Not really convinced by the plot

Though I appreciate all the strong FL stories but this one was weird. Points that I felt fall apart
1) FL or ML chemistry was totally off ...their romance sky rocketed all of sudden like there were on moments/ connecting links .. so in overall out come chemistry was off
2) the comedy punches are quite old and childish I believe the writing was too lousy to present nice humour.
3) the actors who played ML looked too immature for this character ... He seems like a high school boy wearing his father's Tux for farewell.
4) connecting links between the consecutive scenes were off ...the whole plot appeared to have missing something ..
5) and last but not the least is the irritating cowboy background music ..like do they even care to match the music along with drama setting ...how come this type of plot can have a cowboy style BG music

My patience's Slump

This drama starts off sluggishly, with the first seven episodes feeling like a test of patience. Luckily, it finally finds its rhythm though it dips back around episode twelve. ??
Park Shin Hye’s portrayal of a submissive character was something new. Although her extreme botox and altered appearance took away the charm.

Park Hyung Sik brings his familiar charisma , my darling!!! he passes his virus to every FL ( ep 11 3:00- 4:00) how come he makes all his co actresses act cute in the same way .. he did the same thing in strong woman as well ? ? ? it almost feels like the man casts a spell on all his co- actresses.


The storyline Unlike the classic ER/trauma setup was little inclined to plastic surgery a theme very relevant to current Korean medical trend( though very less to do with medicine itself . This setup brings a fresh perspective, exploring PTSD among the aesthetic surgeons and showing that even plastic surgery has its high stakes.

A few things that I find extremely disliking about this drama is
1. The character of FL bestie.. this character was so frustrating and unnecessary. I mean really this might be my personal vendetta but I don't like people who don't respect boundaries and understand when to keep things private, especially during a sensitive time for you.the ML wanted to stay by FL's side during her harsh times but this insensitive woman spoke everything out,like she is the worst.Every time this ugly woman calls the FL saying ' I am not sure if telling you this will help her or not' .. like the STFU .. if you aren't sure just let it be ...
( I have met a woman very similar to this character and watching the same crap I was beyond myself with rage I was like just write a loose plot and hit her with a truck .. damn it !!! )




2. ML’s overly calm response to the FL’s accident, which feels out of place given the situation. Honestly I wanted him to loose some cool there instead of acting all doctor-ish and explaining it to her family. In real life nobody can act this calm no matter how successful of a doctor you are.


overall I am not impressed a fairly talented cast loss it's potential to a weak plot . This storyline would have been better if created into a movie instead of full length drama.
Totally not my cup of tea , so I am not recommending this one ? ?

Third class .. bogus

I hold it till episode 13 to give this show a fair chance but honestly I regret wasting my time on this crap ... Everything from story to acting sucks ... specially the female lead her character is moronic on top her acting made is even more cringe ... I cant point a single good thing about this show ... Unnecessary conspiracy tracks and misunderstanding between the leads ..to keep them apart ... Full of over acting and over reacting ... The storyline must have written by some eight grader taking in consideration the entire plot is so childish ... Boring and pathetic

What a steaming pile of horseshit it was ...

We come across a lot of bad dramas.. but if you find the one that has everything that you possibly hate then a ranking or even 1 star feels very extra ...

Okay let's begin instead of writing boring paragraph I will put the entire review in points ..

1) below average/ average looking ML ... Say he is not bad looking but not very impressive either ... Flat face .. aloof expressions and annoyed ng character these are the things I can't tolerate in leads especially ML ..

2) the story is old fashioned ... There was absolutely nothing new about this story ..even the punches were old ... I expect scriptwriter/storywriter to atleast put something original or of their own ...but to my disappointment the dramas looks like someone wrote it by copying multiple drama script ..

3) unnecessary misunderstandings in leads and showing ML as Sigma FL as some annoying silly villager ... In my opinion this is the biggest turn off ...these days intelligent smart and independent FL are more in trend ... This story tried to deliver such FL character in the beginning after 2-3 episode she just turned some pushover ... Who has absolutely no self respect ...who forgives ML too easily ... Who has no regards for her dignity ...who keeps throwing herself on ML even when he clearly rejects her hints ... I HANDS DOWN CAN NEVER SUGGEST A DRAMA WHERE ML OR FL CHARACTER DONT DISPLAY A STRONG AND VALUABLE CHARACTER.

4)the flow of the plot which was very abrupt ... Like they are fighting like crazy in the one scene and they act all normal having dinner with each other in the next scene. Build up to connect the dots was very much missing and quite clearly visible

5) there was a lot of unnecessary screentime wasted on stupid scene. : you can literally sit on the skip button while watching it there were so much nonsense in between.

