I still cannot believe this...

What was this drama. It started of okay. Nothing special, nothing ordinary.

Two entities are deciding to get a marriage contract, one side needs bone marrow donation, the other person an alibi as far as I remember (watched the drama about a year ago).

He was completely against this, and she had to beg him several times to agree to her wish.

She's believing the entire time that she will die because her doctor informed her, and she also suffers from the symptoms of her disease.

When he agrees, they move together and also fall in love while living together, also because his mother loves her so much (I think...). As you would expect, he has evil friends who want to ruin their relationship, because they are secretly in love with the main couple. While Xia Lin (the main girl) has beloved friends supporting her. Her friend is simping for Ling Yi Zhou (Xu Kai Cheng) employee, and they also start a relationship (secretly for what ever reason).

All okay, but then it happens...

Xia Lin also called Mumu???, finds out that she ain't sick but that her boyfriend FAKED that she suffers from a disease so that she needs to turn to him to get his donation because the doctor told her that he had compatible bone marrow. In that manner, they got to know each other.

PLEASE TELL ME that you also think this is psychopathic...

SHE LITERALLY THOUGHT SHE NEEDS TO DIE, and he simply STALKED her ALL THE TIME.

She of course was upset first but after talking to her friends, who thought it was totally okay, she was okay with it too.

God-damn, can you imagine how my jaw dropped?
I still watched this thing... till the end, there is some kidnapping and slapping, getting married and children coming afterwards.
But I could not forget the stalker thing.

Hilarious POX story :D

My Roommate is a Gumiho has been so far one of the best romantic comedies of 2021 and can easily be compared to True Beauty because of the hilarious and iconic scenes.


The story:
Lee Dam (Lee Hye Ri) is out drinking with her friends and has to drag one of them, Do Jae Jin (Kim Do Wan) home. On their way, Jae Jin vomits on Shin Woo Yeo (Jang Ki Yong) car. He is a 999-year-old gumiho who wants to turn into a human being. While apologizing, Lee Dam trips and Shin Woo Yeo prevents her from falling. But somehow the marble of the gumiho gets into her body, and now he absorbs energy from Lee Dam. They end up living together for her protection (and the protection of the marble) and Lee Dam has to follow certain rules, now that she is bonded to a fox. This means she is not allowed to drink, eat chicken nor hang out with guys which were born in the year of the tiger, which is hard for a university student. All these events make up room for insanely funny happenings.


The cast:
In my opinion, the cast did a great job. I had no issues with Lee Hye Ri at all, like others in the comment section. The supporting cast was amazing as well, so there is not quite much to talk about.


The music:
Was nothing special. I finished the show yesterday and could not hum any of the songs on the spot.


The side character:
The story would have been only half as great if it was not for the side characters. I was so thrilled to see Kang Han Na and Kim Do Wan acting together after Start-Up. Their story was entertaining, too. And let's be honest... where do I get my own Do Jae Jin. What a cute, understanding and caring guy. In addition, Kang Han Na role was funny as hell and I loved her support for her friends, too. Lee Dam's friends are such amazing and supporting people. I would have been definitely more curious than them :D. The other university students and the siblings added a nice touch to the story and may ships arised.


My recommendation:
So if you like a little fantasy, a lot of comedy as well as watching people eat a lot of food 24/7 this is a drama for you. It is light-hearted with some twists and turns and great stories surrounding the main thread.








A little side not (INCLUDES SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), I hope everyone saw that :)
The Second Lead : I first did not like him, but in episode 9 or something I really felt for him. That is probably because he made his feelings so obvious and talked about it a lot. I think he would have been a very good choice, too, and I hope he will get the girl in another drama.

Things that did not add: I do not understand why they did not keep up with the serial killer thing. I mean, they found out who it was, but the entire section was kind of weird to me. I feel like they did not use the full potential and did not close all the open questions properly here, as if they forgot the story line existed.

