Mediocre/Médiocre

English:
This was an okay show. It was really short, so it felt a bit rushed at times, but it was okay overall. I liked the actor who played Tae Seong; he was attractive and good at acting. However, I didn't like the actor who played Hae Bom; he isn't attractive (in my opinion), and I think he could work a little on his acting skills. This show was based on a WEBTOON, and I think it was okay. I tried reading the WEBTOON, but I never ended up finishing it. Again, this show was okay, but I don't think I'll ever revisit it or rewatch it.

Français:
C'était une série correcte. C'était vraiment court, donc parfois ça semblait un peu précipité, mais dans l'ensemble c'était correct. J'ai bien aimé l'acteur qui jouait Tae Seong ; il était attirant et un bon acteur. Par contre, je n'ai pas aimé l'acteur qui jouait Hae Bom ; il n'est pas attirant (à mon avis), et je pense qu'il pourrait un peu travailler ses compétences d'acteur. Cette série était basée sur un WEBTOON, et je pense que c'était correct. J'ai essayé de lire le WEBTOON, mais je ne l'ai jamais terminé. Encore une fois, cette série était correcte, mais je ne pense pas que je la reverrai ou la regarderai à nouveau.

This was a cute drama!/C'était un drama mignon!

English:
I really liked this drama. I initially watched it because I saw clips of it on social media, so I was intrigued. I like the concept of the show, where Ha-ri had to conceal her identity to avoid being caught by the CEO, Tae-moo. I think that the acting in the show is very good from not only the 2 main leads but also the side couple as well. I like the romance as well as the one steamy scene (if you know, you know). At some points, I wish it trailed back to the side couple more, but overall this was a great drama. I love the actor Ahn Hyo-seop, so that was an added bonus when watching this show. I don't have an overwhelming urge to rewatch this show, but I do see myself watching it again in the future. Overall, great show and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Français:
J'ai vraiment aimé ce drama. Au départ, je l'ai regardé parce que j'avais vu des extraits sur les réseaux sociaux, donc ça m'a intrigué. J'aime le concept du show, où Ha-ri devait cacher son identité pour ne pas se faire attraper par le PDG, Tae-moo. Je trouve que le jeu d'acteur est vraiment bon, non seulement pour les deux protagonistes principaux, mais aussi pour le couple secondaire. J'aime la romance ainsi qu'une scène chaude en particulier (si vous voyez, vous voyez). À certains moments, j'aurais aimé que l'histoire revienne un peu plus sur le couple secondaire, mais dans l'ensemble, c'était un super drama. J'adore l'acteur Ahn Hyo-seop, donc ça a été un bonus en regardant ce show. Je n'ai pas d'envie irrésistible de le revoir tout de suite, mais je me vois le regarder à nouveau dans le futur. Dans l'ensemble, super show et je le recommanderais définitivement à d'autres.

Complete waste of time/Perte de temps totale

English:
I DID NOT like this drama. I watched like 4 episodes and just could not continue. I was excited to watch it because I thought the concept of the plot was really interesting, but I was SEVERELY let down by the execution. The actors SUCK. I hate the main character, Po. He's ugly, he CANNOT act for the life of him, and I just did not want to see him act. The other main guy, Sasom, is also ugly as fuck. When he's "filming" his porno, he wears a mask that covers his eyes, and I thought "oh wait, he's actually attractive," but as soon as he takes that mask off, I was immediately like "oh fuck no". Sasom, who created the porno account, is actually an A-List celebrity in Thailand (in the series of course), and he uses the account to get away from the troubles in his idol life. He has a bodyguard, and the bodyguard is SIGNIFICANTLY more attractive than him, and I can't help but wonder why the fuck they cast the guy that plays Sasom instead of the actually attractive guy. Then, the best friend of Po is also SO MUCH more attractive than him, so I have NO IDEA why they didn't cast those two as the main couple. This is something that I will wonder about for the rest of my life. I do not like this drama; I will never revisit it or rewatch it. It's so difficult and painful to watch. The sex scenes are the only good part of this whole show, and obviously, they aren't long (it's not worth watching the show just to see the sex scenes, they're not even that good). HATED the show, HATED the main actors. Absolutely not.

