It ran with my heart. UwU

I can't stop fangirling over this show. I loved it so much! When I say it was quick and sweet, I'm not taking away from the heart clench that happens, lemme tell ya, I thought my heart dropped completely out of my butt with what happened. Lemme just say, the average length of these episodes is 11 minutes and there are 8 episodes. I felt every single one and I'm sure you will to. That's a fact. I don't think they could have casted any better actors. From start to finish you are instantly hooked and in love with the characters. Yes, every single one of them. Even the coach who reminds me of J-Hope. Lol Don't @ me. Totally gave me Hobi vives by how he acted and was just adorable. Lol I really wish this show was longer. I didn't want to see it end. I feel like I just said goodbye to some of my close friends. I HAVE A VOID, DANGIT!! How did this happen?! I really wish I could write a never ending review about this show but my brain is stuck in fangirl mode where every thought is consumed with this show and the need to either rewatch it or find another one to lose more of my life to. Lol
I highly recommend Mr. Heart!
definitely a top 5 favorite BL for me.

Che drama bellissimo!

Vincenzo è un drama spettacolare con una sceneggiatura e un cast fantastici.
È un mix perfetto di molto generi che si amalgamano alla perfezione. La trama è stravagante e divertente, ma anche molto seria quando si parla di crimine, corruzione, vendetta e giustizia. La parte romance è quasi inesistente ma credo che sia giusto per il tipo di storia che si racconta.
Song Joong Ki è perfetto nel ruolo di Vincenzo; il suo personaggio è coerente dall’inizio alla fine e forse è proprio per questo che piace tanto. Bravissima Jeon Yeo Bin che come coprotagonista mi è piaciuta tantissimo. Oh Taec Yeon è stato fenomenale nella sua interpretazione. Ma devo dire che mi sono piaciuti tutti gli attori, ognuno perfetto nella sua parte.
Vi consiglio assolutamente la visione di questo drama e sono sicura che non ne rimarrete delusi.

Let me start by saying that Alex and Benny are extremely cute together. I feel their chemistry. And Sky Li is super cute. I honestly watched this film simply because I find Sky Li to be mega handsome. I think it has a cute plot, but maybe I'm just not feeling the characters that are fused to live with Benny and Alex. Sometimes I feel that there are scenes that are forced, some acting are extremely rehearsed that they look very unnatural. I don't wanna explore more about why I'm not feelin' this movie. But I do want to give credit to Sky Li, as he's really very cute. I think given a more challenging and interesting script and role, Sky Li will definitely shine, I mean he's a cute actor, and his facial expressions are really so charming. With that said, this film scores 6.5 on my review. But please do watch this film, you will find many funny and cute scenes.

A confused happy heart

The gradual unfolding of the love story of the 2 leads provided time for character development. The pace was slow but the beautiful ost filled in any gaps and kept the story moving.

The ending was ambiguous. I choose to be positive. Xiao Han was willing to wait how ever long He Ran needed. So many things pointed to a possible good outcome. The symbolism with the two fish and the special plant opening and the 2 cups with toothbrushes implied waiting and then that they would be together. The abundant fields of pink flowers implied that when all other blooms were dormant, these would bloom late. Xiao Han was pensive but then again he had a quiet considering personality.

Others may see the ending in a sadder perspective. I, however, choose to see that year separation as a time of healing. The slow smile and the embrace in the fields of flowers indicates that their love was meant to last.

There is a mention of a season 2. Frankly, I would prefer it be more focused on He Ran's mother and Zhang's relationship. This romantic melodrama didn't really strike me as "a slice of life" genre. But, their relationship seems to be conflicted yet passionate. It has room for development.

In the beginning I did not want to watch this drama. I m not really a fan of ghosts or fantasy ish dramas but since I was bored, I watched the first episode and kinda liked it. The first reason was the male lead, whom I ve been waiting for to grow up ever since I miss you. Anyway, I ended up waiting for the episodes weekly so I can say it s a drama I actually like. Even so, it s not the best drama ever. why?

1. The story. Even though I was excited to hear more about Man Wol s past, I can say it was not constructed really well. I think it needed more details and I find it that I still have some unanswered questions. Also, the daily ghost situation: at first it was ok, they were interesting but It got boring. Watching the same thing over and over again (new ghost, idk Chan Sung is in danger, Man wol saves him etc etc). The love story was slightly covered ( I find that their love didn t really have a point where it started--- which I should like, because technically the love grew bigger and bigger---but I saw no starting point)
What I mean is that I think the drama had no focus: it wasn t really the love story, but it wasn t the ghosts either. Lets say it was her past. Was it really? The past doesn t cover much.

