A Great Drama
The ML and FL already have a good chemistry in just 3 episodes. I hate that it only gives 2 new episodes a week. I am all in and looking forward to how attracted they become towards each other. I love that she has a connection with his daughter unknowingly. This will be one I can rewatch with a happy heart.Was this review helpful to you?
Love Scout: Where Office Sparks Fly and Fate Plays the Matchmaker
*Updated Review*Love Scout kicks off with a delightful workplace romance between a passionate headhunting CEO and her secretary.
The cast of Love Scout adds depth and charm to its already captivating storyline:
The female lead portrays a driven and passionate CEO who, despite her work-focused nature, is delightfully clumsy, unorganized, and often seen tiptoeing through life. Her mix of ambition and endearing quirks makes her character relatable and refreshing.
The male lead is a handsome, devoted single father whose good looks and charming demeanor make him the center of attention among the ahjummas at his daughter's kindergarten. His warmth and genuine nature shine through, creating an irresistible appeal.
For those familiar with his standout role in Moving, Kim Do Hoon plays the second male lead, bringing a vibrant and quirky energy as a privileged "nepo baby." His charismatic presence is sure to captivate viewers with layers of charm and humor.
The second female lead also promises to be a strong addition, and anticipation is high for how the character dynamics will unfold as the story progresses. Together, this talented cast creates a rich, dynamic ensemble that will undoubtedly keep audiences entertained and emotionally invested.
The storyline grips viewers beyond its refreshing role-reversed workplace romance, offering a deeper dive into the complexities of the headhunting industry. It skillfully explores professional challenges and pitfalls, weaving them into a well-crafted narrative that charms with its perfect blend of humor, quirks, and heartwarming romance.
The opening OST and the music are the perfect cherry on top, perfectly complementing the heart of the storyline. It enhances the entire experience, adding depth to the unfolding drama. Overall, it's an excellent start, and I’m already excited for the journey ahead. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in the coming episodes, offering the perfect blend of comfort and excitement.
I just finished watching all 12 episodes of this drama, and it was an absolute delight. The story evolves beautifully, striking a perfect balance between plot progression, character development, and emotional depth. Every turmoil and conflict is thoughtfully woven into the narrative, keeping the pacing steady and engaging. By the end, the drama leaves a warm, comforting feeling—one of overcoming resentment and regrets, embracing happiness, and seizing second chances. It’s a heartfelt journey of healing and new beginnings.

Decent at best and not for their reasons
I'll try and keep it short. A barely decent k-drama (without the last episodes), but not for the reasons they wanted it to be.The story is a bit Korean-like, aka everything is related, aka fate. It doesn't make it bad but it does make you roll your eyes, cause you can predict some plot points. The script is decent, or mostly not bad. Yet, weird. Some cringe moments. I wont talk about the last episodes, those are pure sht. They wanted something to happen so the writing was done poorly and forced things to go how they wanted, no matter if it made sense or not.
The production wants to make the headhunting a legit, good-hearted business and you can see it in every episode. If you agree or not with it, thats a subjective matter. So I wont mention it again.
The acting is decent. Nothing mind-blowing, but still very enjoyable. The chemistry between leads is not there. Not in the conventional way. The FL is not the greatest actress or charming, but I'd say she was good for this role. The script made all the heavy-lifting. Also, the script has a lot of plotholes exactly because of that. Although its not that bad as per the usual k-drama, the script for this one is plain, linear, and because of that all the bad stuff tends to be noticed more easily. Lots of questions or weird decisions. A simple example, what about his ex-wife? I wont spoil more, but if you'll watch this drama, you'll understand what I mean.
Anyway, back to the main stuff. The chemistry is not there. ML and FL make it work, barely, but there's no chemistry. I'll even say that the second FL has more chemistry with everyone around, or the chemistry (not romantic) between colleagues, or the kids. Anyone but those two :))) The character development is ok for some of the cast and very non-existent. yet heavy-pushed forward for others. And by that I mean they tell/show us: "look, she got better, don't ask, get over it". The story presses a lot of "social injustice" (dunno how else to name it) upon us, a cheap trick to make the viewer sympathetic. yet, I've felt more in some other scenes. Like I said, a weird script. Good, but not for their reasons. The supporting cast did ok. The soundtrack is meh at best. Forgettable. Lots and lots of whispered, soft-breath mumbling. Sorry, I meant singing. The production value is mid. The cinematography is mid, with some few moments of "good". And lastly, dunno about the pacing. A bit slower, sure, but thats the right way for this script. It helps with the development. And yet, it goes too slow sometimes, and next it gets to a normal (our normal) pacing for no real reason. And yes, every episode will feel like it took forever, so be patient.
And I guess I'll stop here. You could give it a try, but don't mind the synopsis, because what makes it decent is not it. It gets a rating of 6, barely. Mostly because some character arcs, some nice acting from the supporting cast and things like that. Return value? No, not really.
PS: Oh, I just remembered another thing that makes no sense. I'll write it here. In the first episodes she is shown like a "klutz", always bumping into stuff, forgetting stuff. Guess what? She gets magically cured. Nice char development. Yeey. *sigh* Yeah, definitely not a 10 rating :)))

