Suffering is never an excuse to be rude

The first part of the show was indeed crazy, I loved episode 2 the most, the fact that without loosing her humanity but taking vengeance upon this narcissistic CEO was so satisfying to watch and the crazy Krystal was beautifully mad. How they turn the clichés, how they finish them, how the relationship developed, the only and it's not nothing, but my only dissatisfaction from the first arc of the story were the instructors which were boring so I skipped and skipped a lot.
The second part of the story, how to tell you, was so conforting, healing, soothing, it was the less angsty thing I watched, problems were solved without much dramatic and tension and yes it wasn't waouh but sometimes I just need these kinds of dramas that don't break your heart into pieces.
How GoJin didn't understand why everybody wanted to harm him and took time to realise it and finally saw how bad he has been was realistic and him apologizing, it's just perfect, not a perfect drama had flaws, but when my number one comfort drama.

Not perfect but perfectly addictive

I wasn't sure about starting this drama or not, from the poster it was for me but comments were mixed. I watched it anyway and the first episodes cinematography was amazing. And as a romance watcher, I was shipping Sung Un and Hwal from their encounter. The show dragged yes but that made me more willing to know. The villain attachment to Hwal was what made him crazy but I couldn't hate him neither. I loved the family, the Ost was gorgeous, Ifelt their pain, was worried for the, and the FL ML moments, I just wanted to have more of those, so I'm just a little not satisfied of the end. I wanted a happy ending, a long one, not a four last minutes one, and I would have been fully grateful. Loved you little show and cast, I think I'm going to watch cast's previous dramas but it won't be the same, my little drama is over ?

Twenty One or Twenty Five

Fantasy, romance and Hye Ri, of course I was in. The first episodes I felt that we concentrated too much on personal matters, not much on fantasy part. Was the fantasy here to just serve the romance. Last episode was complete opposite, we had the why of the fantasy part, and man, that was really something in dramaland, detailed, explained and logical, that changed from what I had lacked in Bulgasal for example (no I didn't forgive you yet, writers), I found myself wanting more cheesiness months later, I know, and the final episode would have been perfect.
Let's talk about some actors, I've seen Seo Hae An in An another drama and It was like he was another person, he mastered his role very well, the accent, the acting, chapeau bas !
Aaah and Tae Hee's uncle oh my god, I've seen him a long time ago, in a drama that I hated, Que Sera Sera, more than a decade later, I laughed so much with this role, he was not the poor SML anymore, he and Dong Joo's uncle, were almost my favourite pairing of the show. I let it go, but I wasn't happy with Chung Ha's closure, imagine, after what happened to Dong Joo in the last episode, she would have broke up with Tae Hee, I'm sorry, I can understand, but Tae Hee was Chung Ha's whole world, I just imagine how it was painful being left after 10 years of happiness, I just think he was so damaged, but it must have been very tough for her.
The journey of watching this drama, wasn't exceptional but it has been fun and a lot of tears on the finale.

A narwhal among the whales and belugas

The drama tried to portray a little the life of an autistic person in the first episodes, and it did well, the contrast between Young Woo and her genius skills Vs the case where the autistic man lived a more difficult life with his family, the drama tried to show that not all of the patients had the same symptoms and the hope to have a relatively normal life.
But Woo Young Woo was more than a portayal of the disease, she was every person who is feeling weird in this world ruled by things we don't necessarily share or have. It was the most touching break up, noble idiocy, no, it was a sincere question, she didn't think she'll make him happy and it was reasonable not stupid like we're used to in dramas.
Loved the romance, the side couple that emerged, Attorney Jung and his kindness, the lessons that the drama tried to deliver through the cases, it was the only drama I could watch though my drama slump, it was simple yet deep, not extraordinary yet touching, I enjoyed it, and if Park Eun Bin doesn't want to, I respect that, but the finale left me eager for more, the revelation about her relationship with Tae Su Mi, her dongsaeng, how she'll continue her journey, two years are indeed long, but who knows.

Enjoy your life

I didn't watch the korean verdion so I can't compare. I'm going through a drama slump so I'm not in a mood for long dramas, and prefering japanese dramas which are shorter, I binge watched the first episodes liking it then it got a little boring but it mostly due to the fact that I didn't like ML's acting, when he showed his kind side, it was not credible for me, it was overplayed. The friendship between the two girls is beautiful, the messages on the first part of the drama, don't look down on yourself, nice, then I missed the strong Risa but we're all human beings, and indeed a place where you belong and which makes you shine is one of the most valuable treasures.

