Ssanggabpocha

A great blend of comedy, drama and fantasy. Easy to watch, good acting and writing each episode, I was sorry to see the season end. You know you're watching a good show when you notice there are less episodes to go with each episode you watch, and you're dreading the time when it's the last one to watch. I'm not going to give anything away. Just give it a try and if you are not hooked after watching the first couple of episodes, then I guess this is not the kind of show for you, which is fine, but I'm guessing the majority of people will keep on watching. Glad I found this little gem of a show.

I came to watch this show completely by chance, scrolling down on Netflix and clicking on whatever poster caught my eyes. So I didn't have much to expect from what i was going to watch. To my surprise, Mystic Pop-up Bar is pretty good, and definitely deserves more attention than it does now. This drama is visually pleasing. Camera angles, special effect and scene transition are smooth, and may I say it's better than many K-dramas that I've watched. The clothing of lead characters is spot on, especially the hanbok collection of the female lead. Traditional or modernized, the stylist of this drama did a good job. I just love the trio of the drama, and they are really cute together. Hwang Jung Eum and Won Young proved that they got what it takes to fulfill the leading roles. Compared to the veterans, Sungjae did amazingly as a kind and naive male lead. The only downfall of this drama is sadly its pacing. For the first few episode, the script is a bit repetitive and predictable. All the twist and turns occurred in the last 2, so obviously there's not enough time, and the editing was a bit off as a result. To sum up, this is not an out of this world drama, but it's fun to watch. I recommend it to anyone who wants an heartwarming, funny and meaningful drama.

Great acting and directing. The cast does an outstanding job at luring you in so well that you forget you are watching a TV show! The story is interesting and well written. The show combines light comedy and sad drama together just right. By far my favorite Korean Drama thus far!

I have just finished Mystic Pop-up Bar and guess what? I started to re-watch it again!

The reason why I even created an account to give a review is because, come on guys, this series doesn't deserve 7. something...like what do you expect from a drama to be 10? Lots of kisses and crying...

I love the cast, they have a perfect chemistry together, all three. It made me laugh a lot, it made me cry and enjoy every chapter.

I am a big fan of fantasy dramas, you don't have to expect that you are going to see a lot of FX but what you are going to love is that in every chapter there is a new story while the main story starts to make sense.

You may recognize Hwang Jung Eum from She was Pretty, in this series I have seen another side of her acting, she is very charming, funny.

I like the combination between Joseon era and modernity plus the heaven and hell thing.

I won't tell you many other things about the series because I don't want to take you the chance to watch it and enjoy it.

I can only tell you that at the end I cried hard, like I didn't in a long time, it left me with a good vibe and with the wish to do what Hwang Jung Eum advised at the end.

I really hope for a second season since this one was too short...

Spirit realm, reincarnation, 500 year grudges, what's not to like. If only people believed what we do in this life we pay for in the next the world may be a better place. A cleverly written story, well acted with a good balance of humour and action makes this series very entertaining.
