Remarriage and Desires (2022)

Too short

This drama had great promise. But since it was all squeezed into 8 episodes, some scenes felt rushed.

There was actually nothing new in terms of plot since it involved money grabbing politicians, revenge, femme fetales etc. Nevetheless, the actors all played their parts well and did justice to the story despite being one of the shortest episodes I have watched.

Would have liked to see how the leads' feelings developed since their interaction wasn't that visible.

The villainous female shined in her role because you will really hate her guts in this drama. First saw her in Snowdrop and she didn't leave that much of an impression that time.

Overall, the drama was ok. Just wished it was longer

a whole rollercoaster of emotions!

ok this was my first revenge drama and it was really good. The cast was rlly hot and their acting was amazing. The story was good and the aspect of the matchmaking agency was really interesting. i rlly have to compliment the actress who played Jin Yoohui bc i rlly hated her character, the acting was sooo good. i wanted to see more of hyungju and hyeseung bc they were soo cute. They were literally already acting like a married couple. I lovee the plot twist at the end but i want to see seokjin's happy ending bc he was so sweet for that. Also, i want to see the main leads' married life and their children, so i NEED a season 2. The entire drama was mature and straightforward which i really liked bc nothing got dragged on. the different pov from the characters made every moment interesting; there was never a boring moment.

Perfect drama for lovers of "The Penthouse"

This is my first time (probably last) writing a review as I usually just share my thoughts to my Instagram but this drama was so good and the reviews seem so harsh right now.
As a lover of a good revenge plotline, this drama hit the perfect spot with my style.
I was a huge fan of The Penthouse (only season 1 and 2) so this might explain why I loved this drama so much.
The acting was amazing, every actor and actress played their role so well, to the extent you could feel sorry for the bad guys too. The music and OST was just right for this type of drama, really was good at setting the mood and always added that extra dramatic effect. The storyline.... AMAZING. This is the first drama I've watched this year that has no plot holes left, it all made sense. Every character was well explained and given the right backstory to help us understand why they are doing what they do. The ending was perfect... SO WATCH IT
To be completely honest, I will be recommending this to everyone I know and I will rewatch it multiple times until I found a new drama that is just as good.

What a joyride of a drama....

This drama was unexpectedly great, although the plot of the drama doesn't relate to my life. yet it gave me a good time every single episode. The drama gave me feelings of sorrow, wholesomeness, pain, thrill, happiness, romance, and so much more that I couldn't elaborate clearly.

The acting was superb, the actors really brought their A-game for this drama. The emotions that they portray are just so natural. Their outraging performances must be my favorite scenes, it ignited their talents of how great they are in acting.

As for the plot, this one is fresh for me, I've been watching Korean dramas since childhood, for instance, Lovers in Paris. I've never seen a drama with this kind of plot, everything is fresh as new. I love how the drama consists of unexpected turns of table, sometimes the female lead got the upper hand and then the second female turns the table. It is so thrilling to watch that could make you grab at the edge of your seat. There were no boring scenes or plot holes to make the drama longer, everything was straightforward and the drama just want to tell the viewers that the show will be straight to the point. They suppress the romance between the leads because it was not the main genre for this drama. However, I wish they could've added romance genre to this drama as the chemistry of the leads is there. I was so eager to see some more romance between them. Though the drama only got 8 episodes which was a shame, I know for myself that there is more story to unfold after that ending.


Overall, the drama was exquisite. The plot was fresh and I highly recommend this to whoever got interested in watching this drama. I guarantee that every time spent watching this drama will be worth it.

Penthouse Vibes

This show doesn't make sense sometimes. I don't understand why a character decides to not do anything everytime I think they are going to take revenge or ruin something.
This show is really great to keep you at the age of your seat. The characters are get-to-know worthy. Everytime i root for a character, the thing that I really want to happen, it happens. If I want someone to go to jail, they go. If I want to ship someone, they are a pair. Some might think this makes the show boring or predictable but rather it makes you even more curious to what happens next.
Usually it happens so, that, in many shows, some sort of big reveal about one character to another important character makes the highlight for that show. These shows just makes us wait nonsensically for the ultimate predictable plot.

But not this show. Everyone at all points of time are aware of what is happening to each character and there are no misunderstandings. It's all about what action the characters are going to take. What will they say or do that will turn the story. That is what makes this show great for me.

Addictive

Omg this show was phenomenal! Gah! I knew from the trailer it was going to be good but damn it was Amazing! From the first episode I was hooked I binged it all in one sitting, didn’t get anything I was supposed to do done today… but I have no raggggrets! 🤣 it was so addictive and full of twists! You immediately feel for the female lead and want her to get everything! This drama puts the Din Drama! The woman are fierce and no one wants to lose! Gahhhhh, I swear I offed that skannnnk like 311 times on my mind and she was like a cockroach that just wouldn’t die!!!! The acting was fantastic! You really get into the show, and hang on for the next big boom. The men, gahhhhh our main lead is quickly becoming one of my new favorites, he’s incredibly handsome in a mysterious way, he’s sexy without trying to be. Gahhhh he had me daydreaming. And our second lead like coke on seriously, what a man! He’s gorgeous and truly cares for our main girl, only has eyes for her and puts her before anything and anyone. He easily Stole my heart, I swoooned wayyy too many times! He was the definition of a Good Man! He is definitely making the list of kdrama boyfriends! I loved the ending, and come on 8 episodes was wayy too short I needed more!

Vale forçar um Match?

Este é um drama que eu não escolheria para assistir, mas como me foi indicado como tendo um final surpreendente comecei. No começo me trouxe lembranças de "Amor, Casamento e Divórcio" (Recomendo) mas não. Aqui temos muitas possibilidade recheadas com sentimentos que poderia chamar de menos elevados e tem o casamento vip como o produto a venda. A partir disto as personalidades e interesses de todos os personagens são postos a prova. Gostei muito da relação feita com as mascara e as verdades que elas encobrem.
Será que precisamos ter ou ser o mais ricos ou o mais forte para ter felicidade na vida?! Este é o trabalho que assisto da roteirista Lee Geun Young e do diretor kim Jung Min, gostei!

Initially, I liked the series because of its main characters. After watching the second episode, I was impressed by the story and the flow of events. However, the problem was the lack of some details due to the short series - 8 episodes, which were not enough to explain the intricacies of the plot. This was especially noticeable as the story is based on crime, excitement, and revenge. Most of CEO Lee's mysterious movements and communications remained unknown to us. The romantic story between the heroes was beautiful, but it lacked some romantic scenes to help us understand their love for each other. There were no hugs or even the touch of a hand, while we saw her hugging and holding the hand of the second hero more than once. This detracted from the pleasure of the romantic storyline.

This drama caught me completely off guard

The story went completely different from what I thought it would be about. I didn't expect to like this drama this much since I just started watching it because of the cast, without watching trailers or reviews. I guess this approach sometimes can be actually a good thing.

The ending was a little rushed, and I expected a slightly different unfolding at the end, but for me, it was obvious who FL would end up with nearly from the start. I guess watching 250+ K-Dramas taught me to notice some important things that people around leads say and to realize what will have a big impact in the end.

If my overall rating does not look logical based on the specific ratings, some other things are very important to me, like cinematography, production, camera... and I also do not consider rewatching value as something that should be part of the overall rating.
