great show but you must put yourself in the kdrama mindset

this is a really really good show..
it deals with a lot of real life issues.. no matter how old you are.. some of these things are real...

yes its true.. u probably wont like anyone in the drama for the first half of the drama.. even maybe till the 6th episode.. except the male lead and his best friend..

and even more so if your not in the kdrama mindset.. (ie suspend real life thinking.. ) then you probably would hate EVERYONE except the forementioned male lead and best friend...

but if u can get past reality (or just suspend it) and just listen to the story and see the growth of all the characters.. it really becomes a joy of self love.. self discovery and acceptance.. of who you are and what your limitations are.. whether its real or imagined..

the acting from the male lead is great.. the fl lead is decent.. was the chemistry between the two.. depends.. on how u see it.. its not lovey dovey.. and in my opinion. it shouldnt have been.. its acceptance. that.. your partner may be lacking in areas.. but.. u still consider them.. wonderful enough to be with.. as in real life

the music was good..

the support cast was fun and good.. though.. the sister.. i just wonder why they wrote her.. in.. headcount..? :)

really really good show.. yes.. it has its issues and yes in real life..what some of these characters did.. should be and would be despicable.. but.. thats why i watch kdrama.. to escape real life.. and to suspend my belief in reality for a few hours at a time

feels like tempo of this show.. is off.. somehow

this show gives me mixed feelings and i was waiting for it for a while.. but... just dunno...

the cast is great and the chemistry is awesome.. the plot and the story is ok.. solid..

maybe the pacing.. or maybe the weird ways they ties the characters to each other.. felt.. forced.. strained.. like hold ur imagination even harder.. even though everything else is possibly as real as kdrama real life can get

some ties are natural and work better than others.. i guess is how i put this..

the story is light relatively fluffy.. no true evil mastermind.. except the usual.. reaching daddys love/approval and power... which for me seems like a weird story to tell parallel to the main characters issues and plot development..

which somehow they realized and felt like they just dropped it midway through..

its a good show.. just... theres something missing.. or off about it

if you like mysteries and thrillers -- watch this

this was really a good mystery and thriller drama.

firstly the story was so so solid.. the 3 disparate "cases" and how they tie in together into one giant thing was amazing. i was just hooked on this.. trying to figure out how they can merge these 3 cases together.. and man what a cascade it was..

the logic.. shown.. the investigation by both the police and the ppl in the cases was great.. they didnt make any one group smarter or dumber than the other.. that was refreshing..

how it kept shading or foreshadowing the biggest explaination to this whole thing and it turned out be a giant red herring.. was so much fun..

the cast did their roles well.. i was sucked in on each persons portrayal of their characters.. and the changes they went through.. throughout the show.. from where each character started at the beginning of the show.. to flashbacks of how there were in the past ... to how the ended finally at the end of the show...

just wow...

music was ok.. didnt overwhelm or distract

as with these types of story once u see it once theres no replay value.. cause u already know but.. its so good that first time

also as a side note and ending.. after u finish this show.. go to utube and look up avenue x final review for this show...

it will tell you the difference between the show and the book.. and that change.. that was done.. makes u appreciate this adaption even more and makes u think even more about how the show went and the characters in a possibly different lite

one character in particular

its a good light thai rom com

i dont watch much thai dramas.. but most of the ones i have watched.. were much heavier much more melodramatic..

this was really light hearted.. fun rom com... some of the beats of the original were there but its not really a straight remakes.. the characters were all there but the setups and the situations are all different and major parts of the chinese version didnt make it into this one..

the 2 ml were fun to watch.. the fl lead character was written much more unsure of herself.. putting a much tougher fascade that is much more easily broken.. than in the other version..
the ml character was about the same.. not much difference though i felt a bit less arrogant? throughout the show..

their chemistry was good..

the 2nd leads.. was fun but a bit weird.. short.. kinda underdeveloped..

the antagonists on both sides.. time and kwang.. were done well for their parts... strangely time had more screen time than kwang and more time to cause havok.. but it was light overall

good show music was catchy...

