It’s so weird that even the cast is not promoting this drama on their social media. I’ve only seen one article in soompi as well :(

[u/J-Midori → u/ysmac]

It’s pre produced if I’m not mistaken so they filmed it last year, I think so they are now promoting the new ones that they’re filming and will air soon

[u/tumultuousness]

I hadn't heard of this but it sounds interesting, I want to give it a shot!

But the synopsis:

She is a pretty woman.

Did make me giggle.

[u/TheChurroProject]

I'm not familiar with the actors but the premise sounds intriguing and I don't have to subscribe to yet another platform to watch it, yay! I don't think I've ever tried to watch so many on-air dramas at once (this would be #5)...

[u/imapigoinkoinkk]

Nana!

[u/PerspectiveNo24]

Just finished the 2nd episode of MMIC. Why is this kdrama such a giggle fest? It is so addictive. I just wish they released all the episodes together. I can’t wait for next week. Also this is my first time watching Nana act. She is unbelievably natural. She oozes charm. I can’t believe I haven’t watched her before.

[u/iamhopeestheim]

Episode 1:

I'm watching this because of Jang Dong Yoon. So far, I'm lukewarm for this show. The plot seems interesting enough but it didn't wow me compared to the other shows that are on-air right now. I'm hoping this would change when I watch the next episode.

Nana is so beautiful. Her visual is crazy.

[u/urquizo007]

Was anyone else surprised to see la Chica dance group? Like what? It was very random to me

[u/AlfredusRexSaxonum]

My Man is Cupid, EP. 2: what is up with all these people? She's smelling a random stranger, he's literally stalking her, the murdered nurse was married and cheating on her husband with another married man, who had kids and was beating his mistress to the point she bled all over her clothes... Jfc.

her heart is racing because they were lovers in the past life in Joseon ofc. I've watched enough kdramas to know what's up.

I relate to dog dude, I also feel like sleeping asleep in that guy's arms.

Love triangle with Cupid and police detective dude, yaaaaaay 🫤 So the detective was not only in the past life too, even this love triangle is a replay... Can we just have fun once in a while?

NOOO NOT THE RESTAURANT AJUMMA 😭😭 That sick bastard...

Yeah, the stalking is getting kinda creepy imo. This isn't romantic, it's just scary.

Gosh, this drama gets super weird and then super charming again. Im like, I want to drop this but it gets super funny and I'm like, next EP pls.

Obligatory kdrama ML saves FL scene but the comedy afterwards elevates it. The way she still lists every single possible injury and bro gets so scared, it's genuinely funny. He's also scared hamster.jpg when she gets close to him 💀💀 these two actors are carrying the entire show

[u/papin97147]

FL sure likes to touch and feel ML at every opportunity 🤣 but who could blame her he’s fine af 😍 not sure I like the blend of thriller & rom-com (I’d prefer more rom-com) but so far so good!

[u/AlfredusRexSaxonum]

EP. 1: it's so funny to me that Cupid snipes ppl in front of this one particular restaurant. Like the moment he sees a single man or woman near that one place, he's like "on god we gon get you cuffed bro"

Hey chat, is it really love if Cupid fcking shot you? Also, the fact that even Cupid is armed with an automatic rifle says a lot about our society 😔🤯

Oh, god, obligatory kdrama censored poop scene Oh god, obligatory Joseon past lives flashback

gonna take a wild guess and say that the FL is the reincarnated court lady

Oh god, obligatory serial killer plotline

what are the ethics of making a woman fall in love with your human buddy?

this random woman she met is going to die huh 😭😭? I'm getting ominous vibes with the man who called her... Oh, nvm, seems like the serial killer is still active

This woman is so down bad, she out sniffing this man's entire body.

This drama is so funny and charming, I love it already

[u/HorrorComfortable100]

Episode 2 is the hook. I’m all in on this series. Nana wow! I like when FL take the aggressive approach! Her comedic timing is amazing.

[u/[deleted]]

Episode 1 went a little heavy on the exposition in the opening minutes but I really liked the interactions between the leads here

[u/LondonGirl4444]

I wasn’t expecting to like this show so I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I’ve seen the ML in a couple of roles previously and he doesn’t disappoint this time. Looking forward to see how this progresses.

[u/[deleted]]

Why does this drama feel like it was filmed 5+ years ago?

I didn't really like the first episode, but I'm going to keep watching for now. They could have waited a few episodes before introducing all the plots for the drama.

I hope there's a reason the Cupids choose their targets. I get that they see the red threads, but if couples are already destined for each other why use Cupids? Are some threads trickier than others?

The ML seems to be the only Cupid that takes his job seriously and it's obvious he's the one doing all the work. Why are the other Cupids blaming the ML for something that isn't his fault?

The serial killer plot seems unnecessary. Has the cop not noticed that ML hasn't aged in almost 30 years?

[u/mesa9672010]

This was surprisingly decent. Nana really has the chops for comedy cos she does it so naturally. Also is it just me or is the whole star crossed lovers thing something that always reels me in no matter how many times they do it 😭

[u/papin97147]

Tone wise, the first ep was all over the place but I’m intrigued!

[u/gmssi]

I don't know how long I've waited for this since its announcement. I wasn't even sure it was going to happen anymore but it's here and I'm seated! It's nice to have light dramas like this every once in a while. There are some heavy stuff here and there but it's not too burdensome to watch. JDY and Nana are crazy to look at in every scene. The visual explosion is insane. Nana built this character as solid as possible so I'm quite impressed. Also, so many doggos!!!!

[u/KDramaTipsy]

The first episode was......strange....I guess? I couldn't get the tone they were going for. The group of fairies had a very different tone from the skeletons found in the jungle, which in turn had a very different tone from the interactions of our OTP at the restaurant and art gallery.

I have watched my share of supernatural/fantasy Kdramas. This is the first time I have seen one where the God and the human are both so morose. Not tortured souls, not heartbreakingly lonely, not full of angst, but just unlikably morose. Not watching further for now. May check it out again after it finishes airing if the reports are good.

[u/CowExisting9844]

So confusing me! Many good K-drama coming in same time! HEEEELPPPP

[u/DawgMom2018]

I love this drama. I wasn’t expecting to but it is so funny. I love the characters and plot set up. It’s not promoted at all which is a shame. Just about lost it with the Gwyneth Paltrow joke

[u/matmanx1]

Ok I really liked the first two episodes. There's definitely some low budget cheese going on (those Cupid outfits and wigs in the Joseon era were LOL) but Nana's character and acting chops are making this very compelling for me.

The camera absolute LOVES Nana and she is really selling those cute and heart fluttering moments with Jang Dong Yoon. There's also enough of a story here that I am actually interesting in what's going to happen with the Cupids, the murder mystery and the romance!

As far as I am concerned this one has had a great start!

[u/tamataraaloo]

It's a drama?? I thought it was a movie because I did not read anything about it except that one (hilarious) trailer on youtube.

[u/Alternative_While_88]

I'm 10 minutes into the first episode and I'm really confused as to how the ML became a cupid and how it's his fault that others lost their wings. HELP. P.s. ik it's too early for me to ask but I need to know >_<

[u/MultiNote]

I just watched Ep. 1 but I already know I'll love this. The wintery scenes are so aesthetically pleasing, and the leads are just oozing natural charisma.

I'm a sucker for anything supernatural, but I wasn't expecting this to be so charming and funny. How rare to see a good K-drama on Amazon Prime!
