What a drama!

It's been a long time since i last encountered a drama that won't let me move on. Acting is on point, scenery is amazing, a high-budget drama indeed. The martial art scenes left me in awe wow, especially the scenes with the diplomatic team members. Liu shishi, liu yuning, fang yilun, and all the other supporting characters did a very good job executing those scenes. Also, the development of each character can be seen throughout the drama with the most noticable one is princess yang ying. I have never seen her in any other dramas, and she totally got me surprised with her acting skill! If only they had twisted the ending a little bit, i would have given this a full ten. Anyway, i won't say much more about the plot, just give it a watch. Just a reminder, prepare some tissues.

More than a romantic fantasy, it's a noir!

The title is a bit misleading, it makes you think that it is a Romantic Fantasy comedy but instead it has noir implications complete with a serial killer
The Fantasy Story is there because he is Cupid bound to live among humans for 500 years waiting for the last Metamorphosis to return to his place but something goes "wrong" and so he meets a beautiful vet who however turns out to be the love of his life precisely for him who cannot have any ties, especially with humans. However their story between ups and downs, memories and tragedies will have the right ending.
The story of the killer is also well told and until the end you don't expect the killer.
Nice chemistry between Jang Dong Yoon and Nana nice kisses, some comedy and some tragedy but overall a good drama to watch!

It's safe to assume it's the worst drama themed around Webtoon

The whole drama felt like a short web series that was pushed too hard and stretched too thin to be molded into a 16-long-episodes chunk. There was a big tremendous missed opportunity to genuinely create something unique and special about exploring the Webtoon industry with all its intricacies and nuances but what we got was a bloated melodramatic superficial cheap one-dimensional cookie-cutter cut of a mix of poorly structured sappy stories themed around Webtoons. I though we might get something similar to Shirobako but it wasn't remotely close. The drama was grasping at straws to keep itself rolling. A few cases made some good valid points but the majority were bad and embarrassing to include. The drama gave the impression that every Webtoon creator in the industry is a problematic individual that needs constant tinder love and care to function as a human. This drama might be themed around Webtoons but I wouldn't label it as a drama about Webtoons. One thing in particular that became more problematic and annoying as the drama went on was the female lead, her revolting attitude and extreme overreaction with every single breath made her unbearable to even hear her voice. There was an attempt to give her backstory but that was handled with 2 poor scenes. On the other hand, the other main character Goo Joon Young had one singular facial expression that is a wide static smile. Even as a character his role was negligible. One question remained to be answered, why did they end the drama was a love confession?! Huh?

Don’t drop on the 1st episode..

great twist & play on the average trope.
I love the revenge plot with the light fantasy aspect added.
it was a very easy & enjoyable overall.
a good watch for 12 episodes that weren’t over an hour. && it kind of kept me on my toes but you know just barely..

If I am being honest the first episode had me so damn annoyed!!! I really just had to push through and because I was so annoyed I MISSED KEY MOMENTS !! So although the FL & her “family” are irritating pay attention to the relevance in what the main characters say & do.
This show left no loose ends, everything comes to light & tied up nicely.

There were also a few scenes I skipped like just a few “slides” because the sister, the step mother & the “fiancé” were getting on my nerves. I didn’t care to hear them plot & scheme being that I know what the outcome was going to be and wanted to see how the ML & FL would deal with it.

I enjoyed the romance although!!! after the first “romance scene/episode” which was so passionate and enjoyable, they FELL OFF SO HARD & you don’t get that physical chemistry as much. They went from hot & steamy to dry & dull. The ambiance of the romance & the emotional connection was there just lacking the physical for quite some time only to get a glimpse later. this is one thing that makes me lean more towards j dramas because they aren’t afraid to push the intimacy, however we can’t deny k dramas put more effort in budgeting, actors, and sets.
sorry for the side notes but yes I do recommend at least watching the first two episodes to decide if it’s a trope worth watching.

