This is a very difficult Drama for me to review because the plot is something we’ve seen before elsewhere. If you’re going to go that route, make sure you do it better than what’s been previously released.
Started out nice but it dragged on and got a bit repetitive which kind of made me lose interest at the half. Also, the unrealistic topics studied did not add to the credibility.
I liked the cast, I really did but I could not really bring myself to really care about any of them so this made it difficult to sit through all 16 episodes.
The show was just a bit above average but I would not watch it again.

I enjoyed this Drama, but it could have been a 10

First, It has to be said that it is an adaptation from a webtoon, so sometimes things aren't going to be like they are in the real world.
I really enjoyed the first episodes, it was a great setup to the story! and the following ones were also nicely done, engaging, you wanted to root for the characters.
You liked the ones you were supposed to like and disliked the ones you were supposed to. Main leads did a great job and the side characters happened to steal the spotlight some times (that's how good the actors portrayed them).
I was 100% with this drama until the last 2 episodes, and the worst of it being the finale! extra 30mn long and felt like a lifetime!
It did not fit the drama and the characters that were so good throughout 14 episodes. A bummer because it could have been so much better, but still a solid 7

An Interesting drama but a final letdown

The first episodes were gripping, you want to know these people, you root for the heroine, you are invested.
And then.... everything changes, unfamiliar people, unfamiliar environment...
A jumble of sorts in the episodes. They tried to make it cool but in the end, even with 7 episodes, it felt too long.
quite a few irritating characters didn't help make this the great masterpiece a lot of people are saying this is.

IF, they would have stuck with the original cast, this would have been different (I grant you that) but a better success (in my eyes anyway).

I walk away from this with mixed feelings.... but still give it an above average rating because the first episodes were great

Predictable and oh so boring

The premise was great, ex profiler turned fake shaman to make money to uncover his friend's death.... and it all went downhill from there.
I had to force myself to get through this drama, I even fast-forwarded some scenes as it was so boring.
Even the actors couldn't save this drama.
I usually take time before selecting a drama and many critics gave it a thumbs down but seeing the score and reviews here I was hopeful... Episode 1 was good, I was happy I decided to watch it and then episode 2 was average, 3 was below average, by episode 4 I already wished it was over. And it was a long drama. Could have been wrapped up in 6 episodes

I was warned by a couple people to avoid this drama but how could I when it has such a stellar cast?
My tastes in drama are not common and I am totally fine with not “fitting in” the norm or being a “garden variety” watcher.

The story is very simple, 2 rich boys like poor girl, rich girl likes one of them, big show of haves and have nots, we’ve seen this before.
What is it that really captured my attention? The characters! How damaged they all are no matter how much money they have. Great backstories and character evolution, nice romance and a big kudos to the actors for making this work with such a weak plot.
I’m not crazy, but the 9/10 I give it is based on my feeling, I guess this will go as one of my guilty pleasures ?

What a nice little rom-com where NOTHING angsty ever happens.
This show will not raise your pulse, it is very predictable, and sooooo sweet you will have to schedule an appointment with your dentist (tooth decay and all).

I really liked the drama and the dynamics between the two lead ladies, their friendship never wavered which showed how strong their bond.

This drama had a real gem! A gem so shiny it made me smile every-time he was on screen: Kim Shin Hyeok
He completely stole the show and outclassed all members of the cast. I would love a drama just based on that goofy character! Upright, wears his heart on his sleeve, very perceptive of what goes on around him, probably the smartest man in the room most times… I was really rooting for him and I regret we did not develop his arc more.

Thanks for the sweet time show! I really enjoyed myself.

Great idea and start to this drama but it fell flat after a half dozen episodes. Boooring and not even Daniel Choi could elevate the level.
It’s not that the actors did a bad job, there were some nice moments but the weak (or can we say Lazy?) writing sent this ship sinking down faster than the titanic. Leads lacked chemistry also I think.

And the ending? Smh… for a musical Drama, where was the Finale performance? Or maybe this was cut by the production? The only thing that comes to mind is Lazy execution of what could have been a great drama. Shame.

I’m on the fence with this drama.
While there are parts I really enjoyed, equal parts frustrated me and then rest just plain bored me.
I really enjoyed the first Dream High so obviously my expectations were high for this second season but, somehow I was left unsatisfied.
I liked the cast, they were nice but did not hit me in the heart as the ones in the first version did. Once the heart is half in half out, it’s difficult to care and makes for a less enjoyable experience.
I am sure many will enjoy it, I’m 50/50 on this one.
Love Kang So Ra and Jung Ji Woon though ?

This is a very difficult drama to review because by the end, I was confused. What was the message in all of this? What was the writer really thinking when he wrote this piece? What, as a viewer, am I supposed to feel or understand from this?
The only thing that comes to mind: Frustration; and boy did this show frustrate me!
I really struggled to keep up with all the Paranormal turns and twists, and friends I talked to about it was also having trouble grasping the plot.
Choong Hoon told to him that he was taken by time so his life can be saved… … save from what? ¯\_(?)_/¯
Park Min Young was great in this drama but that doesn't justify you having to sit through 20 episode of this Fringe/Time Travel/Paranormal mess.

Great message overall and feel good drama with no angst.

Having said that, the last 2 episodes frustrated me at some parts. I had absolutely zero emotional stake in SooAh or that creepy sunbae from the beginning. I regret that we had to sit through such waste of valuable screen time to watch the redemption of SooAh (really?) and feel a bit robbed of more cute moments with the lead couple or KS’s time with sister or mom. MiRae's family (especially dad) I would have liked to see a lot more of.
Hyun Jung was also in my opinion not developed enough, she's the friend that always stood by MiRae, old or new face. I think she deserved a lot more screen than SooAh for example.
