I would recommend that you watch this show because it is very well done and has a beautiful story.
Story
The story is about a girl that travels back in time and ends up in her past life. This is a story that is not terribly original but the way the story plays out is unlike any show I've ever seen before. Even now a few weeks after I finished it it is still fresh in my mind.
Acting
The acting was very good. I truly felt like the main girl Riuxi really had these genuine relationships with the princes and her sister. All the actors/actresses did great.
Music
The music was good
Rewatch
I would definitely rewatch this show. In fact, I'm thinking about re-watching it with my mom and sister.

The main story of this is about a woman in her early 30s, if we read in between the lines of the script, who gets sick of her wealthy husbands neglect and her mother-in-law being a stuck up cow. She files for a divorce whilst trying to create a rock band with all her ahjumma friends.
I liked the story and the ending, I know a lot of people who watched this didn't like the focus on the law side of things. It does focus more on the band nearer the end, but the divorce and other law related things take up a huge chunk of the story line. Another thing many didn't like in this story is the lack of romance in the drama. There is a bit but it is ultimately cut out. This is difficulty not your normal drama. It is perhaps the first Korean drama I've seen which doesn't carry the message "Love makes everything better and will give you eternal happiness." It also enforces the idea of keeping your morals and staying humble, over the power of money and fame. It's a story which although carries k-drama traits, deviates from the normal run of things. Which is why I like it. It's not for everyone if you go into it expecting an entire drama about music and love. It's a story about women with careers and children fighting for a piece of happiness in their lives..
Acting/Cast: 8
I'm gonna talk about the characters which stood out for me instead because I don't know any of these actors :)
First of all we have Soel Hee, the leading lady. Probably the one who goes through the most character development in this drama. She starts off as a meak kitten under her mother-in-law and turns in to a classy, sassy tiger. She can be naive at points - to the point of being almost stupid - but she keeps her morals and standards. And again, not your typical lead as she is actually a strong female lead - something you don't normally see in a k-drama.
There are the other three members of the band Soo In, a failing music producer; Ah Reum, a young mother; and Fa Ja, a mother and a sales person. They all have their issues which they have to deal with as well as being in the band. Fa Ja was my favourite out of the three purely because her husband and she were the cutest things on earth. She had annoying moments but the cuteness made up for it.
Soel Hee's ex-husband had more chemistry with her at times then the lead guy did, which is a shame. I do admit that although I like the fact we have free independent women, I wish there was a teeny bit more romance between the lead male and lady.. it was a bit anti climatic.
Other characters I can think of? The good lawyer (who helps her divorce) was a total gem, the mother-in-law was a complete b****, the rival female lead was completely delusional and the sister.. what happened to the sister? She disappears never to return... that was odd.
Music: 10/10
I downloaded the entire OST before episode 10. It's beautiful. It's played a lot but you don't get tired of it. This version of 'Million Roses' is my new favourite song.
Rewatch Value: 5/10
Not because it's a bad drama, but just because I'm not one to rewatch shows very often.. I'd replay all the music.. does that count?
Overall: 9/10.
It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I liked it. Don't expect a huge amount of romance, but the strong female lead and lack of emphasis on love is refreshing for a k-drama. Many say the ending is a disappointing but I disagree, it's realistic and humbling. Awesome drama worth watching just because of the music either ways :3

First this drama is the best one this year YES IVE SEEN ALL THE HOT KOREAN DRAMA 2016.
so before we get in. Lets talk about what most people expect from a kdrama or so i figured from comments and my own taste.
FIRST you want romance ? Check . Family values and strong bonds ? Check. Best friendship and relationships where everyone works hard to help each other ? Guess what its there.
NO naive characters here ! Everyone is so badass ! Our main lead isnt a push over goody 2 shoes lost in his own heaven. You push him he will push back. Talk shit get hit.
The story is simple and overused but its not the center at all.
Lawyer get alzheimer while still having unfinished business.