Français:
JE N'ai PAS aimé ce drama. J'ai regardé genre 4 épisodes et je n'ai juste pas pu continuer. J'étais excité de le regarder parce que je pensais que le concept de l'intrigue était vraiment intéressant, mais j'ai été TOTALEMENT déçu par l'exécution. Les acteurs sont NULS. Je déteste le personnage principal, Po. Il est moche, il NE SAIT PAS DU TOUT jouer, et je n'avais tout simplement pas envie de le voir jouer. L'autre gars principal, Sasom, est aussi super moche. Quand il « filme » son porno, il porte un masque qui couvre ses yeux, et je me suis dit « oh attends, en fait il est attirant », mais dès qu'il enlève ce masque, j'étais direct genre « oh non bordel ». Sasom, qui a créé le compte porno, est en fait une célébrité de l'A-List en Thaïlande (dans la série bien sûr), et il utilise le compte pour échapper aux problèmes de sa vie d'idole. Il a un garde du corps, et le garde du corps est SIGNIFICATIVEMENT plus attirant que lui, et je ne peux pas m'empêcher de me demander pourquoi ils ont mis en vedette le gars qui joue Sasom au lieu de celui qui est véritablement attirant. Alors, le meilleur ami de Po est aussi TELLEMENT plus attirant que lui, donc je n’ai AUCUNE IDÉE pourquoi ils n’ont pas choisi ces deux-là comme couple principal. C’est quelque chose sur lequel je vais me poser des questions pour le reste de ma vie. Je n’aime pas ce drama ; je ne le reverrai jamais ni ne le regarderai à nouveau. C’est tellement difficile et douloureux à regarder. Les scènes de sexe sont la seule bonne partie de toute cette série, et évidemment, elles ne sont pas longues (ça ne vaut pas la peine de regarder la série juste pour voir les scènes de sexe, elles ne sont même pas si bien). J’AI DÉTESTÉ la série, J’AI DÉTESTÉ les acteurs principaux. Absolument pas.

Different from most Rom-coms out there!

I did not expect this to be this good, male lead is op but there's depth in his character and the story. relaxing story if you are Drama watcher for years. 😌
this couple have a great chemistry too.
there are some dragging crying scenes but that was ok , this couple makes that kinda thing goes away.
Kinda suprised this drama is good for anyone i think , there's is no main villain 😱
So in guk delivers the character Amazingly.

So if you haven't watched this you gotta watch this
Love this couple forever.❤️

Perfect Show For K-Drama Beginners

English:
I watched this K-Drama the year it was released, 2020, and I thought it was pretty good. I don't mind the lead actress, I think she's pretty. Her acting was okay, but the scenes with her crying were actually painful to watch. A lot of the romance aspects were really cliché, but it was cute at some points. Like when Ju Gyeong gets cake all over her face, and Suho uses his jacket to cover her is cute, though I did think it was a little cliché. Something that genuinely pissed me off was when Suho went to the US for years AND broke her heart. Seo Jun was there with Ju Gyeong through it all. Then, when Suho returns, Ju Gyeong just runs into Suho's arms AS IF HE DIDN'T BREAK HER HEART. Even though so many people love Suho and thought that he was so romantic and loving, I am Team Seo Jun. I was in 2020, I am now in 2026, and I always will be.
I think the overall acting in this show is alright. I think Hwang In-Yeop is a brilliant actor, and the scene with him crying in the stairwell (After letting Ju Gyeong go BECAUSE HE IS A LITERAL ANGEL), honestly broke my heart. I also watched "Family By Choice" starring Hwang In-Yeop, and I think he was amazing in that show as well. Moon Ka-Young is a decent actress; she has scenes that are good. However, the crying scenes? Wrap it up…. Also, the scenes with her "roaring" at Seo-jun? I CRINGED beyond belief (I know that it was the writers of the show that made her do that, but omg please never make any actor/actress EVER do that again). And Cha Eun Woo, he is a good actor, I'd say. The only other thing I've seen him in was "My ID is Gangnam Beauty, and to be completely honest, I don't think his acting was very good. I think that's because he was new to acting when he was shooting that show, but I'd say he improved with his performance in "True Beauty". Then, Park You-Na (Kang Su-Jin) is an amazing actress as well. I think she really played the part beautifully. I haven't seen her in any other show, but if I watch a drama and find out she's in it, I already know she's going to do an amazing job.
Overall, I think this was a good show. If someone were new to K-Dramas and needed a show recommendation, I would recommend this show to them. I love Han Seo-Jun and will forever wish that he got the happy ending that he deserves.

SIDENOTE: The song "Starlight" (Sung by Chani from SF9) in the show is so good, I have added it to my playlist. I loved it so so much, and when Seo-Jun sang it in remembrance of his deceased friend, I got emotional. It was an amazing scene, I loved it.

