I am extremely surprised by seeing the amount of hate this drama is getting. I mean its not even that bad.
it has a nice comedy, romance and thrilling experience.
Both the protagonist did a great job, acting/cast was a 10/10. park bo young and park hyung si are both such sweethearts.
You will fall in love with the characters.
Music was also good, I really liked the heartbeat song, it was a bit catchy.
Okay I agree that the story was a bit all over the places, and could have been more definite. They mixed a lot of plots and tried to make it interesting but still you can watch it.
It's a sweet and simple drama.
I can rewatch this because the chemistry between the characters is strong.
Also if you are looking for something not too much, just something simple to laugh and swoon on,
strong woman is for you.

I have to say I totally fell in love with this drama. But it does have Park Bo Young in it and she floors me! There have been so many reviews on this I would really not go into much detail about that except a few key points. Park Bo Young Plays Bong Soon, the super strong heroine that is so adorable and lovable that when she cries a piece of you dies inside! Park Hyung Shik plays Ahn Min Hyuk or Min Min, Bong Soon's handsome lovable boss, he is actually a pretty fun love interest I definitely rooted for throughout the show. Besides this there were quite a few interesting characters that were super fun or you would just like to disappear like Jang Mi Kwan who played Kim Jang Hyuk the main sicko bad guy! I love Bong Soon's family, the dynamic between the mother and father was quite amusing. One person who keeps popping up is Ji Soo who plays Guk Doo, Bong Soon's childhood crush, he annoys me only because he keeps getting in the way of Bong Soon and Min Min. But from this point on I will refer someone who has been friend zoned as being gukked lol. One other character I would like to discuss is Kim Won Hae who plays Kim Kwang Bok [Baek Tak Group gangster] and Oh Dol Pyu [Ainsoft employee]. Now I saw him in the drama Black and loved him as the hard ass detective in that but oh my he plays a different part in this which was hilarious, totally loved it!!!!!

Anyway I had a really great time watching the whole drama unfold especially the romantic interests between Bong Soon and Min Min, Min Min was hilarious later in the relationship you could tell he was really smitten with Bong Soon but really who wouldn't be. It's funny, more than a few times in the series when Bong Soon rescues people she is described as and angel when people give their account to the police and really that may be a perfect description. Just like in Oh My Ghostess it is hard not to fall in love with Park Bo Young's characters, she just is that damn good!

Now I'm just going to sit around missing all the characters wishing they make a part 2 but knowing they probably won't :'(

First of all: If you don't like exaggerated special effects and a woman who doesn't need help of men, then this is not your drama.

And now, let me start praising this wonderful drama.

Storywise, it's a mix. You won't find one consistent story, it's more like multiple storylines progressing separately and slowly connecting to each other. I personally, in comparison with a lot of other people here, though that this was really well done. I loved the mix of funny, cute and super tense and gloomy scenes. Since yes. There is a crime story and in my eyes it was a really great one. I also am a huge fan of the "a woman who's not weak and helpless but actually is there to save the dudes" concept. And even tho she's like that, the romance is super adorable and cute and even as a not hardcore romance fan like me, it was really enjoyable because their chemistry is great.

The cast was really good, there wasn't a single actor I disliked, everyone fitted their roles and did a good job. I also loved how their offscreen chemistry was really good. And btw, I think this drama had one of the most impressive antagonists (the kidnapper) ever. The actor was amazing.

And now. The soundtrack. It's really really really really amazing. Each song is great, and there truly are a lot of songs in this two-part OST.

So in total, this was a cute, funny drama, with a lot of exciting and shocking scenes. For me it was a perfect mix and guys I mean: A handsome man being the CEO of a gaming company? Dream husband. In general the setting in the gaming company was just perfect, I loved all the funny scenes and cracked up quite often. And let's not forget about the bromance scenes....which were quite interesting...
Thank for this drama, and may you always be the superhero the world needs, Do Bong Soon.

i'm genuinely not averse to tonal shifts or meshing seeming unalike genres together, i'm really not, but this show and the ppl behind it i'm convinced had no idea wtf they were doing or where they were going with this show. so much doesn't work from the comedy to the pacing to the relationship building. (why is there a love triangle when it effectively forgets about it and the secondary love interest isn't really a convincing threat by episode like four? why is this show involving a serial abductor and wannabe killer when it could just singularly focus on the inept mafia members, which fit better tonally with what it's kinda going for? what IS this going for? i don't know! do you?) there are glimmers of potential and occasionally the cast, particularly the leads, push through to sell a scene but nothing can rely on a single, inconsistent element for long.

the core problem, the more i examine it, is and was the decision to make this a romcom and serial killer thriller when...this does not have the range, i'm sorry. it does not compliment nor work with any of the themes it does establish, which are paper thin, no the comic-y feel it exudes almost constantly. it should have, frankly, been something more akin to a slice-of-life with a heroine who is clark kenting it to the best of her abilities and branch from the hijinx that can entail from that.

instead we get a drama that's only thing it chiefly knows about itself is to be homophobic. it's such a shame because there is potential and a number of things to work with here.

Did I watch a different show?

Did I watch the same show as everyone else singing their praises about this? Or did I watch a different version of the show that was badly written, badly acted and where the main couple both as a couple and as individuals separately were annoying AF?

