A MUST WATCH!
This drama is such a rollercoaster of emotions. You will cry, and you will smile, there is so much angst, and politics but also a smart villainess Female Lead, scholarly, overly intelligent ML, and a super 2-second male lead. Yes, we have 2 SMLs and the chemistry of the FL with two of them was amazing and you will cry for the other two. But our ML deserved her truly after what he had gone through, she is like a light in his dark life. A true definition of how love brightens one's life.Talking about the story, was very distinctive from what I had expected. The FL was indeed a villainess in her first life and made some major mistakes that caused her to die. The rebirth allowed her to follow a different path, at first she tried to avoid the situation altogether. But when she realized she could not avoid it, she decided to change it but when she realized that she couldn't change it either, she became active in preventing the worse situation. Though things were happening according to the past, they still changed because of the subtle changes, especially in the characters because of her change and intervention.
It WAS A HAPPY ENDING! Though it looked like a sad ending drama throughout the show, it was a happy ending. This drama is worth watching because of the ending, after so much angst, politics, and mind games we got a happy and satisfying ending. The chemistry in the drama is mindblowing, the main leads, supporting cast, everyone did a great job in portraying emotions and playing their part. I loved Yan Lin and the Princess, their roles had drastic changes and showed so much growth and development. I don't watch many Chinese historical dramas but after Love Like the Galaxy, this became my favorite one. Can I watch this again? Maybe No! Because it was so intense and I don't think I can handle it again but I will watch their happy moments later, so yeah! Their happy moments can be seen again and the osts are just so beautiful that it would make you cry.

BEST DRAMA OF 2022.
AOS S1&2 were phenomenal and it was one of those dramas that I would like to re-watch in the future. It was a pack of everything, best of cast, visually and skills as well, best osts, interesting and fun plot and dialogues.While watching this drama I laughed, cried and again laughed. I am not a fan of historical themed dramas. But this one was different, while keeping the historical essence, it was funny and modern. I loved the costumes and how their looks and costumes changes after the leap.
S1 was great, no doubt. So min gave it a kick start and set a mark of excellence for the drama. She was excellent in action, funny as hell and cried sm because of her.
However, I will say GYJ did an amazing job in S2 because her job was harder. She had to act while also keeping the essence of mudeok and somin while playing her role. People had high expectations from her and many were waiting to throw shade at her. However, she proved those haters wrong with her acting and was like a fluff cotton ball while acting as Buyeon, however her sassiness returned when she got naksu's memories.
This drama gave the most exposure to Jae Wook. He was still a rising star until a while ago, he got some main lead roles but I guess the scripts weren't as good as this. He got to show his high quality performance and was praised by everyone. I hope he will be casted in more.dramas and cannot wait for his next project.

VERY UNDERRATED DATING SHOW.
These days many dating shows are being released. Not that I hate it but many shows lack the sincerity and the quality. I recently watched Eden 2 and disliked it sm. However, compared to such low quality shows, this one is a good quality show and has a very distinct concept.A group of girl friends and boy friends coming together as two seperate groups like group blind dates? It was kind of cruel to watch them going through so many turbulences and testing their relationship as friends. However, I liked the show, especially the contestants. Their sincerity hit me so bad. My favourites were Young Hyeon and Min. They were so cute and their friendship bond was so special. I loved Min the most. She was quirky introvert with cool personality. This show allowed them to find more about themselves and see to which length they could go for love or friendship. I will give special mention to tae woong for being the best friend who not only cared for his boy friends but girls too.
I was avoiding this show for quite a long time but I am glad I watched it. I loved it sm and will wait for it's 3rd season. Hope they do good casting like this one and we can see some real chemistry between contestants again.
If you're a dating show maniac like me who have watched almost all kinds of dating shows, this show would be a good addition to your list.

I only yesterday found this drama and just casually started watching it just to pass my time.
I had no expectations from this drama however I never thought that I would end up all the episodes in one go. It's an ongoing dramas and I have watched all the 7 episodes in one go.
The story was well written. It's about the struggles of a teacher and the moral challenges as a teacher. Watching the first episode hooked me so much to the story.
For those who wants a fast pace romance and something, then it's not for you. This drama is very deep in sense and has a subtle amount of happy moments to it. It is not as serious as the cover may look but it gives you very good vibes and satisfaction while watching.
I read the reviews that say that they had dropped the drama in mid because its boring and slow paced, I would say it's not because it's a bad drama, it's just its not suitable for them as it has a real sense to the story. It is one those amazing drama that has less romance but the great storyline.
OFCOURSE the cast was amazing and well portrayed their characters.
I hope people will watch this dramas in New sense and this drama will get the exposure that it deserves.

