I'll never regret binge-watching it for two days.
This is not only my favorite kdrama, it took the spot of my favorite show ever.The story got me whipped instantly, i loved seeing rhe story progress episode by episode for both timelines.
It was so effortlessly good i couldn't stop watching it, i put aside all my errands to enjoy it and it was the best choice of the week i guess.
I loved the cast, both female lead and male lead were amazing in their own way, i love how we see them evolving through the story along with the side characters.
My props go to the villains of the story too, which i hated so much, a great performance.
Each episode left me either tearing up or breathless.
There's a lil of everything, fantasy, mystery for a bit, funny moments, romantic moments, drama all perfectly woven together. I loved the pace it had and it felt just divine like that, i wish we had one more episode just to see how they ended their life together but i guess that's on me being a lil greedy and wishing it never finished.
I loved the music hands down, i ended up saving it on spotify which is not something i usually do unless i just fall for it, and this was the case.
I'll probably rewatch it countless of times cause kt was so good i dont think I'll be able to stay too long without it.

light-hearted
such a lovely story, i loved every second of it.. through the story, even though it's made to be light and funny, it has plenty of reality checks, talking about serious topics.. but never stops being charming.. the actors did an amazing job, i love them as a duo. actually loved every part of show, from the music choice, to the side couples, the chaotic energy, it was just so perfect I'm not gonna lie.. i hope more and more people will see this drama since it's so well made.. i hardly like romcoms but this one truly stole my heartWas this review helpful to you?
I'm an emotional mess
I'm not gonna lie, it took me a while to watch this drama, but i didn't wanna rush it. I wanted to savor every second and I'm glad i did.It was amazing, i loved the peace they set, the way they keep showing you past and present, the way you slowly get to know everyone.
The cast was excellent: i cried and laughed so much!
The characters all had a personality and more or less it got represented so well!
The music was a m a z i n g: i might be biased about Christmas tree but all of the songs made for this drama where great!
I'd definitely rewatch this drama again just to cry like a bitch in the end!

This review may contain spoilers
Sometimes random suggestions are gems
So, i started this drama after a suggestion on instagram, they told me it had a great story and the romance was not the center of it, and i already loved the idea.Overall i loved it, although i wish we had more content about some characters like jin-u or his mom, or park morgan that was used only as romance but could have had some potential besides romance..
I feel like they exaggerated with the breakups and get back together of the main couple, eevrry two three episode they'd break-up, and even tho i understood their reasons, i feel like they could have saved us from at least 2 break-ups lol
as always the only thing i wish we had was a "what happened after" like what happened to chairwoman? Did morgan and Bar Ta-Mi got married? What did Ga Gkyung did after she brought down her ex in-law.. also it leaves out such a potential beginning for a second season 3
But it was a great drama to watch.. the music didn't stick to me besides the OST, that i never skipped.
I loved the choice of casting, they all did a great job and made me really anxious through the whole drama
I wish i could forget everything about this drama and rewatch it in one sitting?

Tearjerking is an understatement.
I postponed watching this for a while, everyone was talking so highly of it that I was scared it was not gonna reach my expectations, but oh boy. It was totally the opposite.This might be probably one of my favorites genres, but the fated trope didn't disappoint me.
I loved the speed it was going, the way emotions were portrayed, honestly a masterpiece.
I must say I'm sad we didn't get more of some side characters, but the two romances the story gives out are so well put, they made me cry more than once.
And honestly I didn't expect the happy ending, but I was so relieved.
This will probably end up taking a sweet spot in my heart cause it just got me so emotional.
The cast is amazing, they made me fall for each one of them. Gong Yoo, Kim Go-eun, Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na made such a spectacular performance, their tears were my tears.
The ost was great, also there's not once I skipped the opening or the credit song cause they were SO good.
I'll probably rewatch it often cause it was just way too good to be forgotten.