I wanted to start with positives, but I genuinely could not come up with one. I tried.
Now onto what I didn't like. I don't normally notice these things but the color scheme was very bleak, so visually I already did not like it even before getting into the story. But not to worry: the story was bad as well; I didn't like the superpower aspect right down to the first scene and how it was handled; I didn't like that it took so unnecessarily long for her to take action, how she let the guy slap her, the way she talks under her breath, I generally don't like the way FL was written/portrayed, but more on that later. I hated the screeching gay character, that was so hideous, unnecessary and insulting. It's especially tone deaf to make a gay character so hysterical given that not too long ago homosexuality was considered a psychiatric disorder. I didn't like the casual mixing of a serial killer subplot with a romantic comedy, like why? Because it tries to do multiple things at once, the show doesn't do any of them well, and the story as a result feels hollow. Oh and it has poop jokes.
I didn't like the three main characters, I don't know if it is down to the writing, directing or acting, but this show has stained the actors for me, so much so that I don't want to watch anything they are in. I was watching Our Blooming Youth because I thought the story would be interesting and the only way I could do that was by skipping PHS scenes, but it turns out that that show is also badly written and I dropped it anyway.
Starting with FL; I realized the reason I dislike her so much is because she is the product of the fetishization of young girls; everything about her says teenager: from the way she dresses, her voice, the way she mumbles, her posture, the way she interacts with the men around her and they even give her a child's desk at the office. The ML is the stereotypical eccentric rich guy doing eccentric rich guy things, who again acts like a teenager and that is all there is to him. Both of these characters are uninteresting and I don't understand why they would fall in love, but then again I'm also not interested in why they've fallen in love. SML only exists so FL can project her fantasies onto him, also he has one facial expression throughout the show and that is of someone who is perpetually trying to work out a difficult equation.

Genuinely I don't understand the praise this show gets. It might be the worst thing I have ever seen and I have seen The Room, at least that was (unintentionally) funny.

This is actually a good korean drama. Not that great, but it's good.

The story is not that great actually. However, I do like the idea of DBS who is a strong woman and it is focused on women empowerment. I just don't like how there are scenes that is actually not needed in the second half of the drama, makes me feel like the writer got lazy on making surprising and unique scenes, there are also cliche outcomes on some scenes, that's why I already expected what is going to happen and it really did. The gang scenes are funny at first but in the second half of the drama, it is pretty annoying now. But other than that, the last 2 episodes had a great improvement. I just wanted unique that can make the viewers go "WOW!". There are some gay jokes that is a bit offensive but some of it are funny. The funny scenes really made me laugh out loud though and some scenes made me cry. What I love the most are the couple scenes. They are so cute and they have a great chemistry. When it comes to the cutest couple, it goes to DBS and AMH. I would've wished that they minimize the gang scenes and focus more on the couple and the thriller scenes.

I love their acting! I love the chemistry of Park Bo Young and Park Hyung-sik. It felt like they are couples for real that their acting is so natural. THANK YOU FOR PAIRING THEM. Park Bo Young is the cutest woman alive and Park Hyung-sik's smile and stare is so adorable, cute and charming! Other casts did so well at acting too.

Some songs are cute, some songs are great, some songs are not memorable.

I would rewatch for the 2nd time, but if I can watch for the 3rd time and so forth, I would skip some scenes that are not needed. I just can't help but watch the cute couple!

The plot seemed promising, but the chaotic writing ruined the potential of this drama, in my opinion. The dark plotline with the serial kidnapper didn't fit in with the rest of the drama at all. It made the whole thing too messy, giving a weird feeling to the viewer, instead of completely pulling them into the story .
The cute moments sometimes seemed like they were coming out of nowhere, which made the blossoming of the romance feel a bit out of place. That was made worse by the love triangle, that was installed, but barely used (waaaaeee?)
By focusing on too many  plotlines with very different genres, the writers made it difficult to get into the story and I ended up finishing the drama by skipping most of the scenes.

I was also really annoyed by the underlying homophobia in this drama. I understand that homosexuality is a taboo subject in Korea and LGBT people aren't easily accepted by their peers yet. But I found the lame jokes and ridiculous portrayal of gay men simply embarassing to watch (and not funny at all).

The competitive relationship between the male leads  was fun to watch, but the love triangle was forgotten quite quickly, as Gook Doo got absorbed in the "crazy criminal" plotline.
The setting of the drama got me really excited at first (Ainsoft / video game making), but it didn't add much to the story in the end, which wasalso a bit of a waste.

All that being said, I thought the two leads were really cute and I did enjoy their scenes together (lots of fluff!). They made a really lovely couple and their cuteness is what made me finish the drama, even though I wanted to drop it.

Basically, I believe this drama could have been a great rom/com, if the numerous plotlines and inconsistency in the story hadn't messed it up. If you love cheesy romance and don't mind the messy writing / not always tasteful humour, you'll probably enjoy it.

Every episode felt like a chore I had to do in order to see the end of it.

This drama was excruciatingly bad.

Instead of focusing on the superpower of the main character and making good use of it to create interesting and funny situations. The writer tries to juggle too many storylines that go absolutely nowhere.

The love triangle is soon put aside to focus on the kidnapper's storyline. Which is boring as hell! Compared to the crime dramas we have in western media. This is almost childlike. What was supposed to be a thriller just becomes irritating. Very quick.

The gangster's/neighborhood redevelopment storyline also goes nowhere.

The romance between the main character's brother and his patient also goes nowhere.

The career pursuit of the main character is also so underdeveloped. It goes somewhere, but it is so diluted in the sea of other storylines.

And the superpower, which is something that is in the TITLE of the series isn't put to good use. It has absolutely no effect on the plot.

All the storylines that had so much potential are dropped just to show a dull crime story. With the most incompetent cops you'll ever see in your life.

Also, the main character had the oportunity to catch the bad guy midway through the series. She HAD HIM and let him go just because the writer wasn't done with him yet and there were several more episodes she had to fill with this garbage.

The result is a series that is overly long. Uninteresting. Boring. And a complete waste of time. They stretch everything almost up to the rupture point.

The only thing that really kept me watching were the funny scenes with the gangsters and my curiosity to see how this mess was going to end.
