expect to discover the paths, challenges, regrets, pain, burden of an realistic relationship
not to be so biased about this drama, even if many people hated it, but it was a pretty good watch. It's not everyone's type of drama to look forward into, from the beginning the drama has so much potential. Describes how realistic relationships represents about temptations, regrets, challenges, and burden represents their relationships especially the ml and fml. So, I'll try to explain how this drama ended pretty well, but an expected open-ending. Especially why I rated it a 9 out of 10. It must be given a try.Story and Plot:
So, the story talks about the colleague workers, starting how Ha Sang Soo started to fall in love with An Soo Young from how he entered to work in Nara Bank's Yeongpo branch. The story of how he ended up falling in love with Soo Young, the challenges from handling his work and his love life during the time he was falling in love with her. Up until they had unexpected consequences between the both of them, started to draw other's paths from having a relationship that they challenge to forget themselves from the way they looked at each other romantically. Park Mi Kyung, a college schoolmate of Ha Sang Soo, where she entered to the bank as a worker and falls in love with him until Sang Soo decided to work this relationship and how it would made him forget Soo Young. As well as Soo Young, who ended up with Jung Jong Hyun, a security chief who works at the same branch with them of how he confessed that she liked her. Then she decided to have the relationship and how she could get their relationship. That's how the story started to get messy, the path they decided to go with, the regrets coming in when they started to do what they decided to do, which is forgetting themselves from how Sang Soo and Soo Young developed misunderstandings and feelings of affection. Now with the story, i got a little spoiled from social media platforms, especially on tiktok, then I decided to go with the flow of this drama, with lots of expectations and guesses. Lots of twists, ups and downs, but then the sotry was realistic and fortunate.
Well, the plot seems to tell us about their background story of the characters, how the characters portrayed the story. When the moment I was reading the plot, the word "scandalous office romance" tells the drama well enough. but not that really noir and dark, not the other kdramas that I known. So here, the story and the plot was okay for me.
OST and Cinematography:
So, I'm so excited to type this part of my note/comment since the ost and cinematography gave so much atmosphere of every scenes. Before I forget, shoutout to the osts that gave the feels, Dice Game and Shadow Love. Gosh these two top osts from this drama gave it all! From intense scenes and cliffhangs from the ending of some episodes made me think twice that I should watch it asap! Overall for this area, a good editing and great timing with the osts playing each scenes that could bring me to the feels.
Character and Casts:
Well well well, here I am and I have so much to say with this area. Yoo Yeon Seok as Ha Sang Soo, hmmm it's my first time seeing him in my existence of being a kdrama fan, but he was so good for this role. I don't even know why kdrama land made him not receive any good roles for him like this, but actually he was so attractive with his role. With his character, hmm Sang Soo was pretty annoying tbh, but I get it how he wants to get into the way he want to live his life to be with Soo Young, and then he shaped his life between his working life and love life. How he managed to make decisions related to any part of his life, especially involving to each main characters of the story. phew I loved him from the beginning, ehem the actor I mean hahaha i fell in love with his looks :')) gotta look fro bts scenes after this. Now, with Moon Ga Young as An Soo Young, well with less emotions her character made me confused, because its like she made Sang Soo's life complicated, and she made the first move to make him confused and keeps on lying at him just to get away from his life and try to forget the things Sang Soo did and say to Soo Young. buuuut, in the later part, I get to like the way she decides regarding with her life plans. As well as Sang Soo :')) they were too good for each other. Moon Ga Young has a great role for this drama, but I guess she needs to make an impression for her next drama roles or like a new type of character that I might like her more as an actress. She has a little bit of potential tbh, and she is a promising actress after watching her from find me in your memory last year. Now i'll go with Geum Sae Rok as Park Mi Kyung, well her character was too greedy and selfish, craving for love and passion from Sang Soo, since she fell in love with him since their college days. She was really annoying, but gave me a decision to like her due to character development. As an actress, I saw her from Class of Lies, well no offense, i was not really rooting for her but then youth of may to her role, she gets so much better until the 3rd time with this drama, she got great roles. Not to forget to mention, she was a pretty good one. Last but not the least, Jung Ga Ram as Jung Jong Hyun, well the character was too much expectations from Soo Young, to their relationship to be specific. The way he handles his life tells me that he was such a jerk. Like he's more the asshole than the ml tbh haha. Soo Young deserve so much better other than him but I also felt bad at the same time because of how she gets pity with his future plans. Not with the actor, he was pretty good from love alarm 1 and 2, he also got the good role as well. Overall, the casts must have the great script to be developed, so that I'll have no intention to hate some of them, but all of the casts were good, with character developments made it better.
Overall, this drama was pretty good, but not to mention how the script was quite bad written. Some episodes especially the last few episodes were dragging. But with the story, even if I was never been involved with any relationship (still single from the day I was born haha), I could sense and feel the pain they had, from their temptations to trial and errors of having an relationship that must never happen, crossing paths, and regrets that changed their entire lives. They made me cry, honestly Sang Soo and Soo Young's relationship, I got wasted for the both of them, huhuhu wished it was a good ending in the other universe but again, a open ending to expect.
Good for binge watch, but not good for beginners, it needs patience and understanding. Great for time kill, especially the last eps were quite long.
