Missed opportunity of a nice KDrama
Till chapter 12 all was interesting, then I feel the story is nice explained and have 2 scenes, later on we can believe that not "real" ones, but can be real.The ending is a shame, last 4 chapters turn in the idea that lovers only think in be platonic.
The story , for me, must end using the 2 initial scenes in chapter 9 and 12. I want this scenes to be real!
And the scenes can be part of the story, we only need to think in a arranged wedding and the, known by all sides, but secret for the public 2413 room love scene between the main actors!
And, because of this she pretend the infidelity...
I want to believe that this ending is really what happened but the director didn't have the courage to film it...

i dont know
I didn't like it even though the story was different but it wasn't good for me I was able to finish the drama because of the actors' intelligence or because of their love for the work but I was forced to play In my opinion, it should not have been much better if love didn't hurt to raise the name of the drama, understanding love I mean....and what was interesting was the end of the drama But you could have gone forward in the drama . I thought it was very simple In my opinion, the totality of the drama changed my opinion at the beginning of the best but my opinion is that it was an unexpected drama and that made it more excellentWas this review helpful to you?
Don’t waste time
One line of story been dragged so much with unnecessary twists and turns. I only watched 4 episodes completely and now only the last few seconds of preview with a little hope of the drama being interesting. But unfortunately no. Acting no doubt but without proper story what’s the point of so much efforts. DONT WASTE TIME!One line of story been dragged so much with unnecessary twists and turns.

Slow and odd
I like a slow drama but the tone of this one is confusing. Our ML seems toxic at one point, sweet at another. At 38, he's a good 12 years older than our FL but his character seems to be in his late 20s. I don't sense any chemistry between them.I have liked both actors in other dramas but i just don't have a clear sense of what the writer and director are trying for here and I can't imagine this thin story line taking up 16 episodes.
The SML isn't captivating me though i do like the SFL so far.
There isnt much buzz about this drama online and it is not surprising.

Very relatable… and yet so draggy!
Everything in this drama is relatable- especially if you’re in your twenties, a working adult trying to survive on your own in this world.The basic plot of working, trying to climb the corporate ladder to earn more money, get a higher position, buying a house, getting married etc.. it’s all included in this storyline. BUT.. the pace of how it’s unfolding is SO SLOWWWW ;) Could have probably finished the story in just 10 episodes. I’ve been watching the whole thing at 1.5x speed ;):)
There’s the office politics, workplace discrimination, society standings discrimination, family background discrimination, education discrimination.. and the list goes on. It’s really sad if this is all true in Korean culture. One of the side characters broke up with his ex of 4 years, to marry someone of his “social standing” and immediately had an affair w his ex because he just couldn’t get over her. Why marry in the first place?
The chemistry and intensity in the leads relationship is very evident though, and I like it. Very very slow burn, but we get a really good kiss scene at the end of Ep 10 ;) At this point, I’m wondering why don’t they just get together already?? Whatever was stopping them before doesn’t seem that important now. Both leads decided to start relationships with other ppl, but it turns out those were not working out either! It’s interesting because this main relationship is not your typical fall-in-love story, but rather is them cheating on their respective partners (although for me I don’t find it cheating really. )
Let’s see how the story unfolds. I sincerely hope they have a happy ending :)
Update: just completed this. The last 4 episodes were terrible. It was a drag and painful to just complete it. What started off as 7.5 has now dropped to a 6. I wouldn’t recommend this drama. Too complicated and a waste of time

Full time sympathy with both the second leads
I really don't like the drama . Specially the female lead 's character . She herself got confused and make her boyfriend and first male lead's characters confused . Drama started with the employee of the bank where a man fallen in love with a lady . The man since starting when she had joined the bank loved her . But after meeting of three to four time with him she had feeling towards him but not sure . Then one day they decided to meet at dinner . Because he confused with his feeling so he reached the venue late and by the time she had left . From there the irritating part of the drma had started . He sad story to her and confessed his love but she had misunderstood him by saying that she is dating someone but actually she had started her life with the someone. Here he also started his life with someone but he realised he didn't forget her and broke up with the relationship. She still create confusion . She didn't know to whom she had fallen in love with . what she wanted with her life and still messed with other two life . Toying with both of them feeling . Ultimately she left her boyfriend and started spending time with male lead . Drama get over.NOT FOR ME.

