Reviews

Don't let the other reviews deceive you...

As I was finishing the last episode, I literally wanted to scream because I didn't wanted it to end...THIS WAS SOOOOOOOO AMAZING....If like me, you're also into heartwarming stories with slow burning romance , this drama is definitely for you...Romance is sooo subtle....The characters, all are written soo well, showing us their struggles and growth...
I saw people talking about the age gap...But the age gap in this was NOT awkward or cringie, rather our ML gently took care of our FL....
I wanted to watch this drama in 2020, but kept pushing it and now I regret not watching this fabulous drama before.... ㅠㅠㅠ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡


At the end, I'll just say that DONOT LET THE OTHER REVIEWS stop you from watching this drama, please....HAPPY WATCHING YALL...

Good adaptation

Well, this is the different one from other adaptations with >20 episodes into 16 episodes. Fast paced. but it succeed. Tu Tontawan and Dew already made it very great in their debut.

However, Bright still have to improve his expressing skills in this drama. Not saying that he's bad, just needs some improvement. Win and Nani succeed to bring the character the joy to their friends, like the narrator said in the last episode, "The one who looks like a mafia, but actually has his soft spot, and really love his friends". And I have to admit the perfection of the villain (Thyme's mother) because i really... really like the acting. Idc she's a villain i still like her acting lol. I recommend this!

Intriguing plot, never been used in any Filipino TV drama but not something new, internationally speaking. I just finished rewatching deep impact a few days ago, and the mention of ELE (Extinction-Level Event) made me winced.

Considering this show was from 2013, the effect aren't that great. The actors were okay, OST too.

But what I can't ignore was the major plot hole: the ML was a devoted soldier, an ex-convict framed by the previous president, was pardoned and was assigned a very important assignment for the project Genesis.

What was so important with this people? They have nothing to do with project Genesis and the humanity's survival. He then spent maybe 90% of the time looking for his lost love and daughter.

Then there's that karmic ending, the bad guys managed to hijacked the spaceship the was supposed to save the chosen ones. Then they collided with the meteor itself and saving the earth. What?!

Not gonna rewatch this, ever.

it makes you feel things

my boyfriend doesn't like kdramas but he absolutely loved this one and I think it says a lot about the kind of drama this is. It's sensible, beautiful and poetic, it speaks to every kind of person. even if you don't like kdramas, even if you don't like romance or the characters in this, you'll understand the meaning behind and it will speak to your heart.

many times you'll get yourself thinking about you, about your childhood or your traumas. It teaches a beautiful lesson about how to deal with those things. It is a masterpiece!

Was expecting more

I am a huge fan of the original anime, so when this was announced for Netflix I was hyped!

And then it was released.

Dammit, I wanted to like it so much but the Netflix series ruined a lot of the good stuff with the anime. I liked the actor playing Yusuke, he was likeable, but they took huge liberties with the story to squeeze as much as they could into 5 episodes. They took many of the beginning arcs and stripped them down and tried to squeeze them into 5 episodes. Why? Was it a budget thing? They completed skipped some important character development arcs such as the Genkai Tournament, the 4 Saint Beasts, and the best arc the Dark Tournament. For example, instead of Yusuke earning a place as Genkai’s student, he is just taken to her home in the mountains and starts training.

The action scenes were really good for sure, but they butchered all the great character development and stories that made Yu Yu Hakusho great to begin with.

comforting soooo much

SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD wth. The story portrayed not only their childhood friends reunion that turned to lovers but also Bok Joo's hard working to always do her best as a weightlifting athlete.. love u sungkyung n joohyuk.

And also Bok Joo's father that I really like. He's a hardworking person, and has been taking care of Bok Joo himself since long time ago. He seems so protective but he loves Bok Joo that much (and some dad's love language is like that.. ig)

And i love Bok Joo and Joon Hyung's scenes. Just like... your heart feels warm? And Joon Hyung's jokes always get me.. yes!

one of the best drama I've ever seen with the WORST ending!

At first, everything is perfect: action, suspense, romance, drama! the acting is absolutely amazing and the first episode is one of the best first episodes of all time!

but from half to the end, it seems that the writers get lazy and the episodes are dragged on. the awful cherry on top was the ending.
not only it's an open ending (with no sequel) but it's also a TERRIBLE ENDING. really out of character put the two mains in that situation, it makes NO SENSE.

