Too good that i can rewatch!
I binged it and it was sooo good. Loved how well paced it was. The chemistry between the leads was brilliant. Shin Hae-sun never disappoints, her acting felt so real. And Gong Myung was amazing too, his expressions were spot on. Loved every bit of it. Gutted it only had 12 episodes :(( it could've easily gone to 16.Was this review helpful to you?
A Strong Start with Stunning Cinematography (And Maybe a Little Shin Ye-eun Bias)
I’ve really enjoyed the start of Doctor on the Edge so far. The first episode does a great job balancing medical drama with a light romantic-comedy feel, and the island setting gives the series a refreshing atmosphere. The cinematography is especially beautiful—the coastal scenery and wide shots of the island add a lot of charm and make the drama feel warm and immersive.One thing I wasn’t completely sold on was the AI element. It felt a bit unnecessary and didn’t add much to the story for me. That said, just because I found that aspect unnecessary doesn’t mean the show is any less good. The heart of the drama is still its characters, relationships, and the small-community setting, and those elements are working well so far.
Lee Jae-wook is already convincing as Do Ji-ui, but I have to admit I may be a little biased when it comes to Shin Ye-eun. She’s one of the reasons I was excited for this drama in the first place, and her charm and screen presence immediately stand out as Yook Ha-ri. I’m looking forward to seeing more of her character as the story develops.
Overall, Doctor on the Edge is off to a strong start. It’s too early to judge the entire series, but the first episode has definitely made me want to keep watching.

Muy linda comedia romantica!
Seguime en @tuguiakdrmas en ig!Terminé *Amor bajo auditoría* y me encontré exactamente con lo que esperaba: una serie ligera, entretenida y con muchísimo encanto.
Aunque tiene romance, algo de misterio y bastante suspenso empresarial, para mí la comedia es claramente el corazón de la serie. Gran parte de su atractivo está en las interacciones entre los personajes y en una protagonista que rompe constantemente con las primeras impresiones.
La auditora interpretada por Shin Hye Sun llega a la empresa como un verdadero huracán. Parece dispuesta a llevarse a todo el mundo por delante, pero rápidamente descubrimos que detrás de esa fachada hay una persona profundamente respetuosa, leal y protectora con su equipo y con quienes quiere.
También me gustó el contraste entre los protagonistas. Mientras ella carga con una historia personal dura y una vida bastante solitaria, sin un entorno afectivo que la sostenga, el personaje de Gong Myung proviene de una familia cálida y amorosa, rodeado de hermanas y de vínculos que lo contienen. Esa diferencia les da una dinámica muy linda y divertida.
Otro detalle curioso es que la serie va desarrollando uno o dos casos de auditorías internas por episodio. En cierto sentido me recordó a *Seguro contra divorcios*: en ambas series vemos sentimientos y relaciones humanas analizados casi como si fueran casos de una empresa. Es una premisa rara, pero funciona sorprendentemente bien.
Y después está el suspenso corporativo, que mantiene el interés durante toda la historia, acompañado por un elenco muy sólido. Además, tenemos a nuestro amado Kim Jae Wook en un papel bastante más oscuro de lo habitual. Lo admito: extraño verlo en roles románticos, Kim Jae Wook.
¿Es una obra maestra? No.
¿Es una serie que cumple perfectamente con su objetivo de entretener? Absolutamente.
Tiene buen ritmo, personajes queribles, actores y actrices con muchísimo carisma, una banda sonora agradable y suficientes giros para que nunca se vuelva aburrida.
Y además nos regaló lo que probablemente sea uno de los mejores besos del año.