Family and close ones support him. Falls in anepic battle against conspiracy.
Each episode gives a life lesson. Every moment for this man is like 10 years.
I need to remember. Never forget what happened because of me.
The family bonds and his wife and kids make the show more fun and just your heart hurts WITH happiness when you see how they help him along the road without our lead noticing.
CUTE EYE CANDY COUPLE? Hot damn!! Romance / family / mystery / friendship / suspense and lil bit of medical all in this drama.
Best of the year so far.
Yes ive seen signal. This shit is better .
10/10 isnt fair.
I dont need to talk about acting since the male lead is A list actor. No bullshit good looking guy who cant act.
Ahjussi is here to win

“A wise man once said that getting lost in life is an opportunity to find new way. But that’s only a saying I might end up remembering today as the day when I realized that such a saying doesn’t make me feel better at all”. Park Tae Suk.
“The heart I tried so hard to ignore gives a command to my brain “Please Persevere As Long As You Can, Persevere As Long As Your Heart Is Still Beating”. Park Tae Suk.
You take a look at the synopsis and read “Alzheimer” and immediately think to yourself “What? Alzheimer again? And what is even worse there is no romance, no fairytale, no young faces… nah I won’t bother this is clearly a tearjerker and I know how it’s going to end anyway so what’s the point?” Well, you have the right to walk away if you think “Alzheimer” is depressing topic I won’t blame you BUT please bare with me here and let me try to sell this drama for you, would you?
Yes, this topic has been used countless and countless of times in dramas, in movies….etc, so what makes Memory special? There is nothing special with the story itself or the elements it has presented. Family, regret, changing the way you lived your life, sorrowful past that you want to run away from, locking away your painful memories and the pain of losing someone…etc these aren’t new topics but let’s face it how many topics can be brand new? Searching for totally brand new topics is almost like a mission impossible honestly. The trick isn’t in the topic but rather in the way it is used and presented. Memory has brought in over-used topics and turned them into a wonderful emotional ride with diverse emotions that will leave you breathless and heavyhearted. The ride was raw, real and very consuming both mentally and emotionally!
I loved how the drama made me feel for each character without leaving the show feeling depressed myself. It is clearly isn’t happy go lucky drama, it has a lot of unfortunate events but it avoids feeling over the top and it also avoids feeling like stuff happens to force viewers tears. It takes you along and you just feel all of it naturally. Doesn’t that scream “different”? I feel bad if someone would call it a tearjerker (not that I have a problem with tearjerker dramas) it is just not what Memory really is.
The best and most important two aspects that made Memory strong felt drama is the award winning acting and the wonderful cinematography/scenery and direction. Usually it is hard enough to find a drama that is excelling in one of these aspects let alone all 3 of them. Even for those of you who never notice scenery or direction you will be forced to notice them here because it is just too good, simply beautiful. The feels that this drama possesses it is all driven from the acting performance. Acting has played the most essential part in this drama along with the heart-wrenching dialogues. I loved each and every sentence spoken here especially the scenes between Park Tae Suk and his wife and Park Tae Suk and his son. Those scenes are one of the most memorable scenes in the entire drama and I wouldn’t be exaggerating when I tell you to watch it for the sake of those scenes only because they are indeed EXQUISITE.
I would love to mention each and every member of this stellar cast because they really deserve the appreciation but that would just make my review endless and words won’t do them justice. I will just mention my favourite ones. First my most favorite misters of all times and our hero here,Lee Sung Min (Park Tae Suk). Kudos to this man, let me just say to the those of you who already know how precious this actor is “congratulations he NAILED THE HELL OUT OF HIS FIRST MAIN LEAD!!” And to those who still haven’t met this man in drama land “PLEASE don’t let my review stop you and go ahead STALK DOWN his profile”. It is sad if you decide to pass on Memory but at least pick one thing for this man and make the time to watch it please. He belongs to those class actors whom you as a drama fan have to watch something for because trust me “acting” doesn’t get any better than this. This man has no limits; every minute spent on watching him he makes it all worthwhile. I also want to mention the rest of my favorites two wonderful surprises Lee Ki Woo and Lee Jun Ho. Their performance both took me by surprise, I have seen Lee Ki Woo before but not as a despicable sorry excuse of human being (which he did WONDERFULLY) and I have seen Lee Jun Ho in a movie and he was likeable then but I had no idea what kind of hidden talent this boy had until I watched him in Memory (his first drama) and boy am I still surprised that he is actually an idol, very impressive! Looking forward to their future projects.