Now on the brighter side, looking forward to the casts next projects!! Yoo Yeon Seok and Moon Ga Young, had so much chemistryyyy!!! rooting for the main casts other future roles!!!
This was a great series!
Gong Ki-Joon and Jin Ji-Won (Kim Yoo-Han and Jo Yi-Hyun) really had a good chemistry on screen and off screen. Love the two couples who really gave a good show to this drama. I also love some character developments in being arrogant, straigh-forward, mean, and many more. Thanked God I did not watched the other School's series except Who are You: School 2015 which is also a good series too! I really love the chemistry of the two couples which are the ml and fl lead (Gong Ki-Joon and Jin Ji-Won) and second lead couple (Jung Young Joo and Kang Seo Young). There were cliché scenes which are not that really cliché for me. This drama really tells me about achieving your dreams, the sad moments in our life that we might encounter, moments that we might get to regret things, and many more as this drama really explains how our youth today experience many things to encounter in the future as a teenager. Overall, this drama is really good and how I love this drama gave me good expectations. Recommended to beginners, and also good for binge watch too! Looking forward to the cast's future projects too! (especially the Kim Yoo-Han and Jo Yi-Hyun ;) )its ditto, choose between love and dreams
siri, play ditto by new jeans :'))well, the song represents it all. but the song is not part with the kmovie (just a fact, and the song is by my opinion since some says that new jeans' new release with the same name represents the movie, but its not haha)
i'll make this review short and concise since I need to explain further why I rated it higher than the viewers expected it to be.
I'll go first with the story, its more of a fantasy-youth movie that talks about choosing your dreams or love. I think it was like a fate to begin with, but the fact that the ending seems to be surprising that the ml pursued as a book writer based from his experience, but he chose his course as mechanism, until he realized that when kim yong saw han sol as his first love, the ending predicts that he choose his dream over love. While han sol and eun sung end up together, got married and had their own child which is mo ni, one of kim yong's commuication buddy (?), sharing their own experiences in college, with such coincidence and meet-up that unexpectedly never met each other until the ending, they met as mo-ni's future time. then that's where I realized that the book was a sense as well. The storyline seems interesting, but I think I would really recommend if this movie turns to be a 10-12 episode series.
The cast and the characters were cool! All the main casts where one of the rookies and non-rookies that i've been hoping for them to shine in their future projects. I was happy to see improvements, most especially to yeo jin goo (first impression of him was on Hotel Del Luna) and jo yi hyun (she was my favorite ever since AOUAD). Kim Hye yoon was still good at this drama after she switched roles from her mysterious-hopeless girl (movie midnight). Again, this was a must watch and hoping more recognition from the main casts!
Overall, it was a good must watch, but I guess you could feel a little heart break at the end because it seems a little unexpected for me. Recommended and good for beginners as well! :))
(sorry for the long review even if I told myself that i'll make it a little bit short, but I hope you guys understood the point that I made :< )
its a relationship that gave us a lot of lessons that we need to know as of now...
a two-timing relationship that gave her exes bad timing.let me explain how this web drama deserve a 9 out of 10 (other than a rating lower than 8). polyamory was very new to me. as her personality really shows about how she really loves to date men at the same time. well even if this drama talks about having a two-timing relationship, the drama makes sense of how Yang- Ji-soo really wants to get loved the way her character is. it seems that her romantic life seems to be more darker because of how bad she is (from the title itself.)
Yoon Tae Oh and Moon Ji Oh, no matter they did not gave another chance at the very end to have good endings, at that point in the last episode, that's where I got a little sad for them. I was just waiting for Yang Ji-hoo of who she choose, until the last 3 episodes seems to gave clues about how Ji-Soo ends up with, which is Kwak Hyeon Hoo (aka her 10 year best friend since high school).
The synopsis of this drama really concentrates of how Ji-soo enjoys two-timing which her character shows from the whole series. I like the plot since it was really far different from other web drama series I've watched so far. The cast were also very attractive, especially the fml, Byeon Seo Yoon since I've known her from her supporting role from police university, including Yoo Jung Hoo, who captured my heart as well from his handsomeness haha.
Overall, this web drama I think would be in a best way possible when your mindset would concentrate about how Ji-soo would encounter relationships that includes two-timing. I got interested to watch this web series because of the plot which is again, very interesting.
soundtrack #2, find meaning between love and passion through music and relationships.
Soundtrack #2 is definitely one of those underrated series and how it was also a different type of trope than the first season. I love how it goes and how it was really realistic to think about relationships as lovers. I have never felt the way the characters or even in kdramas, but I could feel the reality of this one. The first season was friends to lovers, but this one was from lovers to strangers, to vice versa. I love how the point of the plot was really present in their story. But not really comparing both seasons but I love their composed story in a different aspect of love. And also, really appreciate the development of the female lead from this season. How Do Hyun Seo grows apart from her past heartbreak, defining her purpose from her love between relationship and passion to music. Furthermore, the love story between Do Hyun Seo and Ji Soo Hon was a great chemistry and love their development due to hardships, passion, and their purpose. I'll not make this note too long, but in a short of time, I really appreciate the second season and how it delivers a good and comforting purpose as a viewer :)) How I wish it must be longer like 8 eps but it was just a short process of learning their path and where they belong back together... Added it to my favorites <3I really love the casting here. But felt quite sad not all had great on-screen time duration nowadays since kdramas nowadays only have short duration of episodes not exceeding 16 eps. I love Geum Sae Rok's role from here ever since my first encounter with her from a kdrama series as a supporting role from Class Of Lies. Love how she entered the main role!! I also loved her character from here and I don't think I hated her from the beginning because every choices someone could make has a purpose in life that even Hyun Seo can't blame herself from struggling.
