Cinderella Slapstick at it's finest
This show is hilarious. I laughed so hard. I love the chemistry btw ML and FL. It develops so well.If you like this kind of slapstick, this is a show for you.
You'll find some typical Cinderella themes, but with a ne interpretation.
Not a minute is boring.

Hilarious, sexy, unique, exciting
I don't quite understand why this drama is rated relatively poorly on viki. I was amazed by every episode until now. The actors are great across the board and the story, the editing and the music are finally something completely different than the standard K's.The body change is really well done. Even if you forget who is who while you wait at the new episode, the characters are so well played that it becomes clear after a few minutes. The main leads have chemistry and the kiss scenes are sometimes really hot and WOW! I also find the alternation between serious topics such as death, responsibility, grief, fear and the exaggerated world of advertising cool. What I also find crazy is Lomoon's transformation. The difference clothes and hair makes is truly unbelievable.
As soon as all the episodes are out, I'll watch it again straight away.

Chamber play without any sense
Maybe I'm too old and experienced to much to understand the meaning behind this film.It's somehow far-fetched to pack so many questions of fate into this short vacation with a childhood friend (hand on heart, who remembers their friend from elementary school so much?!?) in New York.
A what if and what could have been play, that somehow doesn't make sense.
If the two of them had had something together, it would have been more realistic - but so???
Well, we can watch good actors and admire a little bit of New York in beautiful pictures. That also has something of its own. But I don't understand the hype surrounding this film.

Outstanding drama - one of my alltime favorits
I'm usually more of a Xianxia fan and don't really like Wuxia. But this drama left me speechless.I admit that I started watching because of the title and the hot opening scene. The two main actors blew me away immediately, even though I didn't know either of them. The story captivated me immediately and the costumes, the cuts, the music, everything captivated me so much that I immediately took out a subscription to Youku to devour this series. It's now also on Viki, but I don't want to wait. The development of the love between Mei Lin and Murong Jing He is told in a wonderfully coherent way. I think it's particularly nice that a camaraderie, respect and friendship develops before both realize that they love each other. The time when both disappear from the scene and hide in a mountain village - to recover and wait for political developments - is particularly important in order to understand the dynamics of the two and also to understand why both want to sacrifice themselves for each other. The adventures of the two are filmed brilliantly. The cameraman has a great sense of aesthetics and the landscape shots and locations are really well chosen. Baron Chen, as Murong Xuan Lie and Crown Prince, manages to stir up emotions very subtly. He is the considered villain who plans calmly and leaves nothing to chance. If he weren't caught up in his obsession with the beautiful General Luo Mei and thus rash and vulnerable - nothing would stop him. At the beginning I would never have thought that she would fall in love with him and stand by his side even when he dies. You almost don't begrudge this ice-cold murderer the opportunity to express a wish for the next life. You often forget that this person has the lives of tens of thousands of people on his conscience and that all just to defame his brother. This is even pointless, because he would have become the Crown Prince without any ifs and buts. The heir to the throne of Yue Qin, who loves Mei Lin, is a little pale but beautiful. This obsession is not entirely clear, as apart from gratitude for saving him, there is actually little interaction between the two and the love seems superficial. So I'll turn back to the bigger picture. I haven't mentioned the fight scenes yet, which are of course very good, very bloody, very brutal - so why does everyone somehow survive after such terrible injuries? Any university hospital of this decade would be overwhelmed. But a little imagination is needed. Contrary to my habit of fast-forwarding everything boring, I have made it to episode 24 without doing this. Chapeau. Record... Here we are now. The king is saved, the heir to the throne and the villain is dead. Murong Jin He has miraculously survived his enormous injuries and Mei Lin is on her way to marry the heir to the throne Yue Qin and on her way to another country... and now I am excited to see how my two beloved main protagonists will manage to turn things around and spend their holidays in the mountain village holding hands while the kids play... and woe betide them!!!!!

Exciting and sweet
This drama is so exciting, I can't stand it anymore, always these breaks in between, 5 days off, you should really binge watch it. I'm so curious......I find so many suspicious there (the mother, she never shows, that she loves her son and does everything for her politician career / the CEO and his brother / the brother of
the ex-girlfriend who is aggressive and violent)
But I really like how great the FL + ML are. The act with each other so honestly. This is so different from all these other K-Dramas where one misunderstanding follows the next.

Diabetes
I hate basically everything about this drama. It's so stupid, I'm at a loss for words. What's cool about a child falling in love? Apart from that, it's completely unrealistic and kind of the virginal dream of girls of boy band age. Help! Why does this drama have such good reviews?!?There are a lot of wonderful Disney Tales, if you wanna die because of Diabetes.

adult and sexy
10 so far, might change, but actually is this a drama which captivate me.Both leads are sexy and torn. Both have to overcome their fears and need zo stop playing games.
It's exciting to watch how it develops.
Highly recommend so far.
I think the whole atmosphere of the drama is really great and the music fits well with it.
I think the drama is extremely well done, it develops very slowly, but it's still insane. Exciting, so sometimes quite unusual somehow.