6) No SML : this story highly demands SML as the FML has a very introvert and secretive character to establish his character there is always a need to add a contrasting character that helps build a lot of sense to the story ... For example it help highlight the chemistry between FL ML

7) I slept like 4 times in between

8) no chemistry in lead

Failed attempt to make a sci-fi x history x rpg drama

The story had a lot of potential but thanks to bad screenwriting and incomplete preface that the entire drama failed.
The FL is supposed to eradicate a big in the game system ...and for that she needs to kill the lord of the city 99-100 times ... The plot was so unique but because the content was kept so secretive it twisted in a boring outcome ... In my opinion a proper narration about the game could have helped the viewers in better understanding of the plot ...
I dropped it at 11th episode may be the story will get interesting later on ...but seriously 11 episodes are already enough ... If a drama can't hold on to the viewers interest in 11 episodes than I don't think it's really worth watching ... Cast was good ,but again wasted .. hope some other writer can rewrite the theme in proper way ... The concoction of these genre is actually very interesting.

romance that transcends centuries and the longing that spans light-years apart

This drama truly deserves every bit of its massive fan following and even more. It's hands down one of the most beautifully crafted stories out there.

Why I liked it:

1. Captivating plot: It maintains a steady momentum, with only a few lows but significantly more highs.


2. Outstanding cast: Kim Soo Hyun is an exceptional talent—words can't fully capture how phenomenal he is as an actor. While I'm not necessarily a fan of Jun Ji Hyun, I still enjoyed watching her performance. The rest of the cast was equally impressive.


3. A unique ending: Some might find the ending unsatisfactory, but I personally enjoyed it. Having read several stories with similar conclusions, like Gakuen Alice, I used to find such endings disheartening. However, over the years, I've matured to appreciate the depth of bittersweet conclusions. That said, I can’t deny that a part of me still wished for a more satisfying closure for the main characters.


4. A timeless love story: The romance that transcends centuries and the longing that spans light-years apart was incredibly moving.


5. The comedic relief: The humor added a sparkle to the parts where the story momentarily lost its momentum.



Areas where the story could have been improved:

1. Vague time-travel mechanism: There's little explanation of how he plans to travel back. Like, okay, here's a comet... now what? Am I supposed to throw a rope around it or just stand in front of it? At least provide some clarity!


2. Weak investigative elements: The writer seems to have limited knowledge of prosecution and detective work. The investigation scenes came off as lackluster.


3. A poorly developed female lead: The female protagonist's character felt weak and somewhat irrelevant. She didn’t contribute significantly to the story from start to finish.


4. Boring flashbacks: The scenes set in the past were quite tedious. I initially watched a few but soon realized they didn’t add much value to the plot, so I skipped them.



Lastly, the background music was delightful. Every time I rewatch this drama, its soundtrack keeps playing in my head for days afterward.

Everyone is connected within six Degrees for separation- mathematics of Fate - Kevin becon

This show brilliantly exposes the harsh and ugliest sides of our society, showcasing how humanity can sink to new lows for selfish desires. It resonates deeply, especially in a world where social media can turn into a dirty game.
But amidst the chaos, there is this beautiful relationship between an adoptive father and son that had me in tears(almost ten times!) This father’s unwavering love, refusing to dissolve the adoption, highlights a bond often overlooked in real life, where adopted children can feel discarded as soon as biological kids enter the picture.

Lee Jong Suk shines in his role; this was my first time seeing him as a lead, and I was thoroughly impressed. I adore male actors who can cry real tears instead of the exaggerated “I’m pretending to cry” faces. Major credit goes to the scriptwriter for weaving the story together like a stunning necklace, with suspense unfolding gracefully in every episode.

the comedy sprinkled throughout, ensuring there were no dull moments. Kim Hae Sook and Jin Kyung delivered exceptional performances, adding depth to their conflicting roles.

One more highlight was the opening soundtrack—it’s an absolute banger! While I did find the title misleading, as Pinocchio herself had little to do with the main story, it didn’t diminish my enjoyment. Overall, this show is a perfect 10/10. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a mix of heart, humor, and thought-provoking themes!

Scalpels , sutures , ROSC and Romance

"Dr. Romantic" is hands down one of the best medical dramas out there, and after watching it for the second time, I’m sure I’ll be revisiting it again in the future. The talented cast, including the brilliant Han Seok Kyu, Yoo Yeon Seok, and Seo Hyun Jin, delivers standout performances. Even the supporting actors were incredible, giving the show a real family-like atmosphere in the hospital setting. It’s heartwarming to see such a close-knit group working together, making the hospital feel more than just a place of work.

What sets it apart is the accuracy and care in portraying medical cases. I mean unlike many other medical dramas that lean on fictionalized or sensationalized content, the writers here did an amazing research. The procedures and medication names are realistic, adding an informative touch that doesn’t feel forced at all . Right ??

