Reviews

I liked the basic idea of ​​swapping carriages. Then I was happy with the romantic side of the series.
Two brides meet and are swapped and taken to the wrong grooms. Too late for a change, they agree to take their respective roles.
The girl who practices martial arts marries the sickly young man, while the intellectual marries the general.
The stories are alternated, a way to avoid boredom (a break is fine).
All is well until episode 13, when the point comes where they want to separate these two happy couples. On one side, the king orders the general to marry his daughter and thus become prince consort; on the other, the mean cousin convinces an old flame to come between them. With ruse, they manage to circumvent the problem and reunite. The princess has her eye on the general's right-hand man, and the evil cousin will do everything they can to avoid being killed and trap him.
Things that don't add up: dressed as a man one moment, then as a woman with a super sophisticated hairstyle? They drink so much tea that a little poison and they'd all be dead already. Why doesn't the doctor deliver the lotus flower to the queen?
In the 24 episodes, the background music is nice, but they could have added more to avoid being too repetitive.

All begin when a man was accused of murdered a student when in the realty was innocent. 5 years after, a young and intelligent detective must resolve a case of the disappearing of a girl with an old investigetor who followed the case of the other student.
A lot of people involved and guilty, want to hide the true.
A young journalist will help the 2 investigators.

Things that don't add up: who notified the police of the guard's death, which occurred in such an isolated place? They were already there before the body was even cold!
A police chief who doesn't listen to anyone, a journalist who repeats everything she hears on the phone? Cops who show up "drunk" at the crime scene and are always tipsy (what a disgrace). Things aren't going well, and the police chief tells them to drink?
Cops who silence thugs by paying them off!
Passable until episode 7, but after episode 8, I feel like dropping the series to avoid getting angry. What kind of characters:
Starting with the journalist who starts out strong, determined, and convinced she's saving the world, and then turns out to be pathetic (what a bitch, she had evidence that could help the poor guy on death row and she's keeping it for herself)! She entered the profession to seek justice but in front of evidence that her boss is corrupted, and doesn't even publish her writes pieces, she continues to trust him. The policeman's sister, who's divorced and is only seen drinking (but pull yourself together if you want to see your son). Even the young detective is starting to get on my nerves. He's committed to his work, but he keeps squandering money like nothing, paying here and there (it's obvious it's money he didn't earn, but received). The investigator who perjured himself and begged his former subordinate to let him work as an inspector again. The murderer cousin who thinks he's God on Earth. The editor-in-chief who covers up the mess.
What a terrible world!

highly recommend

It would not be an exaggeration to call this drama one of the finest sci-fi action comedies in K-drama history. It is incredibly entertaining and has an addictive quality that makes you want to watch it over and over again.
In particular, cha eunwoo delivers an outstanding performance, demonstrating a level of acting and action skills are incredible.
and the other casts all did phenomenal job in portraying their characters.

Perfect Crown, Perfect Story

First rom-com I’ve watched where I didn’t have SML syndrome. so it can be done! lol. he did a phenomenal job as i DESPISED his character lol.

I loved the fashion, the story, the familial relationships growing and everything in between.

everyone’s acting was phenomenal. I am certain this will be my rom com of the as nothing I’ve seen so far has come close.

chemistry was great, the visuals were great, everything was great. I really liked the parallels showing “perfection” throughout the story. it’s not just the crown, but the world they’re living in. ugh, I’m obsessed.

Finding a home in the least expected place ?

I was hooked right from the first episode and completed this 30-episode drama in 3 days. I personally haven't seen or heard of these two main leads before. The only familiar face was the guy who acted as Gu Ran in WIFTY and also the girl from Lighter and Princess. That said, I really enjoyed the acting and casting throughout. No supporting casts felt redundant or extra.

I loved that the show also had many life lessons that we could take away. It was not just a feel good drama or one that gives butterflies. The balance of joys, setbacks, pain, and grief made the show so relatable.

The grandma (nai nai) was definitely the heart of the show for me. Her timely wisdom and comfort to her grandchildren always made me tear up. That scene where the FL almost got sexually assaulted and the nai nai embraces her... "You're home now, you're home," she comforts. That meant so much for someone who had lost her mother to illness and had just been abandoned in a place that felt nothing like home. Yet it was in that moment that she experienced love, warmth, and protection.

Even though the FL was initially portrayed as a spoilt brat/princess, and was getting on the ML's nerves, he continued to do his part as a distant relative and care for her. Coming from very different backgrounds and holding different views on money, they initially have a lot of misunderstandings and conflicts. At the end of the day, while money is important, the show also taught how there are things that cannot be resolved with money.

"Will you think if others are hungry if you are starving?" the FL asked her Dad when he made his way into the Xuan Town determined to take her back to Bei Jing to resume back to her normal life. By then, the FL had resolved to stay in this town to get through her high school and apply for university thereafter. She had grown to love the people in this little town. She saw how these people who didn't have much, shared the little they had with her - making sure she always had her fill, and had a shelter over her head.

Having grown mutual affection for each other, I never really understood why they needed to cut off contact completely after the FL departed for BeiJing. But my guess is that if that separation never happened, both of them wouldn't have become the better people they became five years later. The FL encourages the ML by telling him that if he really wanted to see her again, he would find a hundred ways to get there. Fuelled by her belief in him, he also promises the FL, "Keep going forward, don't look back, I'll eventually catch up to you."

This show really captured the reality of growing up pains, figuring out their life's purpose and what happens when you don't give up and keep fighting. Despite several setbacks and loss the varied characters face, there was always hope - light that shone through the cracks, sunshine after the storm. Even for the 'villain', there was also a redemptive arc, to own your mistakes and take charge of your own future.

