Very bad Rom-com

I just wrote one review for a drama I enjoyed a lot. And I never thought I would write a negative review but here I am.
If you dont mind watching a silly girl being despised by a despicable prince all over the drama just because you like fairy tales, you may appreciate. But if you are looking for an original plot, with misunderstandings being managed in a reasonable way, just forget this drama.
Sometimes in asian drama, ML acts as a jerk until the first third part (maximum half part) of the drama when he discovers he is in love and then we can see the « magic » taking place and he changes attitude toward FL . This is not the case, ML continues to be a jerk till the end. As she loved him & he was the crown prince, they ended up together. But I really do not think this is a happy ending.
I am just mad I did not drop this story in the first episode.
If you are a sensitive person, looking for a cute love story, this review is meant for you. Forget this one and be happy ?

Bad script

I enjoyed a little in the two first episodes. But then I started to jump. As the small parts I watched made me feel bad I had to go to the last episode and even the happy end was not fun for me. The script was twisted and artificial, I did not like it at all, even if I often have fun with plots with twin sisters. It’s all about lies, manipulations, misunderstandings.
So, even if the main couple had a good chemistry and the main lead is so handsome, I would suggest you to pick another drama.
I loved the actors, the actress is funny.
Any special comments about the OST.
And of course, I would never rewatch it again in my life. This drama really made me upset.

One of the worst dramas I have watched

I have watched some dramas where the main lead suffers from DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder meaning a person that have two or more personalities). It is a subject interesting me particularly so I tend to watch everyone turning around it.

However for the first time I regret the time I spent with this drama full of common places and with such a poor plot. The characters were so unappealing, nothing made sense , the situations were merely artifical in order to create the desired lenght of the drama.

I read the positive reviews and I wonder how could this be explained.

If you like melodramas about DID, you’d betrer choose the korean drama "Kill Me Heal Me" incomparably superior to this one.

Empty plot

I cannot understand why so many people put good reviews on this deceiving show.
The first episodes made me laugh and I thought it would be a light rom-com. FL is an intelligent woman who was dumped by his college lover just before the engagement party. She met our handsome ML who is a wealthy boss of a great hotel and helps him to cope with the complots in their professional environment. Obviously it starts with misunderstandings and a love and hate relationship , it passes by an awkward and pkatonic cohabitation when ML looses his job. This rich’, nice and extremely handsome man (34 y.o.) actualy had never kissed a girl before he met our FL. Would you believe this? But it is a drama, we can accept it.


This prince seems to have a major problem: a very very bothering sister. She is not only psychologicaly disturbed but the future wife of our FL’s ex. Minutes before their engagement party with our FL he texted her to informing the break up without any explanation.

When the sister-in-law and FL’s interacts it turns to something unbearable for him and for the public.

Then we shall waych many misunderstandings, office betrayals, situations repeating or occuring at random to keep 40 episodes. I skiped a lot but looked at some parts because I’d like to know why the ex had left our FL and married a boring and crazy ex-patient of him, given that he is a psychiastry and seems to be a nice guy.

****Spoilers ****

Though there was a reason, it was not develloped. So it seems he was threathed by a patient and he thought he was responsible for her mental health status because of an accident . But it is not logical and very obscure since we do not know which woman he loved. It would be hard to believe he fell in love with his wife and forgot his former lover. But at the end they want us to believe it happened and the issues with our FL were briefly exposed.

There were funny moments though.

Beautiful story, fluffy moments, with a wonderful ending

Spoilers, be careful.

English is not my native language, so please, apologize me.

I really loved the story, even if I shave skipped some parts. I often find chinese drama too long , I prefer short shows with less than 25 episodes. Besides, as I am highly sensitive, i avoid parts with conflicts that are clearly fillers caused by stupid misunderstandings. Anyway, I watched most os it and I was literally in love for the two male leads.

ML was sweet, intelligent and handsome. I was mad with him during their rupture in the middle part, but this happened because this drama shows the best Second Male Lead ever seen. He was also handsome and we cannot be indifferent to his unconditional love. His moments with FL were so beautiful ! Oh, this drama should have a sequel in which 2ML have a happy ending with FL. Anyway the incredible ending for the main couple is unforgettable for me, I shall not describe it because you might melt in your armchair while watching the final surprise.

Just be prepared to cry in the lasts episodes, but it is ok since we have later on the expected happy ending.