Next, I love the two male leads, Steve Noh as Ji Soo Hon and Demian as K. I really can't tell them more about it yet since I discovered them first from this drama especially this short series was Demian's first debut role and I appreciate how I discovered him first and in an earliest time!! Phewwww Steve Noh was really handsome and I fell in love in his role from here and their chemistry with Geum Sae Rok was amazing! I really love both their roles from this drama and how they portrayed and played it well. Hoping that Steve Noh and Geum Sae Rok will reunite with a new romance drama :')) Rooting the main casts future project roles!!
Those where the reasons why I love this drama, and everyone needs to give it a try. I think patience is the key and try to learn and understand the female leads choices :)
an underrated kdrama this 2023 <33
i think about this drama as a fantasy rom-com kdrama that every episodes are a worth to binge watch because from the genre itself, it entertaining. But the fact that what brings this drama into fame is Kim Min Kyu's role. Has plot twists a bit and sometimes you could feel the tension and the chemistry between each casts. And it was a fun roller coaster ride full of emotions. To viewers only tip, I guess it needs lots of patience and understand the duration of the series most especially the story, I think it would give it a worth a watch + most scenes actually gives shape to the story.STORY/PLOT
It all started to a Pontifex Rembrary, who was known for his divine powers to save and heal people. He was in a kingdom to serve and follow Redrin's orders to do as a follower. Until an evil spirit (a devil) fights with him, until both of them entered to the realm world. Until he realized that he entered to the world, got possessed by an idol's body, which is Woo Yeon-woo from a member of an unpopular idol group Wild Animals, as he need to go back and remain his role as a healer entering the world, helping the struggles and group's fortunes after a disastrously live performance. Using his charisma, visual and divine powers, he became popular, and discovering the reality behind his religious group and the devil. Helping him was a former employee in ML Entertainment, Kim Dal who was a long time fan of Woo Yeon-woo ever since her past traumatic experience from her previous job as a worker in an entertainment company. As both Rembrary and Kim Dal met each other, they discovered the path of Rembrary as Kim Dal helped him from all his problems, until they fall in love and bringing back the justice that Rembrary wants for everyone getting involved.
From the beginning, the drama really tells me that it has tons of potentials. From the plot of where it starts till how it ends. I get interested in watching this drama because of it's plot and Kim Min Kyu was involved from this project. The atmosphere with the overall story makes it funnier and cute, especially the characters has development from the begging till the end. The 1st episodes and the last episodes were the most entertaining, But the middle part of the story makes no sense. Since it has only 12 episodes, I think it was better than the usual16 episodes every series since it would make the story more boring and the story might possibly get dragged. But overall, the ending was a satisfying one, I don't even know why this series does not reached 8 and above ratings. Well it was a good one actually.
CAST & CHARACTERS
I get so much attracted to Kim Min Gue's role from this drama. Ever since his high anticipated drama from a Business Proposal, his recognition was way higher than before. The fact where he also improved a lot, and he discovered a new role for me ever since I saw him and recognize from Backstreeet Rookie. From school 2015, he improved a lot tbh. ngl, his visuals and charisma never get sick for looking at him and stare like a long time hahaha for real he was so attractive every time he shows from any drama series. For his character, Rembrary was a softie and innocent one. Especially his existence was to save and heal people who were struggling. And Woo Yeon-woo was a dumbfounded for real haha. I like his role as Rembrary since it has more the matured mindset and knowing the path that he goes, and really love the chemistry between him and Kim Dal :')) Also, with the comedy scenes, he was too perfect to be part of another comedy series like his previous role in ABP and this drama, THI. Go Bo Gyeol, the first time I saw her in this drama, well I can't say a lot about her since I never get to discover yet some of her roles, but she has potentials since the way she brings up her role as Kim Dal. She is also pretty haha. Well for her character, it seems that I love the way she acts, the way her emotions gives tension and chemistry as well with Rembrary and the other casts. Lee Jang Woo as the devil, well he was very interesting. that the fact where he was the same as Go Bo Gyeol, the first time seeing him in this drama. His character has a development in the ending, pretty bad he decided to gave up because of his bad doings in the real world. Park Sang Nam as well from the last drama I saw from him, was TWENTY-TWENTY. Well he improved a lot that the fact where this is the first time I saw him in this drama where he fits from this role of being the bad vibe type of grim reaper haha. He and Kim Min Gue was a perfect match to fight for their lives for real. To the other casts, I love them so much, that the fact they made this underrated kdrama series that satisfies my kdrama fan heart <33
Overall, this drama was pretty good one. a masterpiece i guess, and underrated too! on social media, i don't see some articles related to this drama, or posts related to this drama, but I would definitely say this would be part of the underrated kdramas of 2023. Good for binge watch (since it is a 12 epsiode kdrama good to watch for 2-3 days), great for time kill as well, great for beginners and a rewatch for me.
