This a complete pack of comedy with boss and secretary typical romance
First of all, this drama brings an uptight mathematics genius with narcissist personality and a his secretary which is serving him more than a year. The story picks up on very good note.The plot majorly focuses on the Lee Shin A (Krystal Jung) who somehow concludes that her boss is the sole culprit of her mental state. And after that, her revenge plot begins (which is itself a pack of comedy). What I like the most is that whatever she tries to do to her boss she somehow fails to make him remember his old personality. With amnesia twist, Noh Go Jin (Kim Jae Wook) plans to find the real culprit who is threatening him while Lee Shin A acts as her fake fiancee.
As a typical romance Kdrama, Noh Go Jin suffers from a heartbroken past which will be revealed later. And both of them fell in love with each other in the end on a happy note.
What new does the drama brings to the viewers:-
- A complete new type of boss but with same rude and arrogant personality
- A secretary with high motivation to achieve something and kind of hate her boss
- A new set of comedy
- And a romance which is build up to hide an accident.
- Some good OSTs
What I personally like about this drama is Krystal Jung's acting. A psycho type girl who is doing everything to satisfy her hatred towards his boss and in her heart gaining sympathy towards him. As always Noh Go Jin doesn't disappoint with office romances, as he worked on Her Private Life (worth checking out).
My suggestion for romcom viewers just hop on to this drama and you will not be disappointed. Till now, episode 12 this drama is holding its high standards.
With a good character development and with nice flow the story continues. Hope it deserves a good response from the viewers worldwide.

ZOMBIE thriller and forget the rest
Trust me on this one. The Netflix drama is thrill watching. Forget about the cast and jump into it. From the beginning to the end the drama holds you to your couch. The production is just too good. With nice VFX and zombie action to sound effects just take this one to another level. I don't know much about other Zombie K dramas but this has become my new favorite. Train to Busan was my last zombie movie.DON'T compare this drama to any other piece of work. Just go with the flow, the story takes place in a high school and the rest you will get to it. The supporting characters maintain their pace and run the plot smoothly. Believe me, the zombie attacks were well executed and opened a new window for more such scenes. Whatever be your expectations please watch it one go. It will give you excitement for more without thinking much.
The plot was concise and completed in season 1 itself. As a typical Netflix show, there is a slim chance for season 2.
For the zombie drama lovers, I know you will not be disappointed and will quench your thirst from this.

A warm story about love
Many K dramas have art and culture storyline. One of the leads the art gallery director or curator. And I personally like this type of plot. But I prefer developing romance over anything. This drama will deliver those expectations. Its refreshing, to watch.Coming to this, drama completely focuses on developing a relationship between debitor and creditor. How they entangled themselves. How they bonded together over an art gallery. Comedy is followed and little bit of emotional seens can be seen. And yes, we do have antagonist in this drama.
First half totally light hearted, you can take your peaceful time to watch this. Then the drama picks up after episode 11. Where the real drama begins. For all those viewers who are seeking to watch a light hearted romance with not much of intense drama and crime, you should definetely watch this. Due to release in 2021, it has updated story and production is top notch.
Park Gyu Young(Da Li) does a fabulous job here. I am used to watch her as a second lead or side character but this drama does justice to her. She knocked her role perfectly. The cuteness she deplicts with a new looks of curly hair. Yup I saw something new here.
Kim MIn Jae(Cocky Prince) plays his role way better than I expected it to be. There chemistry is just so sweet. Just go for it.
Anymore, and you will get spoiler here. So I will stop.
OST are good. You can get 2 or 3 lovable songs to hear.
- The sweetest Love
- Straight
- U hoo hoo

A must watch Joseon period drama.
What a drama...! Totally enjoyed it. A modern day chef swapping in a princess body and ready to get married to the King. And followed with lots of chaos, comedy, heart breaking moments, jealousy and what not. A clear adventure for viewers to seek a wholesome drama and happy ending also HOPE for a new season.A modern way to present the story of Joseon era and perfectly executed by each characters. Hae-Sun and Jung-hyun chemistry is so good and how they clear their misunderstanding and grow closer to each other Supporting characters gave astonishing performance within the same story frame.
The plot is set on a good pace which will give a satisfacting ending with clear explanation and salvation to those who needed.
Music are also good, you can check the playlist on youtube also.
PLEASE add this drama on your watchlist you will not regret it.

