Wobbly start, stunning finish

After watching Season One yesterday, we watched Season 2 today. The first couple of episodes were a bit meandering, lacking the tightness of Season 1. The final two episodes were very powerful, and for most of the final episode I was fighting back tears. Kawahara Eito delivered stunning lead performances across both series, but the final episode took his character to new emotional depths and he rose to the challenge magnificently. The first season had the edge in cohesion, and was much lighter viewing overall, but the emotional punch of the final 2 episodes of this series redeemed its wobbly start.

PLEASING AND BEAUTIFUL

A slow constant pace romantic story.
About the main lead they really are beautiful and they really grow much specially the male lead. The main lead story is quite constant ig. Not very fluctuate much the father is the only cause of trouble. The moments are good also.
But for me the stellar show is the supporting male and female lead. Their story is more greatly written than the mains. Their chemistry is more eye catching to see. The way they develop their feeling there scenes are really eye pleasing to see. Their unfortunate Breakup and their again reunion is loved to see. Somewhere This overshadowed the main story, Somewhere I looked forward their story then the main lead. They somewhere Show their emotions than the mains which makes their story more beautiful. Just only one thing that the ending can be somewhere more pleasing In the supporting characters point of view.
One thing I really disappointed with they story is that they make many plots or side story but they did not explore at all.
• Supporting FL illness, they make unnecessarily (I think) or goes untouched because that does not go to the later plot makes the thing a bug for the viewers because their story is more beautiful to see.
• From my thinking the Supporting female leads brother can be more engaged in the story like they can show more screen time with other characters and more interaction.
• The sister of the main lead is also can be more explored because she played an important part here.
Other than that, the overall story is very top notch and mature the music and production is also great.

Very catchy romantic and fantasy series, with Jang Dong Yoon as ML & Nana as FL.

PLOT: The ML, Cupid, was cursed 500 years ago, for falling in love with a court lady (targeted by the king). He had to transform 29 times to undo this spell (cast by the God of Fate). He is almost at the end of his 29th transformation when he meets FL, a veterinarian, whose suitors all have accidents. She wants to cleanse this bad luck by going to pray 1000 times on a mountain. However, the CL reunion is disrupted by a serial killer and a police officer (the reincarnated king).

PROS:
+ an excellent CL (Jang Dong Yoon & Nana), with very good chemistry and lots of kisses. JDY has still a bit of a poker face, but that fits the character.
+ the 2ary characters are endearing, well developed. I love Cupid who turns into a dog ;)
+ The story is creative, coherent, intelligent. We're left with plotholes at the ending, but it's not frustrating.
+ Good balance Thriller / Romance / Humor.
+ Good OST (It's a K series :)
+ Satisfying ending.

CONS:
- We once again have an all-powerful Villain and capricious and authoritarian Gods.

## The gods are obviously not benevolent in the Korean imagination...

Série romantique et fantastique très accrocheuse, avec Jang Dong Yoon en ML & Nana en FL.

PLOT : Le ML, Cupidon, a été maudit il y a 500 ans, pour être tombé amoureux d'une dame de cour (ciblée parle roi). Il devait se transformer 29 fois pour annuler ce sort (lancé par le God of Fate). Il est presque au bout de sa 29e transformation quand il croise la FL, vétérinaire, dont tous les prétendants ont des accidents. Elle veut annuler cette malchance en allant prier 1000 fois sur une montagne. Cependant les retrouvailles du CL, sont perturbées par un serial-killer et un policier (roi réincarné).

PROS:
+ un excellent CL (Jang Dong Yoon & Nana), avec une très bonne alchimie et bcp de kisses. JDY garde un peu de poker face, mais cela peut correspondre au personnage.
+ les personnages 2aires sont attachants, bien développés. J'adore Cupidon qui se transforme en chien ;)
+ La story est créative, cohérente, intelligente. On reste avec des plotholes à la fin, mais ce n'est pas frustrant.
+ Bon équilibre Thriller / Romance / Humour.
+ Fin satisfaisante.

CONS:
- On a encore une fois un Villain tout puissant et des Dieux capricieux et autoritaires.
## Les dieux ne sont visiblement pas bienveillants dans l'imaginaire coréen...

This Drama is Amazing

One of the best drama of Song Yiren, the Storyline might be same like time travels but twist and turn and romance between the FL and ML is very good. liking every bit of it. Day by day this drama gets me hooked.

This drama deserve 9.5/10 rating, as the music, storyline line, acting and gradually increasing love between the leads, Don’t know why people don’t like the Fl, just because she is flat ? I don’t think she is very pretty as well as her chemistry with ML is super. Enjoying the every bit of this drama and early waiting for episode to come.

I hope this drama doesn’t have the Sad Ending. I want the ending happy☺️.

Cute and chill dating show

The acting was meh but if you want a light romance I would recommend. Don't go in expecting their acting to be the focus, its not. I like the cast especially the actresses. One thing that annoyed me was the crying, why can't they be professional in front of the judges? The best part is the funky opening song sequence- Charleston Boogie- I LOVE ELECTRIC SWING. I also loved the scenes in the sequence like the girl on the floor watching the guy do his goofy dance. An interesting point was the language barrier, it made the show better and posed real world scenario of people from different countries acting and dating.

All in all if there is a second season, I will watch it!

