*Story*
The Story overall had an interesting Concept.
I mostly started watching this Drama, because of the "book aspect" of it. I want to be a Novelist when I'm older so I think that's the reason I started watching it.
Let me just say this. I think this drama really had potential. But the story just wasn't that great. The concept of it is good though and I would definitely give it another shot of the story was just a bit more enjoyable ;)
I don't know about you, but I don't like it when the main male lead is a Playboy. But that's just my opinion. I didn't finish this, but since it's based on a shoujo manga. They definitely got together in the end.

I only watched 2 episodes. I felt like the story was missing something. It's like I watched an episode, but just felt kinda empty. Like there was nothing drawing me towards the story. I think if you watch the first 1 or 2 episodes and it still doesn't really draw you in. Than it's not worth watching.

*Acting*
I thought the acting was ok. But it was nothing amazing.

*Music*
I think that the music really has an effect on the vibe of the drama. So I liked that they used "clair de lune" and other classical piano pieces. Some how the music really fit the theme of the drama. So I did like the classical music they used, but the rest was average

*Rewatch Value*
I personally dropped this title and even if I finished it, I wouldn't rewatch it again.

Interesting message but total disaster of execution

I think the basic message is interesting. It’s trying to show case the unbalanced opportunity that’s been given to poor and wealthy people. How the rich become richer and the poor have to struggle much more to get the same opportunity. Unfortunately there are nothing else substantial about the story. It doesn’t have substance or depth that it feels like it just go around in circle.

I only managed to hang on until episode 4, and that already spend mostly fast forwarding. It’s such a shame that the message their trying to convey cannot get across.

I think the casts are not good enough. I don’t like the Female Lead, her acting doesn’t have the charm needed for the story. The Male Lead is okay, but I think the character is not written well. It’s such a shame they didn’t use Namgoong Min better, because out of all the character, he acted it out the best. There are some layer that he portrays through his acting that I want to know more.

I don’t remember much else from watching 4 episodes.

good actors but terrible plot

what is this plot about again? there is barely anything going on, what im saying the plot is not interesting at all
and i dont feel like forcing myself to watch when im bored asf, this has nothing to do with the actors as they look handsome and i think there is chemistry, the thing is the main thing about a show is the plot so unfortunately even those attractive actors coudnt keep me watching this
this show remind me a bit of tale of 1000 stars (about the place, environment), but 1000 stars is an amazing show that have an actual good plot (someone getting a chance to live again, secrets revealed etc ) ,while this one doesnt have anything going on it doesnt look interesting at all so it just looked like a weak remake of 1000 stars
i did notice this about gmmtv, they give us few good gems (good shows ,good plot) while others are all about romance ,dragging too much and barely any plot is going on
good some people love it, it work out for them, i just dont feel interested when there is no story and nothing is going on, they fill the eps with scenes that have barely anything going on in them

Each episode was like, pulling teeth to watch!

I originally started watching this drama because I really like Lee Dong Wok and I have watched a bunch of his dramas and generally I enjoy them. I also saw that they were going to make multiple seasons of the drama so I figured that it must be good to warrant it being renewed so much. Man this was not for me I don’t know what I hated the most. I didn’t feel the chemistry between either the lead characters and the show didn’t really give me a reason to be invested into this whole mystery that they’re trying to solve on this island. The only redeeming quality that I enjoyed was the villain of the show and I don’t know if that’s supposed to be the case I had to drop it.

Dropped after 3 Episodes

I wanted to enjoy this series, I really did. But I just couldn't go on after watching the first 3 episodes. The storyline is all over the place, the characters are barely believable and the one established couple that existed had so little chemistry that I didn't give a hoot when they broke up. It's also pretty obvious who they are trying to pair up with who and I am seriously unsure why a story like this even needs couples?!? I mean, the story itself is about the school, those students and hidden secrets - adding unnecessary love stories would just muddle the water.

Glad when others enjoy the series, it's just not for me.

Most frustrating thing ever

This frustrated me so much from episode 2 until 3 I just couldn’t carry on anymore.
The characters are stupid and impulsive people, the FL (I think) just sits on the floor while the zombies eat everyone I would’ve ran for my life, then her friend got bit but you still want to hug her and not let her go wtf is wrong with you yeah she’s your best friend but think about your life she’s gone but your not !!
And yeah some people might think I probably would’ve done the same as her in that situation but like I think it’s just common sense to run, it’s a common fight or flight situation and tbh I know for a fact both of us would have never been able to fight so why stay there, if that guy never saved her she would’ve been a zombie long ago.
Then the girl who infected the other guy in the broadcasting room, most stupid and impulsive move ever like no one likes you and doing that just made them hate you 10x more, and I think if you wanted to survive you would need more people and like if you really wanted to do a selfish b**ch move, I would have sacrificed him when my life was actually in danger. BUT WAIT IT THEN GETS WORSE the girl who saw what she did said nothing, wtf is going on in your mind she could have prevented that but no she kept her little mouth shut, then the girl who did it just cries and yells why everyone is targeting her like are you stupid you basically just killed someone, is absolutely mental I wanted to punch them both.
I wanted to carry it on but from the other reviews I’ve read there is absolute no character development.

I watched due to so many high praises but this wasn't for me

There are a couple of reviewers who dropped this at episode 6 which, blessedly, is also the point where I gave up on this mess of a drama. In my layman's opinion, a drama needs a primary focus and in this case, the interactions between the main leads should have been the pivot around which the plot revolved except it wasn't done well. Mostly, the FL gave off antagonistic vibes whenever she was with the ML. So, in a drama about wolves, hidden identities, and mysteries to solve, I need the script to show me a gradual and optimistic buildup of the lead relationship, however, this didn't materialize and I got increasingly annoyed at the slapstick comedy slash melodrama.