Low-Budget Poorly written drama
I was anticipating for this drama since it was announced. First because of kim min gyu, secondly, I liked the plot. I like this kind of fantasy rom-coms. However, this drama was far away from expectations and felt like a poorly written low-budget drama.The plot had potential but they totally ruined it with low-budget CGI and poorly written dialogues, messy storyline. Everything was bad expect the actors. I feel the only good thing they did was to get kim min gyu as the main lead because many people turned in to watch because of him only. However, I feel that the characters were written so poorly that I could barely like anything about this show. The romance part was so unnecessary as there was zero chemistry between the leads. The love line felt so forced. Started good, but it became messy with evil, rendrin, her majesty and what not. There were so many unnecessary characters which has no use to the storyline. To end this drama, they rushed the last few episodes. In the end you get to see that even WYW was not the same WYW. Lol. What is wrong with this story?
For other watchers, if you came here because of it's interesting plot, i would suggest you to skip this because it gets only worse by time. I completed it because I liked the interaction of WYW with his group member and watched the whole show by skipping other annoying parts and watched the main ones. I hope to see KMG in another good drama because this drama totally ruined the hype that business proposal created for me.

BEST ROM-COM WITH A TWIST OF MYSTERY. MUST WATCH.
I don't write reviews that much however, for this drama I feel like it's better to drop a review so that more people can watch this drama. Many people might say that the FL casting was bad or there were too many unnecessary sub-plots. But I will say that all those things added to the charm of the drama. Though it could pass it as only rom-com as well but I liked those small plots as well. They added seriousness to the issues that this drama wanted to address.About the FL, I think she portrayed her role very well. She looked perfect as someone who had gone through so much in life and became older earlier. If you go through so much at a young age, your beauty bound to fade away and her casting was perfect for the show. Though I wish they could have dress up prettily at special ocassions but I still feel that the kind of style was her character.
She and Kyungho complimented each other so well and complete the drama. From bickering with each other to falling in love with each other, this couple gave us all kinds of butterfly emotions in stomach.
I also loved how the drama came to a perfect ending with all the characters falling in it's place. The best part was how mothers came to an understanding about their kids and how su-a, who was the most stressed one found a friend in Geon Wu. I am so happy that Hae Yi and Sun Jae was together as well. Our babies grew up so well.
For now I will say that this was the best rom-com of 2023 yet. I am sure we will get more rom-coms this year but for now, this will be on my top list. If you're wondering to watch or not, I will say go ahead and give it a try. After 2 episodes, you will be addicted to the drama yourself.

BEST DATING SHOW EVER!!
I have never expected this show to be this good seeing that there was no discussion or comment about it. This show should have around 8.5-9 ratings, I cannot understand why it has so low ratings. Where is everyone? This is sooo good!!The cast is amazing. They're not awkward since the first episode and everyone is really nice. The flow of the romance is not forced as they don't have to send each other's messages like other dating shows or there is no mission to go on a date. Like you get to know each other and ask others for a date naturally. More like Terrace House feels than Heart signal. It's so natural and raw. More than that, the cast is so fun and interesting. Since all are musicians, they can understand each other's hardships and feelings towards music.
And I just Love Jaehein now!! She is the most honest and beautiful person by heart. Other girls are very nice soo, EyeD, Chahee, I just love the girls and their bond. For some reason, I am not fond of Songmin but other than that, I like the bond between the girls and the boys. They're so nice and seeing them together makes me jealous of their beautiful friendship.
And Damn!! Why Naktae is so cute? He looks so cute and handsome whenever he smiles. He and ID looks so cute together.
If you're wondering if you should watch it or not, Go FOR IT!! I have watched almost all Korean dating shows by now and I honestly liked this one more than the Heart signal series, especially for the reason of not having forced dates.

Best Rom-Com of 2023.
I loved every bit of this drama. Generally, dramas shows breakups as painful but the leads try to act cool. But this showed the true nature of breakup. When breaking up, you get to see the lowest of the person you once loved and lose yourself as a person.We have seen how she tried the hardest to being loved and when breaking up, we saw her breaking apart and let go of her perfect image in front of the world. Similarly, we also saw her grow as a person and su hyeok standing by her side and being with her at her worst. The ex was trash until the end and his ending was hilarious lol.
I loved how they showed the beautiful ending for all the couples. It was the best rom com with lots of laughter and hilarious moments. It's funny, sweet and makes feel grow as a person as well.

CUTE ROM-COM!
Unlike the negative comments here, I have come up with the positive review. When it was released, it was quite hyped at that time and I watched it ongoing. I loved it alot. It's romance part is sizzling with chemistry, the ost was sweet and in my playlist. Good music choice.Sunghoon can portray indifferent CEO roles very well and comedic at the same time. The fl was a simple girl with complicated family which led her engage in a one night stand. Years later they meet again as employee and employer. It's a simple cliche story with good execution. Many might not like it and feel stretchy but rather than binge watching, I will suggest to give time in between and watch it with an open mind. It's a cute rom com which will not disappoint you. However, if you're not a fan of rom coms or cliche plots, this might not be your cup of tea.

