Don't waste time
The story is too messy. The leads are biggest red flag. Female leads keep cheating on her partners with multiple male. Even her acting is a bit off. Terrible show terrible acting terrible characters . Even the second leads are annoying. But the leads are more immoral. Everyone is cheating on everyone. This series is trying to normalise cheating which is very wrong to me. Episode 1 was good. But then it went downhill. I stopped after episode 8 but then again watched episode 12. This episode was so unnecessary and messyWas this review helpful to you?

Absolute crap, in terms of story development. How they could even think this story was ok, she is the worst female lead character I have ever watched, and I watched countless K-dramas. Uselessly dramatic, self centered and egoistic, doesn't answer questions, instead asks a question back, lies blatantly to everyone, even to herself and complicates everything without reason. Traumatizing everyone around her with illogical and extreme behavior. I guess it can be still true and these people do really exist but they do not deserve a whole drama on them and also still no point in how she found her happiness it's really unclear. Disappointing

Slow burn romance, anyone?
As a watcher of korean dramas, this isnt a typical one but I like it. Perharps im biased because of my love for Moon Ga. I enjoyed the slow pace of this drama. The will-they wont -they romance kept me hanging on until the very last episode. The acting was great. I have no issues with this drama. If you are looking for some very cool headed romance, the drama might just be for you.Was this review helpful to you?

Don't waste your time
The drama had an interesting plot, but it has too much unnecessary scenes and things. It could easily be 12 episodes, maybe in that way the drama would flow better.The main leads were adults and could just sit and talk about everything and resolve it. But no.
The female lead created so much drama for nothing, invented a completely meaningless and unrealistic story about sleeping with another man story just to push the two men away.
Anyway, the ending was really disappointing, I feel like I wasted my time with them.

Waste of time
Look this is the most frustrating drama all times. Just watch the first episode, and the last and maybe in between the kiss scene that all to save your time and frustration!Male lead pulled off his emotions quite well, female lead was just a sadist,
WASTE WASTE WASTE OF TIME
Lastly i dont know what kind of a happy ending this was atleast he didn’t marry SFL! The way they tease with those make out scene but they dont really show them happening is frustrating as well. So make cut scenes

It's a story about love not a love story
I went in with an open mind. It was clear from the beginning it was more of a story of life than a romance. The main characters made some curious decisions. It was frustrating but as their stories unfold some clarity is provided.They portray the ML as serious and a deep thinker. I understand ppl make mistakes but he makes a lot. His relationship with his mother is the only redeeming quality he has imo. But it makes you wonder even more about the writing. If he loves his mother this much how can he continually throughout the show hurt women?
The FL is probably the highlight of the show but she's also frustrating. She's portrayed as intelligent and reserved borderline cold. Her choices also cause pain but they dive deeper into the reasons of her choices.
I can't stress this enough it's a STORY about love, not a Love story. I recommend this if you are interested in the highs and lows of love, like and pain.

Writing so good it made me actually hate the characters
I almost stopped watching after the first two episodes but persisted. What followed was just some of the best story writing, even if at points it genuinely made me angry. As a man I absolutely cannot fathom any of the female leads decisions. I understand the 'salting the earth' strategy but of course with a male mind trying to see from the ML's perspective I was screaming for him to stay with the 2FL. Of course the message then is that the mind cannot control the heart, and his love for the FL withstood any of the sabotage that she threw his way.The cast and acting are superb, and really portray how desperate people can be for love. Outside of the 4 main leads I also enjoyed the ML's friend Gyeong-Pil's character and performance.
This drama is in a category I haven't quite worked out yet but is there with the likes of One Spring Night, Something in the Rain and The Midnight Romance in Hagwon. More real world romance situations rather than a lot of the perfect romance dramas we are used to, so I would recommend those to anyone who has enjoyed this drama.

