Ai C

The story even though had some twists but it was boring because the story pace was slow. If the series was cut by half, it might have been slightly interesting. The female lead was the only one interesting because she tried to solve problems. The ending was disappointing and with injustice— rather pointless. The bloody deaths was boring and unnecessary. I had to fast forward the show a lot.

Spoiler alert Not sure about the cheating part and her wanting him to leave his girlfriend, no matter what reason.

A drama that depicts reality and the struggles of marriage. Some dislike it because it can be viewed as advocating infidelity. But if you watch the entire drama, you would know that the 2 main leads left their spouse for good reason. Timing was just bad as it was coincidental that they fell in love with someone other than their spouse. That is why the drama shows the struggle and guilt the 2 main leads had. This drama depicts reality that often there is one spouse that is very nice, trusting and understanding -- loves his/ her partner fully to the point of not loving themselves. It destroys the person who gives and never really gets to receive kindness and love. This drama shows that the partners who treated their spouse badly with manipulation and selfishness got what they deserved. The main learning point is that if one loves your spouse, please treat your spouse with respect and fidelity -- don't assume that since they are kind people, they will never leave. If they stay, they will die inside.

Episode 2 is a lot better than episode 1. It is funnier and exciting. Kim Yohan was able to deliver. It is about what is important to youths that adults might overlook or not understand:

Great storyline and love to see how the characters develop. Song Weilong acted well too-- all acted well too. I like the slice of life approach and how issues covered-- everyone deserves the right to good education and treatment etc. The light humour was great. I wish for more romance between the main characters, especially the ending.

I kept smiling throughout the drama. Kim Johan and So Ju Yeon acted really well. They were able to portray the essence of first love. The other characters (friends) did a great job too. I love that the story was not just about love but also friendship. Kim Yo Han and Ju Yeon look really good on screen. The music was great! I watched the Korean version 3 times-- whenever I needed to cheer myself up. It also made my heart flutter watching the main characters and side characters' relationship. It is a remake of the China version. Both versions are equally good in their own ways. I laughed and smiled more when watching the Korean version and my heart felt warmer watching the China version.

Much better than the American movie 17 Again.

Funny, romantic and unpredictable. Great acting.

It was funny and interesting until the 3 characters made a decision to work things out together under a certain arrangement— ending became predictable yet disappointing. Disappointing ending — love shouldn’t be defined mainly as jealousy (more like a crush) and should be more of stability, reliability, thoughtful and committed.

The story is like an onion— it has many layers. Each layer reveals a mystery. It also took on a heavy subject such as autism and managed to cover it in a realistic manner. As I watch the show I feel the struggle for the caregiver and at the same time begin to understand and appreciate the uniqueness of the person with autism. This is brought about with good storytelling and great actors. The story is also about people who have been hurt and they are not doing okay. Just like the title, “It’s okay NOT to be okay.” , it helps the audience appreciate each character with their flaws and their struggles to the point of being endearing. It challenges the belief that people can only be accepted if they are perfect or fit in with social norms. It takes a while for the story to build up and it gets more intriguing as each episodes progresses. Unlike the typical K-drama, the characters are not immediately likeable and thus if one is expecting that— they may be disappointed. However, this show is worth watching because as the onion is being peeled off— we learn to love ourselves and others a little bit more. Also, we get to see the world with different perspectives, ‘broadening’ our hearts. Lastly, Kim Soo Hyun, Oh Jung-Se and Ko Moon-Young did a stellar performance! The cinematic was great too. The viewing experience was with a bag of wonder, mystery, excitement, surprise happiness, heart-warming and heart-wrenching moments.