I struggled a bit to finish and was really disappointed with the end. But, because the first part was a masterpiece I can't bring myself to give a lower rating. also they have Bae Suzy so it's a plus lol

The Most Green Flag ML In Drama World

I came across this drama from a short video, and I didn't regret watching it. This drama told about Han Yi Joo, whose given a chance one year back after being murdered by her stepmother. This time, she vowed to take a revenge against anyone who harmed her in the past life. To do it, she married Seo Do Guk

Seo Do Guk, is a really green flag ML. He cared for Yi Joo. Knowing she feared food because of past accident, he tasted all of her food, and he cooked for her. He gave her a bigger room than she had in her parents house, and gave her love she deserved.

This drama is so light, but didn't mean it didn't have any conflict. The conflict solved rather quickly, so we didn't get curious that long. Both leading actor and actresss had a good chemistry. And from this drama, we know that Yi Joo got happiness she deserved in the end.

The Yang Di Wei Huan drama poster was NOT interesting for me at the beginning and I wasn't sure if I would like to watch it.

The storyline of this web drama was attractive and interesting, which inspired me to read the Manhwa, which is something I've never done before (thanks to the person who added the Manhwa in their review).

The ending was terrible and felt incomplete it's not like waiting for the second season, it was cut

Manhwa was good, though I did not complete it.

The main leads character was nice and not annoying, which let me enjoy and appreciate the story.

Perfect for a quick Christmas Binge

A fun action series that captures the essence of an anime/manga, featuring impressive fight scenes and endearing characters. Despite having only five episodes, it manages to generate considerable excitement for forthcoming installments. However, due to the limited number of episodes, certain aspects like character development for antagonists, side characters, and world-building are somewhat rushed. A potential second season could provide more room for these elements to unfold. In summary, it's an excellent series that sparks anticipation for the show's future and elicits my interest in exploring the anime—a perfect quick watch over the Christmas holiday.

Funny, emotional, quirky… all in one

After watching the flop of Only for Love, I wanted to see something different… not historical… and came across this one…
And what a difference! I was interested since the beginning..
This is a story about ACCEPTANCE… to others and to yourself…
I found it eye opener and powerful.

Eun Hwan Ki…. Has so many layers… basically more yhan meet the eye…. Kudos to Yeon Woo Jin… he did a very god job portraying the anxiety and frustration of not being able to express yourself, not being heard… I stayed glued to the screen really hoping for his happiness…
It broke my heart how he was treated by his father.. always compared to others, belittled… of course it was bound to happen to become closed off and alone…
How smartly he matched every team member to the right assignment to take them out of their comfort zone but in a good way… that is true leadership in the workplace… kudos to the writers for that!

He has so much to give… jeez… got me crying every episode…

Now, Chae Ro Woon.. is exactly what I expected.. too loud, too pushy, too much… I liked that the writers shifted her towards a more understanding, even emotional intelligent side… still sparky but with more essence and not only noise…
How the drama with the sister broke her life… that is so true…. The ones that are left behind are the ones that pay the price… even years after.
I liked her direct approach…. It was the ying to Hwan Ki’s yang….
(I find her different than other actresses…. I like her)

Quite a lot of funny moments… balancing the seriousness of the drama quite nicely..

Would I watch it again? Yes

More importantly and unexpected…. Got me thinking differently about whats going on inside the mind of an introvert…

Funny and light hearted

The series is funny and light-hearted and does tell a good overall story. I love the actors, especially the main couple. It was nice to see them all work together again. The story is a good story to share. I personally would have preferred it to be a more serious story than a comedy but it overall had a good appeal. Nice storytelling and good drama with a sense of mystery to the story. It is nice to see that everything was set up to the very end. There was a reason for everything and the actors showed it. The series does have its charm and growth with a lot of over-dramatic moments and comedy. You have to know what you're getting into wit this series. I found it to be a fun playful series over all.

Sweet Playful Series

This series was adorable about childhood friendship growing into more. It was sweet to see the cuteness and shyness of the character. The actors did a great job. I enjoyed the friends helping support them and trying to help them understand one another. The girls were a bit annoying running around the guys all day long. It was sweet to see growth in the characters and see them shine and better understand their feelings for one another. The story takes you on a fast adventure, wish it was a bit longer but it tells the story about love, friendship, and understanding with a good acting. Loved the playful shyness they had with their special moments.

I like it. The storyline was interesting, and the lead character's characters are nice. I would recommend this drama even though the end was a little disappointing. Let's face it—not every story is a fairy tale, and sometimes we need a little taste of reality. There are a ton of short C-dramas that are so ridiculously silly.

The topic of communication and how misunderstandings lead to problems and/or separations. Yes, it hurts. Within the story, communication issues and jealousy were not clear or directed but near the end it was like it was brought up, but I really from the start. Exceptionally intelligent author.


This drama was refreshing.
