IT'S IN MY TOP TEN RIGHT NOW

I need to go and calm down myself after reading a few reviews and now Im gonna try to make a good one with my poor writting skills.

So, even though a lot of people it's calling this drama overhyped, overrated, boring, lack of spark, a flat plot and other adjectives and trying to explain their opinion of why they gave them like 5 stars and even though I know their explanations are completely valid, I must mark them as a biased ones and it's not because I put this drama in my top 2, replacing Goblin it's because I genuinely like it.

First of all, I didn't like this drama at the beginning, just like ton of people in comments say, I stop watching it by episode 2, but I gave it a second chance, so I realize the two fisrt episodes are so slow and lack of emotion, I mean a marriage going though a crisis and the wife being diagnosed with a terminal ill, that was not for me, but after watching a few spoilers of the next episodes I decided to watching again with an open mind this time and OMG, was the best decision I made. I dare to say people who are criticism in comments are the ones who never try to stop criticism the drama.

Even if the storytelling was a little... ¿creative? Its what dramas usually are, very full of fantasy, like you all are mad because the plot wasn't what you were expecting so im gonna explain a bit of my opinions.

First of all, I gotta admit that i wasn't engaged to the drama at the beginning until up to episode 3, but after that, I was sooo engaged and waiting for it every weekend.

I guess I like the kind of dramas where there are a lot of characters and all of them support to each other just lik this drama is.

The plot was good, but it left a lot of things whitout answer, like who was secretary Nam's husband or how many children the main leaders has or if Baek Hyunwoo's sister meet her husband. I would like we would have this answers, but we just can imagine this, just like we do in real life, there are things for what we never got answer.

The characters were so good, a good love story we don't usually have in dramaland and if there where hole plots is because life is like that.

The music I've always said that a good drama must have a very good OST and this one has it. The OST was as good as Goblin, CLOY and DOTS which are my favorite dramas of all time.

The acting was SO GOOD TOO. To be honest I don't have words right now cause I've just finished the whole thing and I'm sensitive because if there is one thing that I dont like about it, was the ending, I don't find necessary that they showed us their death, 'cause for me they ended up dying in 2074, first her and then him. Well that's all I got to say. But I really love this drama, for the laughs and for tears it mades me tear up.

I got a hard time watching it

I love Rowoon, he is such a great actor and each one of his jobs are completely amazing, eitherway I had a hard time trying to finish this one.

There are two reasons, the plot and the female leader. The plot started getting repetitive at some point and as for the FL, It was so exhausting for me as a viewer, seeing her being practically bullied by everyone and doing nothing (at the beggining) I was hoping and waiting for the moment she would change and be a better FL but the only thing she did was put me on my nerves with every action she did. I really couldn't understand the reasons behind her actions, it seems like in every episode her logic took a cab and run away from herself. Added to that, for me (unlike everyone say) the main couple was lacking of any chemistry and not in real life but in the story (in real life Jo Boah and Rowoon did so good) FL character was so desperate that ruined the chemistry with ML. Kept myself watching the show just for Roowon and he character.

Undoubtedly BEST DRAMA OF 2023

I've been watching dramas for so long, I've been dropping a lot of dramas too, but this drama has caught me like no one else has done this year, I hooked up to it since the first episode was aired and got me waiting for it every weekend.

As a diehard fan of Lee MinKi and Han JiMin I was expecting the drama and it surprised me how I ended up loving all the mistery around the plot, the plot was just unique, it's definately a drama that can't be seen nowadays in dramaland, the ost was excellent, the acting, everything! If you love comedy, drama and mistery all mixed up, this drama it's a must for you.

Sorry im suddenly mad

I watched this drama three years ago. At the time I wasn’t really into reviewing nothing, but I happened to see a review that made me question a lot of things.

So, some people find it ridiculous that many of us rate this drama with 10, so gonna try to be objective as they want. Let’s start with the premise of the drama, which is very different from what we had seen until that date: A North Korean man meets a South Korean woman, two nations at war, very interesting, but that doesn’t stop there 'cause apart from the excellent plot we have an excellent cast as well.

In the cast we have a well known Korean stars, Hyunbin and Son Yejin and we have cameos from other equally recognized celebrities, in addition we have the rest of the cast who truly played their role very well, giving us excellent performances. And now, one of the most importants things of dramas (for me, in my opinion) the music, for me if a drama has a bad OST. It stops being attractive to me and well, I don't really know how to start talking about one of the most excellents OST I've heard on my time watching kdramas (since 2014), I do not lie when I say that each of the songs of this drama are EXCELLENT, I spent all of February 2020 and March 2020 listening to the ost in a loop on spotify and even to nowadays, when I listen to some of its songs I get drenched in my skin, they certainly made the best song choices.