The Character Development..!!!!
My first k-drama of 2025, and what, it's daebakk!!!!!As being the candidate of same field [HR] i loved how the drama have the proper balance between Work and Personal Life.
Every actor did their job so well. The romance is really top notch. The female lead's charcter, the boldness is what makes adore this drama a liitle more. Now it's completed, make me miss it even from now...it is a delightful watch that leaves you with a warm heart and a smile on your face..
Now the friday & saturday are not same anymore still,
What we get is, there are many "peoplez" around us, some makes us hate them, some makes us love them, but at the end it's a real "We" that make us love ourselves first, to grow and to be happier.

I am hooked captain! But…
The first two episodes were really entertaining to watch.The cast is great and the acting is really good. The music is nice. The cinematography is great, I love the shots and the coloring. The storyline is really interesting and I hope they keep up with it.Now what is my “but”. I am not a big fan of the female lead. I kinda find her irritating and I think it’s a good thing! Because she feels human and I want to know why she act that way, I want to know if she always been like that etc… In other words I want to give her a chance.
The male lead is great honestly I don’t have a lot to say about him that could be objective because I am in love with this man. A loving father? Yes, that’s all I needed.
I’m praying so we don’t have a stupid love triangle (I hate love triangle) and I hope we take the romance slowly. I don’t like when romance is rushed and I’m scared that they will do that.
I think I said everything I wanted. So do I recommend it? Yes I do!

Uncomplicated love story... with an amazing soundtrack! Should you watch now, skip or watch later?
"Love Scout" offers a refreshing take on romance by intertwining the complexities of the headhunting industry with an evolving love story. While the depiction of recruitment may not entirely reflect real-world headhunting practices, the drama presents an idealized version—one that emphasizes professionalism, candidate scrutiny, and ethical leadership. For those with corporate experience, this approach feels satisfying, even if it strays from reality.With four episodes in, "Love Scout" has established a promising foundation. The exploration of character flaws and the potential for personal and professional redemption keeps the audience invested. It will be intriguing to see how the remaining episodes unravel the complexities of these characters and their intertwined lives.
Update:
The 7th episode offers a refreshing portrayal of blossoming feelings. The Female Lead (FL) gradually develops feelings for the Male Lead (ML) at a slow and steady pace. Her awareness of these growing emotions is evident, yet she struggles to embrace them, seemingly feeling undeserving of such affection.
The paper cut serves as a metaphor for the pain of separation. Just as the cut stings, the ML felt the growing distance between them. Her subtle expressions of kindness, such as her smiles when assisting him, and her unwavering honesty, revealed the true depth of their emotional connection
By episode 8, the romance shifts into awkward yet humorous territory, bringing lighthearted moments to balance the emotional weight of the story.
However, episodes 11 and 12 feel somewhat rushed, as if condensing too many resolutions into a short span. While a full 16-episode run might have risked dragging the plot, an extra episode or two could have given the ending more breathing room.
The sound track is awesome!
You should watch now!

IT IS A MUST WATCH
If you're wondering if it this show is as good as people say, this is the sign. I love this show very much from the time I saw the cast and the trailer, and trust me it's worth your time.The slow burn romance is very exciting and the cast fit in together greatly. You can feel the chemistry from the lead actors from the moment they meet and you get a heart fluttering moment every time they are on screen together.
The story is also very unique. I don't think I've ever seen a plot like this from all the shows I've watched. I totally recommend it to anyone looking for something new and fresh to watch.

Currently Watching KDrama
Starting to watch this drama because of Han JiMin Eonni, and somehow I hooked with ths story so far till episode 2. Love the male lead (I never watch her projecy before, apologize befor hand) as a single father who fight and trying his best for her daughter. And then BOOM! He become a secretary, yes! A Man Secretary for Female CEO which is uncommon in KDrama Land who's going to entangled by romance in the upcoming episodes.Han JiMin-ssi here plays as a headhunter CEO who seems like stiff and good at her job yet she is clumsy and has a sensitive spot where she left by her father due to condition at that time. And here the male lead gonna be able to soften her.
I hope there won't be any mislead or whatever again for this drama. I'm still disappointed by WTPR.