A Fun Mockumentary

This one this a gem, besides episode 17, which was a bit confusing to me :D
So what you need to know beforehand. This drama has 17 episodes, but only 16 are related to the key story, while the last episode seems to tease a second season with new main characters or something like that. It is possible they only did that for could because the main character was Shinees Min-ho, but whatever. I genuinely liked that the episodes were quite short.
The story focuses more or less on three couples and switches between past and present time of their relationships. We get to witness how they get together, maybe break up and experience their lives, some trying to get back to one another. All the characters are related to each other somehow. We have three best friends, lovers, cousins, etc.
The series has a Modern Family type of vibe since it is a Mockumentary. The characters are participating in a project, where people talk about their past and ongoing relationships. The other participants can read about the stories of the others, but don't know who they are. This leads to them commenting on somebodies experiences and falling into a discussion.

The acting was AMAZING. I am usually not a massive fan of Ji Chang Wook but here he was very good. His character slightly going insane, the screaming, the mad eyes. It was hilarious to watch. Kim Ji-won really made me hate, like, love and understand her all at the same time. She was truly mesmerizing. For the other 4 roles, they choose a really great cast. At some points I wished we would even get more insides into their lives, but the amount increased as the story developed.

I really enjoyed watching the different developments of relationships and in what direction they were going. I understood why characters hesitated or made their decisions in that way. Furthermore, I also liked the cinematography and the way they included oldies music. I wanted to be a part of this cool group.

In the end there were quite some strings open or rather just opened, and I hope they will produce another season. For one couple, I did not completely understand why they chose to not be together, since they communicated about liking each other.
But overall the drama was fun, serious and full of tension at the same time. As I am writing this now, I genuinely want to rewatch it. (I completed it around February.)
You will see some new sides of Korea and many beauty shots. (a bit cringe but also cute :D)

The last episode was a bit throwing off since I did not know the content was a different one. I thought I would get answers to my questions, but no...
I don't remember them at this point, but anyway :D.

This COULD have been a banger….

This series could have gotten 10 points from me if Park Morgan's character had been written out.
Search WWW is about two major Internet portals Unicorn and Barro, like Google or Firefox (only more interactive), competing for first place.
In the center are three women, one employee of Barro, one employee of Unicorn and one employee who was fired from Unicorn for an unfair reason and is now hired in a Barro task force. Their mission: to increase the market value of Barro and the amount of users.
All 3 women know each other from school and have a history with each other. Song Gakyung (Unicorn) lives in an arranged marriage, her difficult mother in law has great influence and uses her for her own purposes.
Chahyun (Barro) is a woman who had to give up fighting sports and transforms her energy into sports and series. She has a crush on an actor, whom she even meets later.
Lastly, Bae Tami. She switches to Barro, is super smart and tough and full of ideas.
Chahyun and Tami form a great team at Barro. The people are nice and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a start-up. Most of the scenes are super funny and I really enjoyed watching the team.

So far so good. Unfortunately, these scenes are severely limited due to another character. I thought it was super exciting to watch Gakyung's sheer difficulty and power struggle and Chahyun's actress makes you just want to watch her. The stroy-lines in this field were very notable.
Right in the first episode, however, Tami meets Park Morgan, who is 10 years younger (very important info) and develops music for games.
The relationship starts off with a one night stand, so I thought it would take a new tone as well. Unfortunately, false report.
Park Morgan isn't the problem per se, but how Tami's character acts when she's with him. It's super annoying. The music, the lighting, the filters, everything is set up for romance. Don't get me wrong. I love rom-coms. But this relationship is just boring and frustrating. That's why I recommend just fast forwarding scenes of these two. They can take up to 50% of the episode, though.
SPOILERS AHEAD (resp. More Details)
The first problem that is brought up again and again is the age difference, after that is cleared up, the next 10 episodes are still about that, but also about the fact that Tami doesn't want to get married, but Morgan does. Their solution for everything at first: it doesn't matter, we will live in the here and now and not in the future. But then one episode later it becomes the center of attention again and yawn... The dialogues are endless, the words empty and the thematic tiring. The kickass Tami becomes an expressionless and washed out creature. They managed to make me absolutely bored and as soon as they both show up together I try to occupy myself elsewhere.