Français:
J'ai regardé ce K-Drama l'année de sa sortie, en 2020, et j'ai trouvé ça plutôt bien. L'actrice principale ne me dérange pas, je la trouve jolie. Son jeu d'acteur était correct, mais les scènes où elle pleure étaient vraiment douloureuses à regarder. Beaucoup d'aspects romantiques étaient vraiment clichés, mais c'était mignon à certains moments. Comme quand Ju Gyeong a du gâteau sur tout le visage, et que Suho utilise sa veste pour la couvrir, c'est mignon, même si je trouvais ça un peu cliché. Ce qui m'a vraiment énervé, c'est que Suho est parti aux États-Unis pendant des années ET lui a brisé le cœur. Seo Jun était là pour Ju Gyeong à chaque étape. Puis, quand Suho revient, Ju Gyeong se jette juste dans les bras de Suho COMME S'IL NE L'AVAIT PAS BLESSÉE. Même si beaucoup de gens aiment Suho et pensent qu'il est si romantique et attentionné, moi, je suis équipe Seo Jun. J'étais là en 2020, je suis là en 2026, et je le serai toujours. Je pense que le jeu global des acteurs dans cette série est correct. Je pense que Hwang In-Yeop est un acteur brillant, et la scène où il pleure dans la cage d'escalier (après avoir laissé Ju Gyeong partir PARCE QU'IL EST LITTÉRALEMENT UN ANGE), honnêtement, ça m'a brisé le cœur. J'ai aussi regardé "Family By Choice" avec Hwang In-Yeop, et je trouve qu'il était incroyable dans ce show aussi. Moon Ka-Young est une actrice correcte ; elle a des scènes qui sont bonnes. Cependant, les scènes où elle pleure ? Faut arrêter…. Et les scènes où elle "rugit" contre Seo-jun ? J'AI HURLÉ intérieurement de gêne (je sais que ce sont les scénaristes de la série qui l'ont fait agir ainsi, mais omg, ne faites JAMAIS ça à aucun acteur ou actrice). Et Cha Eun Woo, c'est un bon acteur, je dirais. La seule autre chose que j'ai vue lui faire était dans "My ID is Gangnam Beauty", et pour être complètement honnête, je ne pense pas que son jeu d'acteur y ait été très bon. Je pense que c'est parce qu'il était nouveau dans le métier quand il a tourné cette série, mais je dirais qu'il s'est amélioré avec sa performance dans "True Beauty". Ensuite, Park You-Na (Kang Su-Jin) est une actrice incroyable également. Je pense qu'elle a vraiment joué le rôle magnifiquement. Je ne l'ai vue dans aucun autre show, mais si je regarde un drama et que je découvre qu'elle y est, je sais déjà qu'elle va faire un travail incroyable.
Dans l'ensemble, je pense que c'était un bon show. Si quelqu'un était nouveau dans les K-Dramas et avait besoin d'une recommandation, je lui recommanderais ce show. J'adore Han Seo-Jun et je souhaiterai toujours qu'il ait la fin heureuse qu'il mérite.

PETITE NOTE : La chanson « Starlight » (chantée par Chani de SF9) dans le show est tellement bien que je l'ai ajoutée à ma playlist. Je l'ai tellement adorée, et quand Seo-Jun l'a chantée en mémoire de son ami décédé, j'ai été ému. C'était une scène incroyable, je l'ai adorée.

When the supporting characters make you want to avoid this drama

I watched this because of Wang Churan and to be honest there is no romance chemistry between her and Tan Jianci but i quite enjoy their banter even they dragged their story for too long and decided to give the screentime to unnecessary characters especially Jung Cheng mother. The main couple should have more screentime since their story was quite left hanged due the unimportant characters. The plot has no innovative since it's from rom-con and i don't really care about bad AI editing for beginning of the drama. I quite enjoy the episode 1-12 but the dragged and unnecessary characters really kill my mood for watching this. They make Qian Fei character seems illogical person while he was told by premises as smart analyst (he was smart but the writing of scriptwriter was quite mess). Liu Yifei was quite okay but not memorable for Wang Churan character that i watch, she was in between bad character and good character. It was quite bitter for me since i quite enjoy Wang Churan drama but the supporting casts story was really letdown for this drama.

Wont recommend and rewatch this except the main lead parts.

It's feels like oasis on chinese long drama

I watched this solely because of Chen Jingke and Youth theme. I have no issue with Esther Yu but some of her dramas that i watched were not my cup of tea and her voiceover was quite okay though and she has clear pronunciation. If you are seeing sports theme drama with slice of mystery with sprinkle of Comedy , Road to Success is one of kind in long drama. If you have another same theme, let me know so i can watch. The chemistry between Lin Wangxing and her students were quite cute. I quite enjoy the romance even it was minimal but the dynamic between Wang Fa and Lin Wangxing are amusing.

The ending was quite perfect and i recommended this drama for J-Drama enjoyer who loves youth drama.