Somewhat satisfying but something is missing???

overall the drama was easy to watch despite the plot of a super-abused FL but for me, Everything was predictable. Even the "mother is alive" is predictable part since it became too obvious when they showed her scar multiple times and that she was overly protective of the FL. Even the ML having feelings for her from the start is also predictable... But that bit was what I liked since in almost all dramas that I watched it was always the FL who fell first.
Also in the middle of the drama, nothing special happens, they are not fillers but they are also not special. You will get it when you watch it. Sometimes the FL contradicts herself almost all the time in the first part of the drama and maybe that is because of her trauma (I am justifying her actions :) hehehe)
Also, I need to mention, that the ML's outfits are a hit or miss. I mean he is the CEO so when you dress him in a Polo shirt then it does not give us the CEO vibe so that is a miss, however, when you take into consideration that he is the CEO of his own created company maybe he is cutting into his finances? (hehehehe) then that is a hit also, Sung Hoon still looks good in those outfits. I just wanted to mention it.
So aside from the above mentioned, it is still a watchable drama. Some may think that the chemistry between the leads is not there at all but for me, it was ok since their love story is not typical. One is for seeking revenge and the other one is for his unrequited love that he does not even fully realize. I have a big crush on Sung Hoon and (I may get hate on this from his fans but this is my own opinion) he may not be the greatest actor I have seen nor the most handsome one but there is just something about him that I need to watch his drama...

Good acting by ML, hoping to see more dramas by him

If u are looking for a time travel drama with bits of romance, suspense, thriller and comedy then it's a much watch drama !! If I talk about storyline and characters the ML portrayed the cold grey character quite well, even though he's a positive character. The overall styling of ML is awesome i haven't seen such traditional costumes so far so hats off to the designer. Also the glitter makeup on FL is really good i would love to try it ! The osts and background music is good . I loved there were different storylines of various characters it's not boring and it keeps u intrigued to see what will happen with each character.

potrayed the most realistic and healthy relationship ever

in one word what makes this cdrama great and soo much better than other cdramas is that THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE MAIN LEADS and the fact that how REALISTIC it is. the story itself isn’t much, simple plot. and some people find it boring because of the lack of drama . But to me thats a plus point, no unnecessary drama, conflict and misunderstanding between the characters. often times the relationships potrayed in shows are unrealistic, but the relationship between the main leads is realistic, they face general problems that all couples face but they both are supportive of each other and communicate their problems. and another thing is that GREEN FLAGS?, and the romance was slowly built up, not in a rush, which will gove you butterflies. i rearly watch cdramas and I don’t really like cdramas because how long they are and how they drag the story too much, byt even tho hidden love has more episodes than a typical 16 episodes kdrama, i still enjoyed every pit of it. I also fell in love with the ost

the female lead gave me second hand embarrassment

at first the story doesn’t seem that bad with the cliches of past lives and stuff but the female lead just got on my nerves soo much . Now a days kdramas are about strong and smart female charecters. But here the fl didn’t seem to have any self respect or common sence whatsoever. and also I couldn’t really feel any chemistry between the leads. It didn’t even look like the ML was falling is love, It just looked like he was doing all that against his will . and then suddenly confesses his love. and then again saying it had nothing to do with the potion was weird. and the ML technically was cheating on his then girlfriend. They tried to cover it up by making that girlfriend a cheater as well, otherwise the ML would’ve been bashed for it. anyways i rearly have kdramas soo much

Had huge potential, is only decent

First episode was mostly boring. But then the plot got going and I got into it. So this showed lots of promise as it was always entertaining.

I generally dislike when the adult characters know each other from childhood, and sadly it is no different here. The weakest point of this drama.

The male lead had not much of an active role in the overall plot. Like maybe he could have helped in the shadows more.

The female lead reminds me a bit of Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation. Lovely, bubbly, almost a caricature, but fun to watch and to root for because beneath the goofy surface there is a genuine character. Until… there isn't.

This series, in its quest to subvert expectations, forgot that when characters have no dreams, no aspirations, no motivations, we cease to root for them. It's a mortal sin committed by this series. I recognize that it was all in the name of good writing, but it doesn't make for a great story. And it sadly is what happens to the main character played by Nana. She has no motivation whatsoever by the end (the show just… forgot about the reason why she entered the race in the first place: to get $50 000), and it never gets resolved. And it never gets replaced. She has literally no reason to do anything by the end except prop up other characters.

The lead character doesn't get her cake, and doesn't eat it either. Reverse uno! Except it's a terrible one. She got in as a public servant only to get an easy $50k, but then as the series progresses, she keeps working for no money because she believes in the work she's doing, instead of caring only about money. But then, she… gives up and leaves public office. With no plan. She didn't get her money either.

Because of this, what we get is a garbage ending amounting to a bunch of nothing where any and all side characters get a better ending than the freaking main character of the show.

The wasted potential here is huge as this could have genuinely been awesome in the hands of someone who didn't just promptly forget about the main character's motivations halfway through, because the writing was genuinely good for most of the episodes.

Oh well. There goes nothing. What's funny though is that it was still a decent watch.

Amazing

Just like Sword and Fairy 4, this drama looks like a Final Fantasy game too. I'm surprised in first episode the ML already met FL. So they were like brothers and sisters at first. Their chemistry is good. I just love when the OST plays. I know that Zhou Shen is one of the singers of their OST especially on the opening damn that vocal is so impressive. Very fit in this drama. Then goes the mysterious Zhaoyan. Even she acts a man there, she's really beautiful. I don't know but I love her character more than Qi. Qi is cute but I dunno, I wanted her some improvements in acting. Her voice is, I know it's normal but yeah, hope I will get used to it. Also, I like Xu Kai's other character Bian than Jinzhao. I'm surprised to see Jia Nai from The Last Immortal here even though she's only a guest. I just wish she can be a support role but yeah that's how it is.

I just wonder how SNF6 will be talking about sword or fairy as in its title drama. Or is there something important artifact in the future? Maybe in future episodes. Highly recommended too especially to those games and loves adventure stories.