2. The acting was ok. As expected form IU (obviously). The others acted well but there werent that many scenes where they could have shown really cool acting skills either. That s why I gave it a 9. The cast was really well chosen tho.

3. The music was on point. It made sad scenes even more heart breaking.

4. Hmm. Rewatch.. I would rewatch this but only in a few years maybe, after I forget what it is about. To be honest, I m pretty sure I won t. When I rewatch dramas I pick a random episode, because I know that every episode has something good going on. But here, I don t really know, there s a boring vibe it gives me.

*IMPORTANT* even though from this review it sounds like I kinda hated it, it s not true. I enjoyed every episode and when I had to be excited or shocked I was. The review compares it to my expectations of a really really good drama (also I ve just finished another one and it really blew my mind. So i might be comparing to it as well).
For a first watch, it is a cute drama that IS WORTH WATCHING.

You won't regret watching it!

I absolutely loved the show! It goes beyond being just an amazing drama; the portrayal of each mental health issue is incredibly authentic. The actors and actresses did an outstanding job conveying the real emotions someone might experience dealing with these problems. It not only educated me but also provided a fresh perspective on mental health issues. Coming from Iran, discussing mental health is quite a challenge - not exactly a topic you openly share with loved ones; you often find yourself navigating through it solo. This show was a game-changer for me, offering valuable insights into these issues, earning a solid 10/10 in my book. I highly recommend everyone to give it a watch!

A solid time travel drama! Watch it for the story, the suspense, and the plot! Those were amazing enough!

This is a fast paced drama that sets around serial killing, time travel, schemes, friendship, and psychological issues.
A really solid writing and world building. Even if there are plot holes, but it was not big ones. What I love about the plot is, we've got some hints, accurate hints. That around ep 16, we can guess who is the real villain that causes all these massacre and who seems fishy. But it was still really enjoyable watching it unfolds.
The characters are written well but not really deep. Well, afterall this is a 12 hours drama that tackles some big story tropes. Some may say that the killer doesn't have motivation but he does have it.

In the first few episodes, the pace was messy. It was kinda obvious they tried to shorten many scenes and only show the important part. And it was kinda off-putting. But as the story progresses, the pace got better and start to become really thrilling.

The music was okay, I guess. It served its purpose of carrying the atmosphere. But, there is nothing really memorable of it. Some scenes and corpses are horrifying, I simultaneously said 'that is straight out of horror movies'. But it was enjoyable.

There is kinda a hinting that the 2 main leads may have some romance down the road. They have amazing chemistry as friends. But until the last episode, I can't really feel the spark between them lol. It felt like brother-sister relationship rather than romance. Or maybe, my romance radar is blunted HAHA.

*spoilers ahead*

But on a second thought, for me, this is more of a parallel universe than a time travel drama. Because we can see in some scenes, the characters have some recollection/deep down feelings they may have known other person. E.g. when maru goes to HJ directly on their first encounter. I don't know whether this is an error of some sort of the production or whether it is just the dog, but it really disturbs the whole setting and atmosphere. For a time travel and pure reset, they shouldn't have any knowledge about the other person, at all. But for parallel time universe, it may happen, imo.

