First drama I watched since 2010
When I watched this, I thought it was amazing. The killer made it intense, the main leads made it romantic, the female lead made it funny.My favourite thing about this show would be the build up to the first kiss. There was so much chemistry.
My second favourite thing is the music and the directing. The snippets at the end of the episode was the cherry on top. The music was very mystical like you were in a dream and the backgrounds were very fantasy like which heightened all the romantic scenes.
But everything after the first kiss was slow and predictable.
My comeback kdrama that made me addicted to kdramas.

1) The music was absolutely beautiful and it fit the mood they're trying to convey very well, turning me from excited to sad in 5 minutes
2) The acting in general, from the amazing chemistry between the two main leads to the phenomenal acting of the main villain (( he genuinely gave me the creeps ))
3) the story was good, with a very easy to grasp premise and some of the scenes were heart fluttering while other made me tear up
Things that I disliked:
There is nothing much to say in here expet the fact that it was a bit draggy in some cases but nothing big
In conclusion :
you should watch this show, each episode gets better than the one before, the actors were very good, the music was fantastic, and the villain's acting was bone chilling

While I have not been watching kdramas for long, this one was one of the few that turned out like that for me. I fell in love with this one, very easily. I was captivated from the beginning and it kept me there the whole time.
Watching this drama, I absolutely fell in love with Jun Ji Hyun's character. At first she is kind of bitchy and annoying, but then you really get to know her as the story progresses. As the story progressed, I found a smile on me face every time she was on the screen.
This was done by the phenomenal acting in this drama. Everyone killed their performance, so I was really pulled in the whole time. I found meself rooting for the leads, booing the villains, and most of all crying when I felt the hurt of the characters.
I'm truly grateful that I got to watch something so beautiful in me lifetime.
I highly recommend this drama.

Characters- The characters all have a personality. Cheong Song Yi being sassy, cute, over dramatic, and is an airhead(In a good way). Do min joon, a guy who is cold hearted, secretly sensible, and full of mysteries.
Side characters- Se Mi has a compelling story about her love. Cheong song yi's boyfriend loves her so much even though he'll never have that chance. It shows a unique way of teaching others the hardship. The murder was really good at acting too. Cheong Song Yi's mother was good at being the gold digger. Her brother was a funny character, secretly making sure no one makes fun of Song Yi.
Ost- I loved Hello Goodbye. You were my destiny was beautiful. Nothing more to say about this beautiful song.
Romance- The romance feels so alive, the chemistry with Do Min Joon and Song Yi was well played and energetic.
Comedy- This show brings out the fun side too. Full of laughs and comedy.
Enjoyment- Full of surprises, unexpected plot twist, laugh your butt off comedy, and romance packed in a heartwarming drama. I have watched this 3 times, since I have more to go.

And to think I didn't like Fantasy
This drama really surprised me. It's been on my Watchlist for a long time largely because although it's highly rated and raved about, I'm not really into Fantasy. It's also an older drama and I thought that would turn me off. Finally, I do know the ML and the SFL and SML, but I'd never seen anything with the FL in it before.Well, it turns out this was far better than I could have imagined. The Fantasy is corny/cheesy, but it works with the plot and they've managed to make it kind of humourous...almost like they're poking fun of it themselves. This is a 2013/2014 drama, but it really doesn't "feel" that old. Also, in spite of "knowing" several of the characters, it was the FL who I didn't know at all that helped me to sustain my interest in this drama. She is hilarious! Living through Covid (albeit the tail end of it), I don't get a lot of chances to laugh. The FL's antics helped in this regard for sure! I really liked her character.
I'm not crazy about the ending of this. Finding out the screenwriter also wrote CLOY, it makes sense. In fact, I suppose the ending does make sense, but I always prefer a more succinct, final ending. Nevertheless, looking at the reviews for that final episode reveals I'm in the minority. Most people think it's perfect...and I guess it kind of is.
This is a really good drama that holds up well and will make you laugh...and even cry a bit.

A classic
A story about an alien and a a list actress, she is quirky, funny and absolutely crazy. He is cold, introverted and over her antics. One of my favorite scenes are her offering him her shoes after thinking he has a shoe fetish or that he wants to wear them. Fl use of English is funny af "soooorry, excuse me" . For me this drama balanced ligh heated comedy, romance and angst because in the last episodes I cried my eyes out. Also the historical part were so good and the connection between past and present was well done.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Good comfort drama. Just turn your brain off.
It was a bit frustrating to watch. I did really understand how the FL kept liking the ML. I just kept wanting the ML to talk something, anything. The kiss scene when the time was stopped was a bit off putting too.But it was enjoyable overall except the ending.
One of the least annoying SML in all of kdrama.
The comic relief from the FL character was really good.

STORY:
I gave it a 9.5/10 because it was just A+ for me. The alien stuff weren't too overboard which I really liked since I am not really a fan of that genre. The progression of the story was perfect - it was neither slow or fast. It provided just enough tension to keep me wanting more!
ACTING/CAST:
I can't really comment on the acting as I've only watched Kim Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun just once but I must say that they are really good in internalizing their characters on screen. They were really good in playing their parts, especially Jun Ji-hyun! I really thought she added more flair to the show. Plus, their chemistry was off the roof! It's as if they're dating in real life (I wish though!).
MUSIC:
I have no problem with the music. The soundtrack that the producers have chosen are fit for the scenes. Did I mention that I still catch myself singing the theme music every now and then?!
REWATCH VALUE:
If you were to ask me if I'll watch this again, I would say yes! I know there are some heavy scenes here and there but this is really a feel good drama for me. I'll probably watch it when I'm feeling down or sad to lift my mood.
OVERALL:
I guess this is a best way to introduce myself to the world of k-dramas because it never disappointed me! I loved it overall and I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

The all-star cast is incredible, too (even secondary characters are played by popular actors).
MVP, though, in my humble opinion is Jun Ji Hyun, an amazing actress: beautiful, classy and, most of all, capable of giving great performances regardless of the material she's given, from drama to comedy in a bit!
Strongly suggested to whoever is looking for something funny, deep and romantic at the same time, with a supernatural touch.

Anyway, This has a great exection only because of the lead actress (sorry Im too slow for Korean names, hehehe)... and that's HER ONLY... she, drags this story to the top.... I know for sure, because she's a veteran and filmed in Hollywood already (that's why), so I trust her acting..... I felt sorry for her, because she has a "weak acting" partner, seemingly looks frustrating kinda "come on, please match my acting!!"...
I think this was only on top, because of KSH's tons of fans, and that's it.....
But then again, I heard they really convinced the lead actress to really accept this role... Well, I just find a few uninteresting scenes and find it boring......
But over all, it's good... I was entertained, ONLY because of the lead actress.... But Im not re-watching it again....
