So refreshing!

I don't usually watch BL, but the premise of this drama called to me.

They created a whole world where Monos (people who can only see shades of gray) and probes (people who can see all colors as well as able monos to see colors too) are an ordinary thing.

It was a super interesting watch, and I would love for it to be longer (each episode has between 15 to 20 min)! I'm still hoping for spin-offs in this world, I think there's so much more to explore and there were also some ends that should've been tied.

The actors were great! The actor who portrayed Choi Yeon Woo was really good, he did a great range of emotions so quickly that amazed me.
The other ML, Go Yoo Han, had such a sexy voice and was really good at being "fresh" and "outgoing".

I definitely recommend this one, it's super short (you'll definitely want more) and the whole concept was really good.

Hot beginning, cold ending.

This is the kind of drama that angers me the most... it started great, with good dialogs and ideas and the casting was awesome, the fighting scenes were also cool.

In the middle of the drama the plot started going astray... I had the feeling they were complicating things so that the drama would get more exciting, but instead it became confusing and boring, with the fastfoward button being my BFF.

By the ending I was totally annoyed. They treated the FL like a dumb little girl that was always excluded from the machinations of her "genius" husband (who loved her so much that he couldn't waste a chance to put her in danger mentally (by lying to her, or blatantly not telling her something important that concerned her) and physically (be it by using her as bait or not includingher in his plots). I mean, everyone thinks he is so smart and stuff but couldn't he talk to his significant other and ASK her opinion? She never got upset (which upseted ME), but I ended up frustrated with her being so mistreated.

Really I couldn't understand why they got something so nice and transformed into a messy plot, with no chemistry between the leads (the second lead was better), and underdeveloped characters.

I was left unsatisfied, so I would recommend you to pass on this one.

Fluffy mindless watch

This is a super cute and fluffy type of drama.
There is nothing new here, but the actors do a great job!

Something to be appreciated is that the problems are solved really quickly, and there is always something new, so you don't get bored.

The FL is the happy/reckless type, however she does get your heart because she is kind, funny and always up to some shenanigans.

The ML is really nice too. When he fell in love that was it, he was super cool and "efficient". I mean, the guy could solve all the problems without looking like a know it all, he just did it because it was going to help the FL.

In all it was a quick watch to pass time and by the end I was looking forward for the ML's next project.

A disappointment altogether :(

Ok I have to say that I started this drama with high hopes, I mean, look at the cast (and I'm a huge fan of Park So Dam), but boy do I regret wasting my time on this one.

I was expecting a high paced drama, full of fashion, intrigue and of course, romance. If that's what you are looking for, don't waste your time like me, this drama is dull.

You get a lot, I mean a LOT of family drama vibes with this one, and it's actually cute, but not entertaining enough to cary the whole drama (sometimes you don't care about the main leads family life outside their interactions with the leads) and it's not the premise that brought you in.

The main leads did not have chemistry (their bickering is not sexy or smart, they just look like an old couple that is past their passionate times in their relationship) and that shows, because they are almost never together (and the PDA is scarce).

They completely forgot the FL, I mean, she had passion, a career and dreams and a mysterious background, and all of this kind of get in the backseat and is not properly dealt with.

The storytelling way of the drama is also boring, they kind of introduce you the conclusion of a situation and then spend the hole next episode, retelling EVERY SINGLE UNIMPORTANT DETAIL, instead of glossing over with the juicy bits and moving on with the next plot.

I felt like I was watching a drama with no real plot, and the person presenting the story to me thought I was too dumb to pick up the details without them being overly explained in a very fastidious way. It feels like they tried to put a lot characters and ended up not developing any of them, and that's truly a waste of talented actors.

Well, it was a waste of time (for me) so save yours and go watch something more exciting.

Confusing but compelling

I honestly don't know what i just watched... it was a weird mix of creepy, funny, confusing and pretty (yes, the weird little jellies are cute as hell).

I feel that the ending was super rushed and there are many things that are not explained throughout the episodes, so you just assume a lot.

I was left with the feeling that I just watched the second season of a show without watching the first one.Be it as it may, I just could not stop watching the drama!

The acting was great, the whole concept of the drama was awsome, but it's missing a lot of explanations and you'll feel like there are a lot of loose ends when you finish it.

In all it was an experience, a nice but weird one, and I would totally watch a second season.

