Saori Jun 06 2026 3:09 am So what happen to the real seo ri. I mean imagine your past taking over your body and do whatever its primitive brain want

sari Jun 05 2026 11:55 am I'm kinda sad that I'm not that excited about this drama anymore, it was still good, currently at episode 9, but my interest slowly declined, I just can't pinpoint why. Maybe coz of the hype, like everyone saying it's so great, I mean it's good, I guess I should've consumed less fan related and behind the scene content. I guess I'm also nitpicking the past plot, I've read theories that it could still be Seo Ri and she just remembered her past life as Dan Sin, just as how Se Gye's having dreams from the past, but still, like it wasn't Seo Ri that's he's in love with. they do have chemistry but I'm not convinced by how their love story is written, especially Seo ri's. I feel like she's more in love with the past, and is just trying to cease the life she's living now, and that's understandable, the past is her life. unlike se gye who's really in love with her. see, if I was really into the drama, like I was from the start, I wouldn't be nitpicking plot holes or just anything about it coz I'd just accept and enjoy the story. Anyways, I just want to rant here. I'm still going to watch it though hopefully it won't get worse (in my perspective of course not specifically the drama itself). Wonder how will they end it, is it reincarnation, she's seori after all or will she go back in the past at the end and of course seori's personality isn't the same, so will se gye fall for seo ri regardless.

Heidy Jun 04 2026 3:48 am Greetings from Indonesia.. I love this Drama ❤️

Noy Jun 03 2026 1:38 pm this show has been my favorite k-drama of 2026 so far omg im gonna miss every single thing about this drama ?

Noona Jun 01 2026 4:44 pm The male lead character is getting on my nerves. He’s so arrogant and acts all high and mighty and untouchable yet he misses every scheme his cousin sets for him. What’s the point of constantly acting you have everything in hand when you have nothing in hand? It makes enjoying this drama a little hard. He’s unlikable. the plot is also very predictable. No surprises. I’m kinda bored.

OK Jun 01 2026 1:27 am To me, there's only one lead, Seo-Ri, with many supporting characters who make her role even more significant. Maybe Se-Gye will step up mid way to take control of the plot and counter his cousin's schemes and reverse Dan Sim's fate now and in the past.

Kiyowo May 31 2026 8:12 pm Please tell me the song in the last scene of episode 8

exe May 31 2026 12:09 pm What a good drama, really good, I think this is one of the best romcom I've watched after Business Proposal and Mr Queen (minus the ending). Chemistries are so good, not only between Lim Jiyeon and Heo Namjun, but also both of them to all of the supporting characters. Comedy are so fresh, they used some of well known romance trope and creativily twisting it into some fresh directions. Everyone r so good at acting, so smooth, nobody feels forced. And oh man, Jang Seung Jo is amazing, I wish Mundo have more screen time and doing more sick deeds that he is already. I live his acting.

On twt ive seen people calling Heo Namjun as ugly ML but he is so heartbreaking ??? Ive been so crazy about Cha Segye he is so good.

Willcary8@gmail.com May 31 2026 11:55 am Love this production and the two leads!!! Great work!

Poop diddy scoop May 31 2026 11:10 am Why he hold his laugh like that

Roha okane May 31 2026 8:15 am What i like about ML & FL is they are good in acting, the dictation and their facial expressions.

Also, it is very rare to find a ML that looking so manly and masculine. Most of Kdrama ML so muka jambu.

XieXie May 29 2026 7:38 pm Lim Jiyeon becoming her characters every time she acts is so !nsane to me. Thats why I can’t recall her characters from The Glory and The Tale of Lady Ok. The best actress in her generation.

TLT BRCA May 27 2026 3:36 pm This is, by far, one of the most entertaining kdramas I’ve watched in a good while! I am really looking foward to the weekends so I can forget about everything and just have fun for 2 hours. The cast is superb! Lim Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun are doing an amazing job! I was laughing out loud in the scene where they met, iconic!