A STUPID ENDING

I think it will be the second season, so they sent the wufang girls out and heralded a new adventure. The Swordsman is also waiting for the woman he loves. It didn't happen.
In general, the series was very well constructed, well blended, the story was tried to be reflected properly, and it was one of the series with a different narrative that I have watched recently. I think it depends on the director. I got some American influences. Different things were tried, especially places, clothes, styles, lifestyles, secrecy, intelligence, swordplay, advanced techniques and mystery were included and a blend was made. It looked nice to me. Congratulations to the director. However, there were also mistakes that I don't know whether to call small or big. Especially when Wufeng was introduced, his ruthlessness, his ability to train invincible swordsmen or fighters, and his ruthlessness were mentioned. The way they use people is given in a very strange way, such as cruelty, using poison, being given an antidote if you complete your mission. Likewise, the Gong family, known for its closedness, secrecy, infiltration, security measures, swordsmanship, and Yellow and Gold Guards, was introduced as an uncompromising group. However, we saw that it was very easily infiltrated. Games were played knowingly and unknowingly. Likewise, with a little trick, Wufeng was tricked and the sword masters and fighters they praised so much were killed. Likewise, a great swordsman was created from an irresponsible child. The person suddenly became perfect. His mind became clear. He mastered all sword games and martial arts and became invincible. He became resistant to poisons. Finally, our daughter, the Wufeng spy who stole the endless heat, left home saying she was pregnant. Escaped. This person did not love the person he married. But we saw that he suddenly grew white flowers and watered them. ShangJue, who kept his distance from that woman, also started to like her. Now we will see in the future that this woman will do new things and cause trouble for the GONG family. Unexpected behavior from the highly praised Shangjue. Unexpected belief, deceived. I don't know if he will have children. But I think they will start the new season by playing tricks on WeiShan or taking him hostage. These were mistakes that should not have happened. I liked the actors very much. I didn't find any faults with the game. I even congratulate the players. The only thing I find faulty is that Yu Shu Xin plays with the same face for 24 episodes. If there is a sequel, he will play. Dead eyes. Eyebrows curved to give a sad facial expression. This face has never changed in good times, bad times, excitement, anger, fight, love or practice. The director said that this face of yours should be like this, spiritually. It remained that way. Is this how normal is? I don't know if he's not smiling or if he doesn't have any other behavior. I also watched a little of another series. It didn't seem that bad to me, but I couldn't figure it out here. I wondered if she was chosen for this role because of her cleavage, that is, her physique. However, Lu Yu Xiao, the actor in the same situation, on the contrary, gave all the facial expressions. She laughed, got angry, rejoiced, pretended to be in love. I love games played. His face changed, why didn't this one change, director? I didn't like these. I liked Zhang Ling He very much. It seemed to me that he grew up with his role. Well done. Ryang Cheng, Jolin Jin, the ridiculous personality who makes us laugh with different variations, Tian Jia Jin the Poisoner, Omid, Ai Mi. They were the players I liked. I liked them all, but these a little more. Let me say this for Ai Mi. It makes you think this girl can't be at this age. I've watched a few more TV series. Near perfect acting. A simple and pure and very beautiful face. Beautiful smile, beautiful look, very good facial expressions. He did his stubbornness especially well. I saw a very bright future. Hopefully the future will be clear. I think she will be a sought-after actress. He has already become one of my favorite actors. I congratulate him. Enjoy watching...

it's not all bad

so when I first started watching I really thought the acting sucked and the plot made little sense and I stopped watching around episode 5. but I decided to finish it and I'm glad I did.

I still think the acting sucked and the plot made little sense. I was confused pretty much the whole time. but I really liked a lot of what happened at the end and episodes 6 and 8 have some very juicy top tier smut scenes.

if you're in the mood for some smut, this is really a show to watch. it's only 8 episodes and the scenes are not brief. they don't cut away before the good shit like some other shows.

and if you're wondering if you need to watch cutie pie first, I would say probably not. I mean you'll see how these two got together but you'll still be confused regardless so it's really more about if you prefer first time or established relationship

It worth it

I haven't seen a lot of K-dramas and this became one of my favourites. I had problem to fall for this story firstly, but then it happened somehow. It's hard compare to whole BL, It's really good for Korean ones. Yes, the plot seems strange in the beginning and not for everyone although it's cute, sad, lovely and I need to watch it again.

As I said, I think plot is weaker and not because it’s simple. Shi On is like homeless sad puppy and Hong Seok did mistake because he pat him. When you keep this comparison in your mind, the story become more realistic.

If I think about actors... I'm sure their visuals suit their roles. And they are handsome as a bonus.

In the end this is a story about destiny and desire to be loved. Also, I was look forward to kissing scene, because whenever I saw interesting plot and actors this was fail, but there I felt it. And I stand for what I have said.

I heard a lot of hype from this show so my curiosity eventually led me to watching this. I definitely think this deserves the hype it gets.

PLOT the beginning each scene was engaging and the plot that unfolds leaves you wondering what happens next. The storyline is very much like goblin so can't really say its original but it was still interesting nonetheless. A lot of plotlines from the other characters and the ghosts from the hotel were thrown at me but I was more interested in finding out about Man Weol's past. I must admit that I did think the overall storyline of the drama was kinda confusing and even after finishing this not everything makes sense. I do think that the show spent too much time focusing on the storylines of the ghost who would come into the hotel. Like sometimes they were interesting but I wanted to see more of Man Weol and Gu Chan Sung, damnit!

The CINEMATOGRAPHY is beyond beautiful. There wasn't a single seeing that wasn't any short of wonderful. Even the boring scenes we're nice to look at because of the amazing production that went into the sets.

