    Must watch drama

    For the first time I can say that one drama did proper justice to the original webtoon. When the announcement of this drama came out I was very sceptical about it. But after the first episode itself I was super impressed. Each single character did an amazing work. I was actually surprised to see that they were able to conclude the entire webtoon in the 12 episode drama. Few important points weren't included in the drama. They could have been included if it were a 14 or a16 episode drama. But again it could have been dragged unnecessarily.

    Main leads -10/10 Chemistry-10/10 Story -11/10 Engagement -9/10.

    Stunning series of self-empowerment and true love

    "In your next life, don't be so good."

    This series gave me serious "Marry My Husband" vibes which I really liked as that drama was amazingly well done.

    Nevertheless, this drama did not disappoint me one bit with its exciting, different story including lots of dramatic scenes, intrigues, and unexpected revelations that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    It centers around a wonderful couple that finds to each other under quite unusual circumstances, where the love was practically overflowing from some point onwards.

    Additionally, Do-guk's behavior, his unconditional support, and simple presence show what love is actually about.

    Meanwhile, this is the empowering story of Yi-joo learning to love herself first and foremost instead of sacrificing everything for people who only exploited her.

    Lastly, this series has great story developments that are more than highlighted by amazing acting.

    Very Good but not as good as the high ratings suggest

    This is fantasy romance drama with a great lead in Jung Yoo-Min. She's incredibly stunning her presence of camera always draws you in. Her performance also makes you easily fall for her and route for her. You could feel the wave of emotions she goes through. You smile,cry and laugh with her through it all. The main lead guy is a great compliment to her as they had great chemistry.

    The show is very well made and unlike most K-dramas it doesn't drag the plot. It moves very fast to its conclusion which makes this a good drama to watch. It's not perfect but the supporting cast do a great job as they played their roles well. You know they're good when all they do is leave a bitter taste in your mouth when they're on screen.

    I liked it very much although the last episode was underwhelming. It's always like this with most K-dramas they usually don't know how to close out shows. They usually end up doing the most but it wasn't that bad. Nevertheless it's a great series but definitely is a bit overrated by many viewers like many other shows.

    Telenovela korean style

    Perfect Marriage Revenge left me somewhat pleasantly entertained, but the widespread acclaim and high ratings have caught me off guard.

    It's a low-budget revenge drama featuring lesser-known actors, and while the acting is passable ( at least for the main leads), there's a tendency for over-the-top performances, especially in dramatic scenes. The storylines and plots are straightforward and simple, bordering on cliché, reminiscent of Latin American telenovelas with their impossible plots and surreal twists.

    The drama introduced a time travel element, which, in my opinion, had untapped potential. The creators could have delved deeper into this intriguing aspect, but it felt underutilized. However, the romance between the main leads emerged as the drama's highlight. Their chemistry was palpable, injecting a spark into the narrative. Unfortunately, the backstory and the time travel arc could have been explored more extensively to enhance the overall depth.

    Despite its predictable plot and unrealistic twists, managed to be entertaining so if you don't have anything else in your watchlist, give it a go.

    My new favorite genre

    I would classify this as "Kdrama - Melrose Place Style." It moves pretty quickly. It's not filled overly cliched Kdramas scenes (umbrella rescue, brushing teeth together, adults kissing with their eyes wide open.

    The plot is straight forward with lots twists. Some predictable, some not.

    The acting was a little eh in places but the FL did wonderful in her switch up. Sung Hoons voice sometimes is a little too deep so his lines come out like a Broadway performer but he's still pretty!

    I'd absolutely recommend this if you want a more American night time soap feeling show versus a typical makjang.
