even the clichés. The warmth it gives off, mixed with a bit of sadness and resolution to overcome all the problems, is just addictive. The biggest strength of this plot is how realistic it is. It's a story that might've happened. I didn't catch any plot holes nor see major problems in characters behavior that weren't pointed out in the show (eg. mental abuse). Every conflict and misunderstanding presented made sense. Not to mention the ending was pure perfection.
I don't have much to say about the technical side, as I never gave it much thought. So I'll keep it simple: great acting, enjoyable music, and pretty sets/shots.
I highly recommend it to every person that likes mature and romantic dramas.
My favorites for reference: Because This Is My First Life, When The Weather Is Fine, A Tale Of Thousand Stars.
Dislikes: Lovely Runner, Uncontrollably Fond, Fish Upon The Sky

Female Lead - Fan Changyu is working my last nerve!
I really like the drama and I'm all for women being strong. But Fan Changyu takes the cake for being so stubborn and ungrateful! Her husband (Xie Zheng) gives her everything but his left arm and she still manages to show no appreciation, a lack of loyalty and is downright dismissive towards him. I really don't like when they make the female leads so unlikable! Overall, I gave the show 9 rating because of Zhang Linghe and the other cast members. Please stop making female leads so insufferable.Was this review helpful to you?
Warm and witty
This is one of those shows that you come back to rewatch because it's just a warm place to relax for awhile. Each sister gets her turn at being the romance focus, and each story is given its share of attention, without rushing or skipping through obstacles. In fact, the obstacles serve to highlight the real strength of the story, and that is the supportive family bond among the women. I enjoyed seeing the women affirming each other's worth and ensuring each of the male leads knows what a gem he is getting as a spouse. I also appreciate how the sisters honor their mother and appreciate all she has done for them. I particularly enjoyed the playful scenes of the brothers-in-law banding together for mutual goals and for survival! (A special shout out for Wang Xingyue who played the first romantic lead with so much charisma and chemistry!) It stretches historical believability at times, but not enough to really disrupt the flow of the story. Overall it's a well-paced mix of romance and humor in beautiful costumes and sets.Was this review helpful to you?
what im looking for.
people are forgetting what friendship is, and only see any two close boys/girls as lover, so I'm glad we have this drama. it's so good and the friendship between Ling Dong and Lan Jing Hui is so beautiful.there is love and support and protect and physical contact and development and misunderstanding then reconciliation from both sides.
they started as enemies then become best friends and i like that. but what i liked more is that they became close befor remembering that they are childhood friends.
not only them, the friendship between all the roof group is heartwarming.

I cannot believe it's so highly rated
Hear me out: I like both leads as actors, and I enjoyed their performances in other romance shows in the past. I don't fault them for the show being not that great.I instead think the story was haphazardly thrown together and it harmed the show. I've seen worse shows that had me glued at the screen nonetheless. Here, I never felt any urge to watch the next episode...
Some people say "it's not that deep, it's just a silly romcom". I like silly romcoms. I've watched and enjoyed silly romcoms. That's not the issue. It was silly and goofy, sure. I just can't with the amount of "oops, I've fallen into your arms" bit, which I can endure/enjoy when it's not done 1 million times, with no real impact or purpose.
Some say the side characters are great. I'd agree for the most part, but also, a lot of them are under-developed, here to serve a very small purpose in the storyline, and could be erased from the rest of the show without really harming the continuity. So... Some of them are interesting, others are good comedic relief, but otherwise, a bit lacking.
The whole dramatic backstory was a big ol' bore, through and through. Couldn't wait for it to be done. And once it was resolve, all the "trauma" just disappeared from people's life, magically. Commit to it or don't do it at all. Because of the tone of the rest of the show, it also didn't feel as emotionally charged as it should. I was just annoyed every time it came up, and the acting surrounding the issue felt forced and sorta dumb. Yet, again, I know these actors can do so much better, but the material was just too weak imo.
If you're unsure after a few ep, do yourself a favor: drop it. It almost put me in a kdrama slump. Instead, my advice is to go look at pictures of the fashion from this show. That's the one thing they did that was really EXTREMELY well done (except maybe for one thing on the last ep, but I guess it's just not to my taste). The show could be a "corporate girlie inspo" pinterest board on its own.

The further you watch the more boring it is
First few episodes will draw you in but honestly, they wasted Mr. Gu character. They literally flushed him down the toilet. Producers had an idea how to start the story but they lost the plot later and the story collapsed. Such a disappointment. Nothing makes sense after few episodes. The characters go random directions without any reason or plan. I will definitely not watch it again. Such a waste of time. And because the review has to have at least 500 letters but I have nothing else to say about this series, I will keep typing until I reach the minimum.Was this review helpful to you?