This is one of the few dramas that are blessed with storytelling OSTs and great ones if I may say. There are many great OSTs out there but I appreciate it even more when the OSTs speak the story too this way it gets me even more emotionally invested in the story than I already am.
I generally do not rewatch dramas but I do have very few ones that I'd rewatch. However even for those who do rewatch dramas I don't think Memory is rewatchable material considering how heavy and intense the content is I think once is enough to appreciate it throughly but I also could be wrong so that's for you to decide.
Overall
Clearly this will be one of the underrated dramas here on MDL, nonetheless I have faith that there will be fans out there who are meant for this drama and hopefully will appreciate it the way it should be appreciated. If you are willing to go in an emotional ride and if you don’t mind the predetermined ending, if you are looking for well crafted story, award winning performance and beautiful heartfelt dialogues then this drama should definitely be on your plan to watch list ^^
Don’t let “Alzheimer” keep you away from a great drama such as Memory. Realising what are our priorities in life this is something which never gets old nor boring no matter how old we get we still learn and there will always be a chance to set those priorities right even with little time. "The end is soon HOPE. With the strength you have now be happy" Memory.

Watching it, you may think 'how can they possibly stretch this story line over 21 episodes' but as you get to ep 15 etc you begin to get upset about the fact that the drama will end soon.
Story
Good storyline, but you have to stick with it at some points to get the joy at the end, because many times you think you know what will happen and then it doesn't or you are thinking something and a character brings it up making it as realistic as it possibly could be. There is a bit where Jae Kyung's younger self looks exactly like his older self and everyone else looks different which makes you kind of chuckle but its a good storyline which I didn't find cliche.
Acting
Amazing, everybody acted their characters to a Tee! Do Min Joon is an amazing 'cryer' it looks so real and definitely evokes sympathy from the viewer.. Song Yi makes you laugh as well as cry, you hate Jae Kyung but understand how he became that way and the side story characters don't detract from the story but add to it making you fall in love with them. Hul Kyung and Se Mi's relationship is very realistic and I'm glad the writer chose to go the direction they did at the end.
Music
I am a big fan of OSTs and this one didn't do it for me, didn't hate it but it was nothing to go searching for, worked well with the show but was quite repetititve. Lol if you've seen some of my other reviews you know I go searching for OSTs on Spotify, I didn't for this drama.
Overall
You will laugh watching this and be on the edge of your seat at some points then cry at others. Make sure to watch to the end of each episode as the way the producers did the end of each episode was amazing, wish other dramas did that. You get to see hidden bits of each episode so as to understand why stuff happened. The ending of the drama leaves you wanting but I guess that's a good drama for you, leaves you wanting more.

“Your job needs to be something more than just a source of income”. Ok Da Jung.
Don’t let the cover picture nor the description fool you! This is no rom-com and I actually mean that in a good way. I have missed the old typical rom-com K dramas, which had meaning and had strong message to carry on. I was almost losing hope in finding good quality typical K drama BUT I finally found Ms. Temper & Nam Jung-Gi! At first it may give you the impression that it’s just a silly, funny, shallow typical k drama with lots of clichés and predictable plot. Yes, it is to some point predictable I’m not going to say it isn’t BUT is it typical? No, in my opinion it isn’t. First of all, take any rom-com drama out there (especially work related ones) and take out the “romance” element or the “comedy” element what are you left with? Basically nothing impressive, this drama on the other hand has so much more to offer you other than just romance or comedy.
