Mystic Pop-up Bar

A great blend of comedy, drama and fantasy. Easy to watch, good acting and writing each episode, I was sorry to see the season end. You know you're watching a good show when you notice there are less episodes to go with each episode you watch, and you're dreading the time when it's the last one to watch. I'm not going to give anything away. Just give it a try and if you are not hooked after watching the first couple of episodes, then I guess this is not the kind of show for you, which is fine, but I'm guessing the majority of people will keep on watching. Glad I found this little gem of a show.

Just completed Mystic Popup Bar and im soo in love since first episode!!! Everyone has done a very good job, I wish this drama had atleast 16 episodes. I will miss watching this.

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.

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.

I have just finished Mystic Pop-up Bar and guess what? I started to re-watch it again!

The reason why I even created an account to give a review is because, come on guys, this series doesn't deserve 7. something...like what do you expect from a drama to be 10? Lots of kisses and crying...

I love the cast, they have a perfect chemistry together, all three. It made me laugh a lot, it made me cry and enjoy every chapter.

I am a big fan of fantasy dramas, you don't have to expect that you are going to see a lot of FX but what you are going to love is that in every chapter there is a new story while the main story starts to make sense.

You may recognize Hwang Jung Eum from She was Pretty, in this series I have seen another side of her acting, she is very charming, funny.

I like the combination between Joseon era and modernity plus the heaven and hell thing.

I won't tell you many other things about the series because I don't want to take you the chance to watch it and enjoy it.

I can only tell you that at the end I cried hard, like I didn't in a long time, it left me with a good vibe and with the wish to do what Hwang Jung Eum advised at the end.

I really hope for a second season since this one was too short...
