So Embarrassing
I couldn't watch it after 8th episode.Starting episodes were kinda funny and interesting & I was hoping that I'll get to see some cute romcom...BUT Damn!!! I was totally wrong.
The way they pulled pranks on FL and she did nothing! She didn't even have self respect? I guess the writer forgot to add confidence in Female Leads. Both of them seems STUPID! one is destroyed her own career by throwing her Heels on a Superstar & other one wants to meet her ex-bf again and again! I mean why??
Both Male leads were fighting over one women who looked timid most of the time.
I've seen Soo Young in RunOn, she was pretty good in that drama but in this one... Omg! She gets humiliated in every single episodes and continue to shoot that show. Why ? Just for a little time fame ? When ML's fans was cursing her, whenever they get chance they beats her up, she's still willing to shoot just because of money or what? ( Her mother even called her if she needs money) I couldn't understand her reason at all. Why the hell she wanted to be hated from the whole nation!
Choi tae joon... I don't have much to say about him, his character was jerk most of the time.
Overall it was so embarrassing and frustrating to see a FL without any self-esteem & confidence. I expected a lot. My bad!
Why there's *Strong FL* in tags. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Toxic tsundere - pass
I gave this five episodes because of the bright, funny start. I genuinely laughed often in the first couple of episodes, and the concept displayed real promise. But it quickly settled into a misogynist pattern of abusing and mocking the FL while excusing the ML for being a thoroughly nasty piece of work. The "pranking" session coming after the FL was egged and floured was actually quite brutal, but it did not signal any change for the better in the treatment of the FL. With no improvement by the end of 5, it became another "life is too short" moment, and I was glad to dump it.Was this review helpful to you?
Just a toxic drama with weak leads
This is my first time to rate a series this very low. I hate how the storyline goes, but here are my comments:- Both character of the leads were weak. The FL is a pushover, pitiful and just frown on the side. Like come on, why would you push yourself to live in the guy's home at the very least. She's so troublesome and her acting was really off.
- There's no chemistry for both leads. I don't feel the care from ML towards the FL and vice versa.
- Nothing but a toxic storyline, focused on the love of the ML to his past lover.
I really tried to bear watching this series but I came to understand why other stations did not accept this to air way back 2018.

I really love this
Even though the plot is a bit cliche the storyline really makes me wanna keep watching (I’m a sucker for enemies to lovers so this might be a little biased).It is supposed to be a lighter drama so the acting gets a little awkward sometimes but it’s really not that bad and makes it a lot funnier.
I think the only complaint I have is about the soundtrack. Like, really they did the worst possible job, some of the songs/sound effects REALLY break the mood.
Overall, I would recommend this kdrama for someone who’s already used and likes this style, but not as someone’s first.
I’ll definitely keep watching!

Not to my liking
I dropped this drama at ep 10 cuz i just couldn't stand how cheesy the characters were or how cliche the show was, the first few episodes were great then it got boring until i dropped it .it's just your typical rom-com I hate you turn to i love you ,The second couple 😪 ,The FL acting was also bad .
I cound't feel her emotions either she was sad or anything
To be honest this drama was a shame
After waiting for like what- 3,4 years to release this was just not my cup of tea
Dunno this is just my thoughts
Overall if your searching for a drama to waste your time this is the drama
Let me know if it helps

Frustrating and boring
I have survived 9 episodes . Now couldn't care less about this drama... Its not worth ur precious time. Watch something else. If u love the actors then watch their some other work not this.The drama is somewhat a hit or miss for me. The leads lack chemistry....n the pacing at which their relationship is progressing is super slow......n the male lead is somewhat a jerk n it is only in episode 8 when I seem too like him a little....the second female lead is so pitiful she has no self esteem or confidence n somewhat always confused as to who she likes the male lead or the best friend n that creates war between both the men .. I mean just make up ur mind or leave!.....girl..you are ruining their friendship..n the story line makes me like the best friend who is supposed to be the antagonist for our male lead...n not like so much our male lead... Something is definitely wrong .... But that being said...the drama also gives you the old school romantic k drama vibes... The leads are super attractive , our female lead is strong and independent who can stand up for herself and the ost is beautiful....but still the Chinese movie still holds better.

lOve IT
The series is rounded out by an awesome cast, nice music, a wonderful storyline, and great chemistry between the leads. It's safe to say that any K-drama fan is unlikely to come out disappointed. I enjoyed the romance in the series both leads are just amazing . Comedy is just perfect with the romance. Only love from my side for this drama only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only love only loveWas this review helpful to you?
Two words: Very Boring
Well well well.... 6 episodes have aired already but nothing important has happened yet. The plot is too common and slow paced. The acting is not that good either.Is it boring? Yes
Is the main female lead annoying? Very
Can we expect the future episodes to be better? Ummmmm......I don't think so. No.
Is it worth the watch? No
Am I gonna drop it? Yes
Just watch it if you're a fan of Choi Tae Joon (can't give you more reasons to watch it other than that).
Oh! and if you're a fan of the female lead (Choi Soo Young) go watch 'Tell Me What You Saw' (100% worth the watch).