The cast was good, I was not a fan of Tamis actress though, she always had the same expressions. I don’t really see why she was chosen.
The styling was often pretty weird, but that’s still okay.
I loved the OST, very catchy and diverse in sound.

I don't understand what happened

Yes I "watched" the entire drama and there are a lot of people who already shared a similar opinion as mine but I just have to get this out of my head. I was so excited as I heared about the cast and also the OST and the actors also very did well.... But the story idk. The first 7 or 8 episodes were amazing in my opinion and then nothing. I think that was because they were very fast forward with the characters relationship in the first few episode. It felt like they have nothing to tell anymore afterwards and I was bored while watching it, which lead to skipping through most of the side characters scenes. I also disliked the male lead in between because it was so cliché. Idk

A nice story for in-between and short days

First of all, I have not seen the original story, but I am sure the C-Drama is better. It also has a different genre, has more deepening and is more emotional.

The Korean adaption, on the other side, is a short drama with 24 episodes, each around 20 minutes long. It is colorful, cute and lighthearted. One of these dramas where you just can sit back and not be emotionally involved or stressed.
I personally need something like that after an intense drama.

The story:

Shin Sol Yi (So Ju Yeon) is madly in love with her clever and good-looking neighbor and classmate Cha Heon (Kim Yo Han). However, he ignores her caring for him and is rather cold towards her. She still does not give up and clings onto him. When a new student Woo Dae Sung (Yeo Hoe Hyun) joins the class, he immediately shows interest in the sunshine Shin Sol Yi. This is when Cha Hoen realizes he does indeed care for her and the whole drama begins.

In general, the story takes place over a lager timespan. It starts during their school years and shows different stages of these in ca. 17 episodes. Afterwards, the drama moves on quite quickly, showing some episodes at university and how they deal with job until they are something around 30. The pacing was fine, but towards the end everything was a bit rushed.

The characters:
As you can get a small inside from the description above, you notice that Shin Sol Yi and also Woo Dae Sung appear as true sunshines towards the fevers. Even tho Cha Hoen was portrayed as cold-hearted at first, this description soon won't do him justice anymore.

What I really loved were the supporting actors and the friends group. Shin Sol Yi really has some of the best friends you can get in the entire world, and the bond of her classmates was strong as well.

It is been some time since I watched the drama, but there are scenes which I remember still till that day.
Simply, there is not much to say. I enjoyed the drama and will definitely watch it again if I feel down, and so should you :).

So, who is going to create a start-up with me?

Start-up blew my mind!
I watched Start-up while it was airing, and I am still thinking about it. It was/is one of these dramas where you just need more of it.

STORY:
The Story evolves around Seo Dal-mi, a girl from a low-income family. Her father always dreamed about having his own company, which lead to major fights at home. Her parents divorced, and her mom took her older sister with her and married another man with loads of money. Dal-mi stayed with her grandmother and father. Her father dies after a car accident, and she remains with her grandmother. Because she is a lonely girl, her grandmother makes up a pen pal named Nam Do San (based on a proper person in Korea). A boy who lives in her grandmas shop helps her with that. He is an orphan and does not know where to go.
Fast-forward to the future. The orphan boy Han Ji Pyung is very successful and own some companies and works at sandbox. Her sister is also very popular because of her step-fathers social background. Dal-mi could not go to university because of money issues and works several part-time jobs.
In Seoul, there is this fictional space "sandbox". There, start-ups get the chance to find employees, resources and connections.
Every year, Sandbox offers a competition for young entrepreneurs to find within 48 hours a team and develop an idea and pitch for a start-up. The best 4 teams will get financial support, an office and employees for free for several months. When Dal-mi meets her sister, which has everything she ever dreamed about, she tells her that she and her pen pal Nam Do San will join Sandbox. Her sister will also participate in the competition. This leads to Dal-mi searching for the real Nam Do San.
Nam Do San is one of the smartest boys in Korea, and he works with his two best friends on their own start-ups. However, they never seem to work out and want to join Sandbox, too. Through these overlapping, all the main characters meet at sandbox, and Han Ji Pyung recognizes Dal-mi. He does not want her to know about him being the pen pal and makes a deal with Nam Do San to pretend like he was her pan pal the entire time.