The COSTUME DESIGN was exquisite. The main cast always looked good but IU's wardrobe was on another level. Her clothes matched her character so well. She definitely look the part. Gu Chan Sung wore suits most of the time but hey you can never go wrong with a suit ;)

The ACTING was excellent and the scenes between the Man-wol and Chan-sang were so enchanting to watch. Each interaction between them was truly captivating. I couldn't get enough of them both on the screen together. I definitely think they had some chemistry.

The OSTs are literally so amazing I have no words. every song was right for the scene it was put in. The music truly transported you into the story as you were watching. Taeyeon's "all about you" and Paul Kim's "so long" are my favorites. Punch's "another day" was very good also. This is the first drama where I actually like all the osts.

OVERALL I give this drama a 8.5/10. I started watching dramas last year but out of the ones I've seen so far this one is one of my favorites.

The worst adaptation I’ve ever seen, but still a fun drama

The title of my review really sums up this show. Like it is SO hard to not try and compare the drama to the original Webtoon.

Going into it I had such high expectations and was hoping that so many of the little details from the Webtoon would be carried over. Boy, how I was wrong!

Once we get past the sadness of it not really staying true to the original story, we can enjoy it for the very light-hearted and fun drama that it is.

Don’t get me wrong, the main couple are bomb, but I really REALLY liked the second couple, Sung-hoon and Yeong-suh. My loves. I was so pleased that Yeong-suh’s character had the same energy as that of the Webtoon, and Sung-hoon also remained the sweet adorable lil man that he is!

I saw someone say something along the lines of ‘Tae-mu’s demeanour changes very much throughout the show,’ and I think this is actually very true. We started off with him being a lot like Park Seo-Joon in ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?’ But unlike that drama, Tae-mu’s character softened a lot and didn’t really remain the same as he did in the beginning. I guess that could just be put down to character development? But if we’re ‘basing’ it off of the Webtoon, I feel like the Tae-mu in that was more or less the same throughout the whole thing.

There were so many things that were missed out that I THOUGHT should have been included, but if we were to talk about that, we’d be here forever so I won’t. The most major bugbear I have is this…

I HATED the ending. My live reaction: What’s the bet amidst all of this scandal business, and not responding to Ha-ri, that Tae-mu’s on the first plane back to Korea - tell me I’m not wrong! We’ve got 5 minutes left and it is literally just going to be a ‘hug and kiss at the airport’ scene. I’m disappointed. Or he just shows up in the taxi she was about to get in to take HER to the airport to go see HIM in New York. God, she literally said ‘hug me’ - this is actually the airport scene just without the airport. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!? I get that it’s called Business ‘Proposal’ but like, you had one job! One job! ? Finish it off with their wedding! Come ON! I’m tearing up literally because it didn’t end how I wanted it to.

Basically I was just very frustrated by that ending, like it just seemed poor.

I also didn’t like the unnecessary angst towards the end with Tae-mu’s Grandpa and Yeong-suh’s dad.

The amount of scenes that were CHANGED got me: How Ha-ri got her eye injury, how Tae-mu realises ‘Geum-hi’ is ‘Ha-ri,’ how Yeong-suh and Sung-hoon met, switching the car accident for Tae-mu rather than Sung-hoon, the prize for the sports competition, again, the ENDING! The list goes on… the emphasis on 'MARRIAGE? - That completely lost course - it was more about Ha-ri and Tae-mu dating than getting married, which might seem more realistic, but that was the major plot point for the original story.

Despite all of that, I still gave it a high rating because as it stands in a drama form, I really enjoyed it and would definitely watch again someday. The music was great, the actors were great, it’s just the adaptation that irked me.

Overrated

Story
Now the story its self is pretty cliche. You know the whole "Let's pretend we're dating but we are not really dating but then oops we catch feelings". Now I give it a ten because I actually love the whole cliche. However the amount of times it has been used it astronomical.

Acting/Cast
Ok, don't get me wrong but for me I think that Bright gets soooo much attention but no one gives a damn to poor Win. He is an angel. However saying that this is Win's first and I think Bright's first BL......They were soooooo awkward with each other. Especially the ending was so awkward.

Music
Personally I loved the songs because of their double meaning but for me it was sometimes hard to listen to singing all the time. I mean I think they are all good singers don't get me wrong but after a while it just loses its spark. The last song was great though.

Overall
It is a good show so hopefully Still2gether will help the anger. Overall still recommend even if I am not happy with the ending.