Mingyu May 26 2026 10:56 am Great drama, casting, ost and story! The female and male lead has best chemistry and amazing acting, for sure this kdrama will be awarded many recognitions and awards in acting soon!

Kelly May 25 2026 12:08 pm Lim Ji-Yeon looks so beautiful in this drama, are expressions are so cute

Kelly May 25 2026 12:02 pm I'm having a great time watching this drama it's so fun. Everyone is doing great. The male lead is effortlessly funny. I remembered him in the Kdrama "Snow Drop" as the restless student, who couldn't be calm; he was so funny he made me laugh so hard that I couldn't stop laughing... I replayed his scene over and over again.

This drama is exactly what I need right now...relief

Tulip0014 May 24 2026 11:39 pm Im on my 30s and I don’t want kdrama that has stressful storyline anymore. This drama is chill and funny. I love seeing Lim Ji Yeon on this drama since she’s so annoying in The Glory. The ML, he’s getting criticism right now bcoz maybe his not handsome like Songkang, Cha Eun Woo and others ML but he’s so d*mn hot in here. He’s acting and charisma makes him so attractive. So inlove in this drama. Can’t wait the remaining episodes.

Jan R May 24 2026 9:13 pm Wait both male leads are from Snowdrop??? Ok, say less, i will definitely watch this!

NeilWH May 24 2026 5:14 am Just what the doctor order !

LEE May 23 2026 11:51 pm Im gonna say i was skeptic at first but im gonna say This Drama Is a Breath Of Fresh Air. Fast paced, funny, unpredictable and the banter uhgh.. i love it. caught myself laughing out loud with a lot of scenes. it was hilarious and at the same time i caught myself giggling. their chemisty was Off The Charts. looking forward for fri-sat because of this! ugh

Karl May 23 2026 8:38 pm Overall I like this drama very much: There are a lot of funny situations and dialogues, the cast is brilliant and Lim Ji-Yeon is just wonderful! I would like it even more, if Kang Dan-Sim sometimes acted a bit smarter, cleverer and show that she is a strong woman with emotion and intelligence and suprise us with her knowledge and thoughts dating back to the Joseon era as well as all the new things she has impressingly quickly learned about the present world. This fit better to her role-personality and provide the viewer with even more fun and excitement!

Koko May 23 2026 8:24 pm Battling depression but this kdrama makes me happy. Cant wait to see the next episode

Sanji May 23 2026 7:10 pm Well, this kdrama is getting better. It’s hilarious at its best. I am really loving the ML and FL. Plus the sound track is amazing too.

Best Kdrama of 2026 May 23 2026 11:10 am Daebak!! This drama is one of the best of this year and that OST from Gwyn Dorado. I'm so obsessed to it and has been listening to it on repeat already. I'm so excited for more episode and I can't wait to watch this drama get all the awards it deserves!

Astrid May 22 2026 12:26 am Loveeee it!

Loveme May 20 2026 9:57 am Love the cast... already know the plot but still very interesting

Opeyemi May 18 2026 4:28 am I totally love this fresh and exciting series. Seeing that the main actors have been given a chance to be the main after several side characters in other movies. But they still brought this series to life with a unique story. Love from Nigeria ????

Imnida May 17 2026 5:45 am Hope it gets a high ratingssss jebaaaaalll, this really deserve all the love, support and high ratingssss

Lee je ah May 16 2026 8:48 pm So fun to watch Loving both ML and FL good acting so amusing Looking forward Hoping for the next season to show us even how the before FL was loving i mean a recall or something Other than that all casting is doing good

Looking Forward!!!

dee May 16 2026 7:49 am Soooo, who's the king??? This kdrama is so interesting that I have watched even if this is still ongoing!