Either you love it, or you hate it.
There's no in-between, either you are a die hard fan or you dislike it completely, and ngl i can see why. It's my first kdrama, as almost everyone at this point, and in the beginning I was skeptical, the first episode was so full of stereotypes it felt like reading a 2015 fanfiction, but I decided to embrace the chaos and keep going.Everything is exaggerated, hilarious and quick, they took all the famous tropes and dumped them in the story along with traumas. At the end of the story Jan-Di had more traumatic experiences than hair.
But although being extremely cliché, I loved watching it. I laughed, i cried a lot, i got angry and emotional, and I'll probably keep rewatching it when I'll be feeling off.
I literally binge-watched it in 4 days and I'm still not regretting it.
I loved the cast, i fell really quickly for Gu Jun-Pyo, and I blame that on the daddy issues, Ji-hoo deserved more, and I wish we had more SO-EUL sadly.. I also wished they gave us more Woo-bin content since we only got a lil of him towards the end.
I would have definitely liked a "What happened after the ending" episode where they showed us the life of everyone, maybe seeing Jan-Di and Jun-Pyo in a somewhat healthy relationship, what happened with Ga-Eul and Yi-Jeon.
The OST are a bop, I can't stop replaying them in my head, they just live rent there.
The second lead syndrome is strong here, Ji-hoo had me on a chokehold.
But I reiterate, I understand why someone could not like it, not my case but it might be too much for someone else.

I loved it
Im writing this right after finishing the series, still overwhelmed and thrilled.I started Vincenzo hesitant cause im not a fan of mafia content since i already see enough on my daily life since i live in italy, anyways it was quick since i was dragged into the story and couldn't stop watching it.
I loved the plot although it had some things thrown in and never explained, like the relationship with paolo or the other family thrown towards the end, yet it was so full of events that it didn't matter much.
I was amazed, i loved the villain, i loved the dynamics, the strategy. I fell in love with side characters, main cast, everyone. I loved the way the whole thing was put on.
It's definitely not for everyone since it might be a lil too gruesome for someone not used to all that blood, and also it might simply not be gour genre.
I loved how slow burn the romance was, although i wish we saw more of their relationship after the ending, yk?
Keep in mind that it's not only lawyer stuff but a lot of revenge is involved.
I'm not a fan of the OST but it was good compared to others i have heard.
The cast was amazing at conveying emotions, i loved it till the end.
I cried, i laughed, i was at the edge of the seat, so I'll definitely rewatch it. Im happy i changed my mind about it in the end.
Also side note, besides the whole mafia part, Vincenzo is probably one of the closest representations of (still stereotyped) italians i have seen jn a while, idk if it's bc how the western media portrays us or jusy this refreshing view, but i enjoyed it.

Speechless
I just finished watching this drama, and my head is still full of thoughts.This drama was so fun that i was always at the brink of tears..it had everything i usually look in a drama: laughs, tears, swoon.
I feel like it was perfect just like this, perfect amount of episode, perfect cast, perfect speed.. yk
I wish we had more about some side characters but overall it was well balanced.
The plot is well executed, there's no plot holes as far as i noticed, and honestly is binge-watchable.
So happy about the ending, everyone more or less was satisfying.
All the kisses in this drama left me breathless.
Not a huge fan of the music choice, although it fit perfectly everywhere, yet idk why it didn't stick in my head unlike others.
I'll probably rewatch this drama cause it was so good im still speechless.

help
i don't drop stuff, but i was watching this drama while it was coming out and i couldn't help but suffer whenever I'd have to go and watch the episode.. the plot itself seemed nice in the beginning, but the more it would go the worst it would get.. it was like watching two statues interact with each other.. i usually like the leads's acting, but here the chemistry was non existent.. If I could go back in time I would tell myself how bad it is and unwatch this drama.. and this speaks volumes Abt what i felt since I don't even review stuff I don't like usuallyWas this review helpful to you?
Wow just wow
I just finished this drama and wow. I am at a loss of words but in a nice way.Every week I'd be waiting eagerly to watch this drama, every week I'd be at the edge of the seat anxious to see what was up next.
This drama is full of drama, action, plot twists and anxiety. So fucking good im happy i decided to start it.
The plot is well written, there not many plot holes as far as i noticed, the only thing is that i wished they gave us an explanation of what happened during the year time skip at the end, but i figured they did it to keep us somewhat hanging curious.
I loved the casting choices, both good and bad characters were spotless, i loved and hated, i cried and i laughed.
The music didn't stick much to me, idk it was just there, but i cant wait to rewatch this masterpiece!