Kudos to the team and casts, looking forward for their next drama roles!! deserve even more recognitions to come <33
sometimes, wishes come true to cherish till the end...
this drama was supposed to be my dropped dramas even if I've never started watching it but it seems the title makes it more interesting to look forward into. Up until I decided to watch this drama until the end, it seems this would be another kdrama I'll watch again due to its very comforting concepts and plot. It always starts with "how life is possible when things happen unexpectedly in your life, you'll might not know where you're life would make it till the end..."First and foremost, I love the way they made "their last wishes would be granted" even if others does'nt believe what they were doing but in fact they want to feel their patients in an hospice that they had the chance to live for the last time. This drama was something very different from the beginning, to their happiest last moments to cherish, until the pity and sadness comes to the end because they got to grant their last wishes until they enter a new life. I'll say, even if others would say "sometimes wishes are not granted" but we can't deny that we cannot say when is the right time to have that wish to be granted. But what the drama says, make it possible to cherish it till the end.
The plot seems very promising from the beginning until the end. Turning cold hearted to soft hearted, as well as character developments as well. I was not expecting the oldest team captain would end his life that way, and as well as I really love how they really treat the cast from this drama as if they are also really important to be part of the plot since it proved me how the story relates to the other experiences from the other characters having short time duration as well.
For the cast, Ji Chan-wook made me ask "Why he was casted from this drama? it's too far from his previews roles from other dramas" but then I realized until the end how he was a promising actor from me, proving that he can do more roles like this. Sooyoung was also a promising actress for me even if this was just the 3rd drama that I've watched but she was really a good actress from this drama. The other cast were soooo gooood! The other supporting cast, especially the familiar faces I saw, they actually improved a lot as well!
Overall, I think for me this drama would be better if it would have 12-14 episodes since it quite made it more longer, lots of twists as well. But what I love about this drama is how they would give you advices especially to people having a hard time rn atm. It feels like their lines made you think about how life would be precious for you to be thankful for. But again, this would be also one of my favs of how it gave me so much comfort. My tears and happiness from this drama was worth it till the end <33. Very recommended, good for binge watch, life-lesson drama, and good for beginners as well!
Rooting for the whole casts!!!!
like extraordinary you-concept, but definitely a web drama (bubbly type of genre) version of it
(sorry for the grammatical errors :") )I was watching this web series because they said it has a similar concept to one of the most talked kdrama series last 2020, extraordinary you. And well, this was a new updated one plus its not just about romance, its reflecting about decisions in life as well but through a fantasy concept. I like it actually, but I guess it would be nice if it has more scenes of discovering her story of why she existed other than because of her own decision of playing as the character of a webtoon series. But still I do love the concept, but it's more of a cute-bubbly type of genre that is similar to the kdrama series. I'll just make this note short since I'll be explaining what I like about this drama.
STORY/PLOT
First thing, the story tells about an Idol who is struggling about her career from fame and controversy, yoo jebi who unexpectedly turned into a character from a webtoon novel that she always read every time she gets stressed a lot. As she entered to the novel world, there she met her own character crush and the main male lead, je soo oh who fall in love with her from enemies to lovers. She met all of the characters from the novel, as her character was a villain turned to main female lead. As she ended up realizing her life from all the troubles she gets involved, with the help of the other characters, jin woo, shin han se, and lee dami. Well as the plot says, the story seems to be a well known concept like extraordinary you!! but then, since this is a web drama, I guess the concept is far from the drama itself. I like how it give me butterflies, especially the characters from the web drama too! But then, the story concludes of how their first encounter was, and that was when they were online chatmates!! How cute :')) Sadly, the other characters need to have an ending same with the main casts of their journey as they entered in the real world other than in the novel world :'))
CHARACTER & CAST
(i'll be mentioning the casts that I loved only :>) So there are two of them that are very known to me, especially the main leads. Starting off with Nana (from Woo!Ah!) as Yoo Jabi, Nana's acting projects are known to be all romance comedy with a bubbly character as always. I saw her for the very first time when she acted in a web series Mimicus with Jo Yuri!! Her characters are good ones and especially it has a bubbly personality because it really do fits her!! With her character, I think I do really find Nana pretty and attractive and her acting skills... hmmm need to discover her more her future projects soon, but still rooting for her since she has so much potential she could prove!! Then, here with have the handsome male lead from the novel and irl, Kim Jae Won as Je Soo Oh. Well I saw him first from a web drama series "Romanced" and from there I do really find him attractive and handsome as well! I also just discovered that he was also casted from a korean-philippine series as well directed by well-known actress director in the philippines Kristen Fulgar!! Wow, he chose this role as the attractive prince character from a novel and gosh he first with this role as well!! As his character, I do love it that the fact that he's like Haru from extraordinary you hahaha. A kind of clueless character but at the same time a heartthrob character!! Not that typical eye turner character that girls are falling in love with him all the time. But overall, his acting skills reached even higher a bit, but same as Nana, he must enter new roles that he never had to encounter it yet. And here, we have Yoon Hyun Sook as Jin Woo. tbh, its my first time seeing him in this role and I have less to say about him. His character is very loving and I do hope I could see him in his future drama projectsss! And lastly, the second lead who never gave a chance to be with Jebi, Shin Han se acted by Keum Dong Hyun. Wow I think he's an idol but his visuals are very attractive and I do really admire him so much! Hoping to see him casted in another web drama or drama series (plus I get to know him from this web drama for the first time hehe)
Overall, this was kind of a long note haha. But I do love how I gave an opportunity to watch this web drama and how I liked about how it was helping me killing my vacant time :')) But this might be way much better if the story needs to add more concepts like mystery and such. Also give ample time as well with the other characters to show their ending, they deserve a better treatment the same as the main leads :')) A good watch!!