Who likes analytical psychology
Honestly, I've been thinking for a long time about whether to write a review. ..why? Because you can find so many reviews here that you might think it would be a portal for aspiring psychologists who write their doctoral thesis. Everything is said or written. . I go 60% with a lot of analysis, but I really don't understand the rest. The rest is that the four main actors can actually be seen from the outset. It seems that a general social problem is revealed in that one is frightened, insecure, full of doubt and naivety, nevertheless looking for the only true love, but cannot live his actually good attribute, because he had to grow up without a father and thus lacks important abilities to act. In short, he doesn't want to be seen as a mother's son. The second main character, branded, disappointed, suspicious, traumatized, full of longing but also calculating and surrendering to the seemingly inevitable fate. The two meet and are so similar that they should actually understand each other blindly and the drama could actually have a happy ending after the fifth episode. But the author wanted not just one chewing gum but a whole pack. Thus, he made both of them to remain silent or to make the audience despair with two or three dialogues per scene. I thought about all the drama 100 times, seriously now?? I wanted to cancel, but then they decided to assign an apparent test person to each of them. And two types, completely opposite from the social stand, to ask the question, what do you think? Do you think love only works with someone who is intellectually and materially equal to you, or can you overlook pre-sense views..??? That would probably be the first moral club to make you think. Only in the drama are both out and used to distract from deficits of the two main protagonists. So that the two don't have to talk a syllable more than usual. OMG .. For me, this is all very unrealistic, because it would never take place between two people, although the topic is quite real. It's like with bad journalism. The headline is not compatible with the report. The only honest character is the friend who has the objective view, but is based on false consideration, because everything seems too stupid for him.The acting performance can be evaluated neither positively nor negatively. positive, because there were only two human emotions. Anger and grief..ok ok..maybe there was off and a smile on the rigid lips and all that was played oscarriri..negative, because nobody in reality, in emotional situations, freezes to the salt pillar. And that happened more often than one would like..
On the whole, I could not understand why a topic such as toxic, cowardly, hypocritical, self-serving but also deep, intimate, perfect and honest love and affection got so little dialogue. To compensate for this, there was too little physical use through facial expressions and moving charisma.
I really like the two main protagonists, but I didn't convince myself, including drama.

Watch how a cold hearted woman hurts everyone around her
I guess the script writer had an unfinished business, avoid this drama if you can, it disguises as a romance, but really is a series of unexplained actions of a cold hearted woman that destroys everyone around her, do yourself a favor and avoid.The songs are nice. There is one song in the end which sounds like Ahn JiYoung, but it might not be her.
The only character that saves that show is the warm hearted rich girl, but she is destroyed too in this drama as well.
The rich mother and her friendship with the hero's mom is also nice, but this is just moot and does not contribute to the story really as much as it could

It began nice but endet not really good.
One thing can definitely be said from the start and that is that this drama isn't for everyone. The story is told very slowly and could have been completed after 8 episodes.In any case, it's positive that this drama is very close to reality. So problems and decisions that you and I could have made too. Love can be very complicated sometimes. The actors did an excellent job.
However, the story stuttered and nothing exciting happened. The reasons for the roles were sometimes no longer understandable. The ending was a disaster for me.
You basically wait for nothing.

Late Stage Capitalism Love
It's really hard to trust a Netflix series with inexperienced writers, in this case, it seems this drama is still the writers' only project. The combination usually results in producing flops and slops, and the pattern seems to be consistent with this one as well. It goes without saying, this explains why the dialogue was unbelievably atrocious and mind numbing. The story itself remained in a nonfunctional state throughout its run and mixing it with a half-assed social commentary piece resulted in a certified stinker. Even its creator know that it was a failed attempt so they abandoned the idea after a few episodes. Amidst all of that, somehow, they managed to create 16 episodes. I guess having the characters talking in slow-mo helped, which made it more painful in combination for how the dialogue was.Was this review helpful to you?

Narcissist personality disorder.
Thanks to the first review I read after I watched the episode, I just stopped watching!I caught right away this Manipulative Perverse Narcissist behavior!
This is good to watch when you don't know how that works but for me, having been 16 years under a husband like that, I'm done!
I already saw she was a NPD after her reaction!! But had a doubt at first when he was waiting, she was late, and she told him she couldn't come then after she saw his face, sends him a text saying she was joking : typical NPD!!!
So if you don't want to see this because you are in such a relationship, don't even watch!
For me, after one episode, I'm done.