CAST/ACTING:
The cast was outstanding, I believed everyone that they were the character that they portrayed. Notably, Suzy stepped up her game. She was brilliant, just like everyone else. I was drawn into the story by the great execution and screen writing. In my opinion, the cinematography was amazing, too. I wanted to join their team so bad.

MUSIC:
The soundtrack was on another level, Red Velvet and Ga-ho really carried the most significant scenes, but there were also other excellent songs.

EMOTIONS:
The show made me feel some type of way. I laughed, cried and got angry. Even now, I still feel the pain of some characters. The show managed to develop the characters in a good way and explains their previous behaviour.
I really want to watch it again soon. So thanks to everyone involved in this. You did an amazing job, and I am looking forward to your future works.
Also, the turns and twists did not bother me. I liked them very much.

The other side of the coin

Mad for each other is a drama that depicts mental difficulties and is about sensitive issues such as domestic violence, gender conformity, fear and aggression. However, the realization for me was not amazing.

It deals with a man and a woman who are neighbors and go to the same psychiatrist. The woman comes from a bad relationship and has the feeling of being persecuted by everyone. She also suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. The man is a police officer on probation because he acted too aggressively during a takeover.

Thus, the story revolves around personal problems, a drug dealer, getting healthy and dealing with people who want bad things for you. It also introduces some side characters like the neighbors, a saleswoman and so on.

Within the first 4 episodes I just thought „where is this going“? The characters were going around in circles and somehow the same thing was happening over and over again but in different places.
After that it got better until episode 8. It was relatively funny and varied and you could see how the relationship developed. After that, however, I could only enjoy the episodes with a shake of the head. Thank God the episodes were so short. There was everything from break ups, misunderstandings, car chases etc and most of it only in the last 30 minutes. I couldn't stop laughing. It was so ridiculous.

Mad for each other is really not for me

This was oddly addictive

Marriage, not dating, is one of these trash dramas. The story is not very original, the acting average, and the budged rather little. But god, that was addictive. I couldn't stop watching the series and finished it in an unhealthy amount of time.
I think this is mostly due to the cliffhangers in the ending of each episode and the insanely funny story line.

The story:
Joo Jang Mi (Han Groo) is madly in love with her boyfriends she has been dating over a year now and wants to get married. Since her boyfriend Lee Hoon Dong does not show any motion to propose, she decides to do it herself. Lee Hoon Dong owns a restaurant and loves being a playboy. The last thing he wants is getting married, and he wants to break up with his girlfriend. However, he is a sissy, not able to speak up right away and instead of telling Joo Jang Mi that he is not interested any more, he gets his best friend Gong Ki Tae (Yeon Woo Jin) to distract her. Lee Hoon Dong starts ghosting Joo Jang Mi and tells inaccurate stories about her stalking him. Joo Jang Mi first does not understand that her boyfriend broke up with her, because he simply didn't, but as she realizes she gets furious and wants Lee Hoon Dong to act like a grown man. Gong Ki Tae gets over time involved in their fights and ends up making a deal with Joo Jang Mi. Gong Ki Tae also does not want to get married, but his mother pressures him to do so. Joo Jang Mi is supposed to pretend to be his girlfriend and misbehave at her home to terrorize his mother. On the other hand, she gets the chance to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.

The characters:
Joo Jang Mi is your typical poor drama girl who likes to drink, is clumsy and speaks without thinking beforehand, but she was quite likeable.
Gong Ki Tae is a rich plastic surgeon from a good family, rather cold-hearted and bored from life.
Both of course with a childhood trauma. They are making a good pair, tho.
The side characters all evolve around making the main couple "break up". We have the ex-boyfriend, an ex-girlfriend, a second lead and a best friend... that yeah, see yourself :D.

All this sounds pretty generic, but the show has good jokes, funny and heart-warming scenes and many clichés. As a change up, I really loved it, and I will definitely rewatch it sometime. The show had a lot of twists and cliffhangers which will keep you going even if you cringe sometimes.
I recommend it to you if you something light-hearted for in-between. From the vibe it gives you, I would compare it to the heirs, maybe. Not from the storyline or anything, just from the feeling.

