From Now On, Showtime! (2022– ) User Reviews

Good story

[Infycd_ · 6/10 · 23 December 2023]

I'm big fan of supernatural shows. While searching some other show i found this one.

It was engaging in the beginning I don't say it was boring but kind of they dragged in last few episodes. But has some story unlike some Korean romance dramas.

All the actors were too good especially ml company employees.

Some of the comedy scenes were too good I laughed a lot.

Asusual like every fantasy drama this show has also a previous life story. I mean that plot is so repeatative. I'm just bored about that same kind of plot in every kdrama. Do something new guys.

Wish both leads had a some good romantic moments. It was actually missing in this drama. Anyways overall one time watchable.

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 6/10 · 3 November 2022]

Korean Drama " From Now On, Showtime! " is a drama with an interesting theme.

The drama has some pretty interesting characters. The female lead is enjoyable and quite different from the other FM out there, although, towards the ending, she got watered down. The ghosts, in addition, were those who stole the show and their comedy acts were spot on.

The rest of the drama had its moments, with a smooth mystery case and an interesting new world of ghost to be discovered. However, it got boring as it went on. The male lead was too predictable as well. Those silly final scenes were just okay as well.

The performances, on the other hand, were enjoable by everyone in the cast. The CGI were great as well.

So, overall, six out of ten.

its enjoyable

Its rare to find a KD that doesnt have an annoying character or two in it, this doesnt have any so i can watch it without ff the dumb stuff, the two mains are quite good the girl ive never seen before and she carries the series, ive only watched 3 episodes and they were all great and cant see this getting rediculous going forward.

drama's story sounds breathtaking

[rugby-13167 · 10/10 · 13 June 2022]

A great drama everything in this drama is in place the exciting scenario is thought out there are no protracted scenes the characters are revealed the cast is magnificent. I was pleased with the wonderful actress Jin Ki Joon as the suited partner for the brilliant actor Park Hae Jin.

Unique and absolutely the best

[mikkiparker · 10/10 · 12 June 2022]

This show is a must-see! From the chemistry between Cha Woong (the ML) and Seul Hae (the FL) to the absolutely gorgeous friendship between Cha Woong and his ghost employees who never stop roasting their boss. Thanks to that, the show is absolutely hilarious with beautiful aesthetics. The last two episodes (especially episode 15) were so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. The finale, overall story, and the graphics of the last episode were top tier.

While watching, we got to see how past lives affect the lives now, as the drama showed Cha Woong's and Seul Hae's past relationship from 2 00 years ago. The plot was written very nicely and the flow didn't feel too rushed or out of place. The transition between only being able to see ghosts into a more supernatural plot looked natural. Great friendship-oriented drama. It's definitely a 10/10.

A legendary series

[sulukabdussamed · 10/10 · 23 February 2023]

The fact that it has a fantastic world and the characters play this role very well has made the series a legend and I think this production did not see the value it deserves, I liked it very much because it was both entertaining and sticking to the script.

It was very successful in taking the audience to the past and acting according to old beliefs while watching,in addition to these, the characters' being sympathetic and friendly keeps the audience on the screen for 1 hour and even wants to watch more.

Anyway, I hope you all watch this drama, otherwise you're missing a lot, I wish you a good time.

If you like "Goblin", "Bring It on Ghost", "Tunnel" you will like this as it has elements from all

[leahcubed · 9/10 · 19 October 2022]

9/10 is my rating. This is a 2022 South Korean romantic comedy fantasy with 16 approximately 60 minute episodes.

First I provide a synopsis then a review.

Synopsis

Cha Cha-woong (Park Hae-jin) comes from a long line of powerful male shamans. He chose not to follow in his grandfather's footsteps when he sees how well he is treated when things go well for people but how quickly they turn on him. So, he decides to use his skills to produce magic shows utilizing the skills of ghosts, which he employees. Fate makes Cha-woong and a dedicated female police officer Go Seul-hae (Jin Ki-joo) cross paths and the two use their individual supernatural powers to solve crimes.

Review Overall I liked this very much. It had a supernatural element that had a lot of ties to the general beliefs on things such as ghosts and afterlife but had a lot of very unique twists. They wove the day to day police work in with the back story that was woven through very well. I loved the magic shows and how he utilized the ghosts to make shows that were so amazing it rocketed him to the top of his field. I was happy to see him in a role where I didn't feel I wanted to hate him. His role in "Cheese in the Trap" overshadowed how I felt about the actor so I was happy to see him in a role where he was a "good guy." The chemistry between the leads built slowly and realistically and they were a very believable couple. I liked that his character developed from being very self centered and selfish to what his core really was all about which was a more caring and thoughtful person. Other characters commented on the change and his character growth and it added to the compelling nature of such an unveiling of who someone really is under all the facade they put up. His ghost employees each had their own unique backstory, talents, and their relationship with the leads and each other made for a very heartwarming element. I highly recommend this for anyone that wants a unique and compelling drama. If you like "Goblin", "Bring it On Ghost", and "Tunnel" to name a few you will like this one as it has elements of all of those.

Spoilers* This one truly kept you going all the way to the last episode where there was still action happening and things going down. That was both a good thing (it kept you interested throughout) and a bad thing (the wrap up felt rushed). There were a few things that detracted ever so slightly from the story and kept me from indicating it was perfect. When the Male Lead character (MLC) is stabbed when he has the evil spirit in his body he somehow lives. But it is never clear how or why he lives or how just being stabbed got rid of the evil spirit. When he is taken in by his former ghost employees and they are suddenly back but pretending to be reincarnated versions of themselves - it is never reveal)ed how or why they were able to come back and help the MLC. It seemed as though the ghosts could decide when they were ready to move on. That was different than others have portrayed and also inconsistent with how it was portrayed earlier in the series. It never sounded or seemed like it would be their decision when they wanted to leave. It could be that what gave them that flexibility was being under contract with the MLC but that was never laid out. The children in the end who the MLC and Female Lead Character (FLC) indicated were reincarnations of the ghosts, it never showed how that transpired. Their son was a surprise and they alluded to him being a reincarnation of the general but that was not further discussed so it made it a bit awkward. The fact that he was working as a traditional magician and learned from the ground up from his former nemesis was an interesting angle but, as always, I was disappointed he lost his her abilities. I did like that it showed he was a lot more caring toward his employees based on what learned from the ghosts. The FLC was a kick butt detective and I loved that about her. I liked the reincarnation angle and thought it was amusing when he lived through his past life and came out of his coma all mushy and I love you princess. I thought, when she was out for awhile at the end that her experience going back and experiencing her former life as the Princess might result in her talking to him and indicating she understood how he was feeling when he was so over the top with her. It was a bit inconsistent that the MLC went back to the past and interacted with the Princess and she wasn't more surprised about this time traveling visitor. She sort of accepted it and even expressed feelings for this future version of her current love.
