Just waste of time.

The story starts great but by the end of the episode 1, cringe moment starts. ML looks and is a Playboy and FL trying to be an aspiring editor. Excel in her job and she likes MLs first novel. And then she thinks she is in love with him. And it a starts to get annoying. Random shi*t is added. A journalist comes and gets to know all his past and questions him but don't know why she smirks as if she was there for some revenge?? Why show it randomly like that if it's not concerned.

Good things about this show is
*SL
*Her colleagues supported her when she was going through rejection
*She giving up on it by the end of the drama.

The rest is all just bs.

The story is smooth going… sweet and cute kind of love story. Some kind real life experience with not much typical kind of plpts. And I expected that like in other dramas the rival of main female lead will be same kind with tauntings and hatred nd playing tricks against her but there was nothing like that. It was a nuetral sweet story. And adding game effects in the drama… I totally loved it. But I expected that till the end but they stopped in the midway. That game effects in middle to middle were totally lovable(for me).

And songs and music was good too.

OSTs are good too. And ending song by Yang Yang awwww... That was unexpected. Loved that ending song.

Definitly worth watching (not for those who cant stand nuetral stories with much twists).
I would definitlty recommend to watch this show.

It will leaves a bitter taste??

STORY : It was fine but too many repeative scenes. Like she gets amensia 3-4 times? I wish they added something else to the plot or could have shortened ot more to be good. There's romance, revenge and mystery?? If people don't really figure out the villain. If you bear with first three episodes i think you will be able to enjoy it. Coz ML hate and behavior towards FL was hard to watch. Its cliche like there SFL who likes ML and she schemes towards FL. And SML, idk if he actually liked FL lmao.

CAST : All the cast was good. Acting was good too.

MUSIC : was good

Cons: The forced kisses, repetitive amnesia, ending.

If they had left without showing that two years later it would have been perfect. (For me)

If you just like something with good chemistry between couple, kisses and stuff you can go for it.

Not worth the time.

Probably nobody or not many people gonna watch it but still I feel like reviews should save the time for others. so I am writing.

I don't know if it was like back 5-6yrs, I would have enjoyed it but now it's a complete no. I am not when this was filmed but aired on 2017, so I was expecting it won't be like the old ones. The drama, cinematography, costumes everything looked like they were filmed way before.

The main point is story of this drama. I had not much hopes on this but still was expecting something fine after checking out the year it came out. The story starts off. She ending up as a maid, was kinda ridiculous. Still I convinced myself thinking since she came back from US. But her role felt shit in the start. She is career driven but not strong at all. And the way she behaved was almost like those spoiled kids from any drama. They tried to make funny but they weren't funny to me. The side characters were fine. Not good not bad.
The story started as romance and was alright until ep 21? I think. But then it keeps dragging. And the story still continued after clearing up everything about business and revenge. And this is just romnce but it's like a makjang. If you are not into soap operas please try to avoid this drama.

Started fine but went down the hill. If you want to watch this drama, watch till episode 25 and the. You can skip to last ep. There nothing much except for extra drama tland unnecessary things. It's like a makjang. Not exactly a rom-com. The family issues start. And all repeated cliché story line. It's like multiple ideas were mixed together and made into a cocktail. Was expecting something better when I watched a scene of YT shorts but no. It's nothing like that. FL doesn't seem like as strong as she is shown. Sudden changes, sudden decisions. ML for the half of the series is mama's boy. Later he cares for his mother but idk but from the start he never even tried to clearly say anything to his mother.
This review is all over the place but the main point is not worth it.

It was cute but it didn't serve the purpose.

Story, acting, food everything was good but the they didn't show the main thing.

Since it came out in 2015, i guess it will still a new concept for them but an indepth idea about what halal food is would have been good. It isn't just ingredients but everything should be clean as well.

I wish they showed the girl with proper hijab, even if not hijab, proper clothes would have been better. She was given a knee length skirt. It's not okay to wear that. You are supposed to not show the skin.

Hope, if there's any such cute drama, they could show girl in proper clothing and ofc romance is out of question.

Best thing about this dramas is WAGASHI

When I started this drama and read the synopsis, thought this was going to be fun watch but to my disappointment that wasn't the case. Started of good and ending was good (last episode). The rest is all draggy.