If you have further questions, I'm here to answer them :)

What bothered me was that they slept in their street cloth quite often, like eww.

I wish uni would actually be this exiting but also not... You know :D

Law School is, as the title suggests, a drama about a group of law students and their courses.
During a training process (which looked quite fun) a professor gets killed and all the people whose footprints are found at the crime scene are suspected, which leads to a professor and some students being the prime suspect. Some students are sure that their acquaintances are innocent and want to find the true murderer.

I do not know anything about the law and how it works (on that base), but I found it very interesting. I watched some American shows, which deal with similar topics already, so I knew that I would probably like this one, too.
What was absolutely amazing was that all of the characters had a story line. Nobody was there to only have a helping, commenting or antagonistic function. Everyone contributed to the story on their own, and everyone had to carry their own baggage. Especially, Jeon Ye Seul story got me on the edge of my seat.
Repeatedly I was unsure if somebody was on the main character's side or if they switched. In addition, the audience's minds were challenged by the falsification of scenes, which I found genuinely interesting. This is also one of the dramas where you are delighted to see the group growing together over time. People will break out of their comfort zone and realize what's best for them.
I gave the story 9 stars, because it also had length in-between which could have been avoided.

The cast was impressive, no expectation, and I immensely liked the dynamics between them. I think they had a lot of fun of the screen as well, because of the behind the scenes. Shortly to the main lead, Kang Sol [A], played by Ryu Hye Young really portrayed Kang Sols struggle. I am a university student myself and not naturally gifted. To be on the top, I have to work harder than everyone else, and I could see myself in her very well. It made me feel less alone. I guess.
A lot of people in the comments say that they found her pathetic or weird, but I enjoyed watching her.

The drama has two amazing soundtracks. They fitted the situations well and are catchy. But besides them, I did not find the music very remarkable.

You can definitely watch the show again, but it takes some tension, if you know who murdered the professor and how the other problems get solved. But, of course, this is one of the dramas which will be seen from a different side afterwards.

Overall, I thought Law School was a pretty decent drama for people interested in crime scenes, investigations or strong friendships.

I cried every episode...

This series is an emotional rollercoaster with a incredible story, cast and message.

The Plot:
The drama surrounds a boy, Han Geu Ru, with autism. After his father dies, he has to take over their company "Move to Heaven" with deals with estate regulation after a person dies. His neighbour and best friend Yoon Na Mu gives him a helping hand. However, due to his illness, Han Geu Ru gets a new legal guardian, which was chosen by his father before he died. It is his uncle Cho Sang Gu who just got released from prison after almost killing somebody in a fight.

The Obstacles:
All the characters need to overcome past and present barriers to get along with each other. Geu Ru has to work on his strictness, Sang Gu needs to learn to release past anger and guilt, and Na Mu needs to find out what she really wants in life.
But when they grow together, a beautiful family emerges.
There were a lot of side stories, which helped the characters growing. It always brought tears to my eyes how caring they dealt with the estate of the dead people, how they introduced themselves to them and how they did not give up to find the person they can give the important stuff to.

The Cast:
Tan Jung Sang aka. Geu Ru did an brilliant job in portraying a character with a disease. He perfectly portrayed the smart, introverted and caring character and transferred me to another world.
I've recently seen Hong Seung Hee in Navillera, and she was the completely opposite of her character there. She seemed way younger, bubbly and fast-forward. Her character had the function to always speak out loud what the audience things. Otherwise, she was a caregiver and the person who always took the chance and operated to make everyone's life better. She was very fun to watch.
Lee Je Hoon had a huge change here. I only knew him from romantic comedies, but he depicted the ex-prisoner and violent poor boy from the streets very well. I think he definitely liked diving into that role. He played amazingly with his emotions, the sadness, anger and also warmth.
All of them were truly mesmerizing, and I am looking forward to seeing many of their new projects in the future.
Thanks to all the people who worked hard on this series. Amazing screenwriting, directing and acting, etc.