Clichés all over but who cares

wedding without parents and her family ?
She is in a coma for 3 days but her parents are not in the hospital ??
She got stalked, in a car accident, and most of clichés
Even if those things bothered I couldn't help but loved it, that scene from ep 1 where Anri Chan wants to end her life because her sickness is getting her parents pay money for operations and hospital, she made me think about some mistakes parents do, only seeing their part of pain, forgetting that their child is in pain too, Sakura Chan, was the main character of the drama, she was certainly a Baka ? but really adorable, full of positive energy, the actress looked like a mix of Yoon Eun Hye and Park Shin hye,
Thank you little drama, binge watched in two days though I was in a drama slump.

A simple yet amazing and touching drama ♥️♥️

It was an enjoyable journey, we watched them from them having 30 to 37 if I'm not wrong and it left me satisfied, no break ups, everything is getting time to be. The character of Qiao Jing Jing really touched me, the way she was a shoulder to lean on and how her reactions to others problems where intelligent. I liked when Yu Tu said no to her dating ask, she didn't fall in depression, she continued to live, to smile, carrying that sadness but dealing with life and it was a beautiful lesson on how we have to go on. When Yu Tu realised he had feelings for her, she didn't forget and said yes easily. She was hurt and it felt so realistic. She needed a little time to think about it and for him to realise how hard it was for her.
It was such a nice and beautiful drama , loved it.

Heartwarming and healing

When I started the drama, I didn't think I'd love it that much and now, I'm already missing it.
All the characters were realistic, had problems and learnt how to deal with them, the side characters weren't distraction. And even if at first I kept wanting more SikHye screen moments, I loved GongJin, cried with Gongjin and laughed with its villagers.
The plot, it was simple, it was a remake of Mr Hong they said, and the director got us with previews that let you wait worried will that happen like the movie or not. And It wasn't like the movie, it was written in a beautiful straight mature way that will raise your expectations in Dramaland. Tell dramas that we don't break up but we face problems together, tell them that facing typhoons don't matter if we're on the same boat. Hye Jin is the best decision maker FL I've seen( apart the hitting part, skip that part please hhh) but she knows what she wants, and care, support and doesn't run away when needed.
The acting was sometimes missing it but I chommal enjoyed the journey from Romantic Sunday to tearful one to satisfied one. I'll miss these Saturday and Sunday nights that showed me that waiting for the release of the episodes every week can be sometimes better than binge watching <3

Well written drama

This is my third drama talking about gomiho and this was the best. At first i found oreshin hh a little cold and with no expressions but it was a gumiho role and by time the actor got more different interactions and feelings to express. I loved hye sun, her presence made shin woo yeo's world more interesting, loved their bickering hh. Hye Ri was stunning, lee dam seemed true, funny, honest.. Finally loved that red thread but it took me a while hhh Ah and the final, thank you for giving us an after he become a human scenes, cause most of the dramas cut and let you wanting more.
A really warm good made fantasy rom com...

This drama is a beautiful fantasy romance genre. Shin Hye Sun was amazing, how she portrayed at first what seemed arrogance, then sweetness sadness depression. She was really great at doing desperate Giselle. Kim Myung Soo was doing good too. The special effects were very beautiful, the soundtrack heartbreaking while it had to be. Keum Ru Na and Jin Su were frightning hh, the Hu Sunbae very funny.
What bothered me was the religious part, I didn't like seeing God described as they did in the drama. Writing dramas then attributing, even if everybody knows it's just a drama, attributing facts to God, it made me unconfortable,
Happy about the end a 9.5 drama for me...

Both Shadow and light are present in you

It's not spectacular, it's not gonna make your heart stop, okay sometimes yes, but it made me curious. It's this plot, those characters...
First episodes were half half. The atmosphere was heavy, that house, I hate that house and decoration, it added suffocation and on top of that, without being a ghost even her dad freaked me out. But Gu San Yeong and that ghost, what with the hair accessory, and why and why, and there I was calmly addicted to the story.

Gu San Yeong Was not the hero type. But I loved her.
She represents everyone who wish to stand for the right things but could weaken a little whan facing dilemmas, so was HongSae.
After HongSae really had more time screen and understood what really was going on, things got really interesting on a superior level. His encounters with the ghost were always strangely a pleasure to watch, he was the first one miss ghost talked to "normally". And My romance watcher self showed up liking how he cared for San Yeong, subtle romance is so realistic and touching.
Professor Yeom was interesting to guide the plot but maybe lacked a little thing for me to be fully invested in the character, his relationship with Ujin should have maybe lasted more cause it gave him more background and dimension.
Are ghost more frightening than humans,sadly no. A ghost is the symbol of human hidden bad desires. I liked how the writer took care of this side till the end.

