so good! loved all the actors and actresses! i tried watching this once before but because i dont care too much for these time of dramas with realms and gods, i cut it off at episode 5. but omg when i went back i was hooked and finished in a week! the story line is amazing and will have you laughing and crying throughout. i usually dont like yang mi but she was great in this drama. not to mention three of my faves from PLZ (Pretty Li Hui Zheng ?????? were in this drama as well. I LOVED the main cast's chemistry as well as the other relationship between ??? and ????. i feel like though the ending was a little rushed but all in all wonderful drama.

A cute drama takes its stab at modern relationships. Though I only read the first few chapters of the original manga, the drama kinda misses the mark with the tone of this story. I wanted someone different to play the lead protagonist ... I felt flumpool's Yamamura Ryuta was a little too cute and green to play Namami Ryu. Also, the drama has a pretty rushed pacing and what loses out is the lead couple's chemistry. Throughout the drama, I kept asking myself why is the female protagonist still getting jerked around by the moody, confidence lacking coward ... That being said ... the last two episodes surprisingly spoke to me. This drama was okay, just okay.

This drama has a unique and refreshing plot I suggest you guys give it a try! I was hesitating to watch this drama at first because it was a web drama, but the story and the events that happened justified itself very well so job well done writer-nims! Also upon hearing the controversys that went on kpop news sites, it made myself think its not worth the watch but I'm glad I gave this a chance!

As for the acting, Suho and the female lead were great in their roles. Suho suits the role of a famous singer, who's heart just became cold to things as he lived a boring life. Suho looks mature enough and is cold and rich enough for the role :D Suho is not my bias in EXO but he was so handsome and flawless in this drama that I might swerve into stanning him soon. He definitely has a talent in acting but he needs to work on it more. I also like the idea how they chose the female lead character someone not as famous but is great at acting and would complement Suho.

the OST is just so good as well plus they were original!

if you are looking for a short fluffy and romantic, with slight melo themed story this is highly recommended for you!! :)

I was desperately trying to find time to finish this drama after watching it from the beginning when it first started to air, well because I just fell out of it. The first couple of episodes were really promising and interesting, but the further the series progressed, the more dragged the story went. I'm glad that the creators decided to kind of "revive" the series in the last episodes because they were really powerful and a put a great end to the story.

This drama has become one of my favorites not because of the storyline or the idea of time traveling, but because of the unique little components of the whole drama. For example, you can't deny the chemistry between the leads Ma Rin and So Joon. I found myself smiling like crazy when I saw them together being all lovey-dovey. They're both really talented actors for sure. Furthermore, I admire really soft tones and colors when it comes to the filmography. The filming and editing crew did a spectacular job of capturing the most beautiful shots of the drama. And you can't forget the OST. It really made the drama emotional and translated the overall feelings of the characters.

In conclusion, this is definitely a different type of series when it comes to the whole Korean Drama world. I've never seen such a spectacularly filmed series, not to mention the talented actors and the musicians behind the songs. Give it a go if you want to watch something a bit more heavier, but with plenty of cute scenes!

I loved Introverted Boss (a.k.a. My Shy Boss). While no one element of the show is perfectly done, there are a couple reasons I consider this a 9/10 drama:

1. The quirky characters! I really enjoyed each character's unique & extreme personalities. I think the casting was great, and the chemistry between characters (romantic and non-romantic) was entertaining.

2. The laughter. I thought this show was hilarious, as I said before, the characters are very quirky, so when they interact with each other hilarity ensues.

3. The plot. I would say the main four themes of this drama are: 1. Working through trauma 2. Getting to know people (vs. assuming and judging) 3. Becoming comfortable in your own skin 4. Family doesn't have to be blood related. In other words, this is mainly a feel-good drama. It takes everyday life, throws tragedy in the mix, and lets you watch characters' various responses.

4. The adorable, and, of course, complicated, romantic relationships between characters. Usually, once characters in a drama become a couple, the romantic tension is lost and the drama becomes less interesting (depending on how much the drama relied on the relationship to propel the drama). I thought Introverted Boss did a good job keeping the drama interesting after the romantic tension was lost.

5 reasons why this might NOT be the drama for you:
1. No action, few suspense scenes
2. You won't see character development in every character, and the character development in some characters is minor
3. You might find the plot repetitive or boring/uncompelling
4. If you dislike lots of cute, romantic scenes
5. The quirky characters may seem annoying

Hope my review helps you decide if this drama is for you! :)

STORY: An illiterate and uneducated young man becomes mayor of a province because the position was bought for him. Now he must overcome his humble background and learn to navigate court life. Also his position requires him to act as a judge. The setting is in China's past. This show has a lot of things you would see a drama about court life: intrigue, gossip, backstabbing, evil plots, etc. This also showcases many conversations of people speaking politely with each other but their words are a double-edged sword. There is a bromance between TaoMo and GuShe that lasts the entire series.