A WHOLESOME SERIES

To be honest, I really love series that is not cliche like Not Me and Love Syndrome but THIS SERIES. RIGHT HERE!!!! OH MY GOD..... I JUST LOVE THEM SO FUCKING MUCH????? JimmySea is such a good pairing and OH GOD I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH????!!!! I mean okay I did not expect that I would love Sea this much but he is so good at playing Day. His stubbornness and the way he plays the part of someone blind really amaze me. He really makes us believe that he is really blind especially the part where he touch Mhok's face first to flip him off. He must have study the body language in order to makes us believe in his character.

I am a skipper, once again, but this series makes me watch the series from the start until the end and even the sex scene makes me feel like it is such a pure and innocent making love scene like they really exchange their love through that way and to show that they really care for each other. I truly love their characters and I understand Day's feelings. He is not someone that born with blindness but he could see then he lose his sight so it is obviously he would flip off??? AND CAN I JUST SAY I LOVE THE SCENE WHERE MHOK WEARS THE BRIGHT PINK SHIRT TO MAKES SURE DAY CAN SEE HIM??? IT is so PURE!!! AND I JUST- I REALLY WANNA CRY.

Jimmy on the other hand, he is GORGEOUS and HIS ACTING SKILL BRUH IM TELLING YOU.... HE DID NOT COME TO PLAY BRUH. He gave all of him to makes sure Mhok is alive in the series. I still cant believe up until now that Jimmy is a doctor. LOL. Anyway, Mhok have really serious anger issue though, and I could feel the pain when he is holding back from throwing punch at his opponent to avoid from getting caught by police AGAIN.

I still cant get over how gorgeous Jimmy is. UGH. But anyway, totally 10 out of 10.

Good and Crazy

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this drama. It was a really fun watch. All the actors did such a good job, besides its inconsistencies it was truly a good and fun watch. It’ starts off like your typical police drama. But develops to a more serious note. If you don’t care for potholes and are there just for the good vibes you will love this! I am not one to usually say things like these but I wish there was a season 2.

I think it was a nice change we don’t usually get corrupt protagonists so I loved that the protagonists was a dirty cop. And ou see him slowly making better decisions as the story proceeds given him a good redemption arc. I would’ve love to see at least one more kiss scene that was lovely lol. and K omg i lovedddddddd k he was so funny and all the fighting scenes were amazing.

Protagonists was bruised the entire 12 episodes lol.

The Lawless Empire

I wish the Kdrama industry would grow out of this conglomerate high-class trend, it's been over done to death now and each iteration is worse than its predecessor. In the first episode, the drama had a lot of flashy elements, big bold statements, bloated itself with trendy topics, and cast its net as wide as humanly possible; however, all of that was done and came across as nothing but tacky. Despite boasting a stellar cast, the drama turned out to be a colossal disappointment, a bloated spectacle that collapsed under the weight of its own ambition. Although the drama had a lot going on all the time but the infidelity was always its loudest and trashiest plot, overshadowing everything else. It occupied all of the tension the drama had to offer. There was also this narrative of all "men" are bad that the drama kept pushing for some reason. One more thing, at the end of episode 5, there was a ridiculously comical hacker-like-scene that immediately abandoned the slightest suspension of disbelief the drama ever had. It was a goner at that point.

Disastrous Job

It's a really cheap, lazy and outdated copycat that had no soul or identity to speak of. This shouldn't have been released in 2022. The cast were fine but they should've had some standards when picking up their projects. The synopsis emphasized on the drama having a love story and romance but that doesn't happen until the last 1/4. During which, the drama pushed their romance into our faces to a sickening level without actually being romantic but more like children discovering attraction to the opposite sex type of romance. The story and writing were practically nonfunctional on a literary level that it made me feel ashamed for finishing it. I wanted to draw some parallels between it and orange cats but I would be insulting orange cats. It was broadcasted by ENA, I should've known better.

