Mordomo de 100 Wons (2022)

Well written story with wonderful characters.

I usually don't watch dramas as they air, I prefer to binge them. This one had me hooked, the story builds, you get more invested in the characters as the show progresses, mysteries are revealed and unraveled culminating in a beautiful story of the interconnectedness of humanity.
The show just finished, but to the people who stopped early, stick with it, as you learn more about the characters and their lives, you get more an more invested in the story. Before you know it, you're aching for the next episode.
There are moments that will make you laugh, moments that will make you cry, and moments that will lift your heart. The actors do a fantastic job bringing the characters to life, even the "ghost of the week" pulls you in. Overall it's a great show.
I rated it for low re-watchability because it make me cry so much I'm not emotionally ready to think about watching it again yet.

I love this drama so much

I stared watching this because it's premise reminded me of one of my favourite kdramas ever and because I love putting myself in emotional pain using kdramas. And I'm really really glad I did. From the first episode, I really enjoyed the drama and was immediately invested. I love Dong Joo, probably one of my favourite female leads I've watched. I also loved TaeHee, mostly, and the other main characters. My favourite characters were the uncles, Vincent and the priest. They were so funny and co led the Dong Joo x Tae Hee ship club which I am a member of. The romance, btw,is adorable. The bad beginning (screw her ex by the way, if i could enter dramas I would have gone in and nutted him) and then them getting to know each other better and slowly coming to have feelings for each other. I literally screamed at my screen when he first rejected her, it upset me so much. Wanted to shake him and ask him wtf he was doing. Speaking of romance and rejections, justice for Chung Ha. He was so unnecessarily hostile towards her, she literally did nothing wrong yet he treated her like she ruined his life. I'm glad he became nicer in the end but jeez, he was so harsh.
The plot twist in the drama was crazy. I started to see it coming about an episode or two prior but it still was insane. Did not expect that when we started. I have mixed feelings about him. I liked him in the beginning but the more we learned about the incident and all the events, the less I liked him.
I love Dong Joos friends, they had such a good relationship. We only really saw So ra but they were both great. Dong Joos dad was great, I really liked him. I saw spoilers so I knew what was coming but I still sobbed and I'm definitely judging if you didn't at least get a little choked up. The acting in the drama was really good. I haven't seen the ML actor in anything else before but I have seen the FL. I watched the first few episodes of My Roommate is a Gumiho but I stopped. She was really good in this and her fashion was everything, I aspire to dress like her.
I'm not religious myself but I didn't really mind it. I liked the priest uncle and Dong Joos confessions were always fun so I didn't mind. Usually anything with excessive amounts of religious anything make me uncomfortable but this didn't focus too much on it so I think even if you are atheist or believe in a religion other than Buddhism and Catholicism, you will likely still enjoy it.
Over all I really love this drama and the only thing I'm upset about in the long run is the fact that they didn't kiss more than once. I was so happy when they kissed and I love them together so I was waiting and waiting but no :\. Anyway, please watch this if the concept intrigues you even a little, it's really good

Twenty One or Twenty Five

Fantasy, romance and Hye Ri, of course I was in. The first episodes I felt that we concentrated too much on personal matters, not much on fantasy part. Was the fantasy here to just serve the romance. Last episode was complete opposite, we had the why of the fantasy part, and man, that was really something in dramaland, detailed, explained and logical, that changed from what I had lacked in Bulgasal for example (no I didn't forgive you yet, writers), I found myself wanting more cheesiness months later, I know, and the final episode would have been perfect.
Let's talk about some actors, I've seen Seo Hae An in An another drama and It was like he was another person, he mastered his role very well, the accent, the acting, chapeau bas !
Aaah and Tae Hee's uncle oh my god, I've seen him a long time ago, in a drama that I hated, Que Sera Sera, more than a decade later, I laughed so much with this role, he was not the poor SML anymore, he and Dong Joo's uncle, were almost my favourite pairing of the show. I let it go, but I wasn't happy with Chung Ha's closure, imagine, after what happened to Dong Joo in the last episode, she would have broke up with Tae Hee, I'm sorry, I can understand, but Tae Hee was Chung Ha's whole world, I just imagine how it was painful being left after 10 years of happiness, I just think he was so damaged, but it must have been very tough for her.
The journey of watching this drama, wasn't exceptional but it has been fun and a lot of tears on the finale.