Possibly the worst kdrama of 2023. CHEATING IS CHEATING and its WRONG.
Possibly the worst kdrama of 2023.I had finished this drama the day they ended it. But since many people are writing reviews on how they hated it. I also want to do it lmao.
Anyway, the gist of the coming long essay is-
Please Do not watch the drama even if you have a lot of time to waste cause it's not worth it. You can at least rewatch your favorite drama again instead of watching this what-feels-like-an-eternity 16-episode trash drama.
I don't understand why few of them have given 5 stars but this drama is so fucked up.
"This drama is not your regular romance cliche drama where characters do random things in the name of love" This Is so fucking funny lol.
The characters legit cheat on each other?!!! Physical cheating is CHEATING. Emotional Longing is also CHEATING. CHEATING is an unforgivable act.
If you don't like the person anymore, end things with them. Why do all kinds of cheap low shit hurt people around you?!!
Moon Ga Young's character has got to be one of the worst ones in the drama land. I know she has trauma and all that blah blah blah
BUT GIRL if you don't communicate how the fuck will the opposite person understand what you're thinking lmao. I cannot with Yoo Yeon Seok's character. Pathetic asf Lover Boy. Single-handedly ruined everything.
The drama is so slow. I legit had to watch them at 2x speed lmao.
The cinematography is good. The sets are nice. But the script is so bland and dull.
It will seem like the characters have a lot of depth. But they are hollow as hell.
Ahn Su Yeong(MGY), her father cheated on her mother. So she ends up hating him like forever. And she loathed him for cheating on her mother. But she ends up doing the same thing with her police guy boyfriend- How fucked up is that??!! How can you do something that you hate so much????!!
This is one fucked up drama. MGY's acting wasn't that promising. And I hated YYS's whiny ass. Hated almost every single character in the drama.
I only gave this a try cause I love YYS and MGY. I thought it will be a good melodrama. this led me down and was an utter disappointment

This is not a love story
This is not a romance kdrama. This is a story of 4 people trying their best to find companionship in a world that is often too cold for them.To be fair, I can see why people don't like this. The plot is very slow, the characters are quite downbeat and it doesn't seem like there's any point to watching this. People like watching kdramas to see leads get their big happy ending. But this drama is definitely one where it's more about the journey than the destination.
The main 4 characters you'll be taking the journey with are very complex, nuanced and realistic. They make bad decisions because people make bad decisions. They hold back their words and feelings because very often, it is hard to be brave and outspoken with someone you like. They get into relationships for the wrong reasons because that's what happens in the real world too. No human or relationship is perfect, and this drama reflects that.
If you want to watch this drama, you have to accept that you will be frustrated. You will be annoyed at the leads. You will wish things happened a little faster. I had all these feelings. But you also grow to understand them. You can see why they make the decisions they do, even if you don't like it. But just like you can't judge the decisions of a friend, you can't judge these characters' decisions either. You just have to let them make their mistakes and hope that they get their happy ending.
The 4 main actors did a fantastic job. They bring every facet of their character to life so vividly. And they're the main reason I stuck with it to the end. This drama has flaws for sure. It is slow and can become quite repetitive. But I liked it all the same, because it really is like a window to 4 human lives, in all their complexity and contradictions.
You'll like this if you enjoy dramas like My Mister or My Liberation Notes (though it isn't on the same level as those). If you're a traditional rom-com enjoyer, this isn't for you. There are no big gestures, dramatic plot twists or majestic words here. It's just 4 people doing everything they can to find someone they can be at peace with. If you want to see that journey, then watch this.

It was good drama
I am here to write a review as I don’t agree with the rating and honestly I put all 10 so the rating will go high but my actual rating is like 8 to 8.2This drama is okey with me or let me say my rate is 8 out of 10. I was hesitant to watch because of the low rating but I still watch because I love both the leads.
It’s melodrama that’s why it’s slow phase.
It’s so low rating because MAYBE some people are used to see the Female lead in school or teen set up drama like or not sure. Actually the Female lead role in this drama is in the mature role (Mature in Life) and I just now realized that matured role (Mature in Life not like sex and kissing scene mature role LoL) is okey with the Female lead.
And for the ending, I think it’s a bit of happy ending because the Male lead made her feel that he loves him and so the female lead do so. They let each other know that they still love each other in a different way.
So for anyone doesn’t like melodrama then don’t watch:-)

Waste of time, actors and actresses, management and resources.
This drama gat to be the worst K drama I watched.I lot of you all are so biased about k dramas. If this was a Chinese drama most of you all will have scrutinized it so badly but let's call a spade a spade
THIS DRAMA WAS STUPID AND UNNECESSARY.
Only good thing I can say that made this drama ok was the acting.
They tried to start well but ended up crashing.
It was so ducking slow, so many unnecessary stories and dramas.
I watched till the end hoping it would get better only but then again I was still disappointed.

Absolutely Nothing
Dissappointing! The writer of this drama either had never love before or trying to be 'naughty' with real love. Both Sang Su and Su Yeong were truly in love with each other, but the writer used this to turn the love upside now so that audience will want to watch till the end. The world is already suffering. Rich or poor are the same. Dramas helps to lighten one's life. But this drama did the opposite. Made everyone angry and depressed, especially the last two episodes. Don't watch the last two , waste of time as it was poorly done and communication is so poor...Like what Sang Su replied to Su Yeong in the end..'Absolutely Nothing! . The last two episodes should be removed and just hang there...it will make us feel more positive and more hopeful amd this enjoy watching. True love does not work this way ...Was this review helpful to you?