A Thrilling, Fast-Paced Drama Not to Be Missed

If you're on the fence about diving into this series, let me sway you with three simple words: Go for it. In an era where television often stretches thin plots over too many episodes, this drama emerges as a breath of fresh air with its concise and fast-paced storytelling. It's a rare gem that knows exactly how long to hold its audience, making every moment count without overstaying its welcome.

One of the show's standout features is its background music. While it may not boast a memorable original soundtrack (OST) that sticks with you, the score in climactic scenes is nothing short of masterful. It grips you, enhances the tension, and elevates the drama, ensuring that you're glued to your seat, fully immersed in the unfolding narrative.

The casting is impeccable, with performances that resonate and linger long after the credits roll. The male lead (ML), in particular, delivers a nuanced portrayal of a journey from confusion to confidence. This character's evolution is beautifully crafted, reflecting the complex reality that confidence is never absolute. The moments when he allows his emotions to surface are among the show's highlights, adding layers to his character and enriching the story.

Additionally, the series explores themes of friendship and camaraderie, weaving a subtle bromance that adds depth and warmth to the narrative. It's a refreshing element that balances the more intense moments and provides viewers with a multifaceted viewing experience.

However, viewers should be advised that the show does not shy away from mature content, including some nudity across a few episodes. While it serves the storyline, it's something to be mindful of depending on your preferences.

In conclusion, this drama stands out for its ability to deliver a compelling, tightly-packed story that captivates from start to finish. Its strengths lie in its exceptional music score, outstanding performances (especially from the male lead), and its intelligent pacing. If you're looking for a series that's engaging, emotionally resonant, and refreshingly succinct, look no further. This drama is a must-watch, promising an unforgettable viewing experience that will leave you both satisfied and wanting more.

PERFECT EXAMPLE OF TOXIC LOVE

Okay I know that some of the viewers will say 'STOP ROMANTICIZING RAPE', this story is not about they romanticizing rape. It is about a toxic love where it started with rape and soon they overcome their own trauma and ended up in love with each other and during their 3 years love, even the smallest little thing could lead into a huge argument yet they couldn't help but to be with each other.

Day is toxic because he groom Itt to be hopeless and not sure what to do in life without Day's help and Itt is toxic because of how stupid he could get because of a cake and he is really stubborn. Both of them have their own toxic trait and yes, there is a huge character development throughout the series. Though, I need to complain that WHY THE FUCK IS FRANK WEARING A WIG????????? Like i really cannot unsee it. My god.

But honestly, I am a skipper but this series makes me watch from the start until the end and IT IS A GOOD SERIES. The plot is not the problem here but I think Frank's acting is a little bit stiff and he need slight improvement in it but DARLING..... LONG'S ACTING IS DAYMMMMMMMMMNNNNN. I AM NOT SURE WHY I HATE HIM PREVIOUSLY??????? He is so cool and charming!! Like damn i could watch his fighting scene for hours and I will still fall for him. DAMN LIKE OH GOD HE IS SO COOL I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING. His acting alone could make me watch this series all over again.

Frank's acting is.. hm... very doubtful. He seems to be stiff in certain part and his eyes looks empty, not enough emotion. Though, he is doing alright for this heavy series, I wish he could just give more commitment in this. And also I think its because of Itt's character that could become one of the challenge.

Now please excuse me while I go stalk Long's IG and the previous drama he acted in. LOL.


PLEASE DONT WATCH IT IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR SOME HEAVY TOXIC SERIES cause I am tired of people complaining about this series.

This drama makes a bunch of stuff right and only minor things wrong. It is a great mix for people like me, who like stuff that is; funny, serious, a bit emotional, inspiring, fluffy, light and entertaining, with great, likeable, interesting, lovely and supportive characters. On top of this, it also serves: a sizzling chemistry, a ML that melts heart 24/7 and a fun OST.