The ending opens some questions, so it might be possible that there will be another season.

Maaaria, Mariaa

True beauty is the first drama where I could not wait until it was finished airing to binge it.
The 8 weeks between December and February were a torture because I could not watch anything else besides this drama.

True Beauty evolves around Lim Joo Gyung who gets bullied for her appearance by her classmates. There comes a point where she can not take it any more and wants to jump from a rooftop. Before doing so, Lee Su Ho appears out of coincidence and stops her from jumping. Lim Joo Gyung gets into enhancing her beauty through make-up and changes her school. People at her new school admire her looks, and she quickly finds new friends. The only thing is that Lee Su Ho is one of her classmates and knows how she looks, actually. She wants to prevent him from finding out about her real looks, because she does not want to get bullied again.

True beauty has amazing main/lead and supporting roles. We get to meet siblings, friends and classmates as well as teachers and their storylines. The acting was extremely well too, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Moon Ga Young (Lim Joo Gyung) captured my eye some time ago, especially since I found out that she was born in Germany. I really like her other dramas, and that one was no exception.
For Cha Eun Woo (Lee Su Ho), I do not know if they just give him these types of roles, like always, or if that is just how he wants to present himself, too. If you have seen him in other dramas, he is playing the exact same role, such as in My ID is Beauty Gangnam or the historical drama where he is a prince. He does not do his job awful, tho. It is just something we recognize from him.
Hwang In Yeop (Han Soe Jun) my dear baby :D. You did amazing sweetie. This is my first drama I've seen with him, and I genuinely liked his acting and his role sooooo.
All the other actors were incredible, too. Kang Soo Jin was such an interesting character. I completely understood why she was so desperate and rooted for her breaking free.

True Beauty is a light-hearted and funny drama with realistic elements. I laughed amazingly much and identified with the characters.
I personally liked the second-lead-male better than the guy she ends up with, but it is how it is :D.
Furthermore, I really liked that the gender roles, here, were not strictly followed to spice up some things in the side couple.

The ending scene and everybody gets together once again made me tear up.
Not all good dramas need to be heavy and complex. They simply need to be enjoyable and able to draw you into their world. True Beauty did exactly this, and I hope for more amazing dramas like this to come.

It was my oxygen for a couple of weeks but...

This drama is one of your typical haters to lovers story, but kind of better.
I absolutely enjoyed the first 12 episodes from the bottom of my heart and was willing to give it a 10 stars rating.
The love story of the main leads develops fascinatingly, and we've got some nice side characters, besides the second lead couple. It is overall fun, cute and moves with the right pace. The cast did a great job in portraying their roles.
I literally could not start watching anything else in between and waited until the next Friday to continue, because I was so invested. Of course, at some points, the acting was kinda off and cliché, but it did not bother me at all. Sometimes, I need a break from all the intense dramas which are currently coming out.
Now here comes the BUT.
I was okay with episode 13 and 14 to be kind of boring because this is where usually the turning points comes (it did here too) so it was allowable for me. The thing is they did not get back on track with the last two episodes.
First, Joon repeatedly asked for more time, while dealing with his issues. Shouldn't people in a relationship talk about what is going on in their lives and try to support each other? Probably, but he did not bother and went through it alone, and she was okay with it. At one point she even said something like "and here I am living my own life". Like girl, what did you do before???
Second, the second lead couple was insanely toxic. I really do not understand why the writers gave them a happy end, if they are literally better off without each other. I mean, one of them tried to take her life several times and the other ends up suffering damage from it. I already forgot her name, but she was overall a terrible character who played with the surrounding people, while the guy definitely had anger issues.
Therefore, it turned out that the last 4 episodes are just long and annoying. They do not even include the interesting reveals like how Geun-young managed to make Yoon popular again and how he reacted to the article, etc.
But they had the time to fill the last episodes with at least 7 flash backs about Yoons trainee time and how he and the toxic couple became friends. It wasn't even new stuff.
They also left some questions open. The one bothering me the most is why his mother didn't care for him at all. He tries reaching her 15 episodes long, and she immediately calls him after somebody else tells her about him knowing who his father is? For me, she has no reason to not pick up anyway.