A special mention to Kim Tae Ri's incredible interpretation of the ghost, she mastered it. And Oh Jung Se's too, I recognised some expressions of Sang Tae, fear, doubt, from It's okay to not be okay, rare are actors who acts that good in DramaLand.

PS: Can't the main leads be casted again together, pleaaase hh

Like A Phoenix which has come to birth again from its ashes

Yoo In Na's character at first was a little immature or let's say not considerate. She analyzed things which I liked but analyzed it too much, and made a relationship between a couple less human, it was frustrating but character development would come, so let's wait.
And it did, those conversations between Bo Ra and Si Hyeok, about love, life, if the drama would have been only that, I would have been okay too.
The drama tried to be realistic and shared some of our parts that we can be ashamed of. She wanted her three years with her now ex boyfriend to be worth of it, and we've been through five episodes of breakup. It was maybe heavy, but she was so human and there was So Hyeok so who likes a damsel in destress little trop was well served, they were cute, and she let her ex love life go for no return(in her heart not our screen though).
Su Hyeok, aaah, I've thought, with Bo Ra, it'll be different, he'll swallow that pride and tell her, eeeuh no, he made her wait, he made us wait, I was going to be mad at him, I understand you can't change that easily, but you can't cross a certain in the patience limit, but then the drama made it well, that book having an open ending made Bo Ra an even more likable character, she knows what she wants, fights for it, but accepts defeat and that's not the end of a life.
His confession, I've never seen something, that honest, that real, that hilarious, that touching.
It reminded me of the garbage scene, that will become iconic hhhh you know when it seems to become pathetic or sad, writers turn it into a hilarious scene that you're just enjoying.
You Jeong and her husband, maybe I didn't see enough dramas with that trope, but seeing a married couple having this kind of problem and I thought they will divorce, and so glad, they knew how to deal with it, all this drama felt real, mature, warm, healing.
It was Bo Ra born from Deborah, she was the drama, a not perfect drama but a different and cozy one.

Not a masterpiece but a good watch

Communication is the lifeline of any relationship...
The main couple had great chemistry mostly due to ML I think, at first I didn't see that age gap they were talking about cause she was not that young and he was not that old in real life.
I loved them but him not willing to talk to her about his problems and not realising at first, and his behaviour in front of her parents almost ruined it for me, I'm happy she forgave him but didn't matter another episode so that he truly apologises.
The FL and her father cared about each other and it was touching though sad that family members do always this, we don't say that we love each other unless it's late ..
The second best friend should have thought more about how she was with her boyfriend, he should have talked to her before, and she should have understood even after...
We, as people, should talk explain to each other what is going wrong, cause unless we'll just end up messing our lives and missing good memories we would have had with them ..

Hilarious and touching ♥️

After a heavy drama, this one will certainly enlighten the mood for you.
I mean, the story isn't original but it it works very well. Little King Kong and the heroine, excuse me, little King Kong and the hero, were touching, charming, funny. Unlike most of the viewers, I've watched Happiness and come to know Park Hyung Shik and watched Doom at your service before this one, so the visuals of course for Park Hyung Shik it was like it was another actor he was serious loving caring in Happiness and here ? he was naturally hilarious, I loved both of his roles, for Park Bo young I preferred this one, superpower girl suits her better ♥️ It was that binge watchable drama that will remain in your comfort dramas type, It was a warm watch, Gamsamnida...

Education through Love

The drama could have been better but It was a very addictive watch ❤️
K (skincare and danse discoverd by Yao's parents), Lao Mao( can't figure out nothing), Chubby(I've been your support for two years why don't you buy me stuff ?), Ming, the manager, Tong Yao's parents, her best friend, even her ex-boy friend I felt sorry for him, he seemed very sincere in getting her back, all these side characters made me laugh, made me sad, I wanted them to win, to talk, to get over their hardships.
As for the main couple, Cheng wasn't that cold, he was just bossy but cared his own way of his teammates, he was protective and responsible. Tang Yao has been through much stress and that's what ruined a little bit the mood but they were facing reel problems that stars especially in Asia face, this idolisation of people and the deception of the fans can reach extreme when the singers actors or celebrities are very known, and the drama dealt with it in what I felt a realistic way.
One of my best scenes will remain the one with the talk behind closed door between Cheng and Yao, his realisation that he needs them to be with him and face problems together. And the talk between the ZGDX team that followed, it was touching, sincere, funny, well acted.
PS: as a kdrama lover, I loved hearing Korean in this drama even if it wasn't always that fluent but loved it anyway ❤️