Alsoud Hajihil May 15 2026 11:25 pm The aide of the Male lead does nothing and still be funny. Also the grandmother scene is just wholesome and sad considering the woman who owned the body died during set is just heartbreaking. She never got to see her grandma one last time. ToT

Djbianca May 14 2026 6:57 am Its still the first episode im watching and im already rolling laughing to death.

A MUST WATCH!! May 13 2026 11:56 am I can't stress it it enough. I laughed so much. Especially after she binged watch.

Mia May 13 2026 10:24 am Low ratings but no1 in ott and netflix, guessing this attracted more gen z on their smartphones. Still one of the fresh & fast paced drama I enjoyed so far, Lim Jiyeon is really a good actress.

Hallyu wave is real May 12 2026 1:54 pm This drama is fantastic and the plot is amazing…I am hooked by the performances of both male lead and female lead. They are amazing in their own way. Perfect cast, perfect story, no boring moment at all…what more to ask..perfect drama to watch on Friday and Saturday. Loving it so much. Seriously good start.

Ma Ri May 12 2026 11:25 am Why such low ratings? The story's good so far. And I'm so happy that Heo Nam Jun is finally a male lead!!! He acts really well in all the series and movies he's been in. Please, universe, let this series get a double-digit rating! And more male lead roles for Heo Nam Jun!

Manu May 10 2026 8:44 pm Kang Dan-Sim's story reminds of Jang Ok-Jung's story, one of my favorites. 2 episodes and I'm already convinced this is one of the best dramas of the year. Two amazing actors, great chemistry, interesting plot, villains who are not the real villains. I love it!

Hanidah Ashari May 10 2026 11:10 am Major love for this drama. Lead actor and actress are fabulous. Cant wait for rest of series. Watched Nam-jun in When the Phone Rings n hooked. The actress looks like the lead actress in Mystic Pop up Bar. Just rewatched this drama too.

Boom May 10 2026 7:10 am Great first 2 episodes! Rooting for this drama!!

T May 10 2026 6:55 am Reminds me of The Story Of Park's Marriage Contract which I loved!

Chloe May 10 2026 4:48 am This is so fun, I just can't. Lim Ji-Yeon is such a gem! I hope the rest of the story will be also at the same level.

Joseon May 09 2026 2:22 pm Ok this is very promising…loving the first two episodes hope it continues till the end.

Troutsicle May 08 2026 9:37 pm Ji Yeon is such a gem. What an amazing first episode.

Brian V May 08 2026 2:28 pm This title just popped up on my Netflix feed. I don't generally watch KDrama's based on the Joseon era but this looks kinda funny. I'm sure it will have a bunch of the situations where someone from the past is put in a situation where they have to experience something the audience has grown up with. I just hope they put a fresh perspective on those moments. The female leads seems to have a funny cuteness to her, from the trailer anyway. I got a Han Ji-Min, who is my favourite actress, vibe from her, from when she was in Behind Your Touch. I'll definitely put this on my list of shows to watch.

Diana769 May 08 2026 12:53 pm I just watch episode 1..Wow,I really like this story ??? Can't wait for episode 2 ?

Cha Apr 22 2026 2:17 am im so seated for this diva

Jew Apr 16 2026 2:25 am I saw the 1st teaser and I was amazed on their chemistry. Can't wait. I hope it's 16episodes.

Josephine Feb 11 2026 11:58 am I really need this to air quickly like right now.. Lim Jiyeon save me

Jew Jan 01 2026 7:57 am Wow! I'm looking forward to it!?

Joy Dec 31 2025 3:37 pm Giving queen and I vibes

Lea Oct 25 2025 6:51 am Lim Jiyeon?? Say no more Im Seated

Keko Oct 19 2025 11:54 pm Horee can see Lim Ji Yeon after the Tale of lady Ok .. aahh 2 favorite actress & actor ( a hundred memories ). Yaayyy cant hardly wait

Jillibean Oct 19 2025 2:14 am Hope it's good! I fell in love with the leading man in A Hundred Memories! :)