I enjoyed the music and the images. I could rewatch some day, but I had never rewatched a drama until now.

Very weak

I find this show very bad and i do not understand high rates.

We have a domineering woman married to an infertile man and she decides to make an in vitro fertilization without discussion with her husband. Crazy but the weirdest thing is that he asks for a divorce because he thinks she cheated him. She does not explain him maybe because it is hard to know which is worst, cheating or deciding for the baby alone. This is our FL. She meets a sweet guy and it happens she will be her boss. To change a little  the common place where ML is an overbearing CEO bullying a poor FL, we have here the inverse situation  and  thr cool ML is humiliated all over the show while treating this unbearable woman so well. 


  It happens that all female characters in this show are disgusting in my point of view. Except for one , the female for the second couple and guess what? She dies at the end!


So you will find a boring "almost sister" acting as ML’s wife, an agressive FL hurting phisically and psychologically ML, the rich ML’s aunt who is as nasty as FL and opposes to the  the main couple’s relationship . ML ex is as bad as FL ex. 


Then we will watch our main couple bickering all the time, the first kiss hapoens in episode 31 (over 44). At the end of episode 32 we have them finaly as a "sweet" couple but it does not last . They soon break up and only at the end, they will be together.


The other two couples have boring plots.





And unfortunately, the biological father is no other than our ML. It would be much stronger if it were not the case. Love is such a powerful bond, he could be a loving husband and father without a blood link.

Reliable emotions from the actors

This drama reminds me some artistic chinese I have watched two decades ago.
I loved that ML is not a prince or a rich CEO. It was recorded in such a beautiful setting in small cities. We feel we are seeing true China. ML is a great guy since the drama starts and his evolution is plausible. I do not understandwhy most drama writers like a 180 degree change when a horrible person ( ML are quite often egoist, even narcisists) falls in love.

Actually, I do not like to cook so I was never hooked on cooking dramas, but I really appreciate this one.

This story is not plenty of common places or artificial situations. The problems they meet are mostly likely to happen, like a difficult step mother that finaly loves the wife and nasty family members dropping by. Of course, FL has an envious rival but she eventually gives up once they get married. And so on.

Their love scenes, specially in the begging are very natural just like real life. I loved the couple simple shy attitude before their relationship started. I was enchanted by their sweetness.

Hope you can understand my English.

So far the best drama i have watched upon now

Kill me, heal me is definetly my preferred drama up to now, I have been so addictef that I have already rewatched it, even if I prefer to discover new things rather than rewatching. Indeed, It took me some months to dedide to watch it,because I was afraid it was this kind of heavy plots, only aiming to make us cry.

What do I like most about it?

First of all, the story. The plot is different , the character suffering from D.I.D. will showcase seven different personalities developped from a childhood trauma and he will be helped by a female assistant in psychiastry and they will eventually fall deeply in love. We will not find here the toxic 2FL with childish and possessive behavior , an usual cliché in asian drama. The 2FL will try to conquer ML but she will not make damage to FL. ML and FL will have a mature relationship, in spite of their intrinsic difficulties caused by sad background and family”s adversities. FL is an intelligent and attentive to ML. The main personnality of ML is also sweet and respectful to FL. Their love is so cute and intense, beautiful to be seen.

Second, the actors. Ji Sung ’s acting is stellar, his personnalities are so perfectly constructed, he goes from the comedy to the intense drama, the strentght of his gazes. And besides he is so handsome, so charming. The other handsome actor, Park Seo Joon , is also great in his role and it is delightful to see both playing together, their scenes are unforgetables. I found that Hwang Jung Eum was very funny, but sometimes her play was over-acted or not convincing, specially as she cried. But her personnality added a touch of charm to the movie. She is quite charismatic. I also loved the kids, I suppose director’S work was outstanding.

Third , the OST. I listen mostly to classical music and jazz in my daily life. And even if the style of music is far from what I eat, this OST hooked in my head, it was really perfect to the movie. I want to learn the lyrics little by lityle, because it is in my head & heart, but too fast for my absence of Koreal langage level.

Besides, the main characters were beautiful and well constructed. The ML’S personnalities were so impressive, so rich. As well as the childhood relationship between main lead couple.


/*SPOILER*/


The ending is also original and pleasant.

I will surely rewatch it again one of these days.

