I want to give this a higher rating closer to 9, but the last few episodes was just such a downer. I also did not like the ending. It's purely my personal wish but I wanted this to have more seasons.

The best thing about this drama is the cast. The two main leads are hilarious. The supporting cast is also great, including the guests. The story is not that great since it differs from episode to episode, so your mileage may vary.

Overall, I would check this out of you are a fan of either the main leads. Otherwise, as much as I love this drama, you might not like it due to it's quirkiness, and pacing issues down in the later episodes.

This is a drama with great cinematography. The story isn't bad either, but definitely falls off in the later episodes - maybe even halfway. The only thing I don't like is the music selection - I prefer more melodic, orchestral music, especially for historical dramas.

Overall, the production quality is great imo. Some of the camera shots are amazing.

The characters are fun to watch in the beginning and hooks you in. Unfortunately, it gets very melodramatic around the halfway point.

The cast is great, even greater for kdrama fans, especially for fans of good-looking male kdrama actors. They seem to have got them all in 1 drama.

One of the best Korean Dramas out there. Quality from all over the place. From casting and acting, music score, cinematography (especially Cinematography), and even the story - amazing quality.

What really makes this Drama special is the amount of quality it has. The Cinematography is really great. The music is also great. The best part is of course the characters, the surprising chemistry and the relationships.

The story sounded generic when I first read it, and it might be just a little bit. However, this drama is one step above in all aspects. You have to also pay a bit of attention to the background and other images you see on screen. It's actually very well written.

Just a fair warning though, lots of crying, especially near the end of the series. But then again, what's "drama" without some crying (there's a LOT though).

This review is for both Season 1 and Season 2

This drama is not for everyone. The romance is very different and not your typical romance.

My favorite thing about this drama is the cast. Everybody is great. The best thing is the banter between the two leads. It's really not your typical romance drama. it's very slow but meaningful. In fact, one might find this boring, and I can understand that. Just know that it is very different form your usual rom-coms.

I mean at some point in Season 2 (I think in the opening), you are watching a scene where the two main leads are talking/bantering for 10 minutes straight, no cuts to other scenes/characters, just them talking. Is it boring? maybe? but I found it charming, sweet and very heartfelt.

I'm a bit biased on my review because I found this drama when I was looking for a different kind of rom-com. It's worth checking it out in my opinion if you want to try a different type of romance and family drama.

I'm not going to give a high re-watch value because the entire series is slow/calm-moving. Like I said before there are scenes where the main leads just talk for a good number of minutes while drinking.

Great cast muddled with subpar writing (story) and script.

I was really looking forward to watching this Kdrama. From reviews I've read, I thought it would be different than your usual Kdrama rom-com. I was even more interested when it was mentioned in other drama's comment section or in viki's timed comments.
Instead, I found this drama very typical or "run-of-the-mill". I don't know what everybody else saw differently. Other than the main male lead not being a rich heir this time around, the story/setup/premise is pretty much the same as your usual asian drama.

One very good thing I must say though is the character development. It is handled pretty well in this drama.

I found this by accident on Amazon Prime Video. It's quite a surprise. It's a good movie imo. It's worth checking it out if you are into Samurai Period dramas. It's not an action movie though.

The cinematography is great, acting is good, but really hard to judge because the movie is set within a movie/drama setting (if that makes sense).

The main actor doesn't speak much because he's been a side actor his whole life (both in the movie and in real life). The main actress is great though. She actually is a skilled chinese sword practitioner.

I think it's mislabeled as a "Documentary", but there is some insight in the movie on how Japanese period dramas are made. It also shows the life of "extras".