Good for binge watch, really great for beginners as well! As I noticed, I think I'm getting old by these type of concept or genre of web dramas because next year I'll be turning 18 haha :')) but this was a great one tbh and how I wish I could have the same relationship as the lead couple like fate :'>
rooting for the casts!! hoping for better recognition!!
blends with every scenes, seriousness to craziness :p
This drama was underrated for me even if the plot (like some parts of the drama) was familiar. I was supposed not to watch this drama but do not judge the drama by its poster, it would bring you soooo muchhh tears of laughter :'D.First and foremost, this drama talks about a serious case of Han Jae-hee's brother who got killed by a professor who prevents the truth having an anti-social disorder. Then there's the handsome, crazy shaman, Nam Ha Joon who is a fraudster but the point where he made his shop, cafe minamdang to solve people's cases and troubles. For the duration of the drama, it seems to be okay with me since the whole series has interesting outcome every time each episodes ends. I also like the plot, but as what I have noticed it has the same type of twist with vincenzo (I'm not sure but I guess it's like that). But the comedy was very on point where its not that clingy to see. It fits where the story was in, and the fact that it fits to the scenes from seriousness to craziness, or in other words, the romance, comedy, and crime blends with the whole drama series.
For the cast and characters, I really adore most of them so much even if other viewers said that Han Jae-hee was pretty annoying where in fact she is really connected to the problem to the story as well. I like how the cast contributes the drama, because every scenes, like most episodes have funny scenes to make it very entertaining for me. The lead casts were so attractive and I like how Seo-In Gyuk proves me that he can be anything from his assigned roles from any type of genre in kdramas. I got attracted to all of the cast, not mentioning their names but we as viewers know who we appreciated them the most. Most of the cast, including the supporting cast has a great role to this drama because they are also connected to the case.
Overall, this drama was pretty good for me, but I think the director should consider the plot since it was too familiar for me to see. But, I like the way it blends to every episodes. Actually, I had so much fun watching the whole series!
Good for binge watch especially for beginners, a must watch as well! Looking forward to the other casts new projects!
something that every viewers might look forward to watch
Anna is something that is too far from any plots in kdrama land. this drama is different based from my expectations. there were no cliches, romance, just focusing on how lee yumi changes her life they way she lived during her high school year, until she grow up being a art professor. portraying what Ripley Syndrome really looks like. the plot was very interesting, to be fact. and this drama is something that other viewers might get some higher expectations, but in the end, it might be something interesting. bae suzy also acted this role very well! I was really impressed by her acting skills and most especially she proves me how she made her acting career very known to other kdrama fans. I think its not really advisable to watch it again, unless if you really would want to deeply know how and were things happened in each episodes, since it was a fast forward paced drama for me.Overall, the plot of the story seems interesting to look forward into. such a masterpiece, I say. But I hope other people might get the chance to watch this drama, because again, this drama has a potential to explain how lee anna's disorder is quite hard to handle. People might have this opportunity to recognize this mini series as this type of cases are very rare and thanks to this drama, I get to know and understand what Ripley Syndrome looks like.
a football team who strives to work hard for their dream to make a change ❤️?
An inspiring story of a football team involving their background of their lives, pursuing to change their lifestyle through being a football player. And a coach who was with them throughout their journey together fighting for a change ♡Been waiting for a few months to be released and available to watch on HiTv, and suprisingly this was a good one and worth the wait ?. And its actually based on a true story!! I love how teamwork is portrayed from this drama, especially the korea team players also has their background story, which is more of an inspiring story of them as a team. Even if they don't win, their purpose is there within them :) Also, I love how chaotic Park Seo Jun and IU in this movie haha
Park Seo Jun and IU never dissapoints with their drama :)) Overall, this was actually a good watch :)
so, where are we at the second season???
so, here's the thing...first season was more of a background of where it all started, until the second season was a continuation of the current year where jeonsung biotech continues experimenting people who were chosen to give big amount of money and be part of the experimentation to be infected. Now, it was tooflat, but the romance was getting better from this season. There were still unanswered questions for me, and as well as the new characters, especially the adopted son of maeda yukiko, seung jo was part of the experiment after a huge misunderstanding with his mother. Well, it was too short and I was definetly expecting for more than the 7-episode. And also, it was shown all around the world about a creature that infects people from a worm within in between the waters, especially when drinking it. But the thing here is how the heck did Yoon Chae-ok's body was recovered after the worm that was in her body since born went out from her body? Was that because of the temperature of the water that she was in? Or is there even more behind to that? And also, now Jang Tae Sang was like in the situation of Chae-ok before, now where does the storyline belongs next??? There was an ending credits scene where Seung Jo was already(?) the next leader of the company where packs of bottled water being packed?? Would there be another wave coming????
