Sweet romcom
I really enjoy this one. I was so light, sweet and mature. The chemistry was so good. Usually, i'll get bored with the romantic scenes toward the end of most kdrama, but this one keeps me excited and smiling like an idiot everytime the main couple was on screen. The FL was so strong and independent. There's no unnecessary drama too. I finished it just in one night (it's only 10 ep). The second leads were cute too, but sometimes i skip their part just because i was too eager to watch the main leads.Was this review helpful to you?
Great Drama
What a great drama. The lead female in this story is my kind of woman. Independent and strong and knows what she wants. The male lead is cute and shy and they make a wonderful couples. The chemistry is fantastic. The way their relationship develop is so great. When they get together, you wait each minute for the romance. Each character makes the story sincere and realistic. The second couple makes it sweet and you enjoy the drama even better. The story twist and turns and the ending which is surprising make you enjoy this drama. I love this drama and the well written story.Was this review helpful to you?
Please I couldn’t watch it any faster if I tried
This was honestly so good. Great acting, plot and music. I even enjoyed the clothing and the action sequences. Loved the actors and actresses. I just kept saying just one more episode. Definitely would watch again. It’s also a very quick watch. Each episode ended on a slightly amazing cliffhanger. Except the ending which did its job well.Really liked how it was realistic yet over the top. Showed us what it’s like to be a modern woman and a man who understands not every person needs a second chance. PLUS ITS SO FUNNY MY GOODNESS!
Do yourself a solid. Give it a go!

The feel of a classic K-Drama with a feminist twist
This show really blew me away. Where do I even start? This felt so reminiscent of classics like Secret Garden and Coffee Prince with the slapstick style humor and hilariously ridiculous scenarios these mcs would find themselves in. However unlike the classics where the female lead was always helpless and poor and in need of a man's help, here we find Miran, a lawyer who beats up thugs and deals out justice on her own terms. She's so refreshing and funny that it's impossible not to love her from the start. The male lead on the other hand takes some warming up to since he comes off rather misogynistic at the beginning. However, once you learn of his past trauma and start to see his walls come down, it becomes hard not to fall for this pair. These two together are what make the show so brilliant. The chemistry, the dialogue, and the way they look at each other all felt so natural and kept me hooked through each episode.It's been a while since I watched a drama that clearly captures what it feels like to let yourself fall in love as an adult and this drama achieved this perfectly. I loved every scene between the main leads and felt like the show did a great job wrapping up their story.
My only complaint would be the side-couple. Personally they didn't do much for me and I didn't care for either of their friends. I know kdramas always like throwing a half-assed side couple at the end but spending like 15 minutes on them in the last 2 episodes felt like too much. Other than that, I loved everything else about this show.

I don't what headline should i write (maybe simple and cute romantic story?)
Accidentally, i found this drama in Netflix, and don't have more expectation about it, tbh i don't know the main actor except Kim Ji hoon (i saw him from Flower of Evil) and Go Won Hee (from Welcome to Waikiki, right?)First, this drama tells the story of the relationship between an independent woman and her thoughts of gender equality with a man who is cold and doesn't seem interested in women. Because the genre of this drama is romance comedy, i think the problems is quite simple so we don't have to think too complicated to understand the problems.
The romantic scenes are quite cute and not too much. However, because there are only 10 episodes, I feel the main character's love story seems "in a hurry", especially the second lead love story (i always interested with second lead hahaha). What I like most from this drama is that there is no annoying third wheel actor in each of the characters' love stories hahaha
I also admire the FL because of her brave and independent character, and tries to solve her problems using logic but still shows her feminine side
In the middle episodes, I felt bored because the story plot was quite cliche, but that's okay because this drama is still quite entertaining.
As for the soundtrack, I think it's appropriate and quite catchy
For the acting of the characters, yeahh, there's no need to doubt it
overall, for me 9.5/10
*note: sorry my english not really good*

