I was disappointed with this series. It had so much potential but in the end I was left wanting & confused. I stuck with it ONLY because of Joon Go.

This was an enjoyable mystery-comedy drama full of character and style. The main leading actor and actress Cho Yeo Jung & Go Jun were the perfect cast for their character, completely embodying the character to bring it to its full potential. The mystery element was good and kept going for its entire runtime but this delayed a lot of things to the last episode which made it feel cramped. This also resulted in slow pacing which almost turned it stale. The last episode could've been done better, the 2nd half of the last episode was going all over the place and a bit too unfocused. Meanwhile, the ending was purely done that way to leave a stronger impression, so it's not meant to be taken serious or to be over analyzed.

For a European like myself this series is interesting to watch for the depicted Korean culture alone. Food and burial habits are interesting examples of this, and of course people's everyday behaviour and body language. Cheat On Me, If You Can is also quite different from Western TV, even if it's made to fit Western tastes as well. All in all it was a very entertaining experience, the casting was good and the plot kept you guessing till the end.

The series had some problems though, mainly with pacing and the amount of plot twists. In the beginning the series was a tad slow to start, but in the end the plot twists kept coming too fast and the ending seemed rushed. Tying all the loose ends felt a bit forced. Still, it's worth watching!

Kang Yeo Joo is an amazing character- strong and independent. I liked how they thought of dumping bodies on a cemetery. It's creative. And the title, of course you kill a guy who cheats.

Korean Drama " Cheat on me, if you can " had many twists, a slow built mystery and strong characters. Actually, the characters were many, some times way too many, and they all created a puzzle of intriguing events, that, in the end, were presented in an unsatisfying way that even left the ending ambiguous.

The themes that the drama dealt with, moreover, were a bit ambiguous themselves. A cheating husband, a wife with murderous intents, a spy, and a pretty carefree student who, in fact, hides dark secrets, are the main characters of the drama and that itself says a lot about what the drama was all about. In fact, those characters were what pushed the story forward more than once and kept the action going. It must be noted here that the first episodes were boring and not that thrilling, but the drama did pick up quickly after them, especially when you get to know the characters and the mystery becomes more than just a murder case that involves the main couple.

Other than that, the performances were really good by everyone and the soundtrack suited the whole story well and it was enjoyable.

So, overall, 6.5 out of 10.
