awesome!

this Drama is funny, romantic, dramatic and full of Surprises. you'll never get bored. the plot Is interesting and even thou the trope "enemies to lovers" has been explored many times, this drama does a good job at not falling into kitsch cliches. the acting is really good and by the end of it you'll even start thinking "what..another plot twist?". the romance is on point and the actors make a good job. highly rewatchable. there is something for everyone to enjoy. the only point I was kind of disappointed is that there is not really a "hot" scene between the main leads, but that's nothing new in the k dramas.
lots of real kisses thou. (not the usual still and stiff kisses you get in many dramas).

mmmm... not exciting.

from watching the first episodes I was anticipating something really spicy, scandalous. rich people with nothing to lose and lot of power to create scandals but I was quickly disappointed.
the drama really kicks in 3 episodes from the very end.
I ended up skipping a lot of scenes and flashbacks.
we all know the plot. bad guy tries to seduce an innocent girl because of a bet he made with his childhood friends but ends up falling in love with the girl.
nothing new but also nothing wrong with it. the fact is that I was expecting more depravity from these "tormented" characters but the story feels really teenager level of drama.
I wouldn't recommend it but I don't to bash it either.

slow start... but it gets better

this drama started off really.... boring!
I must admit that I was almost going to ditch it. the first 5,6 episode are sooooo boring but it gets better after.
the middle part was the most interesting. we get some adrenaline thanks to the whole kidnapping drama and we are able to follow the splitted life of Robin and go seo Jin.
I don't know how accurate the drama portraits the did sindrome but "drama wise" it was compelling and captivating. the main actor did a decent job at keeping the two characters separated from one another.

towards the end it gets pretty emotional. I cried during the last 2 episodes.
this drama is not extraordinary but if you don't have anything on your watch list, it is worth a watch.

downside: I didn't particularly like the main female protagonist. the actress was fine but nothing exceptional and the character didn't really have that much depth to it.
the main theme songs are pretty redundant.

if you like funny comedies that's definitely not one of them.

I don't get the high rating.

I was really excited to watch this drama. I heard many good things about it and the rating was super, but I was quickly disappointed.
this drama is really boring! I skipped so many scenes I was almost tempted to leave the drama halfway into it.

we follow the main leader which is born super strong due to a curse. she tried all her life to help people without letting the world know about her powers.

it could be a good premise but the curse is almost never addressed, only briefly, there is no depth to it.

in the first episodes we get introduced to whom will be the main leader's romantic interest. at first the series tries to imply a "love triangle", but this plot line is abandoned shortly after. the "friend" never gets a real chance even though boon su has been "madly" In love with him for years. no trace of doubts, not for a second.

the president of the ainsoft is kind of a "quirky" character which sometimes Is endearing but many times appears as caricature. he is so over the top. I skipped so many scenes where he basically talks to himself about how sweet his girl is, how cute she acts, even though boon su does literally nothing.

the secondary characters lack in personalities. her best friend, which we know nothing about except that she's from Busan; her brother , which has no depth and a "out of the blue" relationship with another forgettable character.

the whole gangster plot lines was totally unnecessary and frankly boring.

the jokes were corny as hell.
the Indian monk.... I don't even know what to say about that...

the main point of the drama should be the kidnapping case... but that also falls flat. we never get a real motive. the culprit liked a play...and that's it? no backstory, no motives..

let's not forget the "video game" stuff. maybe once in the drama boon su plays a video game, but we are supposed to know that she LOVES games and has always dreamed of creating one...

I don't know why so many people liked it.

the actors are good but the story just isn't there.

don't watch if you have a brain

I watched this drama for basically 2 reasons:
1) I wanted some japanese listening practice
2) I am a masochist.

if you reached season 2 you probably already watched the first one and let me tell you... they are basically the same thing.

we meet again naochan and ueharakun and nothing changed.

NAO is still a dumb, selfish obsessed girl that acts like a 10 years old kid.
uehara Kun is still a bear incapable of expressing emotions, still treating NAO like shit and caring only about himself.

I get that these two are the main characters but I find them so unlikable. everyone is in lobe with them for some reason and surprisingly everyone is a better match for them than the other lead.

NAO has no live. she only thinks about uehara Kun. even when talking to other people the things she says are said bevuase ahe is thinking of uehara Kun. basically, she doesn't care about other people's lives unless is something she can apply to herself. she has an idea of how a romantic relationship should look like and uehara Kun, unlike other characters, is unable to give that but she persists for some reason.
she is basically fixated on her first love and that's it. there is no other reason for her to like this dumbass.

uehara Kun is incapable of having a romantic relationship. he struggles to show affection even after almost 2 YEARS OF DATING.
he never thinks about NAO unless someone is getting closer to her and remembers she exist. basically it is a possession thing.
he only treats her kindly when she is already on the ground and other people tell him NAO is struggling.
at least unlike NAO she seems to have a resemble of a life outside of nao.

the other characters have little screen time but could potentially be more interesting than the main couple.. but sadly... they get involved with these 2 dummies.

the drama is boring, repetitive and the most annoying part is that there is no doubt they will end up together even though it doesn't make any sense.

