TRUST ME IT GETS BETTER!!!!
Honestly I stopped watching during the second episode and didn’t pick it up for a while. I was so excited about joongdunk because I love them so much but felt something lacking at first. I get its easy to drop but take this from someone who also was on the verge of dropping DONT! When I picked it back up episode three and on became smooth sailing. Eventually you will start to see scenes that just feel like joongdunk and not them “acting.”Honestly dunk has improved his acting but it’s true he still feels a bit stiff but his chemistry with joong kinda camouflages his lack of acting. And GWORL you will be squealing, kicking your feet and giggling very soon! Episode 7 part 4 is all I’m GONNA SAY! Joong as always shines so bright with his acting and the way he portrays his character joke is well done!
Give it some time and don’t completely write it off!
Joongdunk have so much natural chemistry off set and you can see it in hidden agenda a lot in many scenes as it seeps into the show!
You can really see how much more comfortable they’ve gotten with each other. Like pondphuwin when they did their first project together phuwins kiss scene felt awkward much like dunk in his kiss scenes but baby did they change that real soon! Joong has always seemed natural when kissing his on screen partner and dunk felt awkward and not confident but girl did he show us all wrong in Hidden Agenda!
ALSO WATCH IT FOR AUOBOOM!!!! Their chemistry is insane and natural and they need their own series!

So. Boring.
Right I'm going to put it out there I didn't finished this drama I tried....I really tried but the ML WAS SOOOO BORING and the drama was pretty much a let down. This is my opinion but I'm pretty sure they had Seo Yea Ji in this drama because she is a well known actress and she might carry the show.Idk if this ML is a rookie or a "known" actor but his character was sooo dry he wasn't giving me ✨AHJUICY✨ he was giving me ✨AhJudry✨, his wife in this show was a spoiled, unbearable brat ugh I wanted to slap her, all that screaming and tantrums is such an ick
I love Seo Yea Ji but her character was fine but not memorable, that one scene where the ML was reading something and her character was just tangoing behind him was just soooo awkward ?
The sex scenes where just really unnecessary and forced, in episode 6 they were going at it like a bunch of rabbits it was really uncomfortable ?

Hun and Ga-rin carry this kdrama
i really liked this kdrama. the main character could be a little annoying sometimes, but the comedy makes up for it. there were some boring parts, but you can't really escape that. definitely recommend this kdrama for beginners, because i was also one when i watched it. by the way, Choe Hun and Oh Ga-rin were definitely my favorite couple and i loved their humor so freaking much!!ALSO:
i was team Tae-oh FROM THE BEGINNING. like, Do-hyeon was fine and all but he was a little boring to be honest.

Al peggio non c'è fine
Ho deciso di guardarlo per la protagonista che personalmente ho sempre apprezzato.Il drama, degli stessi registi di mad foto each other (che vi consiglio), non ha questa volta nulla di sano! Degradante la dignità femminile e piatti i protagonisti maschili.
La storia trita e ritrita e troppe coppie di cui si poteva fare a meno. A tutte le azioni danno costantemente giustificazioni, a volte si esaltano relazioni malate al limite della sindrome di Stoccolma.
Non credo di aver visto mai di peggio.

cute series with Good acting
This series was really good and the story of a wedding planner falling for a groom to be was a new and exciting plot.The actors did a really great job at portraying their characters and had good chemistry with one another.
The lesbian couple was soo healthy and adorable within their storyline but sadly they don't have that much screentime.
Lom and Yiwa are such good friends but what really annoyed me was how Lom didn't tell Nuea the truth about the wedding. This led to him getting hurt unnecessarily. Yes he had good intentions but the execution was poor and stretched for the sake of the series.
Of course I ate up the guest appearances of our beloved lita couples. The mental breakdown I had because of there scenes I will definitely not forget.
They also did a really good job at the nc scenes even though they are newcomers.
They Story is good executed about the 7 episodes but it would have been even better with more episodes and more time for the story and the characters to explore their feelings.

Xiao Zhan is the only saving - production crew is delusional when they chose the heroine
Xiao Zhan - Why did he agree to act in this show with a crap heroine who looks nothing like even the maids in this show…I’m sure the whole crew were mumbling on how she could be heorine…
Can’t watch her at all….
Liked the story but all was lost as I had no patience to see this girl anymore
Don’t want to write anymore …don’t waste time

An Unforgettable Story
* THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS! *I initially started this drama because I wanted to watch more of ZLS work! I started Hidden Love first, but dropped it because I personally didn't enjoy it. I started this drama and I am so glad I did.
This was an unforgettable story. I enjoyed every minute and watched all 56 episodes without skipping. Each and every actor/actress played their role amazingly. The Emperor was one of my absolute favorite characters. Zicheng was such a stoic, devoted, brutal character - just wow! Niao Niao was funny, clever and strong.
This drama has it all for me.
- Great story
- Amazing talented actors/actresses
- Made me laugh and cry
- Great character development
- Slow burn
- Action!!! (Honestly one of my favorite scenes was when Zicheng killed his Uncle - holy moly)
- ML is totally devoted and won't let any other girl in his way
My only complaint is that we never got the wedding scene we deserved! I think the ending was a bit rushed and honestly a few more episodes would have been nice to tie the story all together. But a happy ending nonetheless.
A must watch! Quite possibly the best drama I have ever watched!

