The struggle of being an idol.

I don't think many people realize it but the focus of this drama was NOT romance. It was the struggle of being an idol and the cost of their image in public as one.

I only wish they had removed the whole love triangle part and focused purely on the idol drama, as they never fully explored or resolved that aspect, leaving it feeling unfinished. But aside from that, it was really good. The ending might have been a little rushed, but it was a happy one, which made me extremely happy! I'd rate this drama a solid 8. The episodes are shorter than those of other dramas, but they’re still very valuable and memorable. I would definitely re-watch it if I had the chance.

No plot, mid jumpscares.

If you're looking for a good story, this isn't the movie for you. There's nothing crazy about it, some characters might have had a bit of an interesting backstory and relationships between each other … but the male lead was completely missing one. There's way too many scenes that make you question why things happened the way it did.

If you're just looking for a scare, the only thing you'll be getting is mid jump scares with basic horror sound effects and music. The amount of work put into the CGI for the monsters and ghosts are not very good for 2021.

I do not recommend this movie to anyone. I think it would've been better off released as a drama as it doesn't explain the plot very well with the amount of time given.
I started this movie for Chani and Park Yoo-na, but was disappointed with horrible everything.

Very cliché but still good!

This drama is about a girl named Lim Joo-kyeong who got severely bullied throughout elementary school because of her looks. In addition to that, she even got bullied by her close relatives. They called her ugly and asked why she had to have gotten the ugly genes unlike her younger brother and older sister. This caused her low self-esteem. When she moved to a new school she was introduced to makeup and watched a lot of makeup tutorials before mastering the art of it. When she went to school she became popular right off the bat, but she is still terrified of people seeing how she looked bare faced.

My only issue with this show is how inaccurate it is to the Webtoon. In the Webtoon, she was Seo-jun's girlfriend for a period of time whereas in the Kdrama her relationship with Seo-jun was nonexistent to save time. Besides that, the script was well-written and the casting was done perfectly! The actors did such a great job with what they were given.

I would give a lot to watch this for the first time again.

A tasty watch.

What got me hooked onto this drama was the use of food. To Chinese people, meals are very important. However, it's not just about the food, it's about the time spent eating together with family, which Su Ke Lan brings up a lot. By sharing a meal, you can have a better understanding of the people around you. Music, visual arts and culinary art is a mean of communication, love and happiness.

The plot is very straightforward: a girl meets a nasty boss and eventually falls in love with him. The boss becomes attracted to her because of her talents and wisdom. Both characters have flaws, and they grow together to become better people.

The best part of the show was episode 14, after that I think the writers were trying to focus more on the relationships of the side characters, but the things that happened between Yu Hao and Su Ke Lan were rather predictable.

Overall, if you were to ask me, I would definitely recommend this drama to someone, especially if they're a foodie. This drama makes me eager to learn how to cook properly and become more thankful for the home cooked meals my parents can provide for me.

The best day of my life is watching this drama for the first time.

This romance was well put together and definitely worth a watch. There are a few episodes where they pull apart because of misunderstandings, but to me, it only adds to the story.

The male and female leads have great chemistry. The cliché story tropes are saved by the handsome male lead. When the male lead finally confessed his love, I was grinning from ear to ear. At the end, when the photo album of Xie Shi and Xu Mu's relationship was shown it was a good cherry on top, a 10/10 summary to this wonderful drama.

I wouldn't say this drama is a comedy nor a drama. I think it would best fit into slice-of-life romance. Sometimes, those romances are too boring or jarring, but this one found the right balanced and managed to maintain it to the end. Watching this show will make you envy Xu for having such a man like Xie.

Extremely long, poorly paced, and quite boring. DO NOT WATCH IT.

The script could be improved and the acting could be a LOT better. It’s a complete waste of Cha Eun-woo and Park Yoo-na’s talents.

I think the main message of this drama is to stop comparing yourself to other people and to stop caring about what other people think but it wasn’t done well.
It's about a girl named Kang Mi-rae who underwent multiple plastic surgeries to become unrecognizable right before university to get a fresh start because she had to endure bullying throughout middle school. She hoped that she'd be able to get new friends and more opportunities. But she ended up getting bullied for having plastic surgery.

The drama was really good for the first few episodes but it started going no where. They dragged out the fact Mi-rae had plastic surgery for so long. This drama would NOT be 16 episodes if they hadn't done so. There are also a lot of long pauses particularly with Mi-rae and Kyung-seok. Mi-rae takes a lot of time to think of what to say and I don’t remember for sure but it’s kinda like the camera is panning towards something very slowly. Kyung-seok is mostly only like that when Mi-rae is around though.

The fact Kyung-seok liked her since middle school is not very realistic because why hadn’t he said anything or tried to make friends with her? What if they didn’t end up going to the same university? It’s just a matter of luck that he got a second chance to let his feelings known, and he still manages to almost fuck it up. Mi-rae is so blind for not noticing it earlier because Kyung-seok makes it so obvious that he likes her.

I tried my hardest to like it but I couldn’t.😭