Well the ending seems to be an open-ending, as I am really suspicious of another season. Well I really do hope because there were still plotholes and some areas are missing with the second season that has short episodes. But thankfully, the acting of Han So Hee and Park Seo Joon was cool yet versatile as well!! Love their chemistry all the way from the first season. If there would be another (possible) third season, I do really hope to get romantic scenes between the main leads, as it was less due to focusing on the background of the story.
Overall, it was okay, but I was expecting for more. The second part was so short but on the other side, I was very impressed with the main lead's acting. Looking forward IG to the next season???? I do hope so T-T
"What we look for love is something that we never looked for,
a person changes your life of what love really is..." (continuation) :>This drama never disappoints!! it's not the typic cliché kdrama that talks about love and hate, but the fact that even the characters (especially the male and female leads) made a whole impact with this drama! I really love how each scenes blends well with the atmosphere, plus the chemistry of the casts never made me regret watching this! this was so underrated, that the fact that this drama was very special where in fact the story was really lovely! Never regretted to watch this drama and how it was so good!! For this note, i'll be talking more about the story and the characters and/or casts as part of taking this time to rate and give recognition to all users who are looking forward to watch this cute drama :)) (and why I rated it a perfect ten ), and finally while concluding this drama, I would definitely and finally confirming that this would be one of the best rom-com kdramas in 2023 so far!!
STORY/PLOT
It tells about a brave, strong, and a rookie attorney Yeo Mi-ran who works at Gilmu Law Firm, known at working numerous number of entertainment company accompanying cases involved by the actors/actresses images throughout their career. She is known to be a hardworking and lovely to her own mother and her best friend since high school who stayed by her side till present by an unexpected short-coming consequences, but she was not interested in entering another romantic relationships because of her exes and how she hates man that gives her all to the,. It was her typical moral lessons that she would never date the type of men she dated before.
On another, a top actor from the entertainment industry, Nam Kang Ho, was known from his famous roles and well known in south korea due to his titleship roles that made him recognized and popular by many. Due to his handsome and visuals, including his intelligence and kindness, many koreans, even the co-workers in his previous roles in his projects loved and adored him so much. With his personal life, he never trusted women, because of his past relationship that gives him anxiety and trauma.
But then, as they met together, they decided to be called as enemies. Turns out that they were in a love battle, as they slowly falling for each other. But both of them never trusts what love is, until they encounter challenges and obstacles in their path.
Well with the story itself, it was very interesting. No-called fate, a story about battling how they hated the word love, until one of them slowly falls in love and the other as well. I really fell in love with the plot itself. Where in fact, I craved for this type of story because honestly so far from the kdrama series I've finished, I never had the chance to look forward about the characters who had the same situation as they had, like never trust the word love in entering relationships. But the truth is where you can find if that person you were or were not looking for actually changes your life they way it was before. The lead and second lead couples made a whole lot different with how this drama was so underrated, including the story as well!! this is why I like this drama. Not your expected typical kdramas that we see. A 10 episode kdrama that I would badly want a 12 episode for another screentime to the second lead couples huhuhu :'))
CAST & CHARACTERS
All of them were new to me, so I'll make this part short. I'll go first with Kim Ok Bin as Yeo Mi ran. Wow she changed the whole atmosphere of the drama like most of the time! I really get so attracted with her character, because it not the type of kdrama fmls who always cries and made me *cringe* a bit, but she was far FAR different to some fml's hehe. I also looked at her discography, wow she was really skilled! From boxing, takewondo, and such! Kim Ok Bin was a promising actress, and hoping she could get roles like action-crime fiim's, and maybe i'll be looking forward to her future projects soon! Now with the handsome and attractive Yoo Teo as Nam Kang Ho, wow like HE'S 41!!??! goshhh kbeauty made them look so younger as ever. Like he's aged like fine wine for me :')). With his character, gosh how I wish to find a man like him huhuhu :')) like it's visible, how he really fell in love first to Mi Ran. I felt bad with his past relationships, since he quite get traumas and anxiety as well. But oh well looking forward to his next roles in the future projects to come!! Next, Kim Ji Hoon as Do Won Joon. He was known in the korean addapt. of money heist. But oh well he was attractive by his role and character. The first time as I saw him from this drama, both him and Yoo Teo has potentials to be recognized more since they deserve it so well! Including Ok Bin as well! Lastly, Go Won Hee as Shin Na Eun. Actually I was thinking if she was that recognized in this drama? Since most of the time the story really focused to the fml and ml, but she really deserve more screen time, as what I have said on top, Ji Hoon and her in their characters, they need more scenes because they had also good chemistry as well. But her character, I think it needs improvement because honestly some viewer (from the comments) say that her character was annoying, but for me she also bring attention to some scenes as well. To all of the casts, they need bigger recognition sooner, because they all deserve it! They really chose the drama that fits their appearances as well! and btw, their friendships in the drama was like from the drama A business proposal a bit haha.