Friendship Goals

It was so heartwarming to see how comfortable everyone were together, and the teasing and bickering amongst them was a lot of fun to watch. Sometimes, people who doesn't have close friendships in their lives will mistake light teasing as disrespect, when in reality, it's just closeness and an understanding that there's no malice in teasing.

The quizes in in ep 2 had me worked up and competing along with them. I laughed so hard at how competitive everyone was, yet the introverted ones were adorable with their quibs as well.

I really hope to see more of them together in the future.

This is a REALLY good K-Drama/C'est un drama coréen VRAIMENT bon

English:
I watched the whole show in 2 days. I loved this show so much. There were so many moments that made me giddy and happy. I love the concept behind the show, which is one of the main reasons why I started watching it. The main thing that hooked me was the acting. I think the acting in this show is brilliant. Every single actor/actress was amazing. The chemistry in some scenes and the tension in others really show how talented the whole cast is. There were scenes that made me laugh, and some scenes that made me tear up a little. That shows the diversity and complexity of this show, and why it's so good. This is definitely a new comfort show, and I will definitely be revisiting this show at some point in the future!

Français:
J'ai regardé toute la série en 2 jours. J'ai tellement adoré cette série. Il y avait tellement de moments qui m'ont rendu euphorique et heureux. J'adore le concept derrière la série, c'est d'ailleurs l'une des principales raisons pour lesquelles j'ai commencé à la regarder. Ce qui m'a vraiment accroché, c'était le jeu d'acteur. Je trouve que le jeu d'acteur dans cette série est brillant. Chaque acteur/actrice était incroyable. La chimie dans certaines scènes et la tension dans d'autres montrent vraiment à quel point tout le casting est talentueux. Il y avait des scènes qui m'ont fait rire, et certaines qui m'ont un peu ému. Ça montre la diversité et la complexité de cette série, et pourquoi elle est si bonne. C'est définitivement une nouvelle série réconfortante, et je reviendrai certainement la regarder à un moment donné dans le futur!

Can't believe that it took me this long to finally watch this movie fully; like I've seen bits of this movie as well as bits of the original when I was younger, but never completely.

I have to agree that this movie was one of the best movie that Jet LI had produced and it was sad that initially, this movie didn't quite gain popularity when it was initially released.

For a remake of the original Fist of Fury this movie was very well made. I love how multi-lingual this movie was, considering that the setting involved scenes set in Japan and China and involving the said people in either country. The dubbing works was also very well made that unless you have a very good ear you won't really notice the difference.

The fight choreography in this movie was also very well done. And I have to say that Jet Li was one of the very few martial artists who could really emulate a similar fighting style as Bruce Lee without making it look too silly.

Getting better each episode's, but flop in the end of episode.

The plot are quite good for comedy drama, but at the same time are too serious. The story are getting better each episode's, however the footballer's inner soul journey isn't treated very seriously, it only appears in the last 2 episodes. There is no visible character development, and as if by magic he suddenly becomes an expert in the blink of an eye.

The ending was very unclear and felt forced, likely due to the 12-episode limit. The time skip felt overly contrived, and the villains didn't receive a fitting comeuppance. What's even funnier is why ML's soul was swapped again, so he will continue to suffer from exchanging souls without showing his true soul, what a joke.

just don't waste your time!!

I usually never leave a review but wtf did I just watch... first 2 eps it was mahh kinda okayish but from there it went down hell...the story itself is so weak there was basically no plot to begin with they just kept dragging the story and filling it up with nonsense and a bit of okay nc scenes .. I specially hated the background music in the nc scenes even though the scenes itself weren't bad.... I was surprised that the actors themselves had a better chemistry in bed than in conversations lol...... I liked the second couple A bit although that kpop Idol was Woden and didn't act properly in any given scene but at some point I was just looking for a reason to continue watching the show and oh boy they served me none .

Build up ↗️

I started watching after reading that it would be similar to hometown cha cha cha.
To me it was quite different in many ways. And at first it was almost one to drop for me. The first few episodes are a bit plain and uneventful, the story seems to take too long to develop and the scandal bit could have taken less space. Then it slowly picks up, to the point one thinks I'll give it a go it's OK. The plot starts to gain depth and structure. By episode 10-11 it starts becoming a must watch and also the ending is better than many other dramas. It would deserve a higher ranking if it wasn't for the slow start.The ML's father was a bit too much for my liking, making it feel unrealistic when he finally snaps out of it. I also don't personally like the storyline between ex, but obviously in this case it made sense a lot of sense. Basically they were really halves of the same apple. Lovely ending sentence. Such a profound message conveyed in an unpretentious way. So my final advice is hang in there through the slow first few episodes and thank ne at the end 😝
