this was really a family drama..only
to be honest the drama is not bad. Just that its highly based on family and work issues. Huan Huan and her mother find it really hard to get along with each other but it makes sense cause its almost impossible to get along with the mother. The drama is highly focused on the mother but she doesnt really have any character development.On the other hand however, Huan Huan's character is really good. She is confident and out spoken and is willing to fight for her loved ones. I did not feel frustrated watching her and her scenes was actually quite refreshing. The male lead also YZM is a very big green flag. Their romance is mature and very natural with no issues.
If you are looking for fluff then it will be better to watch the romance highlights on youtube. If you like the family genre then u might like this show but the scenes with the mother....u might feel like flipping the table.

did not live up to expectations...
When I first watched episodes 1 to 4 I was shocked because based on the budget and story expectations I had, the plot was cliche and there was nothing engaging...given the deep plots introduced early in the drama I thought those will be the focus point for the drama. But eventually the plot just became messy because they added every single plot possible inside without giving proper closure to some open plots.Plenty of loopholes, still dont understand how not a single family member went with her to germany for such an important surgery. The car crash and the kidnap and the getting s**t and stuff was so redundant to be honest. The villain's story just ended abruptly after dragging it for 16 episodes....the main plots were barely discussed, why did he want to divorce, why was she so cold to him.
Yes needless to say the acting and the osts are really good, but sometimes if the plot is so obviously not linking, it removes the relatability from the drama making it harder to understand the characters. For example, first half of the drama even though she had few months to live she focused so hard on getting into the trillion group (disregarding her health), the minute she just lost her company overnight suddenly all her desires disappeared??? literally the only person who was fighting back was the aunt. Even the family, how can a director and CEO of such a big company know nothing on how to handle the situation and they just dumped everything on hyunwoo to solve....
anyway i really tried to find why this was so hyped but really it is way too overrated and overhyped.

this show had 2 sides...truly
The concept of having the show with your sibling was very refreshing and it was fun to guess who is whose family in the first few episodes. We could also clearly see all the different types of relationships siblings can have so it was interesting to watch. In the episodes they filmed in korea, most of them were working so the time they had to go on dates were limited, however in the second half when they went singapore they have alot of time.Throughout the show there were so many changes in my feelings as an audience as well because of the twists. Seriously something we would have never thought they would do suddenly happens and everyone is just left confused and shocked.
The episodes are really long and i watched this show weekly, i feel the producers made the show exciting to watch because sometimes the cast were tested and restricted on who they could go on dates with. I was also glad the show did not only focus on the romance but showed us many moments of the siblings and how they help each other. Having a family member there to support you probably was the biggest strength the cast had because you could tell it was really hard on them.
i dont want to reveal much because you really have to watch from the start to feel the betrayal all the watchers felt haha

reminds me of dramas from 2013 era
Can I just say the starting episodes of this drama were really good. I was hooked and emotional and the story was so nice. It began with Seo Kijoo a ghost photographer helping to solve the last wishes of ghosts who are leaving this world. He has 2 assistants and their team is very funny and cute.I would say the first half of the drama was good but I felt like this drama would have been the best if it ended in 12 episodes. Beyond the halfway point the writer stopped the plot revolving solving of the issues but instead the focus was on one main issue.
Once the ghost issue was resolved now the writer had to think of a way to resolve the curse so the drama continued longer to fit the 16 episodes. But i feel the pacing would have been nicer if it was faster, as there were quite alot of filler scenes towards the end.
Romance was also good at the start but gradually it lost the chemistry although all the kiss scenes were good but somehow the initial fluttering moments were nicer to watch.
Overall it was still a decent drama but the production did make it feel like it was a show from 8-10 years ago. Oh! but the OST was beautiful.