An explosion of freaking cuteness

OMG I freaking LOVED this drama.
It was sooooo cute. Like, for real, it was super awesome.

I laughed so much watching this! There were a lot of unexpected scenes (specially when Adachi read Kurosawa's mind).

Adachi had so many interesting responses due to his newfound magic that I totally related with them. I got myself thinking:
- What if I, suddenly, had this power and found out that a colleague had a crush on me, what would I do?

Kurosawa's mind was such a delight, I mean they could have gone through the "manly" route, however, he has the stereotype mind of a "girl in love", that plans the couples future before they are even a couple. And that is unexpectedly funny, and catches you out of guard every single time.

I watched all the episodes in one sitting (the episodes are roughly 20 minutes long) and it was really enjoyable.

This is a gem, ladies and gentlemen.

This is a hidden gem! No insipid FL for you!!

People this is kind of the unicorn of dramas.

You know when we always complain about cliches and "dumb, clumsy, insipid " female leads? Well here is the answer to your prayers!!

OMG Goo Sera is one of the most awesomely weird female leads I've ever encountered (and I have seen A LOT of dramas). She is this weird mix of cuteness, smarts and stubbornness. I love her, and if she existed I would love to be her BFF.

So the plot revolves around her (a commoner with no political background) getting into politics just to get a nice paycheck. The catch is, she hates injustices and so she gets embroiled in political disputes and really funny situations because of this trait.

I gotta be honest some of the disputes may be a tad boring, but Goo Sera makes your time worth, because she has the best reactions, the best replies and the best sidekicks (the male lead is really cool, also her family and friends are so funny).

Also the bad guys are really relatable, not because you agree with what they do, but because you see this kind of people all the time ir real life (I mean a politician putting his/hers interests before the people's is not the far-fetched).

I confidently recommend this drama, give it a chance, you'll like it!

Must watch for music/dance lovers

OMG I freaking loved this movie!

The actors nailed every scene, be it by dancing or acting, it was awesomely done.

I already knew the actors from other dramas ( I'm a fan of Park Hyn Soo she's a great actress with such a soulful voice and even Do Kyung Soo from EXO), but they all exceeded my expectations.

The dance scenes were breathtaking, the whole vibe of the movie of fake peace in the middle of a war, prejudice, anger, resistance, resignation, the desire for something more, it was all in there and so much more.

This is definitely a must watch!!
Don't pass this one by!

Quick and cute

This drama caught me by surprise. It's has the same clichés other youth/campus/romance drama has, but with a few worthwhile twists.

Both leads are good actors, despite not have a lot experience (I've seen their previous works and they can pull off a lot of emotions, but this type of range is not needed in this drama) so you are entertained by them.

The secondary stories are just complements to the main one, so you get a lot of screen time with the leads and very few with the rest of the cast (and it was great that way).

This one is a very lighthearted drama, you don't get a lot of angst, and the problems that arise are dealt swiftly, so the plot does not drag, but do not expect a lot of logic from the plot. If you think really hard you'll have a lot of unanswered questions, but that's not important, the cuteness is. (LOL)

This is the perfect "filler" drama for you that are in between dramas or watching some heavy ones and are look for a way to chill.

I Definitely recommend and will be looking forward for the lead's next projects.

Cute with small doses of reality

This drama was super cute! The actors were on fire, the chemistry between the cast was really awsome and you get lots of eye candy.

The story was really interesting, and it made me ask a few questions like:
- How do you live without a dream?
- Are you just passing by in your own life?
- Would you fight for what you want?
- How far would you go to make your dreams come true?

I fell in love with the characters. Their struggles and their desire to do better were realistic and they make you root for them.

There are a few unanswered questions regarding the support cast, but it's nothing that could ruin your viewing of the drama.

I definitely recommend this rom-com full of both ROMance and COMedy, I marathoned it and was worth!

Cute drama, interesting characters

So this a drama full of romance and clichés, however the characters are really nice and they are well developed throughout the story, and that makes the drama interesting.

In the beginning you kind of dislike the FL, I mean she is clueless, but you gotta understand that this is a necessary trope so that the plot can move forward.
She is way too forgiving and you might consider that a flaw, but when the plot starts to develop, you begin to appreciate her casual approach to life and to certain situations. She only "fights" for the things that really matters to her, so the angst comes from her insecurities, not misunderstandings, which is something relatable to anyone in a new relationship (specially if it is an unbalanced relationship).
She also really bold when showing her feelings, and that is so refreshing because you feel she is growing in her shoes and maturing.

