plucking flower petals off do you love me or love me not

this is such a disappointment for me. i was rooting for the story. i was rooting for female lead. throw all common sense and logic out of the window because this drama will drive you to drink.

i almost drank, but god is this a very very slow romantic burn. i want to punch them all in the faces. how can a genius be so dumb and like just the side characters ONE IN PARTICULAR keeps causing all the issues and you're like waiting for her to die already. she is still alive and not miserable

I WOULD RECOMMEND THE FIRST TWELVE EPISODES!!! The beginning is the closest I've seen to the General's Wife drama with such a cute comedy storyline with some seriousness thrown in. It's fine the ML is ugly. His ugly hair is fine. The FL is so precocious and cute and her family is adorable. Her cute lil feminist speeches. I was so down for everything. Their dynamic is like Geum Jan Di and Jun Pyo. I was so invested and excited.

AND THEN IT JUST GOES TO NOTHING. the sideplots are just come crashing together and there are like plucking flower petals off do you love me or love me not. Initially it works and it's nice. But then it just get's semi-violent at times and all logic just wth is going on.

I'm so angry I wasted time watching this. Upto 14th episodes the romance is pretty minimal. Just watch the one kiss scene on youtube. You'll get your fix. I'M SO MAD. THIS WAS SO GENUINELY INTERESTING AND EXCITING AND I WAS HOPING FOR A HIDDEN GEM. I WAS ROOTING FOR HER. AND THEN I THREW HER OFF A CLIFF AND I'M SO HAPPY I DID.

All in all it's not that bad!

I'm writing this during ep 7 and so far I really like it. I'll be honest I really don't like the character of Han Dal Shik but I'm pretty sure that is not just me about that... It's just... Awful in every aspect. But, other than that I find this show really funny but also deep in some aspects and I actually love the acting especially for the protagonists. So. So far so good I think!
I'm really sympathizing with saetbyul character, I really really feel her, she's like the strongest girl ever I love her. And HIM, what a naive ingenuous good man he is, i really feel like he's the one who needs to be protected from a rough world that loves to take advantage of him poor boy. I hope he'll wake up soon and be repayed for his goodness and I hope Saetbyul will be able to have a good life later in the show

so many issues of consent going on here

*~* Completion Update *~*

Okay, I finished it. And I stopped hating it maybe at about the 7th episode mark? But I still don't love it, through no fault of the actors. I just don't like horny ghost girl for too much of the drama. Who in their right mind thinks they're not reincarnating because they've never had sex? That's absurd and just, no, on so many levels. And I hated the sous-chef, Rain. Oh my gosh, how can one man be that horrible and chauvinistic?! It was fun to see Suam in this drama since I couldn't stand him in "Switch On" but thought his acting was way better here. So there were some pluses. It helped once there were some confessions that happened and there were some consequences that happened. Ghost Girl toned it down a bit once she actually fell in love with Artit, and ironically, that tamed her behavior a little bit. Go figure. So the changes in some destructive behavioral patterns and actual consequences helped a lot which is why my rating went up. However, the story will always be too similar to "Let's Fight, Ghost" and like I said below, "Let's Fight, Ghost" is superior in every way.

*~* Original Review *~*

Umm, so many issues with this drama. Just the very concept of this drama has so many problems concerning consent. Now, I fall in the middle where consent in dramas is concerned. I usually have no issues with stolen kisses. Probably because a neighbor boy stole my first kiss when we were both 9, so yeah, it happens. BUT, I have issues with a ghost possessing an UNWILLING host to use that host for sex. That's a big red flag in my book. This ghost also has no respect for personal space or someone telling her NO when she gets grabby. I just almost can't. The only reason I'm continuing to watch is because I actually like the Jiw, the human girl. At least, I did, up until the end of episode 7 when she essentially gives horny ghost girl permission to possess her for the whole sex thing. I'm not holding out a whole lot of hope that this drama is going to improve much. I will finish it because I must know how it ends and how much or little I should hate it.

But take my advice. Watch "Let's Fight, Ghost," instead. All Jeen does is try to steal a couple of kisses from Off, that's really the only serious question of consent in the whole drama where the leads are concerned. And it's stinking cute. Naturally, because the ML is SaintSup and he's AWESOME. "Oh My Ghost" is torture in comparison.

Alright. I think for this drama i have to jump directly to the point. "NOT MY CUP OF TEA" . The drama itself is a lighthearted and bubbly adaption as compared to all the meteor showers.The first two episodes were intriguing but i was bored out of my mind through the rest. I haven't been much into the drama only the first six episodes but i can say that there is no such background story. Not payed much heed to F4's family struggle.

The acting at some point was a bit lousy?For me Rui hanazawa's character did not get much justice, the chemistry didn't work well for me. The rest of the cast for me did an okay job not much to applaud but not as bizarre either. Although you can clearly see that there's quiet some money spent on the shooting. Cinematography was nice.

HOWEVER i like the fact that this adaption did not follow up to heavy bullying and potential rape scenes. If your'e more into soft slice of life romantic comedies then the drama is for you.

I am just in so love with this drama . Like seriously I can't get over it . Ji Chang Wook had a great comeback . I am waiting for the upcoming episodes like crazy. Loved it .....???????????????? This drama has a really nice and unique plot . This revolves around science and technology's impact on relationships and how complicated they can get . Each and every part of this drama is fantastic . Hoping that I will see more interesting ups and downs in this with a nice ending. And one of the most important thing that I liked in this is the chemistry between different people and sometimes the situation really gets out of control which makes us giiggle . The thing I am looking forward is how they are going to control their feelings and emotions with constantly maintaining their body temperature . I seriously don't know how hilarious it is going to be.

