I recognized JSM and LjW from other K-dramas. I started watching it because I was bored and didn't expect much, but I'm totally into it. I'm only on episode 3, but I have a feeling it'll be awesome all the way through. The writing is so good; every character gets their time to shine. They're witty, ridiculous, cute, and hilarious! The visuals, acting, chemistry, and music are all fantastic!

OMG, I'm so annoyed! I've watched the first season and the first episode of the second season, and if I could, I'd give it zero stars. 😠They completely changed Mudeok/Naksu into a new Jin Bu Yeon out of nowhere! (In episode 20, Mudeok's body was saved by those two women from Jinyowon, and it magically turned into Naksu's body & face. Didn't they burn Naksu's body in the first season?🤯 And Naksu's soul in Jinbuyeon's body feels nothing like the Naksu's soul in Mudeok's body (the bodies of Mudeok and Jinbuyeon are supposed to be the same person). 🙄
They totally erased Mudeok....
And Mudeok is independent and strong-willed, but this Jin Buyeon is just weak and whiny (just because she lost her memories she turned into a different person 😅). Jin Bu Yeon wasn't this weak either when she lived in Sari town, and she lost her memories too, lol. This brand new Jin Bu Yeon is always opening her eyes wide and begging for Uk's sympathy. Did Mudeok ever do that??? I don't remember that. This isn't the Mudeok/Naksu I know.
And seriously? Jang Uk was with another woman after only three years of grieving Mudeok? Not a single moment did Uk recall Mudeok. He just kissed Mudeok at ep20, and now he was holding a different woman (Jin Bu Yeon) right at ep1 s2. Dear writer, I didn't have time to adjust my feelings... this is cheating.
Seriously, Netflix? How could you put Jung So Min's name last in the credits, after she carried the whole show for 20 episodes and made us love it? And the poster? It's not even her, it's the S2 actress, and now I regret watching all of S1.
I'm done with this...
