Cute but with a pretty heavy dose of trauma (Mild spoiler)
OldGuyUS2 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Executive Summary Watch it. It's really pretty good and has a very nice ending. I don't agree with the very low ratings, although it is not a "great" series.

Fantasy is not my thing, but I did enjoy this series.

There is a mystery running throughout the series and they don't reveal what is really up until near the end, and it was a bit of a surprise. So they did a good job.

The cast is great, especially the main couple (Nana and Jang Dong-Yoon) and the FL's roommate (Gong Min-Jung). The main couple is pretty dour most of the time, because of their sad past. And that may be why some folks think the main couple lacks chemistry. But what makes the series work, for me, is that the lighter moments are really cute. When the FL is happy she lights up the room and steals the show! I would love to see her in more of a RomCom role where there is more happy and less sad. I think she would absolutely knock it out of the park in such a role. I'll cross my fingers :-)

(Spoiler Alert) And super extra points to the writers for giving us quite a few minutes of happiness at the end, and glimpse into the future of the couple after they are able to reunite. We need more of these types of upbeat and more complete endings. Yay!

Underrated
Infycd_30 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
My man is Cupid - a fantasy, crime, suspense romcom drama. A very different storyline compare to other fantasy drama.

I like this kinds of drama so much. They added all elements in single drama that's make more interesting. When it comes to ramance part both leads are so gorgeous. And their chemistry is also beautiful wish they add some steamy romance ;). Thankfully they added some crime suspense part which makes you more interest in this drama. But like in every kdrama the psycho killer only kills women which is really a old plot they should have made some different.

I liked the ending also. That one is really different. In every fantasy drama when guy return after death he is still a demon, goblin or alien which doesn't make sense because the female lead is a human she can age, she can die. But in this drama they made it different he returned after death he is become human and married with her had a child and they live happily ever after. That was the real happy ending.

Female Lead
mrslermam10 March 2024
The female lead seems to be a great actress if her role was to act dumb, stupid with no common sense on her actions. However for this k-drama that type of role does not suit. Disappointing in so many levels. The script should of been reviewed and adjust it. Too many times she put her self and others in danger making her look selfish and careless. Very immature for her age on the show. She was supposed to be educated with a good job, her actions should of matched it. The ending was not great. To me looks like the show was rushed and not thought off. Could of had an amazing ending. Some parts of the story were confusing.

Very underrated drama why is the rating low !!!!!!Best kdrama ever
raneembassamsh17 January 2024
This is the first kdrama that had me rewatching the already posted episodes while waiting for the next episode I have never once rewatched something I already watched but I don't know what's it about this drama it got me completely hooked maybe the FL and ML and their chemistry that got me rewatching every episode or maybe the plot twist in this drama or maybe the funny parts every thing in this drama literally so addicting I really really really hope they make a season too with more romance scenes between nana and doyeon but omg this drama is probably my favorite of all time and the fact that searching every where for the cast interviews says how much I'm invested in this drama and it's so underrated I hope people will watch it.

Great storyline but annoying female lead
ashleyh-726318 April 2024
The storyline was well-written but it got extremely boring at time. Additionally, the female main lead was extremely annoying and was always drunk. I don't find being drunk all the time as funny. I thought it was dragged out and could have been condensed to 12 episodes. The murder mystery was great plot and was interesting, but without that part of the storyline, it would have been the worst show that I watched. The female lead was too desperate and jealous. How she acted was extremely immature. I enjoyed the main male lead acting and thought it was interesting. Overall, it could have been better if some parts was cut from the shows. It was like the episodes were all the same. The female lead getting drunk and being extremely obsessive for nothing.

Will Cupid Win?
colleendean-0344716 January 2024
I just fell upon this K-drama and am pleasingly surprised. The unlikely hero, Yang Doon-yoon, is charming as Cupid, as are his cohorts, one of whom keeps turning from human to dog. I always enjoy Gong Min-jun's performances, and it is refreshing how Nana, the Vet, can laugh at her own beauty - I want to see both actresses in more shows. Comic scenes between the battle of the sexes versus tension about capturing a serial killer may seem disconcerting, but they work. The police, led by detective Park Ki-woong, join forces to solve crimes. There are tearful along with romantic and humorous moments that intertwine in the web of reincarnation and the modern world. Who will win in the struggle for love or solving a murder? And of course, cute puppies always bring smiles.