A precious jewel

A touching love story where we find beautiful and realistic characters, good actors and a wonderful OST.
I was deeply charmed by this story, very different from most asian drama. without the common places we are used to.
Another midas touch in this small drama is our ML singing. Kun Kengkarnka has such an enchanting voice and the songs were amazing.

The story begins with a nerdy girl meeting a free-spirit musician after being left by her boyfriend. He is touched by her suffering and he she asks him for dating her during 5 days in exchange of a Beatles t-shirt . She wants to date him because she wants to know if opposite people have more attraction than a couple formed by similar people (just as her formal couple).

He is generous and plays perfectly the boyfriend’s role. I think she had a low expectation because this was a « fake » relationship.

Attention Spoiler:

Even if one of the leads presents amnesia, during the drama, it happens in a realistic form. Memory is gone but feelings stay, as it is in the real world. I hate when in a drama, one leads forgets the existence of the beloved one, changes feelings or personality, just to compose a plot where the other lead must go to hell. Have you noticed how asian screenwriters love amnesia and in second place prosopagnosia (inability to recognise faces) ?

But the best is the sweetness of main leads, specially ML. He is so respectful, sweet and easy-going. Oh, how sweet to be able to avoid these dominating CEOs.

Ending Spoiler: Yes, we have the expected « Happy Ending », a very beautiful ending by the way because it is sensitive and very plausible. but prepare your paper tissues to cry.

Precious Storyline, delicate characters and realistic relationships

I enjoyed this precious drama, very different from the others I have seen.
1- The beautiful poems , perfectly chosen for each situation/episode. I must add that being an old lady very fond of the music existing in the Korean language, I was so happy to hear this lovely poetic lines in their native idiom.
2- The main female character enchanted me. An intelligent, hard-worker and very empathetic physical therapist who had a positive and direct attitude in life and showed a great love, dedication and respect to each of her patients.
3- There was not an annoying and possessive female lead to improve the main leads relationship.
4- All the stories in the plot were interesting
5- The relationship between the main leads was respectful and there were not stupid misunderstandings. They had a good chemistry and ML is so handsome!!!! FL is also a beautiful woman, I think.
6- I think actors were in general good in their roles, they convinced me well.
7 - The plot shows the human side of a paramedical service and the relations between characters 8 sensitive and realistic.
8- It is a short drama, I really hate dramas with 50 chapters where in general, they lack inspiration and repeat the same clichés like amnesia, breakup forced by a family member or ridiculous misunderstandings all along , as well as
scenes in repeat mode to recall memories.
9- It has a happy ending.

I found very interesting in the beginning however for me the last 5 chapters were hard to follow.
Besides, I did not get interested in any of the two other couples.
Concerning the main couple, they are both beautiful but I think their chemistry was very low. It is a pity.
But overall it is a nice rom-com , misunderstandings being rapidly solved. We find some common places as usual.
As my husband is a mathematician, I am used to a small awkwardness in a partner, just like spending two hours in the supermarket to buy little stuff, because it is hard to choose between two or more products.
I was convinced by the actors, but the romantic scenes lacked of passion, in my point of view.

Yes, it was far beyond my expectations!!!

Indeed, It was a great surprise for me! I thought it would be a second or third class drama, because it seems to be a low budget production, with actors not too famous. However, I am so addicted to the original and funny plot . Ando also I appreciate that male lead is always kind to female lead, there is no humiliation as in many asian drama.

I cannot stop laughing when the two "brothers" meet.
If you enjoy light wuxia romantic comedies, you shall not be disappointed. I hope it continues in the same vibe, since now the drama is still ongoing.

I will not describe the plot now. I wanna just write down a short reccomendation because I almost skipped it.

I apologize for my poor skills in English.

Have fun!

Deceiving plot, poor characters

I have tried to complete the show but the characters are too boring, specially FL , 2FL and 2ML.

I often enjoy Thai rom-com but this one seems very poor. So, I do not understand the good ratings and if as it is sad it will become worse after episode 17, it is preferable that i stop now.

This being said, there is only one thing I have appreciated : the first kiss, it was really hot. But without a good plot it is hard to wait until the couple will be finally together. Maybe other steamy scenes would happen.

Anyway, if you love hot romances with cooking scenes and beautiful food, this could fit you. But it is really nothing compared with the unforgettable drama « Dating in the kitchen ».