There's only one message to this show: young love has its benefits! It can motivate and mature and keep you safe and on track. Sure, this young love is wholesome, but it was also disappointingly standard: a driven, bit cold, good at everything male paired with an intelligent, lively, but in need of mentoring female.
On top of that, no progress has been made on the opening episode mystery. It really seemed the show was waiting until the last episodes to even address it. Sure, there is some underlying tension in how did we get from there to here? But, without any themes or conflicts or originality, the drive to finish this series waned. Time to drop.

Marriage is not just about two people
I have a love hate relationship with MAME and her works. Don’t get me wrong, the production value is amazing. The OSTs are catchy. The cast is perfect. But then we get into the characters and the script, and I start to find more and more flaws. Good looking cast is not enough to make me love a series.Sailom & Namnuea: Sailom is an idiot. I don’t see how else to put it. He is caring and sweet, but his friendship with Prapai definitely shows. And not in a good way. A lot of his actions are not okay. From non-consent, to manipulating Nuea, to lying and deceiving him, pretty much stalking him at one point… To be honest, Namnuea is not innocent in all of this. Especially when he responds to Lom while knowing full well that the man is engaged to get married. Lom knows the wedding is arranged, but Nuea doesn’t know this. He is going after a taken man. One whose wedding he is planning. Which does give me an ick. I think their relationship development would have been much better if Lom was honest with Nuea and would have told him the truth sooner. But by not doing that, it shows Nuea in a very bad light. The two actors are great together and have great chemistry, that is not something I can deny.
Yiwa & Marine: I do find the two adorable, but also quite awkward with each other at times. I still really enjoyed seeing them together. Marine is such a sweet character; she cares way too much about others and often ends up getting hurt because of it. Yiwa does care about Marine, a lot, but she also feels some sense of duty towards her parents, her mother in particular, and wants to follow their wishes. Her reasons are also selfish – she wants to be free to do as she wants and stay on her family’s good side, and that is something she can achieve through marrying Lom.
I hate to admit it, but Lom’s and Yiwa’s marriage makes more sense than it should. I can see why they are going through it. As it is said in the last episode, marriage is not just about two people while love is just between two hearts. It means they will make their parents happy and keep the peace in the families, but it also gives them the freedom to be with who they love. However, how the two planned to stay married is something I don’t think was thought through. What happens when the parents visit unannounced? When they want grandkids? When they want the two home and together for every important event? Both Marine and Namnuea would soon start to feel like side pieces, which is something none of them wants.
The ending was expected but also exactly what I wanted. I am not exactly happy how Lom ended up using Yiwa for his benefit, but at the same time, I can understand why he did. It’s also what she wanted him to do. He didn’t have to go to the extent he went, but he can be dramatic, so it was very in line with how I saw him.

Seven Dramas in One!
I was looking forward to this drama for many months. I read the book partially and didn't finish it because I wanted the ending to be a surprise.I can't compare the ending of the drama to the novel obviously but I will share my thoughts on the drama as it's own.
The Main Leads:
Their chemistry is amazing. They have many cute and adorable moments both on and off screen.
The Story:
It's an amazing concept of finding one's true love again. However, I feel that may an extra 30 mins, a episode or a special clip would give a better insight about the ending-It's not confusing but as a viewer, you want a proper closure and not just one where everything wraps up in 2 mins with the leads.
I think this is a problem not unique to this drama but Cdramas as a whole. That's why I gave it a 9.5 stars when I've been giving every episode a 10 star up until the semi rushed ending.
The OST:
There are some nice OSTs in this but I don't know their names. Without any spoilers, my favourite is the most dramatic sounding one so guess it.
The Shengling Duo:
I just wish we got more time with these two on screen together.
Endurances:
You have to endure the annoying prince aka Xiu Ming. This guy is handsome but I don't want to be distracted in the drama plus I didn't like his character but I did feel sorry for him once or twice.
I couldn't care about Jin Lou's love story tbh.
Would I watch this again? Probably
I just wish there was more episodes for each lifetime because honestly, each lifetime would've been epic as a separate drama.
I am so looking forward to watching this pairing in another drama.
Lastly, to all the people who bullied YCY for her acting, she has improved and just because you are behind the screen, it doesn't give you the right to do that. Critic, yes. Bully, no!