Give up!!!
I really loved the series, I'm also really happy that the two finally got together and are about to marry.It was clear with the video that it would come up again at some point.
I don't think that's necessarily an indicative of a second season (nobody needs that). Rather, it means that it just won't be easy for the two of them, even if they are married, because so many are against it. So life goes on as usual ? .
Well, the fact that both of them have had a partner before and therefore also sex should be clear, the video is just a real mess from her ex-husband, but all in all it won't change anything in their relationship.
Maybe the beast will do herself and her silly brother a favor and delete the video. Both siblings should have slowly understood that they never have a chance.
If you could just get someone who's solo, oh god who would I have had... LOL!!!
That must be a bit of a reciprocity thing. That's why I don't understand the point of still not giving up after the 100th rejection.

Nice Couple in Interior design scene
I really liked this. I thought the chemistry between the MLs was great and the decisions were totally understandable. I usually fast forward a lot with C dramas because they are often too long-winded and too detail-oriented. I really watched this one. A solid 8.5 points from me.############################################# 500 characters length ? ############## Puh ######################################################## Review, not novel!#####################################################Was this review helpful to you?

Wonderful and depresding at the same time
puh, what can I say about this. I felt so depressed after watching this and liked it at the same time.I would have liked, that the pair would end up in a kind of happy end. But - and that was my feeling from the beginning - they are to different and it would be to unbelievable.
At first he wanted to help her because of her disability. After he realized her pretty face he got more and more interested in her life and lost interest in his current sex benefitted friendships.
After they open up to each other, they live together. He helped her currently with her disability, but you see: he is pretty, tall, well educated... During this time, there are so much unlucky undertones in the behavior of both.
The moment he was happy to see the negative pregnancy test.
The permanent sad eyes of her.
The depressing living area. The kind she is related to him.
At the end, there is a scene, where both visit Scotland- and while I felt happy for them, it left me in disbelieving. ...and it was truly only her fantasy, because he moved on in the meantime and would marry another woman. This is like the world goes round, but it is so sad.
The actors are all very good and the film is slow, but at the same time rushed. There are no unnecessary scenes and we know about the situation within a few sentences.
I enjoyed watching it, but wouldn't watch it again, because it left me depressed. If I give my living time to films, it should cheer me up with magical and unrealistic love stories.

Exciting Film, unfortunately with a lot of stereotypes
The film is exciting and thrilling. Song Joong-ki's acting is really excellent, he's also good in normal K-dramas, but he's even better here. The entire film gets 10 points from me, even if I now criticize it. The film largely takes place in Brussels and I have to say that not a single European is portrayed as nice or sympathetic in the entire film!!! This is very unfair. Europe is groaning under the refugee burden of the last few years. In Brussels there are now two queues in front of the asylum office: families, women and men traveling alone. There are simply no more shelters to house people, so a lot of single men actually end up on the streets. That's terrible, of course, but at the same time it shows that the current system is breaking down because of the sheer weight of it. As already indicated in the film, many people flee for economic reasons and it is very difficult to do justice to people without a passport in individual cases. Here, too, the Belgians are portrayed as almost inhuman, it's so nasty towards the hard-working people in the authorities. Of course there are no "normal" Belgians in the film. Only the blonde woman f****g preferably in a pack is shown, the violent drug lord and criminal ...The most brutal xenophobia is constantly shown. This paints a one-dimensional picture of a complex situation in which there is more humanity and help than shown here.Was this review helpful to you?
Not sure, if I should like it
I actually like both actors (Memories of the Alhambra and hapiness are great series), but this drama is just a bit over the top, silly, illogical and boring at the same time. What I like the most is the second lead couple in this series. I'll watch it little by little, so I'll finish it. It's a shame actually, I was looking forward to both of them.**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Was this review helpful to you?

Cute BL love story
Cute ??? I liked the story and especially the playful acting of Nam Shi An. The ending was a very good one, i am satisfied. Some people are disappointed because of the second pair, but it's not a bad ending, it's only that they needs more time.Cute ??? I liked the story and especially the playful acting of Nam Shi An.

Wonderful romantic Drama
If it weren't for the constant screaming, the loud music and some inconsistencies, like the coma patient who gets up in bed after 20 years and kneels down - I would have given it 10 points.I liked the story idea and it was very entertaining and time runs while watching.
The main actors and even the supporting acts did a great job.
The only thing that was really annoying was the constant screaming from the main actress. I like her, but that was too much.
I also thought the main character was great and cute, but I had a crush on assistant Ahn ?
Watch it, if you like romantic fiction.

A thriller - and everyone knows everyone
Everyone knows everyone by 6.6 degrees of separation. Here everyone knows everyone by a maximum of 2 degrees of separation and everyone has an extremely tough fate ???I don't want to say that the show is bad and Cha Eun Woo - I don't really like him as an actor - has made some really good progress in terms of acting, BUT - the story is really far-fetched. What I like is that someone is either good or bad, but - like in real life - has weaknesses and grey areas. So far so good, but what I find really ridiculous as the show progresses is that everyone knows everyone and everyone is intertwined. There can't be so many intertwined fates.