Rom-Com Era is back in full swing
I have been in such a slump with the recent rollout of Kdramas, because a lot of them were just too much. This one on the other hand is such a cute light watch. It has only ten episodes so you can binge it during one of those late nights where you realise its 2am and you aren't going to get any type of sleep. The story has a simple theme that is reminiscent of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and I think that is truly what captured my attention. The cast being 30s-40s also made this a little bit more refreshing. I definitely enjoyed how the female lead was very sex-positive. Overall a fun time and the OSTs are all really cute.Was this review helpful to you?
New Favorite!!
If I had a nickel for every time I've completed a Kdrama where the prominent trait of the FL was being very physically strong and it became my new favorite romance drama, I'd have 3 nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's kinda weird that it's happened 3 times.I could go on and on about every little thing I liked about Love to Hate You but we'd be here too long. To be brief, this show had all of my favorite tropes and executed them to perfection. Chemistry of the leads is crazy good. Very funny moments and great physical comedy. PHENOMENAL MUSIC, huge fan of the music in this show it honestly is a huge part of the rewatch value for me.

Actually really good
I’m surprised by how much I actually enjoyed this drama! I’m glad the ML was not a glorified misogynist he’s an actual flawed human! Just like our FL as well (to me tho shes perfect <33) the romance was indeed sweet but I think I was more immersed in the message of the drama, this FL is honestly perfect, she’s strong, smart and brave and seeing men support her was adorable but i do wish they showed women being supportive too! Her relationship with her ex is great as well! That guy grew on me, ML was annoying at first I can’t lie but I was surprised and proud of his development. I also love how short this drama is even tho the last few eps felt dragged, all in all a great watch! Highly recommend!!Was this review helpful to you?
Fun rom com romp that hits in almost all the right places
This is a fun drama full of lots of the usual romantic comedy tropes with some new ideas mixed in. It will likely be compared to Business Proposal, but it reminded me a lot more of Crazy Love, a 2022 Kdrama that is a bit of an underrated gem and also feels a little bit B side track, in an enjoyable imperfect way.The good:
-Solid performances from lesser known actors that are also a bit older than usual rom com of this flavor
-Easily consumed candy like romantic storyline and plot
-Feminist message
What turned me off:
-Honestly, the first few episodes felt very disjointed and I was not connecting with the characters at all. Especially our leads. They felt like card board cutouts and the storyline wasn’t quite clicking. I pushed through that though trusting other reviews and I’m glad I did. But really, I don’t know why it had to have such a rough start, especially for an only 10 episode drama.
-Feminist message was watered down by making such an extreme character have to be a vigilante all the time, especially for her reasons of dating around more than is socially acceptable in Korea.
-The music mostly bugged me. Especially the American style scat, doodle dee bop style songs. Or whatever you call it. Played again and again in the intro, background, and “Don’t mess up the party”. 🙄 It never stopped annoying me.
Overall a mostly enjoyable drama watch, and despite its flaws, does a much better job than many at meeting the requirements for a fun rom com of our day!

A great time
Didn't know what to expect as I did not read anything about this drama beforehand and I was happily surprised, the 10 episodes were just perfect. Not too long and just enough to tell the story. Nothing really angsty or dramatic happens here, it's all very lighthearted and cute with an ending triple bow-tied and satisfying.Actors were good and I found myself really enjoying the leads as well as a lot of other supporting casts. Well done

A super quick, fun ride!
Starting out, I didn't know what to expect from this drama. I saw some clips randomly here and there on TikTok and knew it was getting a bit popular and it looked a bit fun but that was about it. But wow this was really a short, quick, entertaining ride. I really was enjoying the drama and loving every second of it...until we got to the last episode. I just hated that it randomly switched to squeeze in one last breakup trope. I also hated how they decided to resolve it...how is it that the two main leads couldn't find a solution and the FL's ex just jumped in and saved the day? Although it was sweet and I loved that he did that, I just felt that entire episode lacking and our strong FL was suddenly a helpless damsel in distress. Didn't really feel true to the FL's character and just left a sour taste in my mouth.Other than that, this was such a cute and entertaining ride that was reminiscent of the old rom-com days. I, of course, also loved seeing a strong female lead.