Weak Performance. Weak Anti Fan
You get the biggest emotion when opposites end up pushing each other away the hardest and this show just starts out way too weak. The acting lacked conviction and powerful emotions. It missed out on opportunities to be witty and failed to surprise my low expectation. It's suppose to be a fun, even crazy, emotion filled drama but ends up mild, soggy, predictable, hitting all the usual k drama romance cliche along the way in a rather uninspiring manner. I'm on episode 8 and I'm starting to skip scenes. I'm considering dropping yet another one of these TV dramas. So far I've watched 3-4 TV dramas and have dropped all of them around halfway. Very disappointed with the kind of lackluster scenes that are coming out now. Give me some energy and an exciting, refreshing story and acting, not this weak stuff that's too afraid to be more. We need shows that reach for the stars, not ones that are just made to fulfill a quota like "hey, we need to make five love dramas this year, here's one more". This is BORING, be better! One of the biggest issue with these TV dramas is that all of them seem to force themselves to stretch what they can do. Like the show only actually has 6 episodes worth of content but they stretch it to 16-20 episodes, that's why it comes out thin and weak. Tight editing, action pack, juicy scenes, cliff hanging that makes me want to immediately watch the next. Not stuff that makes me keep wondering why I keep bothering to watch, like am I THAT bored, always questioning myself.Was this review helpful to you?
Can you watch Main lead getting insulated Over and over again?
So disappointed with Sooyoung and Choi Tae Joon. How can they choose this kind of drama? Why?For them , it may seem chance to show their versatility but no it's NOT!
Poorly written drama ...were those writers rookies or what? How can they write, how can directors direct and how can actors act in this kind of drama ? I'm shocked !
Each and every character was filled with flaws except ML's Manager.
Everyone's behaviour towards FL was frustrating and what she did for herself was
more frustrating. It was so annoying to see FL get insulated over and over again.
How can this crap personality became main lead. Without any self esteem. She doesn't know how to stand up for herself?
And that male lead...his behaviour towards FL was moody . She should've rejected him.
There was no less amount of bullshit in relationship and we got hopeless second ML and FL.Woah !!
She was so timid and he should be single for life.
Dropping this drama with 0 regret.
If you can handle others insult and frustrating characters with abusive relationship just for Fun then watch it.
Otherwise don't even think about watching this.

A unique 'celebrity | star' drama
This Kdrama is not only swoonworthy but gives the viewers a lot of take-aways. For me, this drama reminds me of how important it is to be grounded and confident of your identity and individuality, so when you are at the pinnacle or hit rock bottom you can't easily be swayed by the many voices of lies and deceit that our minds are bombarded with and it serves as an anchor . This is such an eye-opener in many aspects. Like when things are tough and the outcome of our choices is unpleasant, we are not fully responsible of everything that has happened (unless it's a direct impact of your decision). We are often confronted by guilt and this is quite often a reaction to adverse situations as indirect outcome. The drama shows the reality we all go through, not only in entertainment industry, that there's always a pressure to rise to the top. How our desires consumes us changes the trajectory of our lives according to the decisions and choices we make in effect. More often these decisions are highly influenced by our hunger for fame, status and comfort. It is unfortunate that many still fall prey to the temporary gratification and lifetime effect it has over us and the people around us. Because our lives are intertwined, these kind of decisions has a negative ripple effect. I like how the title reveals many themes as the story takes a different turn, our lives is full of ironies, twist and turns too. Sometimes it throws lots of surprises and at times curveballs. How we deal (or embrace) is all about perspectives. Like practicing self-restraint does not necessarily means defeat rather a diffuser to avoid blowing things out of proportion. Hearing the right voices (e.g. truth, positivity, peace, etc) and heeding to it pays off.On the other hand, I like the strong chemistry between the lead characters (Geung-yongand Whoon Joon). The scenes and episodes are seamless and transititoned smoothly. The scenic shots has an additional impact to the story. I like how the character plays out the role is so captivating and transports viewers in that moment of time and evoke the emotions according to the situations. This drama is like an easy read book -- it does not take long for the reader to see the meaning and themes between the lines. It just jumps out and hits you so real.
So captivating that I was able to complete 16 episodes in 2 days. This surely makes it as one of the highly recommended drama in my list. Too bad it's not in Netflix!

LIGHT HEARTED AND NOT EMOTIONAL
June 24, 2021I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS DRAMA. I don’t really understand the hate. Like this was filmed 2-3 years ago and just aired this year. So I can’t see why people aren’t a fan of the plot. But I will base my review from a 2017-2019 POV.
Solid in terms of acting. The story is very fluffy, shows how celebrities life and dealing with fans. Also the darkside of the industry. Along with romance. I can say that I hope this wakes up fans cause a lot of them gets hella possessive over their idols. Like u dont own them at all.
Okay I got sidetracked, here we go:
NO SECOND LEADS NO STUPID PARENT AGAINT RELATIONSHIP TROUPE. No annoying midway break up!!! LOVE IT PRETTY STRONG COUPLE. Yea I kinda hate the doormat personality of the FL but whatever. Ill give it a pass since I love SNSD. Anyway, I HATED THE ML EP 1-9. Honestly I was so close to punching him off the roof like what an asshole.
FUCK THE SECOND COUPLE OR WHATEVER SKIPPED THEIR PARTS. If they were not there Ill prolly give this drama a higher rating. But these two JJ and the girl who cant debut for some odd reason pisses me off. Idk if they ended or whatever cuz i skipped them.
Even FLs best friend and producers love arc is so much more interesting than the “second” couple. Again I dont known if they ended together cuz I couldn’t stand their scenes.
Yea so pretty much w/o second couple : 9/10
W/them: 8/10