Even if you skip to last episode there's nothing you will miss out except for the delicacies and their meanings.

The best role probably was Kyoko (ML's mom) who was "poisonous butterfly" but maybe in the end you'd sympathize with her a bit...?

Romance wise there's no chemistry. It's almost felt bland, probably the whole drama felt bland to me. I wouldn't mind even if they didn't end up together. (Well by the end I wished that too)

And the mystery was okay or maybe good. Never expected the murderer would be him.

And coming to drag, with that story and pace and the number of flashbacks they used, they could have ended it with less episodes. They even left Cdramas(few) behind with the flashback scenes.

Don't know how her asthma got cured? Is still a mystery.

It was an okay watch. It's was more like a soap opera than a psychological thriller.

Not that great.

I wanted to try it because its adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel (according to summary). My friend suggested and told me she likes her novels so i gave try to And Then There were None. Was hoping it be a good mystery but everything was predictable.

And the FLs acting was okay okay. Idk if thats just her style but kinda felt off place, especially when she was explaining how she found out.

And the rest of the cast was okay okay.
The story is okay.
There was no music.

Don't know if its worth giving it a shot. Some might enjoy it buy start at your own risk.

Have mixed feelings about this.

The story started of great. Mysterious faction and govt trying to find them.
And then idk what the movie was trying to show. Ofc i didn't see the tags and that wrong on my part but most of the time went in the romance and the scenes and and ending with the love triangle between the leads.

Cinematography is great
Fighting scenes are great
Them putting ambushes from both sides were good
Twists were great.
Except for the story telling?
It felt uncomplete to me. Maybe coz i was more focused on faction and how its gonna fight?

Maybe i would love a drama of this which shows more about faction.

Ending is satisfying but i was hoping all the three to whoosh. But anyway still fine i guess.

River runs through eyes

This drama started off really really well. From highschool to the time they have their own careers

Liked the highschool phase more than the university one. That made me cry, laugh and feel nostalgia.

College part was a bit draggy. I wish they introduced them their working part a bit earlier than in the last two episodes.

XY had crush or liked CL for a very long long time from school to even just like before graduating.. the story kept going in circles like she wants to confess but won't coz he isn't brave enough. Then once ML realises his feelings for FL, he keeps delaying his proposal (well it's understandable since they all are good/ best friends). Wished they ended FL liking SL a bit earlier and develop something between two leads.
ML always teased and be mean to FL in high school but he starts behaving better towards her once he realises his feelings for her.

Character growth in this drama are for only two roles SY( a little less) and LT (from being always with her bf she ended her relationship in a mature way)
Liked all the characters. Grown attached to them but wishes they just planned it well.

Writers should have planned the story well.

Overall, it's a nice story except they added some cliché parts like fake dating and stuff. And parts feel realistic like you won't always end up whom you want with. There are few lines which will make you understand the life, in the drama.

Not sure if it's stnds to its name.

I started this drama with zero hopes like literally zero. Wasn't interested to watch even when my friends kept suggesting me to watch saying it's good.

So i started watching this in 2022, ofc late to the party. So when I started it was okay the way scenes were going back and forth was confusing and then revealed that it's a comic World and all. The way things were unfolding was going good. I thought maybe i should have watched when my friends suggested me to watch. I judged this drama wrong( my thought).

And then after at episode 13-14( ep 7) i started feeling that, i wasn't wrong for thinking this drama won't be good. The dialogues, scenes became repetitive. Like every line is used multiple times which you get sick to keep listening to them. At first they mocked the cliché and cheesy lines and story and slowly the drama itself became cliche and cheesy. At first the FL was strong and she kept looking for haru to help her change the story.

The things should have been answered like how the story effects and changes if they are trying to change the stage.? And they showed that just because he gets wine spilled on his clothes he will be late to the stage? I mean if the things were go back to normal once the stage starts, why does the wine effect them at all? It was lame.

The romance between Ha ru and Dan Oh felt forced and Unnatural like we don't know why she started liking him and an entire 1.5ep(for 1hr ep) goes in dan oh crying for ha ru. And she keep calling Ha ru ha ru. It's so repetitive that i stated skipping their romance scenes and focus more on the side characters. And also if she was an mere extra why did she had more screen time. Every time she ends up in hospital and the heart aches. She runs and does activities which a heart disease patients aren't allowed to.

