I AM SO HOOKED IN THIS DRAMA. Even if it's over for like months now, I still rewatch some scenes and some behind the scene videos.

For the cast, Jang Dong Yoon and Kim So Hyun are perfect pair! I can't get over them that I am wishing they'll date in real life! I know Jang Dong Yoon is an amazing actor (and extra adorable and cute) as he did so well in Mr. Sunshine and Just Dance, but he is extra good in this drama. The way he projects as Nokdu and Lady Kim is so convincing that you'll head over heels for him. As for Kim So Hyun, no wonder why she's so persistent in this field. She is really a gem when it comes to acting. For, Yul Mu, I just wished it was done by another actor because JDY and KSH are young-looking and Tae Ho is mature-looking. I have no issue in his acting, just his looks. I just think he is not fit to be the third wheel. (He looks like KSH's older brother, haha!)

For the story, it's so cute. And I love the ending so much! I love that they didn't go to the ending that you know, the lead gets to be the king etc etc.

This will always be on my Top 5 if not Top 3 of my Best Kdrama list.

I am hoping they'll cast JDY and KSH together again! Oh please! Let them win couple of the year award!

Não existem pessoas ruins, apenas pessoas que fizeram escolhas ruins.

A trama conta a história de Je-Hyuk, um famoso jogador de beisebol que está prestes a assinar com um time americano, até que um acidente ocorre e ele descobre que irá perder sua liberdade indo para a prisão. Ele defende sua irmã de uma tentativa de estupro, e o estuprador acaba falecendo.

Comecei achando que seria uma série pesada por se passar em uma prisão e por já começar desse jeito, mas a verdade é que todos os episódios contam com uma BOA dose de humor. Com personagens carismáticos (saudades, Pancada), a autora nos mostra que não existem pessoas ruins, mas sim pessoas que tomam decisões erradas na vida.

A série fala sobre resiliência, amizade e amor. Mesmo em um ambiente que parece nada ter a ver com isso.

Os episódios têm em torno de 1h30 (juro que por mim teria até mais) e a trama se aprofunda em cada um dos personagens para conhecermos suas histórias a fundo. Total o estilo da autora Lee Woo-jeong, que também foi responsável por Reply 1988 e Hospital Playlist. Inclusive, se você viu esses dois, vai se surpreender com vááários atores atuando nessa série também.

Minha única decepção foi o último episódio não ter mostrado MUITA coisa dos personagens que passaram pela vida do Je-Hyuk. Mas fica na imaginação, já que segunda temporada que é bom, nada. Coreia, por que faz isso comigo?

Whatever you do, DONT watch this

Literally so bad that im afraid i wont be able to put it into words. I was looking forward to this so much bc of Podd/khao/mike/toptap and the story looked promising so i watched it as it came out every week on gmmtv's youtube. (i rarely do this! I usually wait until its all aired unless im really looking forward to it.) I was extremely disappointed by the end, i was flabbergasted, left SPEECHLESS. I cannot believe gmmtv wasted Podd and Khaotung's talent down THE DRAIN like that, its just disrespectful. Compared to countless of other shows khao has been in and Podd's astounding performance in dbk, it was really hard to believe these were the same people. I cant believe gmmtv put some of their most talented actors in this dumbassery of a show. I want to cry and bleach my eyeballs, someone pls make me forget this ever existed. "Lord please forgive me for beating this bitch's ass today, lord"

Love or Friendship?

You can read my profile and know that I would like this reality series. It was all about finding romance and how to win the affection of the person you like. The time line was a little short to get to know each other and make a decision on how you feel about a person. However, I thought the concept of choosing who you liked and who you wanted to go to Paradise was unique and interesting. In the end it worked, sort of.

As you watch you immediately find yourself picking who you like. I did that but changed my mind during the 8 days on the island. Other than seeing them eat and talk a little bit, we didn’t see much of them in Paradise so it was definitely G-rated. The only kiss in 8 days was a tiny peck on a cheek. So, it leaves you a little confused but you do see relationship form. How long they will last who knows. Maybe we’ll find out in Season 2.

I really don't know where to begin with Well-Intended Love. First off as you've probably already looked to my rates let me just say, I wasn't sure what to rate any of them, honestly. The music I don't remember much about but I do think it did repeat (which I'm fine with).

So anyways, the story was okay I suppose. The beginning was where they so randomly meet in a sord of funny not pushing it type of way. I'm surprised they didn't include any part of her ex boyfriend coming back from the beginning or her ex friend which I seemed to forget about and the beginning changed a bit after a while which you can remember if you think about it. They did forget to add some parts I feel like such as her acting.

Acting: Very cringing honestly. The lead actress made similar facial expressions and sometimes her character could be annoying. I also hated how sometimes she'd take like 15 seconds to say a complete 3 word sentence or tell the truth. The acting wasn't that great honestly and even the lead actor just seemed so free with his acting and didn't seem that good + his assistant made the same face throughout the whole show and at first I thought he'd be gay but was not, I feel like they should've explained why he "didn't like to be touched".

Cast: They fit their characters perfectly fine. Especially the Assistant and Best friend!