I guess, I finished talking about the most superficial things, now let’s talk about the plot. We start from the premise of the romeo and juliet the korean peninsula version. Of course, there were things in the script that I found quite comical and unrealistic, like the fact that she traveled to the other country in parachutes, the cgis at the moment failed to me and I was laughing to see the cow flying next to her.

On the other hand, talking about the plot, the story of seri's stepmother also seemed to me so random and left me thinking about where seri's father was while her daughter was having hard times.. and guess I'll debate a little bit about what I read in the other reviews, the villain’s story.

I hated that man, I hated him because he’s bad and many people thought he had no reason to be bad, and I don’t understand why y'all focus on that? there are people who are bad just because they want to, it’s nothing out of the world, people do not always need to have motivations to do bad things, most of the time, giving motivation to villains, telling their stories to the viewer is done to humanize them, that way, people could feel sorry for them. In this case the authors didn't want to humanize the man, it was just a mad man.

Another thing got people asking why and gotta say Im a bit agree with them, It's the ending... I don’t know about you, but I see dramas to get away from reality, yes I can be very critical sometimes and I end up watching series that beforehand we know will end up badly, but the silly romantic endings (with some logic) always beat me. So a fun fact: the ending of CLOY, it was not the original ending. Originally they had planned that both were separated in the line of the parallel 38 and never see each other again, if that ending has happened I would've been beyond sad, so I am grateful that they left the ending that seemed ridiculous to some people and even so, it was a bittersweet one. 'Cause come on, they see each other only TWO WEEKS at year, TWO WEEKS. I don’t know about you, but that seems very bittersweet to me, but it would've been worse if they never have seen each other again. I understand that they probably find everything laughable, but all of this, are things that could happen in real life.

In conclusion, I loved, love and will love this drama forever, its my favorite one, however it does not take away the objectivity of my review because believe me that I know it has flaws, I have seen it many times to find them, I did it. Regardless, drama's flaws are less than the big value the drama has.

Not my type.

I dropped it a few months ago and I was pretty sure I dropped it by the firsts episodes, how much surprised I was when I found out that I watched 14 episodes by december 2022 and I don’t remember nothing cuase it wasn't that mesmerized for me.

Guess was a good plot and the cast was a good choice too, it's Hyeri here and I love her so much, but this drama it just not my type adding the fact I didn't understand so much... gonna finish the two episodes remaining, but it was just a basic drama for me but if you are looking for a drama just for spend some time, maybe its for u.

It was so good, like the ending how it was.

I'm late reviewing this one, but I really wanted to share my opinion (even if has been almost 3 years since they aired the last episode,). First of all, I couldn't be more disaree with almost all the opinions here I mean, I respect them, but Im disagree and makes me think we weren't watching the same drama and I have the same fight on twt while it was airing.

To all, I'm gonna resume it, this drama has it all, good music (excellent if u ask me, GAHO, Red Velvet and others made it up so well) good acting performance, good characters and even if you don't accept it, good plot.

You gonna feel binged to it since the first episode and gonna start to feel emotional about Dal Mi's story, You gonna feel angry and gonna want to know when everything gonna be revealed and maybe, if you are objective, you gonna accept the ending.

Here we go with the spoilers, everyone was so disappointed in 2021 when Do San got the girl and even now, I can find dissapointed comments on internet about how they just found out Sr. Han didn't got the girl and thats the only reason why people give to the drama a one star review, just beacuse they didn't like the ending throwing the rest of the story.

Yes, its true the relationship between DalMi's grandmother and Sr. Han, was one of the best things in the drama. It melted my heart how she loved him as a grandson and confort him everytime as soon they met again, but for a lot of people this got mixed with Dal Mi and Sr. Han's relationship and they assumed he has to be with her just because her grandmother. For me the ending was what it has to be, even if there were things that killed my braing while watching this drama (like the relationship dalmi have with her mother, I still cant understand why she had leave her and be ok with that, i know he apologized later, but even when that happened I cant still be ok with it), so the ending its the sum of all the things that happend thorough the drama and even if Sr. Han was so sweet, he had a lot of opportunities to be with her, but he didn't dare to say anything and Do San got all the opportunities and did even a little bit more for her... and well, that's my opinion upon to this drama. That's all. ^^

Not bad, but not too good.

Throughout the film i was feeling my heartbeat in my head.

Im a diehard fan of natural disaster movies and zombies so i was looking forward this movie since was announced and when I looked the cast, I definitely was into it. Thrilled me tha fact of watching Park SeoJoon, and Pak Bogum staring a movie and being a married couple, I thought there would be some romance, but there wasn't, they fooled me haha.

Having the cast it has, acting was destined to be SO good and it was, premise was good for a natural disaster movie, even though I feel the movie has a few plot holes, so much blood and misfortunes.
The lack of explanation of why was happening the earthquakes was something for me, even though I like the movie but its no the best natural disaster one.