A calm drama to watch after a long day
This drama leaves a lot to de desired. It was disappointing to say the least, especially from an amazing actor like the ML. I was intrigued by the first few episodes, but by episode 4 it went down hill. The acting from the FM was very good, but the ML is very stiff and unemotional sometimes, I think by direction of writing, or director, because he can do so much better the that.The story was interesting, but I quickly lost interest. I didint care about the villagers like I did with hometown cha cha cha. I started fast forwarding the scences. The comedey was cringe at many points, and not really funny.
However, I chose to let go of my expectations, the plot wholes, character inconsistencies, and bad story writing. I did enjoy the emotional scences, and overall slightly was able to enjoy the ending, even though it was a horrible mess. I think it had amazing poetential especially in the beginning, however that got crushed. It’s also the writers first drama they wrote, so that makes sense too. Just highly disappointing. It was very hard to like ML after a certain action happens, and he doesn’t really ever make up for it, he really doesn’t change much. At some points I thought FM lead deserved better. SML made no sense either. They kept mentioning ML used to talk all the time when he was younger, I would have liked to see that. Especially since I just didint care about his back story as much. They also just don’t have like amazing chemistry. And the finale is an absolute disaster. FM acts annoying sometimes, or like a child which I don’t like.
But overall, it did still have some refreshing sweet moments, and once you release your expectations and just enjoy the story it can be enjoyable. I probabaly won’t ever rewatch this, and you can skip it, your not missing out an anything, but it’s a great kdrama to turn your brain off and watch. I did throughly enjoy the scences in the beginning, and I did love how they wrap up the finale in the very last few minutes. Those are the kdrama endings I love. All in all, sold out on you is skippable, but also bing able, healing, and somewhat enjoyable.

Worth watching
Not too slow pace for me. Solid storyline that develops slowly. ML in blonde hair suits him so well and FL is very natural. Their chemistry is undeniable as well. This is the first time I watch them act and I must admit they are really funny together! Supporting cast add lots of flavour to the show. A heart warming story in a small knitted community makes this drama worth watching!Was this review helpful to you?

Entertaining
I am really surprised by the rating as I think, this C drama deserves a much higher rating. I found the storyline interesting and entertaining. The chemistry between the FL and ML are super awesome and I loved both characters. I also loved the whole cast of very talented actors, being young and seasoned alike. To me the casting was perfect for each and every role. I really liked the music and the wardrobe, designer wardrobe for the characters. The set designs are very creative and beautiful. O.K. yes..... The ending was a bit more wishful than realistic with all the bad guys suddenly turning good and all their crimes were forgiven, but the happy ending for the main couple was worth it. I loved it, great kissing scene. Thanks for the great entertainment.Was this review helpful to you?
Is it really even Nanno?
I commonly see people say that original Nanno was karma. But I have always disagreed. Because like, what is the karma of the mom that found out the man she loved was actually a monster and then had to watch her daughter die? Or all of the innocent kids that were killed in the school shooting by the teacher Nanno pushed into going crazy? Or the artist that had her work stolen that had to hear the audience side with the plagiarist over her?I think every episode was done in a way that it can be enjoyed at surface level but also at a deeper level its presenting a thought experiment to the audience. And Nanno's role is always just to set up a scenario to leave the audience thinking about it. She often went too far, but that is just one more thing left for the viewers to consider. Which is why there is so much fourth wall breaking where the audience is spoken to or questioned. It's also why each episode almost takes place in it's own universe (hence the ones that ended with everyone but one person disappearing and the world of greyscale).
HOWEVER, in this version, Nanno feels like karma. She is brought in by a victim. And unlike original Nanno, who was typically not sympathetic and was sometimes even dismissive of the "victim", this Nanno comforts them and even works with them directly in getting their revenge. She even stops when one asks her to. And she only goes after the perpetrator. In the first episode, she didn't even go after the main bully's two henchmen. In the second episode, only three boys that took the photos and enabler mom were punished, even though all the boys in the school seemed to be involved in buying the photos.
She also oddly seems both more and less supernatural. Original Nanno often times didn't show her abilities though she had a sort of omnipotent/immortal being of chaos feel, she was just there to set up scenarios and let the chaos fall where it may leaving most of the onus on what happens on the person she is there to use as a lesson. In this, she directly uses her abilities to disappear in front of people, causes cameras to not work, that weird hand thing, etc. in every episode to more directly influence the people around her. And yet, the way she was talked about in the first episode wasn't like an urban legend, but more like a vigilante. And the guy from the first episode seems to be following her like a guy with a crush.
AFTER WATCHING EP 3&4:
Alright, well...these episodes feel like a different Nanno as well. She's not coming in to help victims. It feels more like original Nanno (at least season 2), but more heavy-handed. Less thought-provoking, more this is what we want you to think.
And the guy from episode 1 showing up each time and even taking her on a date is weird. Like Yuri stalking original Nanno set up an interesting juxtaposition between their two styles. I also fully believe Yuri's existence was intentional Nanno was made to be to omnipotent to slip up like that and with how often she gets murdered in bloody ways, seems unlikely that no one got her blood in their mouth before. Like I feel like that was leading up to something, even if it was just part of Yuri's message/lesson as someone who went from victim to accomplice to perpetrator.
But this guy feels like it's about to turn into a K-Drama romance. Like I just don't know where they can go with it that makes sense for either original or this version of Nanno. Maybe he follows her and like sees a little too much of the chaos she leaves behind and decides it's too dark for him. He is the one that pulled back and showed his victim mercy afterall. If he dies, it'd have to be some kind of epic ending for it to make sense. She's bent like the very existence of time and the universe to suit her purposes. She's died and come back, she's had others die and come back. It wouldn't make sense she couldn't bring him back. Oh, unless she isn't really Nanno. That could potentially be an interesting twist. She already isn't original Nanno, but have it be that she isn't even really "Nanno" at all. She could be the daughter from 'Judgement' (final episode of season 2) that Yuri gave Nanno's blood to just using Nanno's name and schtick. Then even her appearance on social media could be a way of undermining the original Nanno.