Watch this for a rush of sweetness. MUST WATCH
The drama started with a cliche that can turn off many people. However, if you watch through the first 2 episodes, you will start to like the story. It's a story of three girls who are around 26 and 27 and how they start to feel insecure as they age and eventually find their love. Generally in dramas, the ML in them are cold and arrogant to the FL and their relationships take a lot of time to build up. However, the ML here is a bit aloof to others but isn't rude or arrogant. Instead, he is very sweet and gentlemanly. Their relationship starts to build up by ep4, so you won't be bored throughout this series. It's not much slow-paced and a good watch. I like the stories of other friends as well, especially Wu Ying. That guy is so soft, I was literally crying while watching their wedding scene. The story was not much different from many dramas but the good acting of the cast definitely made it better. And since the episodes were fewer, it was boring for me.Cet avis était-il utile?

A MUST WATCH!!
I started this drama since it was one of the latest dramas and high school romance. I like this kind of troop but I generally don't have many expectations from such dramas. However, this one really blew my mind. It's a kind of drama that will make you laugh, cry and feel all the emotions that you have left behind. It will remind your crush in college and the non-existent love life.The sweet scenes will make you feel butterflies in your stomach. They're not too sweet but enough to make you swoon over the characters. If I have to relate it to other dramas, it's like a mix of with you and loves so beautiful. The twist is, the FL is intelligent, hardworking, and introvert here, whereas ML is a genius as always but an outgoing one. Their contrasting personalities were the main reason why this drama felt, even more, real and interesting.
Acting: For me, it's very rare to find actors who are not overly dramatic in Chinese dramas. However, the actors in this drama were just amazing, their acting and expressions were befitting the character and even the supporting characters were doing good. Considering how a rainbow is relatively new in the acting field and only has a few works before this, she really did well. She played a quiet, introverted girl character, whose smart and shows her growth. And for the ML, he made me cry many times. His expressions are just gold. His eyes are so expressive that even when he isn't saying anything, you can feel what's going on in his head.
Story: It started as any normal high school drama for me. It was just like With you, it has the same kind of theme as well. High school romance with the value of friendship and love. However, the actors made a great impact on me here. Also, the situations they have shown were rather relatable to me. The way they changed and how different circumstances made them separate from each other. However, in this case, Ding Xian's persistence really did impact their relationship, if not for her, I think it will be ZS to go back to her.

A MUST WATCH LEGAL DRAMA
It's been a long time since I watched a good Legal drama. This drama was not just a legal drama with thriller or suspense but more like living the life of a lawyer and how they're also just humans like us. They're not ridiculously genius but work their butts off to reach to that position. It was interesting to see the dynamic duo of two female lawyers who had very distinct approaches while working but one thing was clear - both were passionate about their work.This drama was so much relatable, I liked how they approached the serious issues like divorce and cheating in a very empowering way. In a life, things happens, not everyone's life and marriage is full of happiness and flowers but filled with challenges. The divorce to such emotionally tormenting marriages can be a new start, not the end. Meanwhile, some relationships can restart only after ending, and sometimes an end is inevitable. We have seen, both side of cases, favoring towards, male and female. Even CEG's divorce drama was shown with so much emotions. It was not about husband and wife but them being parents as well. Her husband was a scumbag and not a good and loyal husband but he was a good father, minus him being the cheater.
I also liked they didn't continue with CEG's love-line but rather focused on her work, her relationship with daughter and showed she didn't married him just for settling down but she actually loved him. And the way they shown growth in Han Yu Ri's character, from afraid to love to being in love with the man who supported her at every point. She was afraid but thanks to everyone's cheering, she took that brave step to accept the relationship between the two and how she cannot lose him, just because of her insecurities. This journey allowed her to look back into her life as well and her emotions. This was just a fun, healing drama for me. Reminded me of Hospital Playlist at times, though in different sense. HP was more loving, comforting while GP was more relatable, showed real issues that broken families can relate to a lot. And the way they didn't make things too serious, was enjoyable to me. I cannot handle too intense dramas so the interactions, between CEG and HYR kept me hooked to the drama, I loved their chemistry. It was so rare to see a completely FL oriented drama and loved it SM.

A must watch!!
Before starting this drama, I kept pushing it off because the story was not my type. I thought that it's just a zombie story and I am not interested in such dramas. However, this one is intriguingly amazing drama. If you watch episode 1, you want be able to drop it easily.First, the chemistry between the leads and their acting is so natural that you will fall in love with their charm and hyun joo's sassiness.
Secondly, it's not simply zombie story. It's about an infectious disease and the mystery behind it. Since we all experienced covid, we can somewhat relate to the methods. It's so thrilling to watch that a romance sucker like me cannot leave this drama. Also, park hyun sik and hyun joo's chemistry is making this drama even better.
