Loved this drama, despite the very mixed opinions and many warnings from friends to stay away. I guess my love for medical dramas took the better of me and boy oh boy am I glad I did not listen and give up on this show.
I understand that this drama is not mainstream and there is enough things which one could find confusing or irritating but to me, getting past that and focusing on the positives, I did.
The medical and surgeries bit was very well done, the backstories of each character were interesting and the unwavering love between the leads carried the drama.
Looking at popular opinions, I know this drama is not supposed to be a drama one will like, but I loved it and when something appeals to your heart, you do not need to have a reason.

Such a letdown at the end....

I read all the reviews that said this was good until episode 17, well, it was correct !!

While the story was "ok", I mean nothing really spectacular... the actors and their chemistry/ dynamics really carried this drama.
I love everything "Food" related and this in parts did not disappoint, but to be honest, this whole drama could have been shot in 12 episodes. Many episodes dragged and I had to fight not to fast forward through it.
You get good doses of noble idiocy which completely ruins the final episodes. Instead of feeling good, smile and enjoy you get annoyed, sad and confused... not the best of feelings when watching something that was so quirky in the beginning.
Can't give this more than 7 (although it really is a 6)

Not bad but I expected better

Sweet home was a lot more than I expected, and a lot less at the same time!

I was expecting this to be a character based drama and I got a lot more action than I was expecting, and I loved it! Having said that, there were a lot of things they rushed, forgot or just decided to not talk about.
The story, while a 10/10 is nothing new, good Vs Evil, survival horror... we've seen this before. Human behavior in a fight-or-flight situation, how malicious people can be to survive = nothing new there. Cliffhangers at the end of episodes weren't even that angsty, but there is something about this drama that draws you in, gets you to want to watch the next episode!

I hope they can maintain this level for the second season

Not a bad drama

I'm glad I did not let the negative reviewed sway me into giving this drama a pass.
It's a good time, even without alcohol (joking).

The story was ok, leads also, and it's an easy watch without too much angst because even if some cliffhangers are nicely done, you can guess not much will really happen and no one is in real danger.
The romance was ok and it was all due to the ML and FL chemistry.

Thinking back, I think the story was told wrong, the back and forth in time was not made at the right time (or in the right episodes) so you start to understand the vision a bit later (I would have liked them to set up the premise and everything right from episode 1). Spend more time in Joseon instead of filling with some below-average side plots that were useless if I'm honest.

Still a good watch, but no rewatch value

This could have been so much better.... but a letdown in the end

I really liked the synopsis on Netflix and decided to give it a go. Didn't ready anything about the drama beforehand, no reviews, no comments... took a dive right in.
I really enjoyed myself, this is a good time drama about love, friendship, the importance of family and that sometimes the good guys win.
OK, I concede that there isn't really a lot of drama here, no real angst, people stay in their lane and you can feel nothing bad or too dangerous is going to happen, in other words, a relaxed and good time.

Spoiled by a rushed ending that wasn't all that satisfying (to me anyways). When I invest 16 full hours into a drama, I don't want anything left to chance, I want my stories (main and side) wrapped up (positive or negative). Is that really too much to ask? I'm not asking for pink bow-tied rainbow endings, but a thorough last episode. This Drama did not give us that, leaving me hungry for more.
As a result, I deducted a full point.

Bad on all fronts

First, the story isn't for everyone. I did not like the underage aspect of it and my distaste started there.
But this is a Rescue+revenge movie so let's see how it plays out right?
Wrong. Everything is made to "look" real but it isn't, overacted, exaggerated, forced and lame combat scenes. Very disappointing action (and acting).
Most of all, she didn't even beat the girls who started it all.
I did not think I would ever find a Korean piece (Movie or Drama) that could be worse than Forecast love and weather, well look no further: This is my new low and I was generous giving it a 2.
While I absolutely LOVED the short series "Little Girl K", I thought this would be somewhat similar: I was wrong.

This could have been oh so much better

By now, we've seen so many FBI/CIA/NIS/Spy/Ghost movies and series that it's really hard to take this Drama seriously.

They completely missed the mark here. It could have been so great if Everyone was completely oblivious that K was an agent (a ghost at that) and we (the viewers) were the only ones in-on-it... but no... Everyone and their mother in this drama knows NIS agents, ghost agents that are supposed to be "Secret" agents.

If this is fake then it's hard to sit through and believe the rest. The beginning had something, but it's all downhill from there and the ending isn't great either.

I should have dropped this by the middle (ep 7~8 ish) but like a fool I stuck to it only to be disappointed and regret having pushed through to the end. Oh well, win some and lose some.

Nice, easy to watch and entertaining

OK, so I really put off watching this drama based on the hot & cold reviews here and I am glad I did watch it.
I don't get the hate towards this Drama, especially those saying some episodes are worthless (especially 14, 15 and 16).
Anyone who has watched more than 5 dramas could tell what they were doing and where this was going to go... They need to create drama, they need some redeeming arcs, they need some noble idiocy (I abhor it, but it's fairly common in dramaland).

I loved the chemistry between the leads and the cleaning team, they all worked well together. Made me laugh, cringe and even brought me to the verge of tears. Some moments I will rewatch as they cracked me up.

A short show to binge watch

You know the term "easy to watch", well it applies to this drama. Nothing really angsty happens and the events are so purposefully over-exagerated that you don't take them seriously. I also liked the 10 episodes format, thankfully they didn't drag the scenes too long.
Netflix & Chill, follow our characters in their (kinda) daily lives in the fashion industry. I think the acting was good and they portrayed what we believed would happen behind the scenes quite well.

Not really my type of drama but I wanted something light, fun and easy to watch so I can relax by only using half of my brain. That's the show for it.

Would I rewatch it? Not in a million years, but it's good for a first, easy watch.

My first Family Drama .... and it did not disappoint

Suggested on Netflix and I have to admit, I dove into this drama without really any research and was hooked after episode 1.

I then realised there were 52 episodes!!! I almost gave up right then and there but finally decided to stick to it. (I usually never started a Drama that had over 16 episodes until COVID hit and I had more time).

One more Chaebol drama, but this world I could really relate to, they took their time and developed it well. With 52 episodes, there were many scenes that dragged on and I'm sure they could have wrapped it up in 45 episodes easily.

I think every character got the ending they deserved, however I am sure that after 52 episodes some could have been wrapped-up better, I felt they just crammed everything in the last episode.

All in all, It was certainly a new experience, but one I am willing to try again.