Babygirl just wanna snack and relax but ends up becoming immortal demon empress.
This drama!! This is sunshine x grumpy done right. This is mutual pining with dewy-glistening-yearning eyes. This is so so tender and very very juicy. This is three lifetimes of love—and I'm going to need a sequel of their fourth life in a modern drama.For a great romance, we need great leads with great chemistry. Sima Jiao and Tingyan said hold my beer and gave us great characters to root for.
Chen Feiyu's Sima Jiao is menacing, broody and ferocious. But he's also gentle and thoughtful when he wants. Feiyu gives this character so much dimension in how he overthinks, how he shows vulnerability and the way he warms up to Tingyan.
Wang Yinglu's Liao Tingyan is our sunshine slacker who is coincidentally the demon in this relationship (not that she knows that at first). She is an unbothered queen with priorities to sleep, eat and relax. She easily the best character and the life of this drama and hella relatable. Wang Yinglu was amazing with this performance; she played Tingyan with so much heart and carefree whimsy. It's so easy to fall in love with this character. (Unrelated: I don't know how to say this without sounding creepy but I love Want Yinglu's teeth LMAO. She has front bunny teeth but also fangs on the side? I love it when she smiles with her mouth wide open. I find it so charming lol.)
The romance is easily 10/10. The rest? Ehh, not anything to write home about to be honest.
The plot, while mostly engaging, really plays second fiddle to the romance. It's got uneven pacing and sometimes irrelevant storylines, but it always comes back to the main romance.
While I found most of the plot uninspired, the one trope that stood out for me how they used different lifetimes to explore the romance and relationship between our leads.
Minor spoilers ahead!
In the first lifetime, they are strangers who fall in love slowly, the tension and humour hit perfectly. The second lifetime, when only Sima Jiao remembers, you can feel his desperation and yearning while holding himself back to give her room to process. The third lifetime, when only Tingyan remembers, she's flirty and fiercely protective. It's a beautiful reversal of their first and second life; it's her turn to being the powerful one. Tingyan teasing Sima Jiao is so so so endearing.
I don't think the amnesia trope in the second lifetime is done all that well but overall I really enjoyed what they did with it. Revisiting the same relationship while the characters are in different periods of their life and love is a really fun and interesting story.
TLDR;
plot: didn't really care tbh/10
romance: 33/10
acting: 9/10
fights: it's a xianxia/10
PS if you really liked the kisses, you have to check out the behind the scenes. They are EATING

