How perfect is this drama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen hundreds of dramas but nothing come close to the ML's acting skills in this one. I wasn't a huge fan of the ML before but after this wow......... respect.

All casts are exceptional but Park Ji hoon sets the bar little more higher. In k-dramas, generally they all have a bad habit of having a 'liberal democratic ' way of punishment. Basically just humiliation for the accused. But for the victims those are just ways to say even if you were at the wrong end of the barrel, you cannot and will not have the same power/choice as them. But this drama rewrites everything and that's exactly what sets this one apart from others.

I really wanted to add some recommendation but then nothing came to my mind. Nothing of the same genre came close to this series as a comparison.

So excited looking forward to season 2.

First love of a Robo doc.

ML is so bad in acting. The entire drama is hanging on the FL and her cute acting.

Sometimes you feel ML could be replaced by the new japanese humanoid robot and that robot could do better. The production is just pathetic. A classroom, same road with trees, a hostel room and a college front. They keep rotating these and its just too boring. The script felt like a hangover conversation of silly things.

They tried to be funny : its not!
They tried to emotional : its not!
They tried to cute : its not!

I am not saying not to watch this series but keep your expectation low so that you can enjoy this a little bit. FL is the only good thing in this drama. She can act.

Another Gem from the Kdrama Industry

What a perfect blend of food, family, life and romance genre. The acting is top notch. Every episode is a master piece of its own.

I loved how each episode made the viewers move closer to each characters and are made to think from their perspective. This is as real as any drama would get and they did it in style. While the ending is obvious they made sure for each character to get closure just as much as for the 'departed ones'. The ending also is also brilliantly beautiful and satisfying. The BGM is perfect not too much or any less.
The FL did an amazing job. I used to avoid her dramas since I saw 'mine'-snippets. But somehow the plot caught me and didn't identify see her in the poster. The first episode itself pulled me in deep that I followed through every episode at the earliest possible.
I can assure you this series is worth your time.

Lost on Poor execution !

The core idea was great. Production was amazing except the VFX/effects, which btw s**ks. They dubbed for the ML! Why ??


ML is an amazing actor but I felt bad for his voice double. Many area had editing issues like scene direction fell odd. Some times the flow broke and the drama end 10 min was like mash up of 3 - 4 episodes. Overall satisfaction is very low.

I gave 7.5 because of the production and casting. It is still amazing that with such a cast, production and story they did such a sub par job. The most poor aspect was the VFX which was so bad that I wanted to drop this series in the beginning. You will feel such amazing potential in the first few episodes and with each episode they systematically destroy that presumption. The whole story could be done in a few episodes. In the climax, they complied few episodes to the last 10 min.

What could have been ended up like this.

The most C**kolded Drama I have ever watched!

I hate to break it you but this is a drama you ' SHOULDN'T ' watch if you are in a bad shape in ur life or have depression.

The production and casting is superb. The story is amazing at the same time hurting like hell. The acting was top notch which will leave you in despire. You will feel rooting for the person you shouldn't and end up devastated. How love is used as a tool to manipulate is perfectly narrated in this story.

Some scenes are too exotic in the sense that they could do psychological damage to children under 18. I would definitely suggest this drama to more mature audience as it indeed a great work not to be missed. Keep an open mind, you might enjoy this more than me.

Interesting but slightly lagging

The story telling is very quick to establish the victim and the torture she endured but the story wasn't paced in the next 7 episodes. Weak Hero series 1 was very meticulous in each episode that the whole season was some how balanced between each characters and each characters were clearly defined. But here it seems they wanted this to drag so as to make it to the 2nd season(9 -16 episodes). The insignificant details were boring.

Acting wise they did a good job. FL is a legend in K-drama industry so its kind of expected. Maybe too much is expected? I have never seen SHK losing composure in acting though. Production also seems amazing and BGM is fine. Sometimes it does feel like they pushed it too far with the gory details for the drama's popularity.

Nonetheless SHK fans won't be disappointed.

Why? Why? Why?

This is the new trend of the chinese drama industry. Feminist boss (FL) going around screwing (messing with) people below her.

The most toxic people in our current era is not the modern feminist rather feminist men. This drama written by a man to suit the feminist audience just proves that. Rather than watching this drama from an audience pov, you would find it more interesting watching this as an observer to the menace that was created to curry favor the modern feminist ideology.

I hated the fact that the FL boss couldn't be professional enough with their employees. She was an emotional mess. I have seen many drama's which depicts FL as an exceptional boss who keeps professional life separate from personal. This was just a failed attempt to do that. The student was an interesting plot which later turned out to be 'Master Oogway' in disguise. The rich insecure wife and her husband never resolved their problems but were stuck together as a result. The cake maker was just pitiful.