SIDE NOTE: Been watching the English Sub, YouTube, 1080p, approx 30 minutes per episode, translated by Yzd_International_Fanclub, thanks guys!

ACTING/CAST: This is quite an attractive cast, and they play their parts very well.

MUSIC: Very good throughout the series.

REWATCH VALUE: Yup.

OVERALL: I'm am AMAZED at the production value of this! The set design and costume design are A+. It's a gorgeous production. I can't wait to watch more!

I gave a 10 to all. You might think I'm biased but I don't usually give reviews to every dramas I watch. But this drama is very exceptional. It's not like the dramas I watch although the plot is similar to others. The way they executed it in solving the conflict here was different. I thought there would be romance between the Chief Kim and Ha Gyung but I'm sorry to say, there wasn't. But that wasn't a big deal because every episode, you'll laugh so hard. It was like a medicine if you're down or something.

I definitely recommend you all to watch this. You'll not regret because this drama is truly amazing.

This was a really cute drama that I liked much more than I expected to. I avoided watching it for a while because I'm not a big fan of hospital dramas, so it has been on my "plan to watch list" for a long time. I'm also not a huge fan of divorce plots, since divorce isn't such a stigma where I am from, so the shame of divorce gets really old for me quick. Despite these two things, what kept me watching was the romance. The romance may be cliché, but it is done well. That has a lot to do with the cast.

It took a little while for Choi Jin Hyuk and Song Ji Hyo to grow on me, but once they did I loved their banter and chemistry. Like most divorce plots, there is a lot of pettiness, jealousy, and bickering, with some cute moments thrown in too. There's also a healthy dose of second lead syndrome thanks to Lee Pil Mo, who I totally empathized with and rooted for. Then Choi Yeo Jin adds to this great love triangle while not playing into the stereotypical role that's expected, and being the most likable of the four for me.

The supporting cast is great too. The emergency room staff was entertaining, and had interesting backstories and plots of their own. The patient stories also weren't too annoying, which it my pet peeve with these type of dramas. Some situations were a little over the top, but most were interesting, and I liked watching the characters work through solving the emergencies they were faced with, especially with their personal tension. However, even with all of this, the plot is super basic, and I just couldn't give it more than a mediocre score.

This drama is long, 21 episodes, and although I was never bored, the story didn't really justify that many episodes. One thing that I did hate was how things were so drawn out, and how many flashbacks happened in every single episode. A scene would end and then literally repeat, or the same scene would be repeated over and over again. It felt a little like deja vu while watching. Then literal actions would seem to happen in slow motion, and maybe that was a choice to add to the suspense of the moment, but it just felt like a way to waste time. Also beware of fantasy scenes, some were hilarious, but they also felt like time fillers.

The music was Ok, but I can barely remember any of the songs, which isn't a good sign.

Overall I'm glad I finally watched this drama, and it was an easy one to binge through while waiting for currently airing dramas to air new episode (watching took me about 4 days... so perfect!). The rewatch score is pretty high, because of the characters, but I doubt I would watch it so many times like others have claimed.

At the end I really felt like I went on a journey with these characters, and the ending was a nice way of implying what would happen in the future without feeling like a sequel was necessary, or that things were left unresolved.

I would definitely recommend this as a binge-worthy rom com, that exceeded my expectations. If it's been lingering on your plan to watch list too, maybe it's time to finally upgrade it to "currently watching".

Ooooo you sneaky writers you!
Lol
This movie....is really good! The ending is amazing and I don't feel like it was rushed or not thought through. It seems shorter than it really is (1 hr 51) but that isn't a bad thing because it is quite straight to the point.
Didn't expect to cry but I sure as hell did at the end. The story is about a man suffering from depression that wants to die but can't because a group of ghosts won't let him, so he tries to get rid of them by fulfilling their wishes whilst a budding romance develops. I refuse to divulge too much because I want you to be as suprised as I was.
I hadn't really read any reviews but I just kept seeing that it was highly rated so I thought I'd give it a watch and I am pleased that I did. There is comedy and tragedy but the message of the movie makes sense at the end. 'You are not alone'. All characters (even the love interest's brother) were integral to the movie and played a part. For once I didn't really notice the music and that is saying something cos I love a good soundtrack lol, so that could just mean I was really engrossed in the movie.
This is a definite rewatch because I want to see the faces of people when they get to the end and think 'Oh Wow!' lol.

So yeah....please watch....***warning""" it is not really a comedy so prepare tissues, hankies, pillows lol cos there will be tears. That's all I can give.