The story took path where we as viewers couldn’t predict; it wasn’t really focused on one certain element but all elements and all characters equally. I loved how the work environment is the most essential element here and loved the way it was presented. They took something real and serious and presented it in a funny and humeral way at the same time kept it realistic. Therefore, you as a viewer not only will you have fun and great amount of laughter while watching but also you will appreciate/understand the message behind each and every episode here.
Ms. Temper & Nam Jung-Gi as a drama has given importance for the side characters just as much for the main characters and that is something isn’t often seen in drama land if you ask me. The story allows you to slowly understand the characters each and every one of them and takes you along with them so you will be able to understand their actions or why they decided to live their lives the way they do. In opinion what makes this drama special isn’t the story as much as the well-written characters. I wonder how the writers were able to make them so interesting and fun to watch at the same time kept them down to earth real. No perfection, no bad or evil characters here just different perspectives and different way of looking at things. Life is hard enough, we fight constant battles each day to survive we don’t have the luxury to worry about others so how far are we willing to go in order to survive? Does that make us bad/selfish people or timid spineless people? Or does it just simply make us people?
I will take a moment here and appreciate one of K drama’s best female character ever created and a true role model Ok Da Jung (Lee Yo Won). She is a strong, righteous and great person who knows exactly how to stand up for herself and wouldn’t fight using dirty methods no matter what. She may seem harsh and too blunt but she isn’t a bully and she cares mostly for the company and staff. You could learn so much from Ok Da Jung and you will probably wish you had such a great boss to work for in real life.
I think Lee Yo Won did great accepting this project, at first I was surprised because I am used to watching her in melodramas or more dark serious plots and entirely different characters than ODJ so I wondered why would an A-list actress go for cable project and with such unknown cast but I still trusted her judgment and as her fan I respect her for taking this risk. This is her first rom-com project and I’m happy she decided to explore her talent, she was wonderful as Ok Da Jung it will be almost impossible for you not to love her. The rest of the cast did splendidly especially Yoon Sang Hyun as the timid nice angel Nam Jung Gi and Hwang Chan Sung as the boy who has still yet to learn to grow into a man who can handle responsibility. It is fair to say that even the guest actors (Lee Jung Jin & Yeon Jung Hoon) did an amazing job for short appearance; I was delighted to have them on the show.
I generally do not rewatch dramas but I do have few ones that I'd rewatch. However I think this drama can easily be rewatchable material for anyone who would rewatch dramas in general because I do believe it will be just as much fun as it was the first time and frankly you never get enough of Ok Da Jung & Woo Joo's scenes.
Overall
I can see this drama will be one of the underrated dramas here on MDL and will go unnoticed. I don’t know if my review has helped or not but if you are looking for your typical fluffy romance then let me tell you this isn’t it. This drama does not focus on the romance in fact you can barely see it but you most certainly can feel it. The thing is "romance" in here is presented in mature manner but that's also has its beauty so don't let this stop you from giving the drama a chance. Ms. Temper & Nam Jung-Gi has so much more than just comedy and romance; this is a fun enjoyable ride if you are willing to appreciate what this drama has to offer. After all as Nam Jung Gi says, “Does a relationship between a man and woman have to be melo or lovely dovey fairytale? Why do people expect that?”.
Also Ok Da Jung and Woo Joo make the cutest most adorable couple ever don't miss out on that :')

Great actors/actresses even the supporting roles... I love the school cheerers!...
It's a history so a lot of lessons learned, they just add a romance to make it more interesting... But I love the classroom setting more..
Highly recommended.. It's as if you're not watching a saeguk... Very entertaining, sometimes you're brain will also get active just by watching this...

so why is this so low rated cos its not the typical romance lakorn??
