TOTALLY IN LOVE!!
I was obsessed with "Its Okay not to be Okay", and that had set such high standards that it got hard for me to move on to something else. But this truly was a league apart...
Can't really say if it was probably BETTER. But it DEFINITELY felt a tad bit more cuter than that <3
This story is the most beautiful blend of MUSHY LOVE, romantic drama, high school fun, friendship, and also a bit of mystery. Even when you feel like the story gets predictable, its not! ITS WAAAY MORE THAN THAT!
The First Half made me go UwU for all the sweet and cute moments. And the second half made me cry my eyeballs out... T_T If you're a sucker for series' that are heavily-cry-able, THEN DEFINITELY HAVE YOUR TISSUES READY! Overall a great watch!

Performance and interest in seeing how this wraps up was the reason I carried on watching this series. It's interesting concept wise but it's laborious and flawed especially in how it wraps up at the end. Such a pity as it's potential was enormous. I was disappointed by its lack of ingenuity at the end. Worth watching but only just.

The plot line is unique. A lot of the characters have a pure charm to them. The leads are so adorable together, but their loyalty, strong bond, and devotion for one another is truly admirable. It's such a great escape from the reality of the real world at times. The humor is lighthearted and very self aware. You can tell the script writers had a lot of fun filling the drama with cliches that make fun of kdrama stereotypes. There's also a great amount of deep tragic aspects for all the leads, which makes it super easy to root for all the characters. Be prepared to feel heart broken for them from time to time, laugh, cry, and even frustrated. For me, this is easily at least a 9/10. But I love it so much and had such an attachment to the cast, that i'm giving it a 10. Well done.

This Kdrama is so underrated. This definitely deserves an award and most especially Kim Hye Yoon, Rowoon and the actor who played as Gyeong. Idk how many times I've cried and loved in this movie. Btw, this is my first time making a tv drama/movie review! And that's because I believe this one shoukd get a lot more attention!

If you want to see an excellent comedy & romance drama, certainly it's one of the best choices.

Honestly the first 2 episodes were so boring that I doubted why my frd recommended me this but after seeing the lead actor I understood why! Kim Seok Woo (Stage Name Rowoon of SF9) is so much more than his good looks! He's amazing at his job. Top notch acting even though he didn't have much lines. Amazing story line but female lead's nosy voice and overacting was a bit let down.

In all honesty this drama should have been 8-10 episodes max. It became extremely repetitive.

I really enjoyed watching this series, however there were some parts I found annoying, mainly the female character's voice and the "cute" plays.. She became a bit annoying to me episode by episode.

This is one of the most thought provoking dramas I've ever come across. It may just seem like a romance drama on the surface(like the comic) but it's so much more than that. The characters having all human emotions and desires but not free will of their own,it's brilliantly portrayed. I love how there are so many layers in this drama. It's definitely very entertaining and I was left with a lot of questions about it and life while watching it.
" Extraordinary You " was, unexpectedly, pretty good.
The drama was cute and they handled the mystery well. The romance was really good too, especially since the couple had strong chemistry. The side characters were interesting too and they formed dynamic friendships with one another.
One thing that was a bit of a let down was the leading lady, who was a bit annoying at some times, especially when she was acting cute. Other than that, the pace was just right and they didn't introduce the romance strainght up, which was really clever. The love triangle was well made too. Plus, the drama and the mystery of the webtoon world were just great. Finally, the performances were really good and the ending was decent.
So, overall, nine out of ten.

A beautiful mess, completely constructed around plot holes. What happens when teen romance comic book supporting characters become self-aware? It's an emotional rollercoaster, like real-life adolescence is, itself, as well as a comment on the nature of reality.
The music is a character, poignantly reminding us that adolescence is not about superficiality, even as the kids get up to a fair amount of stereotypical high school goofiness.
The embedded comments on the nature of reality sneak up in the form of kaleidoscopic changes to the main character's (an extra in the comic book who rebels against her fate) school uniform that don't seem to show up on anyone else. (I'll have to watch again).
The explicit theme of an unseen cosmic force negating free will and the defiance of individuals against it is the one consistent character-driven plot thread.
it throws almost every Kdrama cliché into the story: Amnesia, half-sibling rivalry, life-threatening illness, not one but two love triangles, school bullying, marriages of convenience, class conflict, plus a big dose of time travel. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING, especially since all of these tropes are dealt with self-referentially.
It sure takes its time making its point that there may be no point, but least it does so beautifully.

This is by far the best kdrama I have watched and let me tell you why. It has an awesome storyline that catches your attention from the very first episode, it is very funny and makes you laugh, the characters are all likable, the actors did a great job... The love story between the charcters is amazing and seems so genuine. Overall it makes you want to bingewatch it. I was so connected to the characters, I laughed and cried with them. I was so sad when I finished watching it and for months I am unable to find a kdram as good as this one.

I had existential crisis after watching it ,we are really cartoons in god made world. How many of us are really trying to change our fate , are we really extra?
I felt really extra! I envy the actors who could play the script , live the fantasy. It was good, but i am over with young adult fiction.

Well, I quite enjoyed watching Extraordinary You, the most important thing is that there are actors who suddenly addicted to watching them, yeah ... it's ROWON! ROWON is the most handsome guy, and of course storyline is quite interesting, every character is pretty good except Dan Oh the most annoying girl and ROWON doesn't deserve to be paired with.

This drama started off really good, but halfway throughout it quickly became repetitive. I would have wanted the ending to be a little longer too, since it was a little confusing and just left me with more questions. It was still a decent drama with lovely scenes.
The start is interesting. After the first few episodes I thought about giving it up. Then it got interesting again. Or at least I thought so. I couldn't guess what was going to happen next, but it quicly got repetitive and thus,boring. After episode 18 I started time skipping more and more. After epidosde 24 I decided I had enough. So I read about the remaining episodes. I'm glad I didn't waste any more time. Definitely not how I thought it was to end. I don't see the point of this drama. There is some good acting (mainly the female lead) and decent music but I really don't like the story at all.
I can't guess every episode while I can do other series. Amazingly, I'm looking forward to the next episode

Very intriguing narrative. Existentialism is the core theme, so essentially dark, but also beautifully wrapped in a youthful love story. The actors were phenomenal, especially our dearest Dan ho. Ha-ru was a delight to look at and the kind of partner every girl deserves... But my heart ached for Baek Kyung until the very end.
It's a beautifully layered story, and you won't get bored for a moment.
PS: the cliched comic book parts kept reminding me of Boys over Flower, the first k-drama I watched some 10 years back now, these stories sure have come a long way. No hate to the F4 though, still love those boys.
