Remarks


by FanFanX



[First Impression (Ep1-2)] Not long ago, I finished the webtoon, so I'm pretty happy with how it's flowing so far. They get right into it - and her revenge plans are about to happen. And the romance will likely happen soon, too. I'm waiting for the 2CP and 3CP ships to happen and sail. 

[Actors/Actresses] I was worried about Na In-Woo playing this poker face role - and he's been excellent at it. (BTS indicates otherwise, hehe.) Choi Gyu-Ri as Yoo Hee Yeon is everything I imagined in a bestie and  much more! :D

[Update] Lee Yi Kyung and Song Ha Yoon really steal the show here.

[Behind the Scenes] 
  • Eps1-2. Cafeteria scuffle and Joo Ran's doodle of Mr. Kim is on-point. 
  • Eps3-4. Na In Woo being cool...is not real. (I like his natural dorkiness.) Park Min Young is standing on a box while wearing those platform heels. 
  • Eps5-6. Drunk first-meet.
    • Lee Yi Kyung has won me over in BTS. lol (I still hate Min Hwan though.)
    • Park Min Young giving Na In Woo a piggyback ride – keep watching. XD (~10:05) 
  • Eps7-8. It's hard to work with cats. (I'm enjoying Na In Woo here.)
  • Eps9-10. Jam-packed.
    • Na In Woo's backscratcher. 
    • The water scene - no goggles.   
    • Park Min Young laughing at evil MIL actress. 
    • Eagle wings! 
    • Everyone losing it with the panties on Lee Yi Kyung's head.
    • Lee Gi Kwang pointing out that Na In Woo is even taller with those ice skates. (He doesn't know how to brake either.)
    • The kiss... Director and Park Min Young help with the movements. 
  • Eps11-12. Couple Achieved.
    • The couple-y scenes! Lots of practice to make it cute. 
    • The cat is disruptive.
    • Intro to Oh Yu Ra.
  • Eps13-14. It gets dark.
    • Choi Gyu Ri is just gorgeous. 
    • Elevator fight. Did Park Min Young really injure Lee Yi Kyung? 
    • The boxing scene with Lee Yi Kyung and Kwon BoA. His expressions are the best.That flop. XD (Yu Ra’s secretary smiles here!) 
    • Song Ha Yoon and Park Min Young’s argument. (I like how they hug after it's over.)
    • More couple-y scenes. I knew this egg scene had to be hilarious in BTS!
    • Director wants a hug from Na In Woo. 
    • Preparing for the strangle scene. She purposely wore the scarf.
  • Eps15-16. The End.
  • All of those prison scenes. (~7:15) Song Ha Yoon destroyed her voice from these intense scenes. 
  • Na In Woo being...devilish. (~8:17)
  • Na In Woo even sings to this baby!!  (~10:50) I think it’s funny that it’s the opposite in reality - he knows how to hold a baby. lol 
  • The art team did those lovely pink blossom pieces at the end! (~11:00) 
  • Na In Woo sitting on Ha Do Gwon’s lap. (~13:09) Oversized child! lol (I saw ones on Lee Ki Kyong's IG...even better. XD)
  • Na In Woo and Lee Yi Kyung are friendly playful with each other. (~13:34) The latter is hilarious in BTS. 
[OST] Full OST.
  • Bad Liar 연극 | LYn 린
  • From Today 오늘부터 | Vincent Blue 빈센트블루 
  • I Have No Wishes Left | Car, the Garden 카더가든 
  • The Scars of Time 시간의 상처 | Kim So Yeon 김소연 
  • The Journey 여행 | Kelley McRae 켈리 맥레이

[Ending] As happy as they both ever imagined.



Four (4/5)


Three (3/5)

Reviewer: FanFanX
Date: April 2024
Aesthetics: A
Acting: A
Plot: B

A revenge story propelled by magic/time travel. We also have dear Yoo Ji Hyuk (Na In Woo) stealing Kang Ji Won’s (Park Min Young) broken heart and helping her give ten-fold retribution to her former bestie (GTB), Jung Soo Min and her once-husband, Park Min Hwan for ruining her first life. It is satisfying to watch the two turn on each other, too. A good blend of revenge and romance. There are three CPs (well, four if including the evil duo), and not nearly enough time to cover all of them properly. 

Favorites:
        1) Na In Woo who was able to pull off the many sides of Yoo Ji Hyuk. 
        2) Lee Yi Kyung as the evil 2ML, Park Min Hwan. He made it so easy to hate his character.
            (He’s being called names now…Oops, too good.)
        3) Yoo Hee Yeon (Choi Gyu Ri) is my spirit animal. 

Random Recommendation: 

Rating: 3/5


Two (2/5)



One (1/5)