To me, its romance is so real and the kisses are .....(I nearly fall off from my bed) real!!! (you can see mouth to mouth kisses and the movement of the lips from the main leads....not typical of thai drama rite??!!! LOL.....
And I really have to compare this drama with DOTS (Korean drama : Descendent of the sun) why??
because the romance start immediately and the guys are so straight forward to love crazily (fall very much in love)and confess so truthfully!!! (just like JoongKi in DOTS!!!
Past lakorns I watch are always slow for main leads to fall in love, either they hate each other first or its a arranged marriage or contract marriage. This lakorns are instant sparks so we can see how they develop the love.....the guys are really very much in love with the girls (2nd couple too)
As this is a action drama, of cos you cant just focus on the romance part, there are villians to get rid off, family to answer to and there is a slight twist in this lakorn about the identity of the main lead girl.
But believe me, the romance is in the right pace and very enjoyable!!
From my previous watched list of lakorns, this is the first lakorn that I find it totally different and more like a korea script....just my opinion. and I hope more ppl will watch this and feel it with me too....
Cheers!!

The drama is special in the sense that the gab is our heroine and the eul is our hero, which is refreshing in the kdrama world. Naturally, the main draw of the drama is the female lead Ok Da-jung. Ok Da-jung is a fast-rising employee at Gold Chemicals and this led to her being the subject of many malicious rumours. In reality, she's a righteous person who does not stand for things such as the abuse of power. She's extremely principled, and believes in having pride in her own work. On the flip-side, our hero Nam Jung-gi, who is a timid employee at a small company, avoids responsibility like it's the plague. The contrast between their characters makes for a very interesting (and comedic) watch.
Ok Da-jung is such a great character that it's impossible to not love her. Lee Yo-won is perfect as the immaculately dressed heroine. It's almost as if the role was tailor made for her! She was spectacular in all of her scenes (the stoic ones, the emotional ones, and even the downright ridiculous ones). Yoon Sang-hyun turned in an incredible performance with his spot-on comedic timing as Nam Jung-gi. In fact, all of the cast delivered splendid performances. The only exception is Hwang Bora, whose crying scenes appear forced and unnatural at times.
Ok Da-jung's relationship with Nam Woojoo (Nam Jung-gi's son) is also something to look out for. Cute would be a serious understatement. Their chemistry is off the charts. Some may even argue that they are the OTP in the series.
The directing and writing of Ms. Temper are all good. The key point being that the drama maintained a consistent pace throughout the 16 episodes, meaning that it does not suffer from the same problems most kdramas do - waning after the mid-point. This is really impressive for a rookie writer. The use of CGI and various sound effects in the drama also adds to its hilarity.
On the other hand, the drama is not flawless. One criticism would be that there are some overly simplistic plot points. Ok Da-jung seems omnipotent in the series, always coming to the rescue when there is trouble. And the Lovely employees always manage to get into trouble. Some may also be bothered about how unrealistic it is that she's had three husbands, and all of them want a reconciliation. That being said, we can hardly complain since that put Lee Jung-jin and Yeon Jung-hoon on our screens.
Overall, this is an enjoyable drama which should appeal to anyone who's looking for dramas centered around a strong female character. However, if you're looking for a drama with more realism with respect to the business side of things, this is not it. In fact, most dramas don't do business correctly. The good thing about this drama, to quote a knetz, is that there is a right blend of realism (the issues that they tackle) and fantasy elements (how everything gets resolved, albeit a little too easily). Also, the bribery and cajoling may not be something that happens in your society, but it is something more relatable to the Korean viewers. So do take that into account when complaining about how unrealistic this drama is.
DISCLAIMER: My unusually high ratings for this drama is because I rate dramas base on the rating given by MDL. In the sense that if I think a drama is underrated, I'm going to give higher ratings for it. A more objective rating would be an 8. But there are tons of shitty dramas getting 8 here and I don't think that gives enough credit to Ms. Temper.

