Fluffy, not so serious, easy and short watch
I binged this show within 24 hours and found myself laughing out loud at some parts. I had just been binging a lot of heavier crime dramas, so this was a nice palette cleanser.If you think about this show critically or in depth, then yes, you will see some flaws and possibly be annoyed. If you don't take the show seriously and just watch it with no expectations, it's an enjoyable and quick watch.
I did find myself almost dozing off in one of the later episodes and I'm not a super fan of the secondary romance, but those are my main complaints.
This is a nice show to sit back to, eat popcorn, and check your brain out.

Watched it for the bad ass babe moments!
Wowzer where to start! This short series it’s only 10 episodes which is pure heaven if you want to binge watch it - which I did.What hooked me was a saw a snippet where our FL is saving her client from gangsters/loan sharks now you’d think a lawyer would use her words and her smart brain ? but NO!! Our FL likes to kick butt!! She manages to take down a number of loan sharks and saves the client. Total bad ass babe.
And it was for this alone that I have to watch the series. Which opening challenging the social view on what women shouldn’t and shouldn’t do. We see how women are treating unfairly and victimised whilst men are patted on the back for a job well done.
The story never got boring and we have a great development arch for both lead characters we see how other brings out the better in them.
It’s a quirky love story that everyone really must watch!!

commercial success, American school & mature casting
I am a fan of mature casting, but this one didnt really suit the topic... I mean, you cannot cast mature people to act like teen sensation or something.The director certainly has studied American school so he/she engaged a lot of ANTI-TROPES (which is, the new tropes) just to make it shocking and entertaining - which i dont mind at all - but i wonder if he/she brought anything original or personal to it. Still IT IS dynamic, modern, easy to watch...
The ML and FL and the SML and all the cast are certainly great actors, but i somehow doubt this drama was made with sincerity... i mean, it's more like a show to bring fame and cash flow.
I totally hate shows that blacken the media and depict it like blood-suckers that feed on high-life scandals... Isnt it more like a love-hate relationship where celebrities are made through publicity and gossip?
Nice drama all in all, as long as you dont mind that the puppets' ropes are showing.
SIDE NOTE: The ML reminds me big time of the player guy in The Glory, maybe the haircut and acting style? And the ML's friend, with his locks, looks so much like Filipino actor in Fan Girl...

Sweet romcom
I really enjoy this one. I was so light, sweet and mature. The chemistry was so good. Usually, i'll get bored with the romantic scenes toward the end of most kdrama, but this one keeps me excited and smiling like an idiot everytime the main couple was on screen. The FL was so strong and independent. There's no unnecessary drama too. I finished it just in one night (it's only 10 ep). The second leads were cute too, but sometimes i skip their part just because i was too eager to watch the main leads.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Great Drama
What a great drama. The lead female in this story is my kind of woman. Independent and strong and knows what she wants. The male lead is cute and shy and they make a wonderful couples. The chemistry is fantastic. The way their relationship develop is so great. When they get together, you wait each minute for the romance. Each character makes the story sincere and realistic. The second couple makes it sweet and you enjoy the drama even better. The story twist and turns and the ending which is surprising make you enjoy this drama. I love this drama and the well written story.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Please I couldn’t watch it any faster if I tried
This was honestly so good. Great acting, plot and music. I even enjoyed the clothing and the action sequences. Loved the actors and actresses. I just kept saying just one more episode. Definitely would watch again. It’s also a very quick watch. Each episode ended on a slightly amazing cliffhanger. Except the ending which did its job well.Really liked how it was realistic yet over the top. Showed us what it’s like to be a modern woman and a man who understands not every person needs a second chance. PLUS ITS SO FUNNY MY GOODNESS!
Do yourself a solid. Give it a go!