In detail:

+ I started this show very spontaneously, although it was on my PTW for quite a while. It hooked me immediately. Usually I prefer dramas with shorter episodes, because my concentration is really poor and I often check, how much of an episode is left. I didn't do this here. Not for a single episode. I was so immersed in the drama and it was so much fun to watch, that I was surprised at the end of every episode, when it was already over. I wasn't bored at all.
+ At first I was a bit intimidated by the long castlist, but you get very fast and easily used to all important characters, so it is even more fun to follow their stories.
+ The changing hospital patients keep the show interesting!
+ The OST is really nice! I like the vibe of the song. I had to constantly remind myself that this drama is from 2020 though, because it definitely gave me older vibes - not complaining about it.
+ Not. a. single. annoying. character. I usually roll my eyes when I read stuff like this, but I didn't anyone annoying. Actually, everyone had reasons for their behaviour that probably anyone can understand somehow. The characters are likeable, lovely and veeeery supportive most of the time, which made the drama easy to watch, since I was interested in everyones story.
+ The show serves a pleasent combo of funny and serious moment. I cried my eyes out in Episode 2. T_T and also in other episodes I got a little bit teary.
+ Low angst. I almost hate angst, because nowadays it is always created by unnessecary stupid drama. But this show is long on angst and doesn't serve stupid drama!
+ Eyecandy on every corner. For real. Every episode we get another serving of a hot male popping up out of nowhere. I was very pleased. :') Therefore: Tendo is outrageous attractive. His facial expressions, body language and way of speaking melted my brain several times.
+ The nicknames for the leads are funny and Sakura made me snort several times, when she wore the hero outfit.
+ There are so many cute things hidden in little details. (Did anyone else noticed the rice cooker in episode 8? I was never this sad to see a freaking rice cooker. x))
+ The acting was quite nice. I am a bit hard to please, when it comes to leads, because I like a bit of a complex power dynamic, but I don't like it much, if it comes off as one-sided love, because one lead is just an ass and treats the other part like shit. Or when one of them is just head over heels and stupid asf, at best combined with low self-esteem and we have a character I hate with all my heart. T_T :D Characters like Sakura are often annoying and too dumb, to be likeable for me. But Sakura is very balanced. They don't drag her clumsiness too far, which I really appreciate. :D Tendo had enough subtle moments, that showed, that he cares for her, so he didn't come off as too cold/harsh/desinterested. And I really really liked the fact that he always accepted her the way she is and didn't demand her to change. That was absolutely wholesome!
+ Some people might dislike it, but I am a sucker for "All males like the female lead". I can't get enough of a little jealousy and it was greatly delivered here.

+- While I liked the pacing in general, the pacing for the second and third couple was a bit too slow. Especially with the third one doesn't happen much, but that's not really something I would criticize too much. It's not really disturbing or annoying.
+- And while I know that Tendos character is build on being a Tsundere, I would have wished for a liiiittle more affection and sweet moments between them.
- I also got very annoyed by the constant interruptions all the time. This is something that gets frustrating in the long run.
- We have a good count of kisses, but unfortunately I didn't find them very appealing. Somehow a bit lackluster on the females side. I know she is the type of character for kisses like this, but at least one passionate kiss would have been nice.
- Minor continuity editing mistakes and some weird slomo, which was sometimes a bit awkward.

So all in all, its nothing new, but it uses known tropes in the right way and creates a show that kept me hook through all the 10 episodes, which is very very rare. I LOVE the low angst aspect and that there is no annoying character, who ruins the show. I felt so at ease watching this show and I would definitely recommend it!

The story helps you about your life

Thanks to myself that i continued to watch this until its ending episode, it helps me with my recent problem about school. Maturing is liking the story of this jdrama, the age gap, sayako's personality despite her age, taku letting go of sayako even though it hurts so much, and just about sayako's decisions for her life, i love it so much i don't know why, but i realized because i understand sayako, everything that she did in her life gives her a lesson "do what you really want to do", and tears flowed from my eyes, do what you want! and do what you really like! I am so happy i found this one and I am happy about sayako and taku too because now maybe haha they are now married, and i know that Taku loves her more than she do.