the leads became the second leads?
Overall the drama is good, light and funny. Its a good show to watch when you feel like having a good laugh with some romance. The comedy scenes are really quite funny, even during serious moments you will be shocked by the sudden change in vibes.That being said, halfway through the drama the second leads gained a large amount of attention and their story was cute indeed (haters to lovers). So towards the end actually the second leads started getting more screentime and cute moments...hahaha which eventually extended to their own spinoff drama
The starting episodes of the drama were really good but the last few episodes felt very dry for the leads. Glad the drama was 12 episodes because there wasnt any big plot they were trying to solve or anything.
Overall it was a cute a fun drama!

well...same concept as all the other survival games but nothing new
I finished this show in a few hours cause honestly you can x2 speed it and watch...there wasnt any strategic plays or smart tricks so if you were hoping for those kind of shows you can skip this. This show was mostly just surviving and and once again showing how greedy humans can be. I guess one interesting thing about this show is that apart from other shows where games are set of the participants here its a blank canvas and they have to do everything themselves.If you are bored and just want to watch something you can watch this but there isnt much of a deep plot or anything.

That Plot Twist!
The drama perfectly blended romance, crime, thriller and mystery with an engaging plot and amazing acting by the cast. You are shown the double life of our male lead which establishes the base for the drama. Their love and trust in each other is clearly depicted and in some cases can be really heartbreaking :((The drama will really keep you on your edge. But really its the acting....the acting was insane I was getting goosebumps so often.
The OSTs are good as well, along with the directing and filming. Both leads are very smart and have amazing chemistry.

my expectations were too high...
Once again a really good cast with a weakly written script and flow :( Initially after watching the first few episodes I did not feel like continuing it but i heard reviews saying it was really good so I thought of watching it further. But to me it just got worse...they spent so long on her side of the issues so it felt like when she got together with the ML it was too fast? This could also be due to the lack of FML pov points of liking the ML...And then after they got together suddenly it felt like there was no story to continue so they added the parents fight to give a reason for them to be against their relationship....also the way the FML was just okay to go abroad again (this part i could feel the ML frustration) like girl commit to something esp since the leads barely spent any time together. After awhile i started hoping they should just stay as friends cause the episodes mostly only showed her working.Most of the episodes i watched them cause of the second leads. their story was very cute and fresh. Their characters were unique as well.
Overall this would pass as a regular rom-com not sure why it was so hyped....

stayed for the mum and grandma...
After the success of the first show, I had high expectations for this. Although there were funny part, the story was not as engaging and exciting. There wasnt much chemistry between the leads do I lost interest in the romance. The scenes with the mum and her grandma was the most fun so those were interesting. Other than that I was skipping through most of it....Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

honestly better than I expected
i enjoyed the production and teamwork, it was like watching a high production escape room. This show will go in the category of Busted but more in the serious and thriller/mystery perspective. There isnt much comedy as the cast is focused on solving all the clues and its a time based mission.This show is very different from Devil's Plan and The Genius as its a totally different concept. if you enjoy escape rooms this will be ur cup of tea but if you prefer strategical game shows this is not something like that.
The cast was really good and you could really see their teamwork. They always made sure everyone agreed on their decisions before attempting to do anything.
Its a very quick binge which I enjoyed~ (since i do like "thriller") But really kudos to the staff for creating all the set and making the effects so realistic on the screen!

started strong....but then what happened?
I was really excited to see Kang Ki Young as the lead and the couple was cute in the beginning! The plot started out as every other revenge plot where a naive girl is betrayed by her rich partners and decides to plan a revenge on them. Yes its a common plot but its okay, if the story is good it can still be a great show.However....the strategies used were bad and not satisfying, there were many instances were the female lead who was depicted as someone strong and smart fell into traps and became a damsel in distress...
In regards of romance, the female lead gave almost no chance for the male lead which made it seem like the male lead was just being desperate and the romance was one-sided. When the male lead tries to stop her from making wrong decisions she just ignores it and does it anyway...
Around the halfway mark, I lost interest in the plot and romance seeing no hope for a satisfying ending...

