When I first watched this series, I enjoyed it much better compared to the second time seeing it. I still like the show but it felt like a drag to watch after a while. I loved the FMC in this story. She's so upfront about her feelings and seeing how she wasn't written as the typical damsel in distress made the show much more easier to watch. I just wish that she ended up with a different guy. At times the constant hot and cold behavior turned me off from Jin-Heon.

Don't even get me started with the ex girlfriend and her doctor. I did like Henry but I didn't like the way Hee-Jin treated him at times. You can tell Hee-Jin is using him to get over Jin-Heon. Other than that, it's a funny show at times. The beginning episodes were more entertaining to me compared to the ending. This is probably going to be my last time watching this show.

My first review of 2025! I never pictured myself watching a historical Cdrama since these type of shows tend to have a lot of episodes. But despite that, I was surprised on how much I enjoyed this series. Even though it did started to drag a bit towards the ending of the show, I loved how fast paced and quick the plots were introduced and resolved. I love all the drama and scheming and I loved the female lead in this.

Even though there's comments on her being a bit Mary Sue ish, I love how fierce and determined she was when it came to accomplishing her goals. It made the show much more enjoyable to watch because I don't think I will stick around this long if she was passive and crying every episode. The romance in this series don't really hit for me like I wanted it to. I originally wanted Yingluo with Fuheng but why did Fuheng gave up on her so easily?? I don't like Yingluo with the Emperor... I never got the vibe that Yingluo truly loved the Emperor and I still hold some resentment on the way he treated the original Empress.

Overall, the drama is what kept me hooked but I think the first half of the series was stronger. After the Empress died, the show was still good but I felt like certain plots were becoming too repetitive and I felt like every new girl character that was introduced was just there for the sake of hating on Yingluo. This is a show that I enjoyed quite a lot but I don't see myself rewatching the series. The episode count is a bit too much for me. Maybe in the future, I'll watch the short sequel series on Netflix. Maybe...

I've only watched two other dramas with Jang Nara but I must say that Ma Jin-Joo is probably my favorite character she ever played. Anyway, this show was amazing from the beginning to the end. I was a mix of emotions while watching this. The acting was so amazing that even the funny and crying scenes were well done.

The relationship between the two main leads was really special and even though I kinda shipped Jin-Joo more with Jang Ki-Young's character, I had no trouble buying into the chemistry and relationships troubles that Jin-Jo and Ban-Do had. It was heartwarming to see the love they had for their son though, It was adorable.

All the side characters were likable and I didn't mind their side stories. My favorite parts of the show were seeing Jin-Jo interacting with her mom. They are probably one of my favorite mother-daughter relationships in a K-Drama so far. The ending was bittersweet and I was really satisfied with it. In the future, I can see myself rewatching this again and again because it was that amazing!

This is the first JDrama that I ever completed. I had to watch due to the high ratings and I enjoyed the show a lot but it was really sad. I know it wasn't going to be a happy show but I really did wish for some miracle happy ending.

I do wish that the show had a bit more episodes that way relationships/friendships/plotlines could've been developed a bit more. Even though the story was about Aya coming to terms with her illness, I do wish they explored her siblings's reactions to her illness a tiny bit more. I thought they were going to expand more on the older's sister feelings in regards to Aya being more favorited but it seemed it got dropped which is understandably since the show only has 11 episodes. I do like how fast paced things were even though at times I felt like it was moving too quick. I do prefer a quick show than a show that's dragging on and on.

The actors did a great job displaying all the conflicting emotions that took place throughout the series (joy, anger, hurt, sadness, happy etc). I was deeply moved by the series but I'm most likely not going to rewatch again because it's too sad.

I didn't like this as much as I liked the first season. Most of the girls storylines weren't good. Literally, Song Ji Won's storyline was the best thing about this season. I like the new actress that played Eun Jae more than the old one but the way she was written this season was horrible. Obsessing over a guy that doesn't want you is not a storyline I had for her. The new girl wasn't bad but I felt like she didn't really have a strong connection with the other girls in the house. I didn't care for the Kpop storyline and I wished Ye Eun's storyline didn't abruptly end.

Even though this season wasn't the best, I was still sad to have finished the show.

I'm sorry but the two male rival leads had more chemistry than any of the supposed couples. Every time, they would stare each other down, I wanted them to kiss lol... I like the story better in the first few episodes. After that, it became ridiculous and repetitive. But for the most part, I was entertained. None of the characters are particularly likable and after a while, the female lead annoyed the heck outta me with her indecisiveness and lack of pride.

The soundtrack was repetitive but the music was catchy to me. The ending wasn't too much of a plot twist since I read spoilers but man what an ending. Overall, this had potential but the writing sucked and the story started to drag and drag.

I thought this show would be good but it wasn't really enjoyable at all. The first episode seemed decent but after that, the show went to hell. I found 90% of the characters extremely annoying and I wanted to drop this drama so bad but I managed to finish it.

Go Dok-Mi seemed to be interesting at first but in later episodes, she became so wimpy and annoying. I felt like she had no backbone and always seemed to cry alot. Enrique is cute but also really annoying but he's a good person, I liked the second lead at first but towards the middle of the drama, he became even worse than Enrique. I didn't care about the romance at all and didn't felt any chemistry at all between the leads.

At times, the show became really boring and nothing interesting was happening. The ending was meh and predictable but I didn't care because I was finally finished with the drama.

I gotta admit, one of the reasons why I watched this show was for Kim Woo Bin (I just love him). The first three episodes were okay but I didn't start really enjoying it until Woo Bin's character was introduced.

The show can be quite cheesy at times but it's also very heartwarming and amazing. The cast did an amazing job with the acting and even though the music sometimes felt out of place in certain scenes, the music was catchy. My favorite characters were Jung In Jae (Jang Nara) and Go Nam Soon (Lee Jong Suk). I didn't really have a least favorite character but the bullies and the mean girls did get annoying after a while. Despite enjoying the show, the ending was a bit of a letdown. Overall, this show was great plus it introduced me to Jang Nara who is one of my favorite Korean actresses.

I watched some of this show back when it was on Netflix (this was years ago) but today I finally completed the series. Overall, I really enjoyed this series. The main character had flaws but she was so well written. I didn't get second lead syndrome because the main couple were just so good together. Seeing their relationship develop was literally one of the best parts of the show.

The only thing I didn't like too much was the dragged out comedy scenes especially when those scenes would go back and forth between the main serial kidnapper case. Speaking of that, the final battle between the villain and Bong Soon was so lackluster. I was definitely expecting more action lol. The romantic scenes between Bong Soon/Min Hyuk made up for that because I was originally going to rate the show a 8/10.

Anyway, this was enjoyable and I'm kinda sad that it's over.