The likeable characters (off stage ofc) are sae-mi, do hwa, and sae-mi's boyfriend.

All characters were same till the end except haru got more lines after he got introduced as extra in comic.

The good character growth was of gyeong.

After skipping skipping and skipping and only seeing how the story is going, i finally finished it.

It can depend on what type of dramas you like. More of a cliché type or no. And this drama is so repetitive that at point I thought that i should just skip to last episode to see what happened and finish it but somehow skips and Ff button saved me.

There are so many things unexplained and unanswered.

Not going to re-watch

Truly disappointed. Only watch for cast. Weak story.

Had not many expectations so was never interested in watching but as I was suggested by a friend that it's good thought of giving it a try

The story like old repeated one. As soon as it started I lost interest since I could already tell what was gonna happen.
Same cliché story. The childhood. Trauma. Somehow both are connected gave all WWWSK vibes. Almost felt similar. The only thing was that ML wasn't a narcissist like in WWWSK.

Cast is great. Acting is good. Side characters are fine. Only good point.

It's for someone who wants to only look at good cast and some good kisses. Other than that nothing much about this drama but somehow finished it. Starting episodes were good and then you will lose interest. As the story follows the same storyline as some Kdramas. FL ML characters were shown like understanding but didn't really feel the maturity.

I am not a fangirl so idk what fangirls feel but it was quite fine. And the scene where she forgives all the fans who attacked her is kinda odd. That wasn't funnny or good.
Only character growth was in that hyu Jin(Sindy).

Fangirling part is continued but isn't shown in the later episode which can be fine and maybe not.

They didn't reveal 'Shi An Is My Life' to Shi An. It would have been good but kinda understable. But anyhow, since they were going to be relatives, it'd have been revealed at some point?? Maybe not?? Not sure.
Writing was very poor.

Overall not recommended unless if you want to watch only for the chemistry.

Professor Mad Dog's words were my biggest fear

Heard that this show is great and all so many times and people cried alot on this show. Finally gave it a try after watching Extraordinary You.

The drama started off really well. Like really i was intrigued by this. (happened with Extraordinary You, like it had potential but went down the hill after few eps). And this one, I say was better than that. I skipped so much in EY but not here coz the twits were good keeping you at the edge of seat but then went it started to come to an end, the show kept Playing toss the ball. It kept going in circles. Even though there was need to skip of FF in this drama still felt a bit draggy.

Story: Very good plot but came a bit boring in some parts. Felt few things were unnecessary. And obviously like their professor said that "after oh Yeon Joo came into the story it lost its essence" i thought I'd feel the same. Well, romance ruin good action, thriller or crime dramas. I was worried that this drama oy going to follow romance side after episode where she requests him to do sweet things for her. And I might drop it. So i feel the words he said. But thankfully, that wasnt the case. Romance felt off. Like we don't know how she got attached to him. She was fine and wanted to save him because she liked him despite him trying to kill his father. Thought there would be some hatred or a bit a dissatisfaction but no. And don't understand why ML fell for her? Maybe because she helped him when she was shot? Got swayed only after she saying Saranghae with no feels. FL was a bit idk... Didn't really become of fan of her character. ML's role was great then kept going up and down. Maybe if they went as per Manhwa it'd have been better than twisting and adding things to the story.

Acting : FLs actions weren't always touching. Sometimes when she cries it felt like she was 'acting'. And MLs action scenes kinda made me laugh. But rest was fine. Even his acting felt lacking sometimes. The other cat was fine.

Music : not sure about this. Didn't pay attention.

PS- The drama was good, watchable. Didn't skip much or probably not at all. Timed well. But downside was story was going in circles and sometimes felt repetitive (maybe it did). If they reduced the extra 'drama' in that maybe it'd have been and enjoyable watch. Recommended but not a re-watch type. Maybe if I watched when it Aired, my rating would have been different.

Overall a good show (probably because I didn't expect anything when I started). Recommended? Yes. But need to patient because twists make it longer.
