The acting of the cast is perfect.
Wang Xingyue has truly excelled in this role and is phenomenal in his acting. š
I liked the friendship between Xiao Beiming, Zhong Xueman, Huo Dairong, Feng Qingzhou and Zhuge Kongyun.
A special mention of Deng Kai as Zhuge Kongyun and He Luoluo as Tong Shuang, they really excelled in their roles. š
The music is good, action scenes were perfect with not being over the top, and everything else is good.
This was the drama that kept me hooked right from the start itself and imho, I didn't find any boring moments, but rather was deeply invested in it.

Perfect!
My goodness! The stepmother was awful! Even her voice was disgusting when I heard it. Superb acting from the cast. Though I must say Sung Hoon was a bit behind. He is very good at humour and other scenes though. This drama is a very good adaptation of marry my husband manwha. This is what I wished the drama was. I have not yet read the manwha for this however the characters are written to well. Each episode was engaging and satisfying. It got received punishment for their actions that was fitting. I adored this! Each episode was enough. It did not drag. It was engaging. I like that they didnāt let Jung wook off with the pitiful child and disabled excuse. He simply used it as a crotch to be a wicked person. Like YuRa. They both had all they could ask for. And used it to abuse their siblings. Iām glad that nobody forgave them. Or settled with the forgiving tactic. Sun Jinās son deserved more punishment for what he did to Yi Joo. Same with her father. Yura shouldāve been kicked out by her father. He shouldāve found out that she wasnāt his daughter either then then be disowned for what she do to Jiyoo. We shouldāve seen it and be satisfied. My goodness! Either way, I am still happy with this masterpiece! šWas this review helpful to you?

Right Measure betwen drama and romantic comedy
It could have been just another time travel series, but it wasn't.It has everything you need to fall in love and binge-watch.
From comedy to drama, the cast includes Cheng Lei and Wang Chu Ran, who deliver outstanding performances.
There are heart breaking scenes making us really think about real or fiction characters.
just the last episode ā¦ They returned to their own times, right? So he waited for her 10 years to meet her at the subway?
100% recommendation! I loved it!

Simple but okay drama
I started watching it when it came out and I saw the trailer for it and it looked interesting and I couldn't wait for it. The first 5/6 episodes were interesting, later I just forced myself to watch it, I just didn't want to give up on it when I was halfway through the series. Somehow I already saw this a classic romantic comedy and I just watched it when I was really bored. Some parts are funny and interesting. I thought the dog they adopted was too cute and that was really cute and interesting in the series.Was this review helpful to you?
Madness, Mayhem and Too Many Emotions
Let me start of by saying that I LOVE THIS DRAMA ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøAlthough the plot and the theme of the drama is far beyond overused, however this drama did a wonderful job in every aspect required.
I will try to write my review without much spoilers.
The writer and the director did a wonderful job in how the pacing of the story went, there was not even a scene that was not required, or was not entering. I normally don't have much expectation of the live action as the production team often tend to add their on take, however this drama managed to stay true to the original story (There were minuscule changes, if I am being 100% honest, but don't care š¤·š»āāļø).
Whoever did the casting for this drama requires a pay raise, as they did a fabulous job in finding Yu Wan Yin / Wang Cui Hua and Xiahou Dan / Zhang San. The actors did a wonderful job in brining the characters alive and their chemistry was absolutely marvellous. Starting from the main leads to the side characters, every character was well paid. The male lead (Ryan Cheng) did an excellent job of portraying various emotions as well go deeper into the story. His facial expression are great to the point sometimes I find myself smiling as a response to the scene. The FL (Wang Chu Ran) was great choice as well as she portrayed a FL who was trying to survive a storyline that went against her, her mannerisms and action were spot on and held my attention. One other character I would like to mention is Tang Xiao Tian who played Xiahou Bo (The villain/original ML). I hated his character till the very end to the point I had no sadness when he was in the state he was, but that goes to show how much of an incredible actor he is and his efforts towards the drama, so hats off to him. Also the fact that he is trying an antagonistic character for a change out side of his ML role shows his artistic perception and abilities.
The OST of this drama is also peace worthy as it combined comedic elements where needed as well as some OST's did an excellent job in elevating the mood within the drama.
Overall, it is a well presented drama in the recent years of this particular genre.
I would 100% rewatch this drama.

It's okay drama but nothing special
I watched this drama 3/4 years ago when I stayed up all night to watch half the series. This kdrama just isn't my taste. It could have been better and honestly it's not something I'd watch again. I have nothing against Cha Eun woo and I think his acting is great. I just think there is a better K-dramas to watch and rewatch few times. But this one for me is really no. I try rewatched her few times and I always give up at 5 episode because for me is really nothing special. It's just my opinion about itWas this review helpful to you?
THAT DRAMA THAT EVERYONE SHOULD MUST WATCH āØ
10000000000000000000000000000000000/10This was the first drama I reviewed while I was still watching it (and I was only on episode 4) and now I've finished it and WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DRAMA, I BEG YOU TO WATCH IT IF YOU LIKE TO SMILE A LOT. š«¶
It's incredible from beginning to end, there isn't a bad episode, on the contrary, it only gets better with each episode, you smile until your stomach hurts (in my case š¤£) it's that comfort drama and now that I've finished it I'm so devastated, I think I'll have to watch it again in a while.
More than 200 dramas watched and I can say with certainty that this was the best I've ever watched (it sounds like an exaggeration, but it's really very good).