[a little spoiler]
What I wish: I feel like we got enough of the husband's best friend but I did wish for a little more since he was my favorite character and I loved the side relationship like that! :)

Sweet and Enjoy-able

Mini drama series yang mempunyai cerita sederhana, menghibur, dan menemani waktu luangmu terutama di malam hari ; inilah series yang sangat cocok. Menceritakan seorang novelis BL Liu Li dengan segala macam masalah kegalauannya mengenai putus cinta yang membuatnya mengalami art-block untuk berkarya menulis cerita novel BL, kemudian dia menemukan seseorang yang membantunya melewati itu ; dialah seorang boss pemilik kedai mie yang termasuk koki di dalamnya, kisahnya perlahan membaik ; dia sekarang mampu menulis cerita novelnya dengan lebih menyenangkan. Cerita sederhananya mungkin seperti itu, namun sebenarnya tidak sesederhana itu, kalian perlu menontonnya langsung ; ini sangat bagus!. Dari segi dialog mudah difahami, alurnya jelas dan sederhana, ringkas dan padat - sejujurnya series ini tidak bertele-tele ; walaupun punya konflik yang sederhana, namun tidak membosankan, resolusinya juga jelas dan tidak berlebihan. Romansa dari series ini sangat menyenangkan, dibumbui beberapa scene menyedihkan, mewarnai series ini menjadi lebih dinamis untuk disaksikan. Dari segi warna, memiliki warna klasik vintage dengan warna yang tidak terlalu konsisten, terkadang terlalu vibrant, terkadang terlalu pastel. Series ini memberikan pengalaman sederhana mengenai proses move-on, serta menemukan cinta sejati. Beberapa scene mungkin bagi sebagian orang menganggu terutama dibagian masalah Gu Jing dan orang tuanya. Menurutku Series ini rekomdasi banget untuk di tonton.

Eu realmente amei esse drama, e eu até gostaria de dar um 10. A única coisa que me impediu foi detalhes que me incomodaram no decorrer da trama, como por exemplo no que diz respeito à típica imaturidade das personagens (especialmente do protagonista).
Apesar de poucos pesares, a trama é encantadora e intensa (algo que eu adoro). O drama te prende demais e o romance é lindo.
Lee Jun Ki estava ótimo, acho que é o drama em que ele está mais bonito, está lindo e talentoso como sempre. Com certeza, um dos melhores k-actors em minha opinião.
Gostei da IU, e da personagem dela. Aparentemente, a personagem mais madura da trama, e mais sensata/equilibrada junto com o lindo do Baek Ah, que também é uma personagem que me agradou muito.
Personagens mulheres também deram um show em seus pesos na trama, elas me emocionaram muito, em especial a concubina Oh (foi a única vez que realmente acabei chorando no drama). A gisaeng Woo Hui (par do Baek Ah) também me emocionou muito. Sério, tivemos vários príncipes e reis nessa saga, mas as mulheres é que foram rainhas das cenas, mais fortes do que os grandes reis.
O final um pouco trágico e solitário, não me agradou muito, mas foi plausível.
Valeu muito a pena assistir essa trama que foi tão "shock" em diversos momentos. É intensa e maravilhosa.

I haven't been able to find anything that I love as much as Goblin. Literally the only complaint I can think of is that the story drags a little bit when I wanted more elsewhere, so I wish that time was used a little better, but it's really only a criticism when compared to itself because the story is mostly amazing and well paced.

Other than that, I can't think of anything I would change. The acting is amazing, the styling and cinematography is gorgeous, and the OST is hands down my favorite of any drama.

Don't let the age gap freak you out, it serves a metaphorical purpose in the story (the motif of the seasons) and we as the viewers know that no one is being taken advantage of.

This is one of those shows I have to stop myself from comparing every other show to, because if I did, very few things would measure up.

Very good show (But! last 2 episodes were rushed)

If you want to enjoy this show, you cannot be a perfectionist, and you will have to keep some logic aside. If you do so, you will be guaranteed to like TKEM.

Character Development:
All characters directly jumped from one feeling to another without any explanation. Basically no character development.
They had too many elements to explain. They put their feet in all directions like profound timeless romance, evil villain, mixed-up timelines, past characters, the logic behind how the magic works but none of these were completely justified because those last 2 episodes were rushed and they could not explain everything and close it with a cute ribbon. Because the show was good for 14 episodes, my rating for the show won't be dominated by those last 2 episodes.

Chemistry:
Also, there was no chemistry between the lead couple throughout. This was because there was no scene that showed any initial spark between them.
People out there are saying that Kim Go Eun should not have been cast with Lee Min Ho. You can even say the other way around that Lee Min Ho should not have been cast with Kim Go Eun (#psuedo-feminism). Kim Go Eun is really pretty and I definitely felt she looked so much better with Kim Kyung Nam.
There was also some good amount of bromance. But even that was one-sided!

Cute but short!
I must say this show is pretty predictable but it is super cute!
I decided to give my rating because it was cute and the actors were great. I do wish they would have expanded more story wise. I think they did what they could within 8 episodes. Had this been a 12 episode show, I think it would have given the characters a bit more time to develop and that would allow us to love them and understand them more.
Overall though it was very cute and worth the watch. It won't take long to watch and you'll finish the show feeling happy. What more can you ask for?

chemistry of the actor

like to watch this drama because it has comedy and family elements, interesting because there is an element of suspense and comedy that managed to attract attention, the main actors also have a very suitable relationship and managed to make the story very suitable for all groups. Apart from that, I like to see the side characters who can bring their characters and their partners are also quite mature, I hope this drama will have season 3 , thus in the 2nd season is also very interesting to watch. Please do continue the season, even though the story will not related but please bring all cast will the same do not change them.