Just romance and bonding has projected here.
Nothing new concept in this drama. Just that the girl is human and the boy is gumiho. This drama is totally carried out by bitter sweet moments, little bit comedy and some heartbreaking scenes. And ofcourse our female lead Lee Hye Ri (Lee Dam) has shown here top class acting. Because this character just perfectly blend with this plot. Our main lead Jang Ki Won (Shin Woo Yeo) who is a gumiho has been struggling to become human once again. This battle with himself will bring him close to Lee Dam and their romance journey will begin.The drama successfully potrayed the ending and bring all the couple together. If your sole purpose is just watching romance then this drama is just perfect for you. Beside romance this drama has nothing to offer, I mean you will not even find a proper character build up instead all the episodes are filled with romance between Dam and Woo Yeo.
The side characters are decent to watch and make the plot connected. Beside all this you will find some annoying moments with second male lead so just bear with that.
If you are looking for some simple romance and no other annoying back stories then you can watch it.
OST is good to listen.
- No rewatch for me.

A clown rulling Joseon.
As the synopsis states, the drama flawlessly executes its plot with superb acting. The viewers' questions are thoroughly answered by the director. No coincidents are plotted here, and no cliches can be seen. What would happen if a commoner took the throne and what challenges he would face is something worth watching. I find this drama more accurate in its Joseon era genre. You will enjoy and be satisfied by Joseon era politics and romance between the king and queen.The cast is worth appreciating. Yeo Jin Goo has done phenomenal acting. The twin roles are perfectly displayed. The acting style is enough to say how much effort he has given to his character. Lee Se Young (from the red sleeve) also perfectly played her character. And thanks to the plot here, she survived till the end, with a happy ending with the king.
Jang Young Nam is worth mentioning because the verstile actor has potrayed herself as the best anyagonist ever. She never fails to impress the people who watch her role. Surely an intriguing actress she is. Kwon Hae Hyo is also worth praising. Thanks to Enuch Cho (Jang Gwang) for giving us some laughs.
Jump to the romance. It is up to the mark with a satisfying ending. No betrayals or bridge of lies have been built into the relationship. Until the very end, the romance plot and the political plot perfectly coincide.
The drama may come with some flaws, which I will not discuss because I want viewers to watch it for themselves and then decide. Viewers of Historical K Drama, on the other hand, should add this drama to their collection.
I have never felt this good after watching it. More Joseon era dramas are out there, but this one will be the best.
The OST is well worth listening to.

Dissapointed ending because reality hits you hard
Gotta be honest, really spend my whole day to watch this GEM of 2021 but not satisfied. As a historical drama the romance was never the goal of the screen writer. I was hoping for a happy ending where the crown prince will become King and commands the court lady to become his royal cocubine. But no they ruined this drama for me. Upto episode 14, I enjoyed the drama. From episode 15 the plot picks up in a differnet manner and it all became a tug of war between the new king and his court lady. As the King is not brave enough to show his greed of love he bears in his heart and other side the cout lady who is not sure wether she want to show her love for the king or she wants to live free of any bondage.The episode 16 and 17 clearly f*cked my brain. i hate the screenwwwriter and director for this. This is my first ever K drama in which I have not cried a single drop of tears. Beacuse I hope that last episodes will make me fall in love with the ending but naaaaaaaaa........it simplyruined for me.
But we can learn important live lessons from it.
- Stand for yourself.
- If you love someone just show them.
- Always try to live the life you want to live.
- Don't hold regrets for too long otherwise they will shear your heart.
- And don't expect too much from anything or any being. Even K drama also.
"My dissapoinment is immeasurable and my day + night has been ruined"
"Brain has stopped working"
Help.exe
Anyways the ending is purely realastic will strong and more mature message but it doesn't convey that much to me.
So I despise the ending. Not gonna watch again. It's immposible for me to even think of this drama to be any good.
Cast - Top notch
Acting - Likable and firmness to the character
Story - A painful and unrelatable end
Visuals - Decent
OST - Not gonna listen to it.

A good healing emotional drama
This drama doesn't hold a strong plot. But a decent storyline helps you to watch it. The characters are good. And the plotline completely revolves around Shin Hye Sun (Woo Seo Ri) who wakes up after 17 years and finds her life completely changed. And our male lead yang Se Jong (Gong Woo Jin) is locked up his heart for 13 years. The plot has some happy moments and family moments. The emotional level is very low in this. This is a drawback of this drama. I as an intense emotional drama lover, fail to get satisfaction with the whole drama. But still, it's enjoyable. Why?? Because of Shin Hye Sun. (Mr. Queen & Angel's Last Mission)What we can learn from this drama:-
1. Never blame yourself for too long. Because it will only harm you and your perception of life.
2. Know the importance of your family & well-wishers.
3. Sometimes in life, a particular incident completely changes your life but you should keep moving forward and always love yourself. Complement yourself that you have become strong from before.
OST is not that great. Felt the production lagging in here.