Overall a good watch, but how much more this drama would be better if they had the great amount of screentime to the second lead couples, and also a 12 episode kdrama but oh well its netflix :'))
Good for binge watch (50-55 min 10 episode kdrama), perfect time kill during weekends and great for beginners as well! Very recommended to re-watch it all over again!!
Kudos to the writers of this drama!! Rooting for the casts and looking forward to their next projects to come!! LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND I'LL MISS THEM MORE :'D
a sci-fic that everyone needs to watch ASAP!!
I think this drama has a little bit of potential from the beginning, since it gets you entertained by each scenarios that the story has. But where in fact this drama was a sci-fi, seems interesting and sometimes circulating questions ponders in your head of how he was inside that phone (seems weird, right? :'D). The drama seems to be good, but mixed with reality of dreams and pursuing your goals in life, with unexpected outcomes, bursts with emotions and feelings that I could relate to. With this, I think this drama seems to be okay with me, but I would go through with each parts of why this drama was interesting and entertaining to begin with.STORY/PLOT
Kim Sun Jo was one of the CEO of the country's largest IT companies in SK, he was a genius as every life plans where planned well, but with challenges left to solve and take that brings him down. Due to its accident that causes his life to twist around in a wrong direction, he became a victims from an unknown killer by a senseless murder. But as he was still in a coma, his spirit was entered in his very own invented smartphone where he got trapped spent his life inside the CPU. Until, a university graduate student who's dream was to be an actor, Park In sung, found out a phone near in his neighborhood and as Sun Jo asked for help to In sung. As he take the advantage to save him, and willing to do the favor of Sun Jo in exchanging for his services. As In Sung entered the company acting as the President/CEO, there he met Sun Jo's secretary Jung Se Yeon. As they are together to solve the case and the truth about where and how did Sun Jo entered to a different dimension.
With this plot when I read everything, I get the point why it seems interesting that the fact that this was sci-fi, and how everything might goes without getting spoiled. When watching, it was very interesting, I think most of the parts of every episodes makes me want to never stop watching it because of how it gets even more interesting and exciting at the same time. With the plot as well, it blends so much with a little bit of romance, even if it focuses more about the comedy and mystery of this drama. But again, the story seems to be well, but then the endings needs to be fixed. I think it would have a better ending then what it was shown to make the story has a better one, with no flaws or I considered it as a good one. I also love how the story really explains how the sad truth gets hidden by how it is covered by people's words and decisions. Sometimes we chose what is better for us or for them, but we don't think of how hidden truths might give us an impact.
CINEMATOGRAPHY AND OST
So with this part, I really REALLY love the OSTS!! every ending scenes of each episodes gives me the thrill when it hooks me in every ending! It really blends every scenes, that make my soul cry, and how it gives reflection to the scenes and the characters feelings during that specific scenes to give atmosphere. The cinematography of this drama was a meh okay for me. There are some scenes that are pretty obvious that the blue cgi was kinda obvious.
CAST AND CHARACTERS
Chae Jong Hyeop, gosh he had lots of potential, especially he got so famous by his character so called "the potato boi" from a famous kdrama nevertheless,, I really like his role, the way he smiles lightens the mood, and nothing really changed his career from the previous projects he had, but for sure I could see lots of improvements, from the sad scenes and such. With his character, Park In Sung was never a disappointment for me, In Sung made his life so much twists that he never expected to involve in a case where he acted to be the CEO without any experience or degree. Park Sung Woong, it was my first time to see him ever since I watched kdramas. I like his role, but sadly I can't see a lot of his acting skills because most of the time, he was only a voice actor. But in his character, Kim Sun Joo was the same with Park In Sung, but the fact where his decisions where never been easy especially as a CEO. Love the way he blends with the other characters as well. Seo Eun Soo, was also the first time I saw here ever since the day I started to watch kdramas. She was pretty good at acting, but before I could really describe her, same as Park Sung Woong, I need to discover both their other projects that are different from their roles in this drama. Well Seo Eun Soo was pretty tbh! I could really see how she fits so well with her role as a secretary. With her character as Jung Se Yeon, I think it was never been easy for her to be part and getting involved by SunJoo's case because she also has personal matters in her private life. Thanks to her boss, she could provide what she needs in her life. But again, the other casts did so well! I appreciate their efforts in being part of this drama, kudos to the team <33
Overall, it was a fun and a good watch during weekends. Especially it only has 12 episodes, i think viewers would get satisfies with how it goes, just like me hehe.
Good for binge watch (since it is a 12 eps kdrama, i think its enough to kill the allotted free time), good for time kill, great for beginners and good for re watch as well.