Well, I guess I am done ranting here. :D.
I focused on the negative plot here, but keep in mind it is very watchable.
Thank you for the exiting weeks. I will definitely come back here.
See you.

Very much potential for variety, deepness and humor.

Hi Bye, Mama is one of those dramas that makes you dive right into her story.
It's about a woman who died in a car accident. She was pregnant and the baby was saved by the doctors.
She lives as a ghost on earth and watches her loved ones. She lives with other ghosts with whom she has made friends in an urn hall.
5 years after her accident, her husband remarried, her daughter thinks her stepmother is her biological mother and her parents have broken off all contact with the child. However, she knows that they all long for closeness. Due to a circumstance, Cha Yu-ri (FL) gets 49 days to take her place on earth. This means that she will become a full human being again when she marries her husband again and her child recognizes her as a mother.

That all being said we have a storyline which could have been surrounding the ghosts she lives with, the drama around her family (especially her mother), her husbands new wife, her husband and daughter and her friends, which are all there for her and missed her.
This was pretty much done in the first 7 episodes, maybe?

After a while, however, I was bothered by more things than I liked. For one, there was constant repetition of scenes (which is not unusual in dramas, but it was true very often), but that wasn't enough, because the same dialogues were also always repeated "I'm sorry", "I'm so glad", "I just love Son-woo so much, she's so pretty" are definitely the top 3 phrases of the series.
The acting was also mixed, but that was partly due to the script and director, since I've seen dramas with the actors and it wasn't that bad there.
Partly I could not understand the characters. Information was constantly hidden and things were not said. Most of the main characters spent most of their time looking stupid or crying. In addition, there was far too little questioning for me. If someone I knew came back from the dead I would really have a lot of questions. Also, there were too many plotholes. Especially concerning the days she has left and also concerning the ghosts. You are introduced to about 10 at the beginning, which have deeper storylines, but which are dropped to make room for repetition. During the series, Yuri promises to do something good for the ghosts, which she does 2 times and then has forgotten the things.

The Stroy had the potential to be funny, varied and dramatic at the same time. This was not used in that many characters and questionable things were simply forgotten. The last episodes just upset me.

Nevertheless, I often had to cry. My favorite character is the stepmother.

I confess: I am a sucker for Cinderella stories.

Cinderella and the four knights was my first KDrama ever, and because of that is holds a special place in my heart.

It is very cringe and full of clichés, but definitely a feelgood drama.

Eun Ha Won (Park So Dam) lives with her stepmother and stepsister in her father's house. Her father is often away because of his job and does not notice that the step-family does not treat Eun Ha Won well. Eun Ha Won is still a high school students but works several part-time jobs, because she wants to attend university after graduation. She comes home late and lives on the balcony at their home. All these circumstances made her a tough girl, who is not afraid to speak up and help other people.

Kang Hyun Min (Ahn Jae Hyun) is one of the heirs of a huge business. He does not know how to behave and dates one girl after another. He has two cousins, one being a musician and another one being an orphan. Their fathers all died when they were younger, and they use this as excuse of being a$$holes.

As their grandfather gets married again, Kang Hyun Min wants to set a statement and when he meets Eun Ha Won in a club, he pays her for attending the wedding with him. At the wedding, he is not polite and Eun Ha Won speaks up about his bad behavior, which impresses the grandfather. Later, he contacts her to employ her as a babysitter for the three boys, who all live in one major mansion together.

Eun Ha Won really has to go through a lot of stuff during the series, which makes the audience root for her loveable and kind character. Also, the boys will grow closer to your heart as time develops.

The drama has many flashbacks and these weird time stands still moments :D, while the behavior of the characters is similar to a bad fan fiction. It is like a car crash, you can not look away even tho it is cringing.

So if you want to get yourself a portion of sugar. Go ahead, I definitely recommend.

You must take into account tho that 2016 was also some years ago already, so production and styling wise there are some fopas.