it is not worth of your precious time
This is probably the worst drama series I have ever seen ā although I couldnāt even bring myself to watch the last episodes. The female lead is written so poorly that no one could possibly relate to her. She wallows in selfāpity all the time and does nothing to improve her situation. If she isnāt crying, sheās either raging hysterically or so drunk that she embarrasses herself completely night after night. Does anyone even know what she actually does for a living? She spends most days lying in bed, crying over her miserable love life. Itās entirely her own fault that her life is so unhappy. And her parents, with their manipulative behavior, certainly donāt help improve the situation. None of the other characters in the series are pleasant either, nor are they people one would ever want to get to know. I donāt understand why a series about such unpleasant people was ever made.The series also gives a strange impression of Korean people. Friends and relatives are at times treated very violently and harshly. This includes both emotional and outright physical violence. Alcohol use also seems to be a national problem, if one were to assume that the series reflects real Korean life.

I Really love the ost song??
I actually really love their acting especially the main lead and because of this movie heās now one of my favoriteš« š« š, but they would have should the second female lead how she went back to the city I was really expecting something like that cause of how she was in the river but anyway everything was nice.Was this review helpful to you?
An absolute riot
I enjoyed this so much, I knew I had to watch it and was not disappointed. The girlies are amazing, I absolutely loved Fluke in his role, almost a pity it was only 4 episodes but with the plot 4 eps was totally fine. The plot is crack-y and over the top, but it makes it fun! Probably not for everyone, but it's definitely worth checking out.Was this review helpful to you?
oh my god what a lowlife
Woah, a revenge drama if Iāve ever seen one, satisfying from start to finish. You know the acting was immaculate if you ended up despising half of the characters. Iām sad I didnāt watch it earlier, it was so funny but like kind of absurd? but it also had me on the edge of my seat. I loved how quickly the show moved while it didnāt feel rushed at all.Was this review helpful to you?
I can't get it out of my head.
Although I really enjoyed this movie, I wasn't going to write about it, because I thought I didn't have anything interesting to say, but almost a full 24 hours after watching it, I keep replaying it in my head, the more I think about it, the more I like it, the more the pain lingers so I have to put my thoughts about it in writing whether they're interesting or not.To My Beloved Thief changed my mind about Moon Sangmin, to me he was Just tall handsome guy who just stood there with the same confused expression no matter the situation his carachter is put in, the swimmer in Mermaid prince,the prince in under the Queen's Umbrella, younger guy dating older lady in Cinderella at 2 AM, all the same boring handsome dude ( he was good in Duty after school though, just as or maybe more disgusting than Taeman was in he webtoon). All that to say that I was looking foward to what he would do in Pavane and although he does have that confused handsome guy face in this one, it works so perfectly, Gyeongrok is a sad kid who has had a really tough life, the unflattering way dresses and that gloomy air around him, Moon Sangmin made me care for this guy so badly.
I love that Kim Mijeong kept her look throughout the movie, yes she was quirky, mousy and bashful, that eventually did get better, but finically, no makeup, simple clothing and hairstyle it was just her and she didn't need to change that. The way GyeongRok would light up when he saw her was like stepping into a whole new world, these two usually gloomy people would brighten up, smile, sing and dance, and make us root for their love.
Although the movie is a bit slow at times, it makes sense given the personalities of our two main leads, its a slow burn romance with a devastating ending but it is very much worth watching at least once.

i watched it multiple years later, hereās my opinion
There are very few korean shows Iāve watched right after theyāve been released and thereās always a small chance that Iāll watch it it if the show blows up. Iāve been disappointed before with those kinds of shows, so I stayed away from āThe gloryā.So hereās my totally honest opinion on the show now when it isnāt the topic of most convos.
I actually really liked it, I can understand why it was so popular back then. The storyline was well-built and the actors and actresses did such a good job with their characters. And it was quite rewarding to watch, everyone got their own karma and those who suffered could breathe again after feeling like they were drowning and no one cared.
It was one strong revenge drama, although the ending was not left all the way open but they didnāt conclude the series too punctually either, it was an interesting take definitely.

whoever thinks this is good... give me your pot ?
I starter watching this after reading the stellar reviews.Currently on episode 1... I hope its one of those dramas which get better over time.
So far this a cringe show and a pretty boring one.
The acting is really "soap opera" like and so is the editing.
Sometime is hard to even hear some actor speak.
This first episode doesn't make any sense. A guy falls from such a tall building yet he is alive?
The step bro seemed to have some kind of relationship with the ml but nobody's rushes to the hospital.. not even to save some face?
Your sister just tried to murder your step bro... aren't you in..shock?
On episode 4: still waiting for the "funniest lines" some reviewers have ever heard.
The characters are frankly boring as hell and the acting is either too extreme or lacking in its entirety.
The ml character is so boring and Franky not a great actor.
I don't even know why she is so obsessed with him.
In the real world she didn't know him and only witnessed his assassination's attempt.
In this "fictional" world it would make more sense if she felt some kind of "obligation" to make him happy to repay him of her shortcoming (not going to the police) in the real world.
Cringe, senseless and boring.
I'm dropping it.