I know I know, it is a shoijo manga and I'm not the target audience. I get it. but I still think there is much better stuff out there for young kids. this drama is just dumm and frankly far away from educational or being a "coming of age story". there is nothing to learn from these two.

this drama...made me mad!

I was really enjoying the first half of the series.
it all takes place in a school where Bek ho rang, our protagonist, is an "insta celebrity" and has many eyes on her. she doesn't seem to be that approachable and often spends time alone while her peers idolize her or just straight up criticize her out of jealousy.
one day, someone from her past start threatening her to reveal something about her past and she freaks out but decides to join the school radio club to find out who This person is.

so far so good. the series starts hinting at something really "horrendous" that happened in Bek ho rang's past but when in the last 2 episodes the truth starts to come out.... I got really mad.

spoiler:
Bek ho rang was the victim of a bully.
and that is where I got mad.
first of all the "bullying" was not cool , of course, but is was not so horrendous as described.
during the series she meets her supposed bully and doesn't fling a bit.
admitting that she was bullyed would save her sooooo much trouble but she just lets people's mind run wild about what happened. so much so that people think she is the actual bully.
I get to a certain degree that it is humiliating to admit something so personal but Bek ho rang brings it to such an extreme that it made me mad.
she pushes away her only friend and stops talking to her because of that, she lets everybody talk shit about her, believe that she is a bully, she lets her comments online run wild which is insane since she is an actual Influncer and has contracts and cherry on top, people usually get expelled for this kind of behavior..
I don't really get it.
the second bully (yeah there is another one) is bat shit crazy and no one does anything to stop her.

at the end, the drama is not that bad but it's not that good.
I'd say the best characters are actually the secondary ones.
it's a cute story about a girl becoming more welcoming towards others but .... it's nothing groundbreaking.

lovely drama!!

the gumiho trop is nothing new but this love story was really sweet, well portrait and funny.

the main male lead is gumiho who has reached his 999th years of age. he has left just a year to become a human or he'd disappear from the earth.

the male female lead is a young history Student who accidentally bumps into our gumiho and shallows the gumiho marble, which he needs to gain energy.

they both agree to live together in order to take the marble out of her body and save her from death.

this forced living situation leads to a romantic relationship.

that's the basic premise of the story, but the real force of this drama is in the chemistry between the actors. the drama is full of sweet moment that really warm the heart. despite the "age gap" they are able to adjust to one another and grow together.

they are both likable in different ways. the gumiho may seem cold hearted but is really affectionate in his own way. he is charming and naive and the same time. the main female character is strong, unapologetic and isn't afraid to be her true self.


the side characters are nice and not shallow as they usually are. especially the other couple of this drama give us funny and sweet moments.

overall this is a story about overcoming struggles and give all our selves for the one we love.

the drama is full of romantic but also funny moments.
highly recommended

Boring

That's my first time ditching a drama 2 episodes from the very end.
The plot revolves around two childhood friends that reconnect in their adulthood.
The female lead is ashamed of how she became and when the male lead tries to meet her after years she asks a friend of hers to meet him instead lying about her true identity.
Our protagonist "undercover" starts working at the childhood friend office and tries to hide her true identity.
The "fake girl ends up catching feeling for the guy she is misleading and that creates some misunderstandings.
That's pretty much it.
Nothing new or innovative.
I don't get why Koreans are so obsessed by their childhood first love of when they were teenagers.
The main lead is an asshole towards our protagonist but she is madly in love with him. He ignores her colleague that loves her and is a much better fit for her.
He is the only highlight of the show.
The side stories are frankly boring.
Nothing particularly intriguing or romantic about this drama.

good start ..boring end

I saw many positive reviews so I decided to give it a chance.

the start was really good, nothing innovative, but a good story line.

the main female lead works as a secretary for the main male lead. she realises her whole life is committed to her work with little time left for her personal life.
when she communicates her will to leave the company the main lead slowly realises he cannot live without his precious secretary.

it could have been a good starting point, but forward in the story, it's clear that he was already in love with her from the very beginning. he hired her specifically because of their shared past. so, the whole "I don't know why I don't want to let her go" from the very first episodes doesn't make any sense.

the plot thickens when we discover that the protagonists were both held captive as kids by the same woman and developed an "obsession" for lack of better words, about finding the other kid that shared a traumatic experience with them.

after the first half of the series which includes the "kidnapped" plotline, the drama becomes really boring. nothing of substance really happens and the protagonists only talk about how much they love each other. the " slow motion falling into his arms scenes" are unnecessary copious.

the only good thing about this drama is that if you are a fan of the main actor, you won't be disappointed. he s undressed in many scenes, acts cute, talks how a "perfect romantic boyfriend " should talk.

if you are looking for a "cheesy drama" with lot of kisses this drama will do .

overall all is not "bad" but it drags out for too long.

