The Number You Have Dialed

I truly cannot emphasize enough on how much this show disappointed me!

I got so excited by the first episode. And even through half of second episode. But after that, it became a magnificent free fall!

Usually Korean shows start well but they decline after 7-8 episodes. But the decline happened very soon for this one.

Something that could have been a great serious thriller, became a joke. A childish silly rom com.

The main characters are unbelievable. Their dialogues on the phone are ridiculous and meaningless. Male lead's change of behavior is so drastic and is unbelievable and sometimes annoyingly childish to the audience. You would ask yourselves:" how could someone so smart be so stupid?"

This show has all kinds of twists which you see regularly on Korean shows, but all these twists look and sound comical in this show. They don't affect you the way they should.

They only thing that hooked me was that the leads had a good chemistry(kind of), specially male lead who could show his emotions pretty well.

That is all.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series and was a little surprised to see some of the negative reviews about it. To be fair, I am an English-speaking person and only started getting into K-dramas last year, so I watched this entire series with closed captions. I liked the relationship between the main characters-yes, some parts were a little "cheesy," but overall, I thought their relationship was cute. I even found myself laughing at the villain, thinking, "When is this guy going to die? He has more than nine lives!" The one part of the series I didn't like was the ending. The last episode felt almost like a completely different plot, and I'm not sure why the writers went in that direction. Honestly, the series could have ended at the 11th episode.

That said, I still found the series pretty entertaining overall. I encourage you to form your own opinion rather than being influenced by the negative comments.

From 10 to an 8.

This was a great K Drama until the final episode.

I was hooked until episode 12 and I'm like what the heck happened? It was a complete turnaround. It did not make sense. I don't know what the production team was thinking. There are no spoilers here as I want to hear if other reviewers thought the same.

I don't want to spoil it, but my suggestion would be is to watch the first 11 episode and let it end there.

Don't bother watching episode 12 it would be a shame to say episode 12 was part of this amazing K drama. Whoever is on the production team that decided to greenlight episode 12 should be fired.

This show hooked me from the beginning. The actors were amazing. I see some gave it a bad rating for the ending but the show as a whole was well done. The ending was rushed but still a great watch. It was a romantic thriller which is exactly what is was supposed to be. Loved the music and the escape. It's not a serious drama but a fun one. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a romance like a romance novel. The characters are beautiful and sexy. The plot is creative and not your typical kdrama which I like. It's not my favorite kdrama but certainly a very entertaining one. It's worth the watch if you are into that genre.

This drama has absolutely no logic or reason. It's as if someone very untalented hastily made up some text out of boredom and someone later took and paid famous actors to perform a show that I would describe as a combination of fifteen of the stupidest kdramas in one. All the worst clichés and scenes that you were embarrassed to watch before in these other bad kdramas are now lined up one after the other without a break in this drama. I am extremely uncomfortable watching how, along with a very bad story and a script without absolutely any sense (not to mention how my brain is leaking because this is literally brain rape of people who use it for thinking), they force some romance between a control freak who enjoys abusing and humiliating his fake wife and that poor thing who 99.9% of the time in this series has such a pathetic expression that screams misery and unhappiness. So what kind of people enjoy their "love" scenes? Are you turned on by a bully and his victim who kisses him with that face that constantly has fear and misery written all over it?? Really? And then they dare to throw in that he loved her all along while abusing her and making her feel pathetic little worthless thing. Hahahah omg. And this part where she talks and then she's mute again for a bit and then she talks again in front of random people and then she's mute again in front of some people.. I'd better not comment.. It's just to emarassing. What a nonsense series. Kdramas really are flying towards the bottom at the speed of light.