Uee and Lee Seo Jin took super cliché characters and made them feel real. I'm not a Uee fan, but I was super impressed. Her character goes through so much, and she nailed every moment. I think she's missing some of the charm that other actresses have, so she often comes across as too cold for me (even when she's being sweet), but she gave a very believable performance. Lee Seo Jin gave a great performance too, that proved he's more than just dimples. My only complaint is that some of his really big smiles looked more creepy than genuine. His tears however were extra heartbreaking. Watching their bittersweet relationship is the heart of this drama, and why it worked at all for me.
I admit that in the beginning I didn't like any of the characters. For the first few episodes no one was likable, not even the cute kid. Uee was the most sympathetic in the beginning, but she was also so pathetic that I was frustrated watching her. Then, around episode 4, things finally started to shift for me. Suddenly I was binge watching, barely able to stop myself from watching what happened next. Han Ji Hoon became more charming, Kang Hye Soo became more admirable, and their chemistry started to develop into something engaging. Shin Rin Ah as Eun Sung was also such a strong character that I think she deserves a main character status. She gave a performance that showed she was just as talented as her adult cast members. If she's that good now, I can only imagine how good she can be in the future,
The rest of the supporting cast was excellent as well, even really minor characters, except for one. Kim Young Pil was really bad, like REALLY bad. I almost removed a whole acting point for how bad he was. I'm not sure it was all his fault, because the character was written as being petty and ridiculous, but he just seemed too over the top and fake evil, even for a melodrama. Honestly, all of the characters are pretty one note, and don't have much depth, but the actors managed to insert depth into their performances. Like bad dad Kim Yong Gun, who was text book evil, but he was such a believably unbelievable character who's outrageous actions cured a lot of my boredom with the rest of the plot.
I think the writer is the problem for me. The plot is predictable, it's full of everything you've already seen in a drama. So many of the female characters seemed to be irrationally obsessed with men (husbands, exes, sons) that I often had a hard time empathizing with them. Some of the episodes felt repetitive. There were about five episodes where the literal plot was cry, plan to divorce, cry again. Some other episodes rely heavily on flashbacks, which was annoying. I became invested in the characters and their relationships, so I could never bring myself to stop watching, but I definitely had to push my way through to the end. It did pick up momentum again in the last episodes, and I did like the ending (though it was nothing original), but I just didn't fall in love with this drama the way others did.
This is similar to the problems I had with "Secret", which has the same writer. Weak characters, a predictable plot, skippable scenes, a pathetic lead character always in tears, dragging episodes...
I did like the direction, the same guy who directed "Kill Me, Heal Me". That, and the cast may be what made me like this drama much more than "Secret". My one complaint is that the blatant product placements were pretty hilarious.
I thought the music was not great either. Some of the music chosen seemed so out of place. I did appreciate that Ji Hoon's ringtone was mo' better blues, which gave some insight in how important music was to the character. Too bad they never incorporated a real musical storyline in the actual script.
That could have helped me understand why he struggled so much to join the company.
Would I watch this again? Only if I am feeling apathetic and want to cry my eyes out to prove I still have feelings.
Overall, I would only recommend this drama to fans of super sad melodramas like "49 Days" (which had too much cloud of impending doom for me), "Scent of a Woman" (which I loved, and had similar themes), or "Secret" (which proved to me I do have a melodrama limit). Romance fans will be able to appreciate the love story, and some of the family themes are heart warming, but this is a drama you have to buy a jumbo tissue box for and then just embrace the chronic eye wetness.

It has a lot of unrealistic events but I guess it should be ok because this is fantasy drama, but for a picky watcher as I am it sometimes ruined the mood.
The acting & cast is amazing! They all did a great job and gave their all! I love that every character had its very own and strong personality and when those personalities met it's 100% promised entertainment!
I also liked how this drama was "built". Humor has a strong presence and I loved it! This is truly a fresh/bubbly drama! <3 one more time; I can't express how positive surprise the cast and humorous acting was!