I finished "crazy love" before this and It was much more fun and entertaining.

it's good....but not excellent.

I was really curios about this show because honestly I really struggle in finding Interesting japanese dramas.
this has (or had) a lot of potential but somehow it manages to be .....meh.

the story: interesting. a young man manages to evoke a yokai and to bond with her experiencing love for the first time.
the yokai though is on her mission to find the five families that contributed to segregate her fellow yokai and therefore kill them.
hachi, the protagonist really cares for Izzy (the yokai) but doesn't agree with her "methods" of freeing her friends.
that's basically the plot in a nutshell.

the acting is really good. the music, the photography are also enjoyable but what is really lacking in the script.
the funny moments are not really funny, the tense moments are not really tense. I get that this is a short series and developing characters and plots takes time but everything is too much superficial.

don't get me wrong it is still enjoyable but it feels liked a missed opportunity.

the last episode gives away the fact that the story is far from over and that a second season should be on the horizon but as for now , June 2024, nothing seemes to be confirmed.

give it a watch if you want something light.

an absolutely lovely gem!!!!

boy did I like this drama.
it is very short so I managed to finish it in one session.
this drama is so so so so sweet and I cannot stop smiling after finishing it.

the story , which is very simple, revolves around min (let's call him that way, I am so bad with names) who is meeting a friend in a bar. they talk about the last novel his friend wrote and discuss about what is an happy ending and all things around the concept of happiness.

the friend ask min what he would do to find an happy ending and min gets magically thrown back to his teen ager years.

he meets Cha woo (let's pretend that's the real name), who is the protagonist of the friend's novel.
min's mission is to help Cha woo to find happiness and that's where the action starts.

spoiler: this drama is obviously mainly about love but also about loneliness, hope, desperation and many other themes. everything is handled lightly but not dismissingly.
it is a very sweet and enjoyable drama. you never get a Moment of boredom.

trust me a random stranger on the internet.
if you need to watch something heartwarming just give it a go, you won't regret it.

not a masterpiece but I was surprisingly hooked.

the main picture advertising this drama is misleading . the storyline in simple but it is not a "romantic comedy" as depicted.

there is a sort of romantic triangle ( not really) but is more on the tragic side than the comedic one.

the story revolves around the main fl whose is engaged to a police officer.
they both share a common friend which has always being in love with the main protagonist.

the police officers loses his life but his heart gets transplanted into the FL's boss.

the drama mainly revolve around the this "heart" and the wrongdoings big corporation are willing to commit in order to make money.

this series has not really big explosive moments but it manages to keep you entertained until the last single episode which is not a given for Korean dramas. they usually tend to fizzle off near to end but this was interesting enough.

the acting is good even though I personally didn't feel any "romantic connection" between the main actors. it looked like they were comfortable with each other bu no sparks detected.

overall is a good watch.

fricking boring

this drama started out pretty cute and entertaining. we have the typical forced cohabitation story and that's fine.
boy and girl found themselves forced to live in the same apartment due to a scam and they start liking each other.... or do they?
the ml is a bear , barely speaks, unable of expressing emotions od thoughts, to give explanations or whatever would save his ass from misunderstandings.
the FL starts out quite cute but at the end of the drama I frankly detested her.
she should be the "naive" light hearted character but is too dumb to be true.
an example: the guy wants to move out become they technally shouldn't be together and he wants some independence. the girl understands that he is proposing to her... like how?
the aren't even a couple. she is crazy about him and I frankly don't know why. he always treats her like shit even when they are together. never a single gesture of affection. only when she is really upset he tries to make amend.
he says her basically ad a nuisance and literally bares with her and I don't even know why.
at times she seems to have some light Stockholm Syndrom. even when he is a fault she takes the responsibility of guilt on herself.
beside of all of that, nothing. of substance really happens.
the side characters are one dimensional.
they either love the protagonist or hate them because they are dating each other.
the drama lasted way too long and the last 4/5 episodes were really dumb and unnecessary. they wanted some plot twist or confrontation to happen what it was dumb.
not recommended even for the target audience which I guess are 13years old.

boring.

I ditched the drama two episodes from the very end. I know it is a very short drama but it was sooooo fricking boring. nothing new on the horizon.

the story ( if we can call it that way) is about a shy guy who was excluded from his peers opening up after meeting the "nice" girl from his class.
her "trouble" is that due to her parents jobs (I guess, it's not that clear) she has no free time to spend as a normal teenager and stays home all the time .
they start meeting at her house and spending all evenings together. they obviously fall in love and .. that's basically it.
the side characters are really irrelevant. there is not much happening.
it is cheesy in a very boring way.
I saw better high school dramas and this really add nothing up.

skip it, you wont miss anything.
the only cute thing is the main character that looks like a lost puppy.