Enjoyable but with questionable plot-developments

First of all, i had very low expectations before watching this drama. That's where it surprised me. I especially enjoyed the middle of the Drama (Ep. 4-10). I actually thought this drama would turn out to be not my taste or to be bad. But i found myself really invested. At the beginning I thought of it as a feel-good Drama with some comedic elements, which i liked. It still had its meaningful moments. It's great to watch as an in-between Drama or if you're bored.

What i liked:
- Relationship development between the two leads-> I didn't mind the ex coming back because it was obvious that he already liked dong joo. It added a bit of drama to their romance and i was in the mood for it. I liked the romance in this drama up until ep 11. After that, i was somewhat bored (or it's more like that other plotlines bothered me, causing a loss of interest)
-Dong Joo's Father
-That the Drama had some Comedy (but where is the comedy as the episodes passed?)
- Yoo So Ra and Kim Il Sub

Where it went wrong:
- It felt like the tone of the drama changed with the passing of the episodes. I don't know why and it's hard to pinpoint, but it felt different. The following points could have played a part in this change
-Sometimes i did not understand the maleleads choices (Everyone's human, i can see past that)
-Why turn a friend into a bad guy and an enemy? I HATE this trope. Why would someone decide to write this? Make it make sense. If you do write this, please write it properly. Yes, i was surprised but to write a friend-betrayal, just to shock the viewer is not writing at its best. Yes i do sometimes like unnecessary drama in a Kdrama but not this type. It's a matter of taste and this development somehow gives me trust issues.
- Just introducing persons to let them die. The last deaths felt highly fabricated and they left me feeling nothing. Don't overdo it. I did not mind it at the beginning and middle of the drama. But everything felt wrong towards the end.
- The Father's death? NONSENSE. Nonsense if you ask me. Why kill him off? And so late. They wrapped up his death in only one episode. It's still the mainleads father after all, why brush it off so fast? The Writer probably wanted a meaningful death to be Dong Joos last person, but it still rubbed me the wrong way. Even the way he died...

After all these negative points why would i still give it 6.5 Stars (in my rating system = good)? I still enjoyed it the majority of the time and since i had low expectations i was positively surprised. I liked the tone of the drama (even though not towards the end). I had a good time. Can you compare it to the other dramas i watched lately (like D.P)? Of course not.
Not a bad drama. But i can understand if others rate this drama lower than me. It's always a matter of taste. I acknowledge the negative aspects and still enjoyed it more than i thought i would.

Feel good drama

One of the underrated drama that I watched, I don't know why is everyone not talk abou this drama qhen in fact it has the most heartwarming one. Yes I admit the reason why I didn't watched it before because its trailer didn't capture my attention to watched it because its too serious for me. Yes it is very serious but you will be attracted by its story.
If you hate Lee Jun Young in Brave Citizen and Impossible Heir you will loved him here. I've loved Hyeri as an comedian actess but she's more serious here but there is also some comedic act.
I watched it very timely during Holy Week there are lots of lessons and realizationp. Dong Joo has the power to see and grant the last wish of dead people before they crossed through eternal life. She was task with 21 spirits never wound have thought that her last spirit is someone that is close in her heart. Tae Hee never leaves her to guide her and be strong for her.
Very good drama you will learn so much about forgiveness. There are lots of realizations too.

I can't judge ..I just know I have my favorite actress and other very talented actors here. Also the story plot was good. I loved it overall.
Just so you know, it has a major plot twist in the middle, if you're smart enough you can guess it beforehand. Hats off to The one who carried out the twist. A great actor really. Also , all the cases the fl encountered with were unique but relatable. I don't have anything to complain so I just gave 10/10 to everything hehe.
oh yeah.. I am slightly disappointed cause there were only 1 or 2 kiss scenes. We could've gotten more even if they were small sweet pecks u know, how they do in a healthy relationship. Idk, maybe it's me to think like that.

