Hypocrisy at its peak
I hate this propaganda series.The premise says that ml and fl both had prejudice against the opposite sex. But it the fl's hypocrisy and hatred towards the opposite sex that is the main focus point of the show. So she fucked around 100+ guys for whatever reason. Apparently she picks out bad guys and sleeps with them then dumps them for revenge or something.. basically she is a sex addict and loves twisted guys. When reporters surrounded her and questioned her behaviour , guess what her answer was?.
Apparently, she was buying vegitables from the market.. she was trying the find the true one by sleeping with as much guys as possible.. wtf????.
The ml is simp. Typical trope " different from other girls" " ready to give up everything for a slut"
Look I am all for flawed main characters, but that flaw should be seen a flaw by the show and rectified by the end. here the supposed flaw is celebrated by cast.. they telling you that a sex addict independent woman is the definition of a modern woman..
How much brainwashing has been done to the society that this show is rated this high.
It is the funny the flag bearers of feminism are becoming what they supposedly hate the most- female version of a womanizing bad guy.. sad

Practically Perfect in Every Way
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DRAMA.FL and ML were perfect and so was the supporting cast!!. I haven't binged a show in a minute and this was worth me being tired tomorrow morning at work. I initially watched b/c of Kim Ji Hoon and he is outstanding here as Do Won but I fell in love with Yoo Teo, as Kang Ho. Have never seen him in anything else but he was so good and his smile is to die for!!
Mi Ran is hilarious and played brilliantly by Kim Ok Bin. I liked that she's tough and knows what she wants out of a relationship.
The best part of this romcom aside from the cast is that there are some genuinely, laugh out loud funny scenes in almost every episode. I loved that the ADULTS behaved like adults in a relationship and things were not awkward when they confessed to each other.
There were just so many things done right in this drama. Also, loved the fact that it's sweet, simple and 10 episodes.

Typical but Not Typical Rom Com
It was the typical girl meets boy, they can't stand each other in the beginning, boy has some sort of issues to work through, they are thrown together through an "arrangement," and end up falling in love.It was not typical in the female lead's character. Strong, independent, a fighter, she doesn't just take on the role society has deemed she should have. Her character is what kept me going through the series. I loved Kim Ok Bin's Mi Ran!!! Feisty, stubborn, physically talented, a brain, witty, always there for the underdog. I loved this character. She wasn't unsure, lacking confidence, overly needy, or any of the other stereotypical female roles that you usually find in rom coms.
Also good in the series, the supporting characters, although I think their storylines could have been expanded. It was a really good, funny, feel-good, all-around enjoyable rom com, and I would highly recommend it. The actors all did well in their parts.

Hilarious and cute romance with amazing chemistry
I was hesitant to watch this as I didn't know any of the leads except Go won hee and i also don't watch mature rom- com, but then tried to watch this after reading all the reviews and I'm not regretting at all.I was hooked from first, never felt bored.. completed in 1 day.
First time a mature rom-com I liked wholeheartedly,
from first to last it's truly enjoyable, it has everything, from action to romance to comedy, slow burn romance but the story is really fast paced as it only has 10 ep.😍♥️...
Everyone has amazing chemistry and they're so natural... everyone should give it a try. 9.5/10 from me, minus 0.5 for not having more episodes..

amazing drama
Really really loved this one. All major characters are likable, which is a big thing for me.It's also has a very good pace in the story, it does not feel like nothing his happening, but neither are there to many things at once happening. There is a really good balance. The story itself is also pretty good. Not a big fan of the 'not-like-other-girls' kinda thing that is going on, but it's not too much of a hazard. Both main characters have bad opinions on the opposite sex and they both change the other within their meetinsg and relantionship.
Most definentely worth a watch.