The chemistry between the lead characters ??? Oh my god !!! it literally goes beyond just the romance. Their dynamic as colleagues, friends, and mentor-mentee is so good plus the mutual understanding and unwavering support they show each other, both professionally and personally, felt so damn genuine.

the portrayal of the teacher-student relationship with teacher kom and pupils is spot on. Rather than taking a traditional approach, the drama shows a mentor who truly understands and nurtures his students, even the more rebellious ones., a completely unique take on mentorship.

I know a lot of people don't even pay attention to this details but this show has an exceptional cinematography. With a large cast and numerous chaotic hospital scenes, it would be easy for the camera work to slip up, but it’s flawless. It immerses you in the action, making you feel like you're right there in the ER, witnessing it all firsthand. My god I don't know if I was the only one to feel this.

So, you can say this drama was emotionally gripping, and realistic drama that leaves a lasting impression. So what else can you ask for ...really ???

Glad this time it wasn't a doctor, they sent to the past.

Ahhh !!! Lovely !!! At last a writer thought of sending an forensic expert instead of doctor to the past .. otherwise I didn't even remember how many present- past travel series I watched almost all of them were about a person who is apparently doctor/medical expert by profession ...
The storyline was very interesting and to the point as she travels to past, she right away starts using her expertise as forensic expert to solve cases .. like no beating around the bush ... Meanwhile she also is remembering these visuals that are related to her tragic present situation making the plot running simultaneously in present and past ... ( Won't give more spoilers you check out for yourself)

At last I will say for many series which dont actually have good writing but still a huge viewership , I think this one is quite Underrated .. i feel it literally takes a good amount of brain power to write such stories especially in short drama format.the writer need to be appreciated for the hard work.

Coming on to the cast both FL and ML did great job ... FL was a perfect pick for the character she is acting shades of her character so effortlessly.. her emotions goes 'on to off' as soon as she starts her investigation with the corpse with that peculiar way of dialogue delivery .. just amazing.
ML seems to be a new actor haven't seen him before this but he did a good job as well .. he was able to deliver the best in both of his characters.

Overall a good show .. ?

Nothing special for a betrayal-revenge story

I don't find anything different or unique for the overall storyline ... Simple betrayal to revenge plot ... I mean you are not missing anything even if you don't watch it ... There are already a lot of similar plot dramas in the market ... Infact this one is rather boring than the others. the story gets very flat after episode 6 ... For the FL is jewelry designer, the story writer has pushed too much stuff like jewelry project jewelry gala jewelry this and that ...( Don't know if even the real jewelry artists get these many things to do in that short span of time) ..I decide to drop it at ep 9.

Absurd ..and boring

There is absolutely no consistent flow in the story ...events are happening abruptly..like he suddenly falls in love with her like that out of blues and declares her as his real fiancee ... I mean there is no journey ..no moments ...
Though ML's acting is fine but FL is a disaster ..she doesn't know ABC of expressions or dialogue delivery ... And her irritating act of trying to look cute ... I mean come on ...as per the script You came from a struggling background ..that demands a maturity in your character establishment while you are acting like an immature teenage girl from a well off family. Pathetic


Plot development was equally miserable ... Everything seems to be copied from other shows/novels ..nothing new ...

Worth watching : NOPE absolutely

Worth rewatching : don't watch it even for the first time.

Better off Asleep

I went into this show with high hopes—it’s from the creators of Pinocchio, so I expected the same magic. But, let’s just say it didn't even meet half of my expectations.

First off, the female lead (don’t even remember her name),I was kind of hoping for someone who’d hit me with that Park Shin Hye-level charm, whom I missed dearly. This was my first time seeing this actress, she’s good, I don’t think she’ll make it to my favorites. The chemistry with the male lead was so-so too.

And the narration? Oh, the excessive, endless narration. Each episode is loaded with monologues and POVs from male lead, female lead, side characters, probably even the neighbor’s cat. trying to explain every little thing. Imagine having a thrilling crime drama pause every five minutes to give a detailed commentary on everyone’s psychology. I’m not here for a lecture—I’m here for the drama!


The mom character had me laughing until she went off the rails after finding out about the leads’ shared past. She decides to hide a ring that the male lead gave to the female lead. Like, okay? Was this supposed to change anything? Because I’m pretty sure he could just buy another ring.




Then there's the whole future-vision power fiasco. These characters can literally foresee life-or-death situations, yet they repeatedly walk right into them. If I saw a vision of myself getting hurt in a certain place, I’d be making plans far away from there. But they seem determined to test fate at every turn. It’s like they have a superpower but refuse to read the manual.


Oh, and randomly, a side character suddenly becomes fully color-blind. Talk about bizarre! Add to that some uninspired wardrobe choices.

Overall this was the type of drama which will force you to revisit your life choices.