The writers really wrote the script and directed the show really well. One of my favourite metaphor in the show was: Life is like a box of chocolates - you may have just eaten a bitter one, but the next could be sweet. Truly captured the beautiful perspective on the unpredictability of life.

With its heartfelt storytelling, memorable characters, meaningful life lessons, and stunning cinematography, this is a drama that stays with you long after the final episode. A must-watch!

I watched it because of Seo In guk and I loved it only becuse of his acting and the fl acting.
They were so amazing together that I completely forgot about how bad their choices were. Their moments together felt so genuine and it really made me root for them even though they did crazy things. Them being together was so great that I chose to ignore why they should have never been together in the first place.
I didnt like the plot and the choices the characters made.
I wish Seung and Kim Moo Young hadnt gotten together or even if they did I wish he wouldnt have gotten her killed just for fun. I wish they wouldnt have made Jin Kang so bad that she decided to pursue her relationship with Kim Moo Young like 2 days after her friend died. These and many other things the characters did, dont even make any sense.
They could have chosen to show how broken Kim Moo Young was in other ways. They could have made his and Jin Kangs love story a dignified one.
And I dont even want to start talking about the brother. He was soooo frustrating, My God! He couldnt do anything right. If only he had told the truth to both of them since the beginning things wouldnt have gotten the way they did.

Splendid acting, amazing tragic story, not so good of a plot.

A Worth-Watching Sitcom, But Nothing Extraordinary

Ultimately I thought it was a decent, easy watch. As a huge fan of sitcoms it's definitely on the lower end, but there aren't a ton of options for true sitcoms from Korea, so it still scratched that itch. I found it funny enough, though definitely had more misses than I typically like in my sitcoms (but I've also come to realize that Korean comedy is that way with me in general, so I don't know how much was show-specific, and how much was more of a comedy-culture gap. The characters were decent, I definitely found myself invested more than I expected in their lives. I would say my biggest problem is that I felt like a few characters really didn't have any resolution which I found disappointing. I also really didn't care for the ending scene.

The Little Show that Could

To be honest, My Page in the 90s is a drama that probably would have been shelved into a corner gathering dust for the complete lack of resources that it had. Four changes in directors, such a tight production budget that they only had one song on the OST, practically little to no marketing budget.

Many will find the drama too kitschy and campy at the start but that’s PRECISELY why I got into it. It was always meant to be a send-up of worst drama tropes and it is hilarious if you watch enough dramas (it even has the truck of doom!)

But what me made truly love it was the amount of heart it had. At the core of it is a heartfelt story of female empowerment (go normalising periods and pads!), learning to love a person because he/she sees you and believes in you (and vice versa) and learning to enjoy every small ordinary moment you have with your loved ones.

Was the cinematography & direction excellent? It had some pretty moments but it definitely came off as low cost in its sets etc (which I didn’t mind since I thought it was fairly reminiscent of the era anyway). The editing was definitely choppy at certain bits but again, with the revolving door of directors, it’s amazing that it even flowed as a story. Was the story amazing? Contrary to reviewers who thought that the ending was lazy, I actually thought it was one of the more “complete” ways of ending a transmigration story instead of the abrupt did they or did they not meet again, was it a dream nonsense. At least we know for sure that it was Gao Haiming who lived through an entire lifetime of a book to finally meet Lin Huan’er again in her universe.

The acting of the entire cast was decent, but much like how the marketing promotions for the show was carried entirely by the leads, the drama is likewise hard carried by them. Both Chen Xing Xu and Wang Yu Wen more than rise to the occasion. Their acting chemistry is so natural and so fun that it puts a smile on your face just watching them together. And when the drama takes a sudden veer into angst, they are so believable as their characters that you just cry along with them. Word of warning - the last 4 episodes is just a complete sob fest, but in the best of ways.

Would I watch it again? Absolutely yes, but with a fast forwarding of the second lead storyline and much more lingering on the happy and sweet moments between the leads.

Forced trope and lack of character development

I don't think I'm the right person to analyze the story since I dropped it after three chapters, but from what I saw, it's hard to understand how a character can be so complex.

I mean, when the protagonist spoke with that traumatized tone, as if she still didn't understand the situation she was in, you might say it was obvious because she suffered a traumatic event after seeing her father d* before her eyes, or being poisoned by her own husband or accused of betrayal. But she struck me as a weak character, lacking in backbone, or perhaps harboring deep-seated personal grudges that blinded her to what was right in front of her. The people around her praise her, portraying her as intelligent, as someone who reasons, who understands what's going on around her. But if the plot hadn't given her the chance to return to a point of no return, she might have gone down in history as the most foolish protagonist ever.

But as I said, it's not for me to judge the way something is written because I got bored very quickly. All the other characters seemed very boring to me. The protagonist caught my attention, but the excessive use of red made me nauseous. EVERYTHING, seriously, everything is red. I don't know who was in charge of the set design, but if there had been a variety of colors to express not just anger or disappointment with red, maybe I would consider continuing it.

Oh, and I'm not complaining about the acting; in fact, I liked how they portrayed the protagonist. I mean, I love his bad-boy, troubled vibe (which obviously puts him in a stereotype), but there's something that doesn't quite convince me, and maybe it's the excessive use of CGI. Perhaps they'll improve it in later episodes or change things that aren't noticeable in the first few. But it's often said that the first few episodes are essential for a story to be engaging, and I firmly believe that this is as much as I could give. Thanks, story, but I don't think you're for me.