Hmmm... not sure I like this...
crzuucqn3 March 2024
Ehhh. Honestly I'm on episode 9 so don't have full story, but rooting for detective as ultimate love interest... there is not real appeal in attraction with the fairy and main actress. Imo. Hope it turns out well. Weak love storyline- good acting. I'm sure others might feel differently from me as to who should be main love interest. . I will update as I finish series.

Apparently I'm required to add 600 words to this review posts, from IMBD. I find this to be highly annoying as I have nothing to add to my review, at this time, but I will say I think this policy from IMBD stinks and can ramble on with foolish nonsense if that is what is required...

AMAZING PLOT
arutland-3516321 January 2024
One of the best K-Dramas that I have ever seen. There are so many plot twists so it is fascinating to watch as the show keeps you guessing and then takes another turn just when you thought you had figured the plot line. The actors and actresses were brilliant in their acting and chemistry towards each other. The ending is well thought out but not without hardships along the way. One that I will watch again and again! I hope to see more of these actors/actresses in the future! I recommend everyone watch this! My favourite scene is towards the end of the series with Strawberry & Apple. Thank you!

Waste of time and brain
aman0109198623 January 2024
Just finished the series and it is so boring, I love k drama but this one was so boring, a reincarnation story which had no connection and the writer used all his power to connect it but failed miserably, many questions were unanswered or the writer forgot the plots, there are so many unnecessary flashbacks again and again same flashbacks, the side heroine had acted far better the main lead, she was more expressive, the hero is cute and did act well, there was little thriller feel but all vanishes in few episodes, I kept on waiting for at least a good built up but nothing was there, the connection between lovers are not upto the mark if you keep in mind the normal k drama phenomenon. You can slip this one.

Obsessed with this show
sincerelyjan24 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I stumbled upon this show after another k drama on Prime and got addicted to the show. The plot line and the romance got my heart aching. To think that everyone has a thread of fate soul mate and they waited over 500 years and to endure challenges over and over again to be together made me cry. What an amazing storyline. Although I wished Dong Chu got his happy ending too with Do Ra. That would've been really nice to see them together too. I recommend everyone to watch this at least once. The ending got me in my feels I cried so much and now I want to find my person too. 😭 I also wished the police guy had a happy ending but he was selfless even though figuring out everything he wanted her to be happy.

Awful FL, rehashed plot
pillowfiend-2489128 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I love K Dramas, but I am so sick of the "we're fated to be together and our past lives prove it" trope. I'll watch a past lives K Drama, even if it's a cliched trope as long as it's a well written story with great characters. This is neither. The female lead is terrible. She's told repeatedly by the male lead that he doesn't like her, but she refuses to listen and instead puts herself in dangerous situations solely to get his attention because she "can see in his eyes he's lying". That's called obsession and it's creepy, no matter how lovely she is. She's supposed to be this smart, well-educated woman but the second she meets the male lead, she acts like an immature, lovesick teenager. The scenes where she gets jealous over his smallest acts of kindness to her friend? They made me see red because she is just so ridiculous. I'm sure the writers tried to make her seem confident in what she wanted, but that's not how she was portrayed. She just came off as childish.

The ML and SML aren't much better. One screams from mountain tops that he's not interested while doing everything he can to keep her attention, and the other refuses to believe she's just not that into him. They're all difficult to root for, which makes any other part of the story difficult to care about.

This is a great drama. The two leads had great chemistry and the murder mystery storyline was very interesting as well. I loved how everything tied together with the murder mystery and characters. I wasn't really a fan of the storyline between the friend and brother angel. I also didn't really like the flashback scenes. You get a better understanding with the flashbacks, but I feel as if there were too many scenes. The flashback scenes would also come in and out of nowhere and some of them would replay, which I wasn't that fond of. I would've also appreciated more scenes with the two leads and more character depth for the female lead. Overall, it's a great drama. The ending could've been longer with the two leads, but I appreciate how the writers didn't go the cliche route.

Not Good Enough
PennyReviews2 February 2024
Korean Drama '' My Man is Cupid '' is a fantasy romantic comedy.

The concept of the story, though unique, was quite idiotic overall. It wasn't well executed, though the group of fairies offered many funny moments and their chemistry was spot on. A chemistry that, unfortunately, the main couple didn't have. Therefore, their romantic moments were awkward, which was aided by the absorbed behavior of the main female lead who often acted out so strangely towards the main male lead that more often than not baffled him and the audience as well.

Other than that, the mystery case was pretty intense and interesting.

The performances were okay as well.

So, overall, three out of ten.
