Mystic Pop-up Bar

I was quite skeptical watching this show because of Hwang Jung Eum cause I didn't like her previous portrayals in her other dramas, but I was surprised by how good her chemistry is with the cast in this one and how suitable her portrayal was for Wol-joo. I love Won Young Choi played his role as he showed all and very different sides of Guibanjang. Yook Sungjae was perfect as Kang Bae; honestly, his character is the cutest and the most adorable I've watched. All other characters played their roles well, even the recurring and episodic characters kept me hooked.

I like that there are take-aways or lessons given in each episode. Each episode was healing and relatable. It is highly recommended.

Great acting and directing. The cast does an outstanding job at luring you in so well that you forget you are watching a TV show! The story is interesting and well written. The show combines light comedy and sad drama together just right. By far my favorite Korean Drama thus far!

The show is in the format of adventure of the week and has elements of Korean Mythology which keep on getting revealed as the series progresses. Some episodes may be a bit slow. The resolution of central mystery of the show towards the end is a bit disappointing and a little convenient. The show must be watched for the chemistry between the four lead characters.

All the stories are beautiful! i'm so moved and excited for the latest episodes and sad because this drama ends. This drama teaches you very valuable things about the life and death. I LOVE THIS, DEFINETELY WORTH IT TO SEE!

Postscript: If you like Hotel Del Luna, i assure u that this you can enjoy.

I came to watch this show completely by chance, scrolling down on Netflix and clicking on whatever poster caught my eyes. So I didn't have much to expect from what i was going to watch. To my surprise, Mystic Pop-up Bar is pretty good, and definitely deserves more attention than it does now. This drama is visually pleasing. Camera angles, special effect and scene transition are smooth, and may I say it's better than many K-dramas that I've watched. The clothing of lead characters is spot on, especially the hanbok collection of the female lead. Traditional or modernized, the stylist of this drama did a good job. I just love the trio of the drama, and they are really cute together. Hwang Jung Eum and Won Young proved that they got what it takes to fulfill the leading roles. Compared to the veterans, Sungjae did amazingly as a kind and naive male lead. The only downfall of this drama is sadly its pacing. For the first few episode, the script is a bit repetitive and predictable. All the twist and turns occurred in the last 2, so obviously there's not enough time, and the editing was a bit off as a result. To sum up, this is not an out of this world drama, but it's fun to watch. I recommend it to anyone who wants an heartwarming, funny and meaningful drama.