Not Good Enough

Korean Drama " May I Help You " is a fantasy romantic comedy.

The story has some lightness to it, even though it handles more sensitive matters as well as some emotional cases. Unfortunately, the pacing of the story is all over the place, failing to introduce properly the story in the first episodes and then getting slower and slower towards the ending.

In addition, the main plot was boring. The love story was predictable and the chemistry just okay, which didn't aid to the romance at all. The friendship was nice though.

Finally, the performances were all enjoyable and decent from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, two out of ten.

It the perfect example of pathetic ML

Honestly, the drama started with a good note and story was also interesting until we find out about the ex of ML. Lol, he left her ex just because his brother died. What the hell is this, you were the one who asked your brother to bring the ring not her. So why you should leave her and don't tell he. He left her and started his pathetic life without caring about anyone else. and when he get to know about the SML that he is killer he wanted to get him all the punishment. So what should be your punishment for leaving your gf without any reason. I really don't like the plot twist at the end. Either they should have portrayed the SML as a bad guy from the start or shouldn't have turned him to an evil guy in one go.
The ML lack humanity he only think about himself. I also don't like FL gesture when the SML asked for forgiveness for his brother act and she turned a blind eye like he had murdered the ML little brother.
I think the writer was drunk when writing last episodes. She didn't realized what she wrote in the end.

unnecessary things added just for shock value + MAJOR SPOILERS

I will preface this by saying this is my first time writing a review.

I just had to write because of how upsetting/disappointing this drama was. The concept of the storyline was quite interesting, but as the story progressed, I felt it just headed downwards. Changing a perfectly good, likable character to being the true evil culprit was just plain stupid. I liked the idea of him feeling guilty because he chose to save his older brother versus the male lead's younger brother. Still, of course, the writers decided to go in a completely different way to add shock value which honestly made the drama not as good.

Can't also forget the MAJOR SPOILER

The female lead's dad dying at the end and him being the last ghost she can see made me so infuriated; adding unnecessary misery that doesn't add to the storyline.

One last thing I didn't understand is why having a character that's supposedly an important friend of the female lead is practically never even there. Like, what's the point of even having her if she's never there? I genuinely don't understand what the writers of this series were trying to do. Shock value or plot twists sometimes don't add anything to the story if they can't be executed correctly!

Great Series and Storyline

The plot kinda reminded me of Hotel del Luna. But can I just say that... The chemistry is insane!

It's also amazing how all the people Dong Joo helped is somehow related to her birth story. I love how they tied it all up creatively in the end. It's actually a surprising and genius move! So heartwarming!

If you guys thought all the episodes are tearjerkers, the last one will definitely break your heart so bad. Though, I did kinda forsee it, it was still so painful to watch. The actors did such a great job at portraying the characters that they were able to built viewer attachment.

I feel that the only thing the story felt short on, especially around the ending, is the romance aspect. Tae Hee and Dong Joo's ending could've been written and portrayed so much better after all the build up they did. Don't get me wrong, I love how mature their relationship is and how they are each others rock; as seen when both of them encountered very difficult moments in their lives. I love how their presence is silent and yet very unwavering. But towards the end, I just truly wished they showed more scenes of the two of them being together more (?), whether it be just silently bonding or what. I just feel robbed of that moment wherein it's just them. But that's just me.

The murder mystery part was also humanely written. The choices Hae Ahn did was always because he wanted a good life, a life far from his childhood. Sadly, he was too blinded by it that it changed him. But I'm glad he showed remorse towards the end and did the right thing.

Lastly, can we give props to Vincent and Uncle Priest. Their interactions and screentime were always pleasurable to watch and also helped carry the show. They're humorous and yet also full of love. Ahhh~ such amazing people to have in one's life.