Funny? Yes. Novel Idea? Yeah!

Its is a good series but it feels empty for some reason. I had a good laugh but it felt dragging sometimes. The cast is good and production wise its also great.

Its definitely not for binge watching. After the first few episodes the drama falls back into the cliche thinking of introducing 'our common day ideas' as modern thinking and drags it thoroughly. Some episodes could be combined to form a single episode.

Needless to say its a modern day feminist drama where all men are dumb and stubborn but its lets out some stress the women felt in the those eras.

Crash landing a luxurious flight.

The drama started on a slow pace which after a while caught quickly and reached real peak of the story around episode 20s which, unfortunately, 'crash landed in the Hudson river'.

The acting were okay except some places as some shot really didn't match the flow. The production was also quite good as they brought out the spot sense. Cast could do slightly better in terms of some characters. Even then they did a great job and I enjoyed most of the drama.
The drama had a great flow of interesting events which later the story's lack or because of the direction they messed it up towards the end. Overall It's very interesting to some extend in the drama.

Cartoonish ways of Drama Making!!! PLease don't waste your time.

Just leave the disgusting CGI , bad production and pathetic BGM the utter disappointment is the direction. The casting is a flop and acting likewise. It felt like sitting through a documentary with kids' background score.

I have seen the 2015 series and hoped well they will make it better this time. No! they made is worse. The ML was okayish first few episodes and then like others his character was not watchable. The production seems expensive sometimes but if it doesn't compliment the story why are making it? The FL is fine sometime she is the reason why I kept going.

Please don't waste resources like this. If drama was supposed to look like satirical then you failed the mission.

Most excitedly waiting for season 2

I love this series so much that it redefined the wuxia genre for me.

The cast does an impeccable job of portraying the characters and direction is also amazing in capturing the emotions of scenes.

I heard the FL had to face lot of flakes by 'true fans' of the work but I absolutely loved her acting. She did exactly what that character would do and she did an excellent job. To be frank I even liked her character more than ML. I really really hope she returns for next sequels.
The ML also did an amazing job but was missing that masculinity. I am not saying beefing up but in some scenes you could see his clothing sloppy over his small shoulders. It could be a clothing/designer issue but they did an amazing job with other people so maybe ML need wider shoulder?

Anyhow this is a series worth your time. I promise you this is worth it.

A movie with an IMPACT

I felt depressed after watching this movie. The whole premise is a twisted play of life in the dark sense.

The one thing that stuck with me is that the character Xu Yi was violated and didn't get any justice. After watching the movie I felt li er & Zhang Yang have no right to make that final comment on Xu Yi's life or how his life might be now. Both of them played out his emotions like a play thing and expected everything to fall in line with their expectation.

The fact that Zhang Yang turned out the way he did makes it more unjustified. He ruined someone who trusted him and destroyed someone else and he gets to live the life he wanted.

Xu Yi ended up like that because of what happened to him but what happened to him were due to the deep emotional left by many others. His mother killed herself, his first love turned out to be trap set by his most trusted friend to destroy himself and the girl who had a crush turned out to be a silent instigator. His half brother succeed in destroying his younger half brother on many levels. His family(parents), his love life, his career and his future self.

Something you know is okay but will tire you out!

Somehow FL has a serious look typecasted on her. I couldn't feel her genuinity in her role. Some scenes felt so plastic.

Main drawbacks are cliche plot and poor production. Why did the FL had to suffer such ordeal in order to be united with ML? FL and ML could have been better as characters if they were shown atleast trying to move on with new relations. The reconciliation plots are a disaster. Some relations don't even make any sense.

The only episodes that could connect with audience is around early 20's(episodes). That too are pity scenarios where they did stretch everything and anything as much as they could. If I could delete one character from this drama that would be ML. Not FL. Even with all the flaws FL was far better convincing than the ML.

A Dog's (Doormat's) story!

Personally I loved the plot but hated the script and direction.

ML is like a dog going around adding more and more bad experiences. Like a doormat he kept getting walked over without clearing up misunderstandings.

He practically lets everyone walk over his life and accepts that as norm. I should say this drama even with huge potential was an ocean of triggers. Throughout the entire story its explicit that ML is ineligible personally, professionally and emotionally to the second FL. The second FL is justified well but ML is not. And that's one of the main drawbacks of this script. Also the FL is a 'liberal bully'.

'Speak up! Stand up for yourself! Don't be a P-cat ' were some of the 'not-so-innocent' words came out of me while watching this drama.

If I could express the lesson from this story it goes like this 'Don't be a push-over. Ever. '