nice adaption.. wouldnt call it a remake.. and the surprise cameos at the end were fun

Its very good down to earth solid drama

this is a very cliche various tropes but solid drama with a bunch of good vibes..

its light and fluffy.. with a hint of melodrama that doesnt dive too deep but just enough to cause some heartache/sorrow..

like most dramas its a mix of tropes.. but these are done well and blended together and not one storyline truly overshadows all the other side plots...

there are 3 couples / 6 ppl that all grow and develop as the drama moves forwards.. some more than others but they are all relativately equally spread out in terms of plot points and resolutions..

each character basically has to find themselves and accept their insecurities.. as well as each others insecurities..

theres truly not out of the blue plot points.. well..technically there is.. which is the one thing i dont understand how it helped either character.. but i personally just wrote it off as these characters needed something else as a conflict/endgame.. but.. it def felt forces/unneccessary.. but eh.. thats just me

the friendship between the girls were amazing and fun to watch.. the interaction between the 6 was great...

im not a great judge of acting.. but it wasnt bad in my opinion.. others may disagree

the music was nice.. and wasnt too out of place...

this was a drama u can watch and smile throughout and just enjoy.. while u forget life for about 40 mins at a time

thanks

life lessons for those growing up with a massive inferiority complex

we all have it... an inferiority complex of some sort.. whether its massive like the main F lead of this show
or less massive like the cold M lead of this show.. its in there somewhere..

this show will help u work through that or show u that it may all be in ur head.. do what u do and things hopefully will work out but it is definitely not as bad as u are thinking..

the stories within this show.. deals with all 4 main characters living learning and dealing with their indivisual complexes on top of life in general..
each chapter gives u a nice depiction of what happens when u let ur complexes rule over u.. or what happens when u overcome them or try ur best to work through them..

sometimes it works.. others it doesnt.. but its never as bad as it seems..

the cast in this ensemble is great and the chemistry btw everyone involved is wonderful

the music is catchy and u will probably hum a few choruses randomly after the show..

its a good slice of life growing up show.. yes u will probably get annoyed a time or 5 on they characters dealing with the same complex over and over again.. but its life.. these things dont go away.. u just hide them for as long as u can till u cant hide them no more..

this show.. does that wonderfully.. recommended when ur having a bad day.. this will put a smile on ur face

Really good story about ppl you probably know in real life

this is a really really good show..

the story is solid.. if a bit overdramatized at the end -- but then its a drama soo.....

the cast is really really solid.. and the characterzation of each person is pretty grounded.. each has clearly defined needs and wants and how they believe to best achieve it.. each has their own quirks and thoughts.. strengths and weaknesses that reflect on their actions and how they do things and live their lives on the show...

the interplay between the ML and FL was great.. the tension the will they and wont they.. its a really slow burn love story thats not overt. (due to real life age difference -- but on screen it doesnt really show that much to me)

the mother of the FL -- was annoying and endearing at the same time.. just like all our parents

again the ending was kinda forced.. i think they tacked on just to give it some drama -- and the resolution was bleh

but overall really really good watch

fun light quick watch noona drama that doesnt take itself too seriously

this drama is so so much fun

its light its a bit silly.. i mean really the person that styled he ML was obsessed with grease... i swear

but over the chemistry in the cast was amazing the ML/FL was very good
the 2nd couple was weird.. their story had the drama/trauma part but.. it was glossed over.. soo... eh
the 3rd couple was cute and light and sweet
the 4th couple was fun wish it had more screen time instead being deterrants to both the ml/fl leads

the story was light the music was definitely catchy.. too bad the main theme isnt on spotify

if u like noona without too much heartache but that will they wont they pull.. this is it

fun watch binged in 2 days

a worth remake of the original

this is a good show.. if the original never came out it would be good on its own

like the original it has its own pluses and minuses.. overall it plays homage to the original while adding its own flair and twist to it

its worth a watch

the story was good and it took all the main points of the original and the classic scenes.. some exactly the same others.. twisted enough to give it its own flavor.. i liked that.. the ghost stories followed the original with one or two extra.. and i felt the ghost stories here had more depth.. more explaination on the reasons behind it.. it felt more fleshed out
the main plot felt more impactful.. more heavy or weightier than the original.. the reasoning behind the whole thing felt stronger.. and it gave the 2nd fl lead more impact.. and more things to do.. whether u liked that or not..