The feel of a classic K-Drama with a feminist twist
This show really blew me away. Where do I even start? This felt so reminiscent of classics like Secret Garden and Coffee Prince with the slapstick style humor and hilariously ridiculous scenarios these mcs would find themselves in. However unlike the classics where the female lead was always helpless and poor and in need of a man's help, here we find Miran, a lawyer who beats up thugs and deals out justice on her own terms. She's so refreshing and funny that it's impossible not to love her from the start. The male lead on the other hand takes some warming up to since he comes off rather misogynistic at the beginning. However, once you learn of his past trauma and start to see his walls come down, it becomes hard not to fall for this pair. These two together are what make the show so brilliant. The chemistry, the dialogue, and the way they look at each other all felt so natural and kept me hooked through each episode.It's been a while since I watched a drama that clearly captures what it feels like to let yourself fall in love as an adult and this drama achieved this perfectly. I loved every scene between the main leads and felt like the show did a great job wrapping up their story.
My only complaint would be the side-couple. Personally they didn't do much for me and I didn't care for either of their friends. I know kdramas always like throwing a half-assed side couple at the end but spending like 15 minutes on them in the last 2 episodes felt like too much. Other than that, I loved everything else about this show.

I was a bit disappointed by the tears, I wasn't interested in the 2ndery couple eventho I liked them as the leads' friendsFl is more independent, confident and quirky rather than strong, with extra emphasis on quirky with a dash of crazy
I didn't like her start and didn't enjoy him repeating how different she was from other women.
Both were prejudice but she was like "hm I was wrong about men they're not all bad" and he goes "I've never met anyone like you, you are not like other women" which shows who was more prejudice
But I appreciated their romance and relationship. The way it started without anymore misunderstandings and continued smoothly until the half of last ep ruined it, their effortless love, confession and skinship was also a nice dose of healthy relationship as apposed to the usual kdramas
Things were fast cuz the short ep count but still they had 2 fake/real breakups and over reactions
I didn't like how they made her cry, as if crying makes her not too overboard not feminine
I wanted her to coolly charmingly claim him back I didn't enjoy his sulking as "soft revenge "

I don't what headline should i write (maybe simple and cute romantic story?)
Accidentally, i found this drama in Netflix, and don't have more expectation about it, tbh i don't know the main actor except Kim Ji hoon (i saw him from Flower of Evil) and Go Won Hee (from Welcome to Waikiki, right?)First, this drama tells the story of the relationship between an independent woman and her thoughts of gender equality with a man who is cold and doesn't seem interested in women. Because the genre of this drama is romance comedy, i think the problems is quite simple so we don't have to think too complicated to understand the problems.
The romantic scenes are quite cute and not too much. However, because there are only 10 episodes, I feel the main character's love story seems "in a hurry", especially the second lead love story (i always interested with second lead hahaha). What I like most from this drama is that there is no annoying third wheel actor in each of the characters' love stories hahaha
I also admire the FL because of her brave and independent character, and tries to solve her problems using logic but still shows her feminine side
In the middle episodes, I felt bored because the story plot was quite cliche, but that's okay because this drama is still quite entertaining.
As for the soundtrack, I think it's appropriate and quite catchy
For the acting of the characters, yeahh, there's no need to doubt it
overall, for me 9.5/10
*note: sorry my english not really good*

Rom-Com Era is back in full swing
I have been in such a slump with the recent rollout of Kdramas, because a lot of them were just too much. This one on the other hand is such a cute light watch. It has only ten episodes so you can binge it during one of those late nights where you realise its 2am and you aren't going to get any type of sleep. The story has a simple theme that is reminiscent of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and I think that is truly what captured my attention. The cast being 30s-40s also made this a little bit more refreshing. I definitely enjoyed how the female lead was very sex-positive. Overall a fun time and the OSTs are all really cute.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
New Favorite!!
If I had a nickel for every time I've completed a Kdrama where the prominent trait of the FL was being very physically strong and it became my new favorite romance drama, I'd have 3 nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's kinda weird that it's happened 3 times.I could go on and on about every little thing I liked about Love to Hate You but we'd be here too long. To be brief, this show had all of my favorite tropes and executed them to perfection. Chemistry of the leads is crazy good. Very funny moments and great physical comedy. PHENOMENAL MUSIC, huge fan of the music in this show it honestly is a huge part of the rewatch value for me.