I like it above all things (all the bad things it has)

I just read a well written review with a 5.5 raiting for this drama and gotta say Im agree with that person even if i think of this drama as a good one, a good one who makes u feel nostalgic and reflexive but gotta find where (in my opinion) they lost a little bit a good way for the drama.

Drama premise was so good. The moment the drama got announced people start having high expectations, from ost to cast to plot to everything. People whom are huge fans of kdramas know the names of the leading characters, Park BoYoung and Seo InGuk, are well known actors in kdramalands. We also have Lee SoHyuk and his beautiful voice and Kang TaeOh both of them weren't very recognized at the moment they staring this drama (nowadays everyones know their names) although they gave an excellent performance.

The OST was excellent, we have AILEE and every good kdrama consumer know that she is like midas, every ost for a kdrama she did was a completely bomb. Her songs holds message and feelings, I know im not the only one who feels a lot with her songs, get goosebumbs and almost cry. Obviously Ailee isnt the only one who makes this ost excellent we got davichi, baekhyun, txt and even seo inguk too.

So, the big problem with this drama was writer didn't know how to develop their story plot and chracters, they full filled plot holes without being careful, even if the plot got ruined by it. The big mistake was the second couple and the love triangle while everything else was happening. The second couple lacks of chemistry and their love triangle is even worse, we know that kind of situations could happen in real life, but i guess was so dumb and even if main couple carried the whole drama with their performance and their chemistry even them at the end were ruine for the plot holes.

Although everything and the lack of coherence (kind of) this drama is one of my favorites, main couple are of my favorites actors in the world and their performance here gift me good moments while watching a few years ago, even if the plot is how it is, I like it above all things.

In conclusion, if you like Park Boyoung and Seo InGuk and most important, if you like dramas with a little bit of reflexive, which makes you value your life, maybe you must watch it.

An excellent premise

Drama premise is very good and against all my beliefs I was binge to it since the first episode and excited to know more. The cast did an excellent job and the chemistry of the "extra" couple (main couple ig) was great. OST was also excellent, the soundtrack in the background of each scene was well chosen.

Now, even though I liked the drama a lot, I felt plot had some ups and downs. Sometimes it was a bit tedious, just in the middle of the drama I feel like story lost it course a few times and then resumed up again. Despite that, I enjoyed the drama and its performances.

No way this got me crying almost like 2521

I'm writing this one while crying so hard. As a person who is afraid of changes in her life this really got me. I've seen videos of this movie mixed with 2521 when we got that terrible ending too (not overcome it yet) and when I started watching this one because I wanted to watch every movie or drama where Park Bo Young appear, everything looked so familiar and then, the ending. wtf? I mean is so realistic, its something that everyone could face one day, but it still hurt me so much.

So im rating this one with a 7.5 cause I wont be able to watch it again without feeling the bittersweat feeling im having rn and bc the story got me ruined even if its realistic.

I cried but its my favorite Taiwan (asia) movie.

Well i dont know if i was going through a lot in my life when I watched this, but i cried. I guess im gonna spoiling a little bit, maybe, but the ended got me, like they could've been together for years, but due to a little misunderstanding they couldn't.

Maybe im a little cheesy when it comes to watching movies and dramas, but I really like how the story got developed (until they lost years for not being clear about their feelings, but at the end, i guess it was a happy ending) i mean, im a big fan for the plot enemies to friends to lovers and even if they weren't enemies at all at the beginning, I guess they weren't friends so this dinamic got me waiting for the moment where they would be aware of their feelings.

Anyways, if yout are thinking of either watch it or not, it must be a completely GO FOR THE MOVIE. If you are a dumb romcom fan you must do it.

Its not my kind of drama

Everyone got differents taste when it comes to dramas, and this one its not my type ig. I guess thats why i didnt understand the story and got lost as the drama was developing or maybe in the 2nd season they'll answer all the cuestions I got because what was that???? 6 episodes and they didn't clear nothing... i guess the story is going nowhere.

I think the cast was so good and they gave an excellent performance, especially Cha Eunwoo which acting has gotten so much better. Maybe one day I'll give a chance to the 2nd season but for now Im not in the mood of watching more dark dramas, or maybe this drama was excessively dark.

Well I started to watch this drama without expectatives only for the actress Yoon eun hye, I wanted to watch every drama of her, because I loved her in coffe prince and goong, welI at the beginning I didn't like the male lead, but I started to love him, he is  a such good actor, well the drama was a little boring I have to addmit that It was so hard for me to finish it, it took me a long time like one year to finish it  , I finished it by force because I have others drama to watch. Well I think that took me a log time to finishe because In a determinated moment the female lead made me angry with her acctitude, conclusion I liked the drama, but I fell that something missed in the history, it  couldn't catch me at all.