Honestly loved every second of it
The story is great, I found the pacing of the story was just right, didn't feel to rushed. Loved how everything came together. The acting is also amazing, the actors did a great job. Loved how the story managed the horror aspect. Its a good drama to watch and I would a 100% recommend it. Now im sad that its over...Was this review helpful to you?
beautiful
i dropped it and picked it back up because of the ml.i got so drawn in that I binged it. i couldn’t stop watching it.
i gave it a 8.5 ratings because the storyline had holes for me.
it was a bit confusing at times with the constant flip flopping
i loved the actors. the ml have so much chemistry and joe is so beautiful. his acting is beautiful! it was so very much believable
the only thing that annoyed me was his constant “ming. ming. ming…” i heard him in my dreams lol
i liked ming but his acting is not even close to the guy who plays joe. still good and very handsome. i loved how his character turned everything around in the end
i really loved joes mom. such a sweet lady. again, the chemistry between her and joe was so good, him being her son was very believable!
the comedy parts where rare but funny
in the very last scene I was waiting for a sneeze to finish the show but all I got was “ming. ming. ming” 😂
i wish they would have elaborated on the second couple more. it felt like they threw it in there last minute and just left it. all in all I loved it and wished for more

This is the drama which I can’t complain anything
There are only 2 words to say about this film. It is SO GOOD1. The chemistry between ML and FL is absolutely amazing. The way they act together is very natural. Every moment when they kiss, they look at, or they smile at each other is so real, like a real couple.
2. I'm totally smitten with Hong Xiao's look. She's so alluring and beautiful in this drama. Charles Lin is handsome, too.
3. The OST in the film is also out of this world.
In general, I like everything in the film: the script, the beach background, the cinematography, and the acting of all actors.

Fun, entertaining, I hope for a third season
Excellent series! I thoroughly enjoyed the first season, and this one is just as good.Both seasons stand out for their humor and acting; every comedic moment is hilarious. I've already watched it a couple of times and I definitely recommend it.
The main actors, all those who have participated in both seasons, fit together and interact perfectly.
I hope there's a third season with the same cast.

I can't believe this drama is this good.
I can't believe I have time to watch this drama... and maybe I actually don't. I am finding time to watch this drama so that should say a lot. So I wasn't planning on watching this considering the amount of dramas I am watching, I fell into the media and ended up giving it a chance. Sometimes people rave a drama for what looks like no reason... and I honestly thought that was the case.What is My Royal Nemesis? It looks like your standard romantic comedy with time travel elements and humor built off the dissonance between those times. Think Scarlet Heart but reversed. If something has already been done it has a chance of coming across as boring because of it, then you'd compare because of it also. My Royal Nemesis has elements that have been done, but it hasn't pushed it this direction before.
I haven't watched a lot of dramas where the 'villain' gets the lime-lite. It flips the characters around so you get their backstories and like them, but with the FL Seo Ri she is consistently herself. She is neither a villain, nor a perfect person. She is brash and fully into her historical life, and episodes in she is still remarkable herself. What I find myself holding onto here is that characterization, and how Sa Gye, the ML is interested in her even with all 'over-the-top antics' that come with her past identity.
The romantic comedy leans into the humor and charm, and I give all the applause to the actors potraying the leads here. It really is a one of a kind drama, where they aren't scared of going into the absurd comedy and can still come out as charming. This drama beats others out this summer by a million and proves what a good script, direction, and cast can do. It isn't flashy and showing scenes just for the sake of being pretty, this drama has detail and consistency to bring it along to something really special.
So I recommend it of course. For something similar I would watch Bon Appetit Your Majesty which is a reversal of this time-swap but unfortunately didn't stick the landing. My Royal Nemesis is entertaining and fresh enough of a concept that I see it continuing to be a good drama.

DEFINITELY GONNA REWATCH THIS
100/10 recommend. The music is amazing, the acting is top-tier, and everyone's face card is lethal. This is exactly my kind of drama—wuxia/xianxia with a healthy relationship. Watching characters actually communicate and support each other is so refreshing. The chemistry is great, the cinematography is gorgeous, and the soundtrack elevates many scenes perfectly. If you're looking for a xianxia with beautiful visuals, engaging storytelling, lovable characters, and a healthier romance than what the genre sometimes offers, I would definitely recommend giving Moonlight Mystique a try :)Was this review helpful to you?
