Rating: ★★★★☆
Huhu meter: ▮▯▯▯▯ 
Genre: Thriller, Romance, Comedy
Main Cast: Cho Yeo-Jeong, Ko Jun, Kim Young-Dae, Yeon Woo


SYNOPSIS

A best-selling crime novelist is married to a famous divorce lawyer. They have a notarized agreement stating that if the husband cheats, the wife will have authority over his body. Essentially, if he cheats, he dies. Their lives turn upside down when they become entangled with a murder case


THE GOOD

It's an engaging thriller but I love that there were a lot of funny scenes despite the gravity of the murder case and the seriousness of all the other issues tackled in this drama. I'm usually impatient with mystery shows but with COMIYC, I certainly did not mind that the case was resolved only in the last episode. 

Actors: They were all fantastic but Cho Yeo-Jeong really stood out for me. Her role was complex as she had to appear murderous but also kind of naive. Ko Jun was funny and annoying. Kim Young-Dae can, as they usually say in Korean dramas, make your heart flutter. Yeon Woo, who had to kind of play 2 characters, showed great versatility.

OST: I loved SURAN's O.V.E.R and Llwyd's Whisper.

Key takeaway: If you cheat, you die.😆 


THE MEH

The story arc of Yeon Woo's character felt incomplete. It had good potential but the resolution was rushed so it was a bit disappointing.

The ending left the audience hanging.😑


WHO IS CHEAT ON ME IF YOU CAN FOR?

If you like something interesting and exciting but also funny, you might just like this.

Together with an interpreter he met during one of his tours, he tries to discover a new career path. ✖️✖️✖️ The first few episodes were really slooooow. I almost gave up on it thinking the story wouldn't pick up but I was too intrigued with the pairing of the characters. ✔️✔️✔️ Once the pace picked up and the story was finally more interesting, it became a gift that keeps on giving. The lines in this show were very true to life. They're just like the conversations you have with your friends. I haven't seen any of the lead characters in any show before so that was refreshing for me. The soundtrack Run To You by LUCY was good.  There's an LGBT plot here and I loved how it was handled. Key takeaways from this show are mostly about...

Review: Strongest Deliveryman (2017)

Photo: KBS2 Rating: ★★★★☆ Huhu meter: ▮▯ ▯ ▯ ▯   Genre: Romance, Comedy Strongest Deliveryman tells a story about a young deliveryman who eventually started a food delivery app company. He had a lot of personal and professional challenges. On top of sustaining his business and helping small restaurants, he needed to compete  against a conglomerate that aims to shut them down. While I appreciate how it conveyed the importance of grit and determination when pursuing one's goals, I also liked the way it showed the reality that there are people who just feel hopeless in a place that's supposed to be their home. Some people prefer moving to a foreign land because they feel that their country and their government have failed them.   The issues addressed in the show may be serious but the delivery was actually entertaining. I just think that there wasn't enough chemistry between the main leads but, the entire cast made up for it. The lead couple was serious most of the time...

Photo: KBS Rating: ★★★★☆  Huhu meter: ▮▮▮▯▯ Genre: Romance, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy If you were given a chance to go back in time, would you do things differently or would you make the same life choices? That's the dilemma shown in Go Back Couple. As a married couple, the lead characters experience a lot of challenges day in and day out. When they reached their breaking point, they finally decide to live their lives separately. Bur right after filing for divorce and after throwing their wedding bands, they wake up the next day and find themselves living in the past. Fantasy series are usually complicated and would require so much focus and attention but GBC is not like that at all. The story was written smoothly so it was easy to watch. I feel that they were able to show the realities of what goes on in a marriage and if you're married, you'll probably realize that it's not just you who's going through a difficult time. What affected me more though was the female lea...