The ML is cold as ice, and really "dumb" when it comes to emotions, but when push come to shove he is not shy about his feelings for Yun Shu, or his marriage, and thats is so refreshing! He is really mature so there isn't a single crack in his demeanor (it's so satisfying him shutting down outsiders interfering in their relationship) when possible love interests come around both of them.

After they solidify that their marriage is not just a contract one, they are both committed to it, and they treat each other with respect, love and understanding.

The second couple, Li Nuo and Zhi Yi (Yun Shu friends) was very interesting and they teach us a lesson, "you should always value the person who loves you", and that is so clear in the end! (I found their ending so realistic and on point!)

The messy couple, Lu Yu and Yun Lan, were full of misunderstandings, and you feel like their story is similar to a main lead couple would have, so its kind of funny to see a secondary couple with a main couple plot.

You have it all with this drama, and it's a quick interesting watch, maybe between heavy dramas, or if you like romance dramas!

Be aware of Triggers

Okay, this drama has gone from cute to trigger warning real quick.

I'll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum but I think people should be warned before starting this drama thinking it'll be fluffy (like I did).

So this drama is about a man/boy, who is in college, who falls for an slightly older woman, a dancer who gave up being a dancer, who is now a coffee shop owner.

For him is love at first sight, for her it's love at his, annoying, persistence. Till here it's all fun and games, until you meet his mom.
The women is nuts. If you look up the word controlling at the dictionary, you'll find her name (she became one os my most hated characters).

She's so unbelievable toxic that she acts like a crazy tug, not like a ceo/company owner. It's bizarre and 110% unhealthy.

Then you have the male lead, who becomes extremely aggressive/possessive and thinks the only way to solve problems is by violence.
(A positive thing about the drama is that they touch on the mental health conversation, however it's extremely superficial and dumb, but, well better than nothing).

So here I am, with a crazy ML, thinking:
- Girl (FL), run for the hills. Seriously, dump him and his bad behavior and move on. This is toxic and you need help. (And in RL you'd probably end up dead).

She supposedly has 2 BFF but they are like:
- Oh Hun, he is immature...
Me watching the drama unfold:
- For the love of god... -_-' this is dangerous!

Since I love angst, I'm finishing this thing and then closing this review.

I just finished and it's bad. I actually like the main actors but the drama is rubbish. The psychological aspects of the drama, as excuses for crazy behavior is awful.

I'm so intrigued

I'm loving this drama. It has such a unique plot!

It's not everyday that you see a plot centered in a person that has especial needs, like the visually impaired ML.
I have never seen anything with Evan Lin, but he is great! I'm impressed with him and he has such a nice tone to his voice!

The chemistry between the leads is really good, and the way the relationship is portrayed is relatable (even if they add some angst/childish behavior to spice it up, I mean, it's a drama).

I'm liking everything about this drama, the actors (Wan Peng is a great actress), the music (it has classical music mixed in), the plot is really nice.. well let's hope for a great ending too!

Okay I loved it! I finished this drama and while there were a few moments I was like:

- hmmm Why? Is this really necessary? (But they were few and sparse).

I felt like it was a good love story. It has so many great moments that the weird/bad ones are forgotten. I also think it could've been a tad longer, I mean there were a few loose ends that could've been tied, but nothing that would change the drama/plot/ending.

It's definitely worth the watch, specially for those who enjoy a love story with HEA.

Nothing new, and way too cliché

I'm dropping this drama because it's too brong.

The FL is nice, and she is really expressive and kinda cute/fun, but the ML is boring and his face doesn't move it's so weird, like he has botox or something. He does the "stone faced" male protagonist all the time.

The plot is non-existent, I mean, the FL goes back to past in the way of a game to find love (I know you have probably seen this before many times). There she goes through lots of clichés (which I usually enjoy, but here they don't do a good job using them to forward the plot) and find love.

I usually like the bubbly, and not to much to think about, type of drama, but this one is really bad. I caught myself checking out my instagram, and fast-fowarding the heck of this drama.

This one was not for me. So save you time.