A complete blend of genre with crisp ending
Lawless lawyer is worth watching. This drama will exceed your expectation regarding law and crime genre. The plot does give justice to the viewers as it ends on a decent note with no rush at all. The 16 episodes will certainly satisfy you. The drama begins with a boom, you will see Bong Song Pil doing all the craziness to achieve what he wants. He will fight against he corrupt officials with the help of law and fist. Ha Jae Yi helps Song Pil as they share same past and lost loved ones due to one person only.The ending is satisfactory and the drama has some twists also. In the genre of crime and law, this drama is a sweet dish for you. As it is simple, continuous plot, no dragging of past, proper character development, no unnecessary cliché of corrupt prosecutors, and a clean cut acting by the leads.
I feel the best villain role has done by Choi Min Soo (damn his accent is mesmerizing).
Supporting characters are played well. The drama does carry some romance but it doesn't hinders with the revenge. You will complete this drama with no headache at all.
I guess you will feel recharged after watching this.
OST is also good, had only 4 songs. Opening song is worth listening. The bgm with the drum beats make this special gangster vibe.
Go ahead it's worth the time.

A revenge driven plot with no cliche!
The story follows our main lead attorney Kang Pil Joo, which goes on a revenge journey to bring down Executive Jung Mal Ran.He plans everything in detail with cautious planning. This characteristic will make you wanna watch more episodes.
The character built up is very good. The plot gets a little sketchy after episode 20. Then ending is played slowly to adjust each character's mood. You will get hyped up to episode 14 after that it's up to you to watch.
Anyway, I binge-watch this drama and am satisfied with a reasonable ending.
Trust me the direction and the soundtrack felt a little old and kinda boring. As this drama has no special OST to listen.
No rewatch for me.

A heart warming drama
I Gotta admit Shin Hye Sun (Lee Yeon Seo) has given the best performance. I really loved her acting. After Mr. Queen, I am seeing her next drama. What a charisma and one-to-one connection can be developed with her and the viewers.The Drama lets you hook up in just 4 episodes and the rest is a tireless ride with emotions spawning all the way.
Both the leads develop their romance cycle after 14 episodes or so. But still, I personally felt an attachment with these two.
Kim Myung Soo and Shin Hye Sun nailed it..... The story hits you hard in the brain. Direction is also good with good cinematography and the plot is decent with very little cliche in it,
OST is worth listening to. GO check it out.

Finest melodrama out in Korean wave
Graceful Family is phenomenal to watch. The plot is gripping and make you more curious to watch till end. The direction of the show is also good and pointed in a single direction with no fillers to watch only a wholesome drama.If you like succesion fight or who will become CEO of the congolomerate with family lies and backstabbing. A system where money and power speaks for an individual then you should watch this.
This is typical family drama with very good character build up and fabulous backstrories.
The cast is just too good to watch. Neverthless the ending might took you to a surprise but somehow you will accept it as a best possible outcome you can get.
Don't hope any thing from the characters just watch through this and you will find that every character holds a very strong reason to keep fighting.
~ The drama follows very sharp twists. And you can't predict it. So you will enjoy it for sure.
In fact it is my first melodrama which i have finished in one go.
OST is also good.
'Black Diamond' and 'I am on Fire'

A decent drama with nice plot
This is my first ever drama with Bo Young and Jong Suk. I enjoyed watchin this.The story developes at a good pace.
Never thought that the director would show all the background connection vetween the characters. But the episodes can be a little shorter, doesn't felt that 18 episodes were needed for this.
Jung Woong-in also played his part quite well.
The romance between the leads developes gradually but as K Drama cliché female lead tries to push away male lead but yeah in the end they all get together.
If you like the leads chemistry then you can watch:-
- W
- Pinnochio
Rewatch value - NOPE.

Took me by surprise.
It is my first drama with the main lead as Namkoong Min and he nailed it. The acting is superb, at best. I personally like his character. How he deals with everybody and his negotiation skills hooked me till the last episode.The drama is promising to watch with the theme of 'How to manage a professional baseball team which is lagging in every aspect'. YES, you will get disappointed because there are no hard-core baseball matches to watch. The story is deeply focused on the management side. If you are interested in this you can go for it.
you can watch this free on youtube as well on the SBS channel.
Well, I am not disappointed but yeah it does take me by surprise.
NO, rewatch from my side but I will explore more K dramas by Namkoong Min.

A complete world of emotional war
Where should I begin with? This drama is just a GOLD.Superb acting by the main leads. And my favorite strongest female lead Seo Ye-ji.
Just go for it. I am out of words to explain this great piece. Just watch it.
It has sad moments with joyful ones. Fighting with the past is hard and can be tricky but with the love and support of our close ones, we can overcome anything. A clear-cut drama that focuses on how a human would feel when he is mentally challenged with real-life responsibilities, The drama has many cheerful moments and you can connect to the main leads.
The ending was also satisfying and make you fall in love with the plot.