Not All Females are Morons. This Character was AWFUL!

Even though this was only 15 episodes long, I had to drop it after only 3. The FL character was absolutely cringe-worthy. This was an embarrassment to female characters and especially those in a lead role, and I felt this made it even more egregious. Women can be silly and flighty as a part of the persona they are playing, but this one was just ridiculous. I couldn't tell whether that is the way the character is written, or if this actress just cannot act. In fact, I was so put off by her performance I couldn't even watch any of the other actors to see if they could redeem this story.

Writers and Directors need to step up and be more responsible, respectful, and aware. This stereotype is not a good look for women. Viewers are looking for characters they can identify with, like, and be interested in. Stories of development and growth in a character are welcome - but this one is a really poor example of the portrayal of a female (especially a lead role).

I need to go back and look at who the writer & director are, review other works by them, and possibly never watch anything they produce again.

Fantastic duo, fantastic show ever

wonder why there isn't any comments for this incredible show. As a fan of Korean 80,90,00,10s songs. This show is such a fun, and touching music shows ever.
Just finished watch ep 4-6 in a row.As for the ep3&4 maybe because i'm not a fan of exo, so it just bland for me. Although other singers are so good, but exo just drop the quality. It will the best if without idols.

The ep 5 & 6 is the best of the best.
The singers, the fantastic duos, the songs and the collaboration.
These episodes really made me cried a lot. It is so touching, funny, and tell a lot of story. Its gonna be one of my fav eps.
If you know a lot of korean old songs, you are gonna loved it for sure.

No Chemistry

The series isn't necessarily bad (based on the four episodes seen) and the actors are actually pretty good. But it's just lacking chemistry in all sorts of ways and it's hard to pinpoint why. The first episode is nothing like the second episode forward as it takes a leap from somber to an infusion of comedy. I was pretty excited that it had a relatively similar feel to the Fiery Priest in the beginning but it was short-lived. The ML/FL characters were made to be too extreme in personalities from the start and then shifted out of character very quickly and continually, which made what would have given them their individual charm a blur instead. The supporting actors were even more extreme with their personalities/quirks and it took too much realism out of what is actually quite a decent plot.

As some minor examples, the ML is supposed to be a badass high up on the chain in the Italian mafia. Yet when he arrive in Korea, he's easily drugged by a drink offered by a cab driver and then mugged? I mean, even normal tourists with any common sense would have known to not get into a random black car at the airport when the driver is being overly pushy about using their services. As for the FL, while the actress did the best she could with what she was dealt, the character was spicy but didn't make much sense. They should have highlighted more on the reasoning behind why she was working against her father before she suddenly decided to have a change of heart. The tiny explanation of their relationship right before a major event really didn't do much. Then there are the tenants living/working at the building who are supposed to be regular folk but their characters leans more towards a circus-asylum feel. The ML's interaction with them is equally awkward.

Should reiterate that the series isn't necessarily bad but unfortunately dropping the series because I've already seen how well it can be done with the Fiery Priest.

This was an enjoyable way to spend two hours with a cliche, but well executed storyline.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, it had me feeling all kinds of emotions, from laughter to sadness and all in between.
It's easy to watch, the characters are quite organic and there is chemistry between Lee Seo Won and Han Seungyeon.
I also liked how even played by Lee Seo Won, both Dong Joon and Sul Woo are portrayed to be two different people and it's done well to me.
Seungyeon's character was cute and peppy despite her terminal illness, which was probably the weak part for me, though I felt in the same breath, it made her more realistic, and taking her diagnosis in her stride.
Although it was cringy at points, I expected this and thus really had a good time getting into this story.
I would definitely rewatch again.
8/10.

Not my CUp of tea

I wanted to watch something romantic and remembered how much I loved watching love O2O when I got introduced to a whole new world of dramas and started watching this. though the genre didn't mention romance I expected something mild however that wasn't the case.
Thought dramas are only about romance but didn't expect to encounter something without any romance. I would've considered continuing watching it but can't do it in my current mood.
It has a good theme and all but I personally don't like that gaming stuff. knowing that I won't get what I expected I can't continue it.
so I decided to drop it.

Nothing to watch here

I'm not bothered by the cliche story, nor by the arrogant ML - the actor is very good in his part - , im bothered by the totally mediocre FL and her inexistent acting skills. There's no chemistry between the leads and there is no way the director can convince me that a rich handsome CEO would fall hard, at first sight, for the boring FL. Maybe it so happened just because the ML happened to see the FL naked? Isnt this bad taste? Are we talking puberty?
Dropped.

Hmmmm, difficult...

I wonder how the relationship between the two main characters will develop. I feel absolutely no vibe. The acting is so-so. I'll be honest, since both mainactors have some experience, I was expecting a bit more. Especially Kimmon is not a newbie here. He has been in much better productions in the past, in my opinion. But I don't want to be too harsh. I watched the 2nd episode and will continue to give it a chance. We'll see how the whole thing develops.

But please, what the hell is wrong with the subtitles? There's no excuse for that. This should be revised urgently, as soon as possible.