Fun little enemies-to-lovers
This is how you do enemies-to-lovers properly and in an entertaining way. I enjoyed this drama a lot, it was fun and entertaining, swoonworthy and I really liked our main couple. They were so chaotic and fun to watch and their chemistry was GREAT. The second couple was a bit confusing and to be honest.... I truly think they broke up after the last episode, no way they lasted because the way they acted in the show?? no. I wouldn't want to put up with all that. Anyway, the music and story were really cool and fun, and I do see myself rewatching this for the main couple; their love felt passionate and sincere! <3Was this review helpful to you?
Firstly the drama needs to have a story female lead
Secondly the acting and humor quotient.
And this drama stands out in both of them. Nothing is more exciting than to watch a drama with a female lead protecting the male lead. Macho female is the need of the hour and so glad the director understand that.
The story stands perfectly amusing without dragging it much with just 10 episodes. The chemistry is okish the romance is their but not the descendent of the sun kind. It was a decent watch.
Some characters of the drama were left midway- The niece her back story was needed.
Though I am glad they didn't marry at the end that would have made the whole plot flop.
You should watch this if you liked strong girl Do-Bong So.

While there is no shortage of heroic male leads in our favorite dramas, Love to Hate You gives the audience a refresher with Yeo Mi-ran, a young lawyer who hates losing to men. Her strong disposition and comical relationship with A-list actor, Nam Kang-ho, makes for an entertaining series viewers will be sure to enjoy.
This drama is slightly shorter with only 10 episodes to carry the storyline, but for the number given, the show does an excellent job defining its characters and their stories. The pacing of the series felt good and it was easy to keep up with the events as they unfolded.

A good laugh with sweet mature romance
This drama was super fun. I loved every moment watching it and it was only 10 episodes so it didn't even take me long. To be fair I was watching it whenever I had a free chance lol. The first episode hooked me in with mi ran being a girl boss. It was interesting to see both mi ran and kang ho change throughout the series and I loved seeing them fall in love. The show got funnier as it went on and the ending was so cute. There were i guess plot twists at the very end which lowkey had me stressed. I also love how we got a fake dating, enemies to lovers, and one-bed trope, my favs. It was a very mature romance and I love how they cleared up any misunderstandings. I also loved not having so much stress over second leads. Overall an amazing drama, so funny and so cute.Was this review helpful to you?
A true melodrama after a long time!
After looking my pending list and seeing this drama in that list, made me realize I had put it away for an long considering the hype when it came out so I gave it a watch right away without a second thought.The cast was new to me except for Go Wonhee whom I love. The story is female centric yet a lovable ML, his friend, the law firm people and the celebrities that cameo-d. Although the story progresses a bit late for the leads yet the wait time is justified for them as well as the 2nd leads plus the story is entertaining for we get to see a new side of the FL. Mind you, she is not an usual kdrama romcom character. So the story is engrossing. Considering it a Melo, some parts are cliche, part of the story you feel you know this plot coming already, but that can be ignored as the acting and the chemistry is top-notch. I would definitely recommend it.

Enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed it! So much that I kept thinking about it yesterday all night long, which is kind of really impressive for me! But then again it isn’t a 10 stars for me, even though I enjoyed it so much. Because there were some scenes which were really cringey, but I kind of think I’m sometimes a sucker for that, when I really vibe with the characters so yeah...I also figured out for myself that I really like the fake dating trope!!! And overall I think they had a pretty good chemistry! That's why I would consider that as a comfort drama for me, because I think I could rewatch this so often and I would still like it!

A realistic romance that reflects modern real life values.
I ended up really enjoying this, which surprised me because the synopsis and trailer made it look like it would be pretty cringey. I also hadn't really seen many good reviews. But I ended up enjoying every episode and definitely tearing up unexpectedly a few times.This is a real romance, with a spotlight on the gendered double standards in dating.
Although the characters and setting aren't "everyday", the romance is definitely more realistic than most, and the show really throws aside the facade of "no s*x before marriage" that a lot of Korean romances put up.
Instead of hours and hours of tension waiting for the romantic leads to finally kiss, the tension and drama comes from external forces.
I'm not sure what it was, but something about the male romantic lead suddenly felt off in the later episodes and that feeling never quite went away. Perhaps it was that his character development stalled at one point and they never continued improving him?
