Perfect blend, best TVB drama so far in 2020
Perfectly orchestrated drama with a good strike of balance between comedy and seriousness. Brings me tears of joy and caught up with the serious tension while guessing what will happen next. The chemistry between Vincent Wong and Owen Cheng is so good and really excited to see more of them in the future.The cast is huge but I like how each of them has their own story to tell to enrich the flavor of the various characters. The Keung Family, even though they did not grow up together, the four of them look like they are inseparable siblings. Sai Lung knows that he is not blood-related to the three sisters, but treat them like his own family.

Was really excited to see ACTOR PARK in action and taking on his first lead role in a 16 episode drama. With the announcement of the relationships of the cast, I did not expect this drama tilt towards the thriller component this much. I would say the thriller/investigation vs. romance is a 85% to 15%.
The amount of dead bodies, bloody scenes is more than romance. And I would say the psycho portion makes one feels worst. Humans that don't react normally will scare the hell out of you and make you constantly live in fear more than the non-living things does. Reason, you have no idea "what's next".
Towards the end, when everything starts to sync and gave a major throwback. It makes sense but gives loads of goosebumps as a viewer. The impact of the sound effect and OST really make me sit on a emotional roller coaster throughout the drama.
Love how the drama has a little component of "happily ever after" but not everyone deserves that.
Kuddos to the writer.
Hope to see more ACTOR PARK in the future!

If you are into fantasy drama, this is definitely one to catch up. I love how many variables the drama includes and the increasing intensity. How this drama really allows beyond just the main characters to shine, the supporting roles like Do Hwa, Ju Da, Sae Mi really stands out as the drama progress. This drama makes you think about life, about the things we missed out and judge too quickly. Hits me pretty hard when the self aware characters are fighting their way out the fate that the writer wrote for them. How the villain is drawn in not by choice, she is also a very good person with her friends. Will definitely rewatch it!

Really cool to understand real legends and places that is legit in the real world. In every legend, Pun Do La always see things differently and how she remembers every legend in different versions and explains it on the way. She always magnify what the person's true identity and hidden agenda. With the help from Zi Bok and Yik Sir, they solve case by case using the scientific explanation.
They only covered 11 legends in total, of which, majority are film in the same set/location. If you google, the legends will appear in your search. Through this drama, you will find out more about the different versions and the agenda to it.

I watched this series after the hype so all the episodes are out. Since genre is rom-com, so why not? End up binge watched the entire drama and I love the cast and the story line. It is not purely just romance, I like the little twist at the end where they showcase the trauma that the male lead went through. The young actor, Baek Gang Yoo, really stands out to me as a child actor. Set aside that he is a handsome kid, his acting skill is really good and I remember him acting in different dramas as well.
Apart from the lead actors, Chan Sung (from 2PM) acting as the stingy employee really shocked me. This is probably because I'm used to the Chan Sung on stage and not the actor side and he is really good! As for Tae Hwan who acted as the male lead's brother, I prefer his acting in W- Two Worlds instead.

The first drama that Seung gi film after discharged from army. I'm always a fan of fantasy in general and since they are using the Chinese gods as character reference, it is a must watch for me. The one character that truly stands out from the rest is not the main leads, but the supporting lead actress. Her role has so much development and she portrays it so well. Do check our Lee Se Young's parts.
Story line is really different from the "Journey to the west" dramas or movies even from textbook that we know of. Fresh.
The first few episodes are scary, I felt like there are more horror elements than thriller. The later part of the drama is more of brain-teasing and really how much the story is twisted somehow will loose me. Not exactly the best fantasy drama I've watched, but definitely worth the time.

The last-minute idea of holding the Master in the House Film Ceremony and each member have to produce a short film for the “event”. To everyone’s surprise, Director Jang made a short film with cut ever since the start as a gift for the members. The 100-101th episode is really touching when Director Jang made a short film just for the four fixed cast members to show them how much we appreciate them and recognize their hard work for the past 2 years. Moving on in 2020, they will be welcoming a new cast member to form Shin-Sang-Seung-Hyung-Jae and I really look forward to 102 as well.
Really inspiration variety show that I really enjoyed since the very first episode.