Is it boring????
After watching episode 3, I was very disappointed with this serie. The written plot is lightly and not serious. The actress's character is too flurry unnecessarily. I don't like the structure of the relationship between ML and FML. It's disturbing that ML broke up with his girlfriend for without valid reasons. And I think office bullying and discrimination in educated society makes the story even more simple. The first two episodes were interesting, so I expected a lot. Looking forward to the next episodes! I hope it gets better because I love Rowoon.Was this review helpful to you?
No matter where you are, or what you have become I will always find you in every lifetime.
I started watching this series because the drama is adapted from a novel written by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang . She is the same author of the novels of Love between fairy and devil, Back from the brink and The blue whisper. I absolutely loved all the three dramas and when I heard that another novel of hers got adapted into a drama I immediately decided to watch it. So, I have already read the novel and I can say that it's quite different. I guess I am not surprised since this has been the case for back from the brink and the blue whisper too. But regardless of what others say, I personally liked the drama a lot more than the novel.Reasons to watch:
1. Their unwavering love trust understanding and devotion towards each other. Both the male and the female lead unconditionally love each other and is willing to sacrifice their own life to save the other.
2. Lots of cute and romantic moments between the leads. For me this was a good blend of romance, comedy, action, adventure and angst.
3. The female lead is absolutely no damsel in distress. It may seem that the fl is weak as compared to the ml but that's not the case. She has wits and doesn't cower away when it comes to the safety of her loved ones. Also, they added a backstory to the main leads which was not there in the novel. It was to add the element of mystery to the drama.
4. Main cp were a lot more affectionate than the novel where they quarrelled a lot.
5. They added quite a few side characters to add depth to the story but except for the sml no one is annoying. And even the second male lead redeems himself in the last few episode that you might actually like him in the end.
6. Anyone who watches it carefully can figure out some the parallels between their lifetimes. So it was fun predicting what is about to happen in the future.
7. No matter what the haters say, this drama had quite a lot of screen time for our main cp as compared to some other popular xianxia dramas. It was only in the last 2-3 episodes that they got less screen time.
8. Lemme spoil it, every one got their own happy ending.
9. The cast did their best especially the male lead and the villain absolutely slayed their role
Cons:
1. A lot of people were saying that the fl cannot act. For me, she did pretty well. Her crying scenes were the only part where I felt a bit of improvement was needed. But she's young and I believe she will definitely improve in the future.
2. The first few episodes felt a bit draggy, because their first lifetime involved a lot of politics and the sml's scheming. But it quickly caught up around episode 12-13. In the end, I felt the main villain took quite a lot of screen time with his schemings but ig that was to show how evil he already was and how he was willing to commit even greater atrocities because he was greedy and had inferiority complex.
3. A last minute happy ending. Even though I am satisfied with the ending but it would have been even better if they managed to show us a few more glimpses after they reunited or at least focused on the male lead more. BUT THE ENDING PROVIDED PROPER CLOSURE TO EVERYONE and that is what is satisfying to me.
4. They chopped out a lot of scenes but you can actually find all of them
Also the cgi and the ost's were pretty good. Whenever the bgm called emotional vocalization was played, it made the scene so much more powerful.
SO NO MATTER WHAT THE HATERS SAY, IT'S STILL A 10 OUT OF 10 FOR ME

It's just okay
Most of the show was pretty cringe esp Toy and Boss. It reminded me of the BLs back in the SOTUS era with ridiculous misunderstandings, cheating for no reason, bad kisses, and contrived pairings. The characters were 2D in a lot of ways - they didn't really grow as characters throughout and their personalities were just 1-2 character traits on steroids. The only thing I really knew about Tawan was that he was nice/caring and naive, for example. It's a bit too simple =/ And the Mayom and Nadia pairing made no sense, really. No depth to the liking or decisions.There were a few saving graces - the uncles, Cheep and Dej, the motorbike crew, Fueng, Jo, and Sing, and the beautiful scenery when they went up north. The uncles were phenomenal and a bit more dynamic - they were humorous, insightful, and showed an array of emotion and concern for one another. The motorbike crew was absolutely HILARIOUS. When they got off their bikes at the festival, I literally couldn't stop laughing. I liked that they were insightful and the right amount of nosey, making sure that Mork was taken care of and he didn't bottle his feelings. And of course, the ride up to Chiangrai -- the house, the forest, the cliffside. Ugh, it was SO beautiful.
The one hole that's bothering me the most...Did someone go back to get the uncle's truck!? He just abandoned it in the middle of the road LOL
