FANGIRL FEELS
- Mystic Pop-up Bar is generally comedy, but you’ll also find some bits of romance, drama and action in it.
- This is a feel good drama and there was never a dull moment watching this series.
- Every episode is fun and I had never expected the story to be so deep and at the same time so heart-warming and touching.
- Hwang Jung Eum playing Weol-ju has indeed surprised me this time, it was so different from her other characters she has ever played. She looks so pretty and amazing.
- Yook Sung Jae is so adorable and his expression is priceless. His acting skills were amazing, especially towards the end (Goblin feels).
- The interaction between the three main leads was my favorite part of the series.
- Overall, it’s a good watch if you want to have a good laugh while wanting a heart-warming story.
My Rating – 8.0/10

Ooh! The tears I shed during the second episode! How Hubby teased me relentlessly about it considering this is not heavy drama but a comedy.

A very fun concept! I imagine enjoying watching this kdrama very much. I’m about at the end of my watch list so I can consider to go for this next!!

I think I’ve seen this sa newsfeed ko – I have an absurd amount of friends who are into kdrama. One of them said na disappointed siya kase natapos agad yung series so naghahanap nanaman siya ng mapapanood sa Netflix.
ps: Ang cute ni Yook Sungjae.❤️

I haven’t watched Mystic Pop-up Bar. Honestly, I’m not really into Koreanovela. Baka kasi kapag nasimulan ko, maadik na ako, Hehehe. But knowing Koreans, they’re really into feel good dramas, tipong pampagood vibes lang.

The character afterlife detective, Chief Gwi gave me an interest on this series. I haven’t seen any episodes yet and I hope Chief Gwi visits customers on their dreams, not eerily. My list of “next to watch series” grows whenever I visit your blog.

I’m into comedy now rather than drama and romance. But I haven’t watched kdrama in such a long time! The last time was crash landing on you.