9/10 episodes were extremely awesome but as many other watchers, I was disappointed with the final episode. I heard they had to cut episodes out because of the low rating in Korea and if that isn't sad then what is. I hate speedy endings/story lines that just end/"1 year later" endings and this ending was almost like a mixture of them all. I was super disappointed but when I learnt the reason I started to feel bad for the whole filming crew ;;__________;; ending should be well & carefully planned and that possibility was ruined for this drama.
Long story short; even though Surplus princess had its problems it is still, definitely, worth to watch! This drama proves the speculation; "If you fall in love with the characters, you keep watching no matter what"

Story:
It was a well written plot. With 100 episodes they really get into the details of the story, so it’s not like the kind of revenge plot where the main character's motives are all in 5mins flashbacks. The upside to this is you can see how each character grows and develops with each bag of poop Chun Mi Ja throws them, the downside is that it’s so damn long (they could have tightened the first part a little).
Most of the characters are very well developed except for a few like Lee Tae Hyeon but I guess it’s inevitable because there a quite a few main characters in the show.
Honestly what I really like about the whole show was how Oh Ha Ni and Sung Soo stood their ground and held true to their beliefs even when almost everyone turned their backs on them. Though to be honest they were very typical protagonist type of character. I think that was the point of the show, are you will to become the devil to take down the devil himself (or in this case herself)? However it is not to say they were flat, they showed how they are willing to get their hands dirty sometimes.
Acting/Cast:
Oh Hyun Kyung did a really good job of portraying Chun Mi Ja, her strengths/weaknesses, what drives her and the way she views the world. Honestly I really detested Chun Mi Ja's character but I guess it also shows how convincing OHK's acting was.
Everyone else did okay there were no terrible actors they all did quite well.
Music:
Nothing special actually but not terrible
Rewatch Value:
Did I mention it’s so damn long? If I'm on a looooong holiday SURE, but if not I think I might pass because I'm sure there are shorter revenge dramas that are just as good.
But if I did I think I would watch the first few episodes then skip 3 or 4 episodes at a time until Ha Ni makes her comeback which is I think around the halfway mark. Then I just watch all the way to the end (to savour every moment of Chun Mi Ja's downfall).
Overall:
Yes watch it everyone!!!! It really is very interesting. It made me scream at the injustice being done but it also left me with a satisfied feeling after everything. If you have the time I recommend to just give this drama a try.
Thank you for reading my first ever review but I thought since there were not many reviews I thought I'd write one.

Acting was a little uneven. Queen Wei started out as a singer, and this is her first major role- and it showed. I just couldn't feel her emotions even when she cried with abandon. Initially, I bought their romance since Jason and Queen had decent chemistry. As the drama progressed, however, I started to root for the second leads, for Jason and Queen to both end up with different people. I honestly did not like Queen's character, An An. She is so indecisive and wishy-washy. The leads' scenes couldn't make me cry but I loved the supporting characters. They kept me from dropping the drama.
The story itself had some surprising components that made you want to continue watching as well. Story-wise, it was compelling enough I guess but the acting distracted me. Sometimes, I would be so fixated on the lack of emotion that I can't feel the emotion the drama is trying to get me to feel. That said, I do like the story as a whole and the pros overweighed the cons since I liked the overall plot arc. The side stories, for the most part, contributed to the main story.
The last episode wrapped up the drama really well though. It's definitely one of the better last drama episodes I've watched. Everything was wrapped up nicely and it gave closure!
Music was pretty good. There was one or two emotional songs that balanced well with the scenes.
Re-watch? Nah, once is good.
I recommend this drama with a grain of salt. Watch it if...
-you don't mind some mediocre acting
-you like dramas set in the entertainment industry+romance+a satisfactory ending.
-really nice bromance. In this case, I loved the bromance more than the actual romance!
(8/8)