Tranche de vie réaliste ainsi qu'une romance mature et réconfortante…
Sur le papier, Love Scout ressemble à un tranche de vie quelconque. Pourtant, grâce à son scénario fluide, ses personnages bien écrits et interprétés, ainsi que sa romance mature, il en ressort une histoire rafraîchissante avec une touche de réalisme et un couple charmant.Kang Ji Yun (Han Ji Min) ne ressemble en rien à la PDG froide et insensible que les scénaristes aiment nous servie en temps normal. Au contraire, c'est une femme inspirante et aspirante qui avance dans un secteur particulièrement compétitif. Son travail, elle le maîtrise jusqu'au bout des doigts. En revanche, lorsqu'il s'agit de prendre soin d'elle ou d'accorder une attention aux gens et ses employés, c'est une autre paire de manche. Elle ne vit que pour son travail, espérant que cela pourra apaiser la douleur qui la ronge depuis toutes ces années. La voir évoluer et faire le deuil de son passé a été un moment incroyable. Elle méritait d'enfin faire la paix avec elle-même. Han Ji Min a offert un personnage parfaitement équilibré.
Yoo Eun Ho (Lee Jun Hyuk) est un père célibataire dévoué et efficace dans son travail. C'est un homme gentil et d'une affection immense pour sa fille, Yoo Byeol. Cette dernière passe avant tout le reste et cela ne fait que rendre Yoo Eun Ho que plus attachant. Ses débuts en tant qu'assistant vont le mettre à l'épreuve. Cependant, tout comme Kang Ji Yun, il est capable de s'adapter et parvient à prendre le train en marche. Il en profite même pour amener de la nouveauté, permettant ainsi d'améliorer les conditions de travail de chacun, mais aussi une meilleure efficacité dans leurs travaux respectifs. Yoo Eun Ho est un homme charmant qui vole des cœurs. Lee Jun Hyuk a été fantastique en tant que père dévoué, mais aussi qu'homme voleur de cœur.
Leur relation n'a cessé d'évoluer au fil des épisodes. Leur histoire connaît quelques scènes marquantes. Ma préférée reste celle où Kang Ji Yun s'est tenue droite devant lui et n'a pas sourcillé en lui disant qu'il lui plaisait et que cela affectait son travail. J'ai adoré voir cette femme assumer si fièrement ses sentiments, sans essayer de jouer la carte de la minauderie ou autre cliché mielleux habituel.
C'est une romance qui sonne réelle parce qu'on croit aux sentiments qu'ils dégagent. C'est ce qui rend les tranches de vie si particuliers pour moi. Ce réalisme qu'on aime fuir, mais qu'on aime aussi retrouver de temps à autre. Tout est centré sur les personnages, car ils sont l'intrigue et non l'inverse. La partie boulot prend autant de place que le reste, parce qu'elle leur permet d'avancer et de progresser. Le tranche de vie, c'est un morceau de vie d'un quotidien quelconque, et pour cette raison, ils sont si précieux (s'ils sont bien réalisés).
L'histoire est fluide et ne traîne pas. Les désaccords sont résolus dans un temps imparti honnête et de façon intelligente. Les clichés habituels sont balayés au profit d'une narration simple, sans grandes crises de larmes ou de scènes absurdes. Certes, le lien d'enfance est présent, mais il permet à FL d'avancer dans sa vie et surtout, elle n'en profite pas pour déverser sa haine sur ML. Ce qui aurait été le cas en temps normal.
Pour finir, le format de 12 épisodes a été parfait. Il n'en fallait ni plus ni moins. Le rythme était excellent, trouvant une bonne répartition entre le travail, la vie de famille et la romance. Ma seule question reste le titre que j'ai du mal à saisir.
En bref, Love Scout est un tranche de vie honnête avec ses tracas et ses bons moments, le tout dans une romance mature et réconfortante qui partage une superbe alchimie et au casting merveilleux.

ainda em andamento.
estou amando a experiência de acompanhar os dois, ambos são muito divertidos e complexos de formas diferentes.ainda acredito que tenham algo que os uniu no passado, só ainda não revelado como foi.
estou adorando acompanhar a "queima lenta" dos dois e como cada um reage aos momentos juntos.
queria muito que não demorasse a semana toda para vê-los mas fico contente quando finalmente chegam as sextas e sábados.
espero me surpreender de uma forma positiva com o drama!!