I don't think the actors are to blame rather it was the script that gave nothing to work with.

"venduto" come trilogia

legata alle serie Reply 1988 e Replay 1994 ... (quest'ultima non l'ho vista, ma nemmeno la cerco, vista l'esperienza pessima con questo filmaccio orribile), mi sono accanita a provare a guardarlo, oltretutto gronda giudizi entusiasti e ha un rate alto ma ...
Delusione cocente!
Storia e personaggi urlati e inconsistenti ... non fanno né ridere, né piangere ... fanno solo incavolare ... sono caricature e la trama non ha niente da dire, a meno che qualcuno si immedesimi nel trash degli anni 90.
Avendo precedentemente visto Reply 1988, che faccio fatica a quotare perché è un piccolo gioiello e il voto 10 non è sufficiente, qui il voto è ZERO ... ma posso solo mettere 1 per abbassare la media, assurdamente alta.
E' veramente una perdita di tempo, gli stessi attori che recitavano nel 1988 (marito e moglie) qui non hanno nulla da dire, sceneggiatura piatta da encefalogramma prossimo allo Shutdown.

Esse dorama parece a memória de um pesadelo longo para mim, não lembro de nada na história e só sei que eram tantas coisas acontecendo ao mesmo tempo e nada fazia sentido, o único acerto nesse dorama foi o elenco. As vezes não vale a pena tentar assistir esses doramas famosos e antigos que marcaram a dramaland, essa desculpa de ser um dorama mais antigo e ter algumas coisas polêmicas que eram consideradas normais não cola, geralmente isso só é uma desculpa para passar pano por cima de coisas tóxicas ou só muito ruins mesmo. Infelizmente nem o elenco salvou esse roteiro caótico.

Boring

I liked the starting ,but the way story was progressed it was boring .
I had high expectations with the drama because after reading synopsis it sounds interesting. But since start it was boring .
i bear it till 6 episode but nothing interesting vome at the way so decided to drop it .
Acting was good .
as said in synopsis that he was looking for medicine which was not exist in the era he was living so he went back to the past wher he would get the medicine and from there the story had started . Till 6th episode he was searching the medicine and nothing good in those episodes.
I will not recommend it.

Se eu pudesse separar o primeiro episódio de todo o resto minha nota seria 9/10, mas isso não é possível. A apresentação de toda a trama no primeiro episódio foi sensacional, me passou muita confiança de que seria um drama de ótima qualidade, mas a cada episódio que passava essa ideia inicial se distanciava e me decepcionava mais e mais, chega um ponto onde eles ficam nessa briga entre jovens e adultos e fantasiam e romantizam muitas coisas, além de tentar passar mensagens emocionantes um pouco perigosas sobre como é a real mudança da vida adulta, e mesmo não tendo atingido essa fase ainda foi difícil não notar. Tinham uma história inicial boa mas se perderam no roteiro.

ML and FL are extremely annoying. Show meant for teenagers

The TV show in question is not worth your time, as it has several issues that make it quite frustrating to watch. Firstly, the acting is extremely annoying and unconvincing, which can be quite jarring for anyone who is used to watching high-quality performances. Additionally, the script is poorly written, with a storyline that is both predictable and boring. It almost seems as if the show was produced with teenagers in mind, as the level of maturity exhibited by the characters and their interactions is quite low.

Furthermore, the cast of the show is quite disappointing, with no stand-out performances or chemistry between the actors. This lack of chemistry makes it difficult to connect with the characters or become invested in their storylines. The sound effects used in the show are also quite distracting and can be quite grating on the nerves after a while.

I recognized the ML who played the emperor with Rosy Zhao in “oh my emperor” drama. It was nice, at first, to see him playing a more vivacious and lively character, until he became a spoiled brat. She was no better and her character was not at all convincing.

Overall, I would not recommend this show to anyone looking for a well-written and engaging drama. It is simply not worth your time, and you will likely end up feeling quite frustrated and disappointed after watching just a few episodes. Save your time and find something more worthwhile to watch.

KLİŞE, CRİNGE, PROBLEMATİK.

"enemies to lovers" kurguları problematikliğe oldukça elverişlidir zaten ve bu dizi de oldukça problematik. bolca şiddet, taciz, aşağılama, zorbalık içeriyor... bunlar romantize edilebilecek şeyler değil. lise yıllarımı bana zehir eden fobik zorbaları kimse bana sempatik hale getiremez. arkamdan konuşan, benimle alay eden insanlar bunlar; onlar yüzünden soyunma odasına giremezdim ben; bir de dizilerde bu tarz insan müsveddelerinin ne kadar "iyi kalpli(!)" olduklarını mı izleyeceğim. beş bölüm izlemeye bile zor katlandım.
izlemeyin izletmeyin.

Too much manipulation

I wanted something cute and got something abusive. The FL starts off by stalking the male lead in an attempt to force him to let her touch him. It's just plain sexual harassment. She then blackmails him into dating her by withholding an item that's precious to him. Their dates consist of her "treating" his OCD against his will. She literally locks him in a room to get him to do what she wants. When he panics and touches her, rather than apologize for causing him an anxiety attack, she laughs in his face. I have no idea how this is romantic. FL shows no concern for his happiness or the reality of his condition. It would be sweet if she wanted to help him with his disorder so that he could live a happier, more fulfilling life. But no, she just wants to use his body to fulfill her own needs.