the romance between the two leads was definitely more fleshed it.. it felt less rushed that the original.. less need for the leap of logic..

the acting.. was definitely a bit weaker than the original but the chemistry was there between the cast.. it just needed more time to show up and develop.. it did get better as the show went along..

the music wasnt anything special but it was good when there was some and imposed a sense of the feeling needed for the scene.. but nothing to play over and over again..

watch this for the story.. ull see and no doubtly compare most of it to the original.. but overall its good on its own.. a remake that does the original justice while imparting its own flair and storytelling for their intended audience

Theres a lot of hurt hidden in every character for this drama

This drama is really good but man theres a whole lot of hurt and pain hidden within each of the main characters. No matter how upbeat and bright someone seems on the outside like in life theres pain deep inside each one of them.

Its a great drama the chemistry is great among the actors.

The main couple have some extremely cute and cuddly moments on top of a whole lot of painful moments. The 2nd couple was weird but cute story just never saw the reasoning behind their attraction besides one sided.

The final couple was soundly resolved and it was a nice short story for them.

The daughter was super cute and wonderful jn the show as were the coworkers

Music wasnt too repitive and was nice soft fits the show

Good show. Get rdy a few tissues. But then it will make u smile and even laugh

Good watch

Amazing and Painful at the same time

this show is amazing..
the storyline is good.. the multiple threads throughout the show is woven skillfully and never boring
the pace of this is great.. in my opinion.. you never get too high or too low. but damn the low parts.. are painful as heck..

the cast and the leads are amazing the interaction between the three main women characters.. how they are tied how they care and hate and love each other.. just amazing

the romance is both sweet and painful.. and so painful it is.. u may just end up screaming at the characters for their choices but its all within their characters... still painful as heck

the music is amazing.. it just works..

on top of that with that many couples and that many leads they have just enough depth for each minor character to get a little story/development of their own.. and its just an epic showing of how great the writing is for this show..

overall its a great story.. good vs evil.. lots of grey.. but still they dont shade it too much.. the romance is cute for all three.. though its painful as heck for all three.. and there no real resolution.. per se but.. its a "happy" ending for its part

watch it.. its worth it..

Perfectly adequate

This show is good. The cast works well together
The story line has some good parts and very little draggy parts though if you dont like either of the secondary couple u can skip through without losing much

The dev of the ml is where most of the story centers on. His development as a person to round out his almost computer like mind

The fl character development centers around her career and to a lesser extent her confidence in herself and her judgement.

The chemistry works well between the fl and ml and u can see how tentative the kisses are between them at the beginning till the end

The story is run of the mill smart guy no emotions met emotional girl with too big of a heart rub off on each other support each other etc... both have their own crosses to bear and they learn to support and love each other over time

All the conflicts are resolved in a course of one or 2 episodes and nothing too crazy

Music is a bit repetitive but good earworm sometimes

Overall light and sweet but not too over the top

Worth the watch to get u in a smiling mood

Slice of life done well

This show is about growing up and slice of life done so well... c drama writers do this genre so well and this is just another example

The cast was great and the bond between the 5 was amazing

The story hits all the major points of growing up and doesnt extend them into draggy long winded story... like an afterschool special with a subject in dealing with death or loss of something special to parents and emotions ... simple.depictions of said subject then even simpler resolutions and move on to the next thing

The romance for the ML and FL is great. Wish the same could be said for the 2nd but not all in life works out. Which sucks but thats life

Just fun light watch. Watch it to feel good for the holidays