Well here I am, as I end the note, hoping that the casts would have other roles to enter in their future careers, hoping that they could strive higher recognitions as well! a good kdrama, and again, kudos to the team, rooting for them!! :>
if you are soft hearted, needy for healing and comforting kdrama, then watch this short kdrama :))
trust the process of this drama, love how it came out but the plot never says it all :')))))plsss i was crying a lot from this drama, from how it started till the ending was very calming and smoothing kind of feeling for me. As a soft hearted person after the last episode, I gave myself a few minutes to bring my tears rolling through my cheeks because of how comforting this drama was for me tbh :'))
well this drama has 16 episodes with a 20-25 min timeslots, I think the story was very interesting. Involving friendships, past relationships, youth, and with a little bit of grief in the beginning. It was one of my waiting list from my kdrama watchlists, and finally, I get to have enough time to watch this drama series in just 1 day, and I guess I appreciate myself that I get to discover this little masterpiece and one of my comforting kdrama added on my list. This one was placed in my heart which is very special, because sometimes (or maybe by some of you) we had the right time to be with someone, but we met them in a wrong timing, just like how ha-min and so mang unexpectedly experienced the outcome without expecting it was too much for the both of them.
(BEWEARE: LONG NOTE AHEAD!)
Story and the Plot
The story talks about involving a youth-relationship, with unexpected encounters from the past till the present. It all started of how Ha Min and So Mang met unexpectedly together, and due to her loneliness and isolation a bit, Ha Min turns out to be her closest friend until the fall in love little by little, then it all connected to where So Mang was in her mid 20s, started a new path in her life, met the student, jae min, bo mi, jin young and sun hee. Each of them are connected to the issue of Ha Min's death. Then the story deeply shows how their feelings has been developed by their firsts love, from the main lead couple till the second lead couple. As each scenes and scenarios happening around them fits with the lead couple's scenarios or pasts as well. This is how I started to like this series, because how the transitions fits so well. To be specific, there are episodes has the same atmosphere from humor, to sadness, regrets and pain to the end. The story talks about a past relationship, with a grief of someone who died, how they are interconnected by some main leads as well. Overall the story being developed was well made. I think this is the very first time that it tells about a past to present relationships of how it started from falling in love till unexpected circumstances that breaks apart.
The plot was actually far from the story, that makes it no spoilers, which I thanked for because I usually would want to satisfy myself in any kdramas with no spoilers and with surprises. But again, well made story and great youth kdrama as well.
Cinematography and ost
I like how it blends with every scenes portraying the story that gave a little bit of atmosphere as well. With the ost, i think the sad scenes gives the same vibe with the ost or background music playing. I have nothing to say from this part because what I was focusing more was the story and the cast hehe.
Cast and Characters
Hmmmmm I think i'll make this part have more explanations since they give lots of great chemistry with their roles and as most of the main leads, I saw them from previous kdrama series last year and this year. Starting of with Seo Ji-Hoon as Lee Ha Min, hoooo i think this role fits for him as well. His character role was promising, and with all Ha Min has been through, I, myself or others would say its never been easy to carry the burned within you. Switching to the actor, the first kdrama project that saw by him was from meow the secret boy, to the latest kdrama i've watched which is the revenge of others. I was like, wow he made so much changes and hoping that he would get some roles that would be far different from his previous roles. I was rooting for him as well! So Ju Yeon has the same role as a student, with a future character of Han So Mang, i think she has the same role from the last and first kdrama I watched, which is the korean addapt., a love so beautiful. What changed was the personality of the character as Han So Mang. From the character itself, I liked it, but sometimes she could get blinded by darkness because she receives so much pain from Ha Min and blamed herself from everything, until she never gave up to find reasons behind his death. That explains how love give so much power and attention within your heart. Kim Min Kyu ad Lee Jae Min. Well as a younger brother, the character was kinda annoying especially he was young, but I was happy that he developed the feeling of happiness and how thankful he is to his brother because most of the time his brother saved him from troubles he makes that his older brother doesn't want to have the same experience as him. Last kdrama i saw from him was pop out boy, and I guess him as a rookie actor, I think I need to see him more from kdramas to see how good he is but he made his role special from this drama as well! Kang Hye Won as Yoon Bo Mi, hye won was very new to her acting career, and hoping that she could receive other roles from future projects and rooting for her as well! But her character was sweet and pure, and I like how she developed from her misunderstandings with her relationships and friendships. Yoon Hyun Soo as Choi Jin Young, Well he was kinda familiar and I noticed that my first and latest kdrama that I saw him was from my fav k web series, hope or dope season 1 and 2! his character was from cold and arrogant with a little of his alter ego, turning to soft hearted and lovable, because of their fake relationship with Bo Mi until he also fell in love with her. And last but not the least, Oh Yu Jin as Kang Sun Hee. I saw her from the very latest k web drama series, new love playlist. I really fell in love with her character and personality. I felt like we have something in common, which is anger issues haha. But her character was never been so annoying because she brings happiness and tension when she appears. I love her attitude with her friendships, how she maturely handles situations like that. With the actress, she was very promising after all I get so attracted from her role from new love playlist, and she deserve so much recognition and as I added her as one of my favorite rookie actresses <33
Overall, this web drama series was very promising from the beginning, and I'll conclude this note since I wrote this 25-30 mins and that's why I gave my all hahaha.
Good for binge-watch, especially I binge-watched in just 1 day, good for time kill as well! Lastly, recommended and great for beginners who needed comfort and healing <33
Rooting for ALL the main lead's next projectssss!!! HA MIN AND SO MANG DESERVE A GOOD ENDING :(((