Good watch for those who enjoy tragic love stories....
This drama is really good if you enjoy dramas with a beautiful emotional love story. It’s a story of 2 people who did not have a childhood filled with happiness. They found each other and fell in love however unfortunate events kept happening to them.I watched the entire show in a day so it’s definitely possible to binge watch the show. #Woodohwan and #Leeyoumi had insane chemistry and their acting was so good! Haejo’s character was very free spirited and he liked doing things without any plans. Jaemi is very extroverted and has an outgoing personality. Both of them suit each other well cause they relate to similar pain.
Now the story is really very simple, there is no plot twist and nothing really shocking. It’s a very simple deep love story. So for this genre it’s good but personally not my style of show so there were parts where I just skipped…
I enjoyed the relationships shown in the drama especially Haejo and Bongsuk who was basically his guardian since he was young. She cared for him as a mother / sister and was always there for him.
Jaemi had a fiancé who she was going to marry and he was deeply in love with her. Initially I didn’t think he was going to have such a big role in the drama. But he is actually the second male lead. So there are many scenes regarding his family issues as well. He was an understanding SML though always thinking about her happiness so nothing toxic! (just that maybe there was too much screen time regarding his issues)
I’m sure everyone who will watch this knows the ending so…. ? Everything is revealed in episode 1 itself so there isn’t any shocking reveals after that.
For those who really like the emotional tragedy kind of romance then this is for you! There is fluff definitely but it’s all under the shadow of tragedy so… ?

watch for fun!!
Honestly for this spin-off you cannot go in expecting an insane plot etc. This drama is meant more for the casual fun perspective without much deep meaning. I went in just expecting some romance between the second leads but i was actually shocked there was a story inside.It felt like i was watching a Mini-W series (W-two worlds). I also felt like there were alot of adlibs in the show. The way he kept emphasizing her name "SEO Yeon Seo" and the sudden superman moments. This show was really for a light comedy romance between the second leads.
Will re-watch because their chemistry is so good...!

loved the leads loved the plot
I was shocked by how hooked I was while watching this drama. Binge watching it will be the best option cause the plot is not difficult to follow so it wont be very confusing. It was a generally very well written drama.plot: it was a revenge plot but not like a blind revenge. The female lead's plans involved more than just taking revenge on the people who harmed her but she also focused on clearing the names of people who were wrongly accused using the power of her current title. The female lead was extremely smart and independent she was definitely not a damsel in distress but really thought through all her plans before executing them. This was exactly why many times the male lead would just sit from far and watch her do her thing knowing she can resolve it herself.
characters: i did hope for more romance cause sadly there was barely any BUT the couple still liked each other for very long so everytime they met and had a conversation their chemistry was insane so you dont feel like you are missing out. Don't stop yourself from watching the show knowing the romance is a slow burn because the plot is really worth ur time. The ML was so good he was equally as smart and of power so even their chemistry in resolving the issues was so satisfying to watch. That one scene in the rain ahhhhhh (watch it to find out).
the villains on the other hand were so annoying means they really acted well. Princess wanning's character really made sense for the way she was treated and the actress did such a great job. SYR on the other hand was a coward till the end.
Now there is one thing which I am very disappointed with....the ending. Dont get me wrong, it is a happy ending but just not in the satisfying way. They rushed alot of things in the last 2 episodes and there were a few really redundant scenes.
Other than that I felt like this drama was really good and I would recommend it!

I thought it was gonna be an intense thriller but it was actually very heartwarming?
The line-up for the actors was insane. Everyone did their role so well where every death had a completely different vibe and lesson to be learnt. I was also amazed by how smart yee jae was while going through the lives. The transition from him being a high school student to the MMA fighter was my favourite cause Lee Jaewook and Yoo Insoo were so good. And of course Kim Jaewook and Kim Jihoon in the same frame AMAZING!!Plot wise actually very simple to follow it felt like i was watching a drama that is teaching us lessons more than a thriller show. Some of the thriller scenes were lol funny cause the CGI looked so weird haha but other than that it was a good show!
