I NEED S2 ASAP

I am utterly blown away! This drama was an absolute masterpiece, a whirlwind of emotions that left me breathless. It’s hard to articulate just how incredible it was. The storyline had me on the edge of my seat, particularly the shocking revelation about Seulgi's father. The depth of his betrayal—pushing his own daughter to the brink of despair until she felt the need to stage her own suicide—is something that completely enrages me! It’s infuriating to think about the pain he caused.

Every moment felt so raw and intense, especially knowing Seulgi was a skilled swimmer; it makes me hope against hope that her act was merely a facade. This plot twist has hooked me completely, and I find myself yearning for another season to dive back into this emotional rollercoaster. You just cannot fathom the gripping heartache and exhilaration that I experienced throughout this story!

A must watch !!!

You've got to give this show a chance, it's absolutely incredible! Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Every episode is an emotional rollercoaster. The acting is so so so good. The chemistry between the two leads (Lee Hye Ri &
Chung Su Bin) is top notch. The only problem, the episodes are too short.
Open ending that leaves you maybe waiting for something more. Still, it's a happy end. That's a win so I'll take it.
Overall an amazing series
It's definitely worth it! Highly recommended. Hope for a second season!!!

The truth is that at first I thought it was going to be a common story, but when I saw the first episode it left me with my mouth open and it shocked me and I wait with great anxiety for each new episode. And the truth is that I'm intrigued as to how this story is going to end, I have never loved a kdrama like this one is doing, I simply give a ten ten to the production, the story, the characters and the actresses. I have been very captivated by Subin and Hyery, they are really professional and they act very well. From my perspective I have loved everything and I can't wait to see the next episode.

From start to end, each episode is a cliffhanger that you will really be waiting for and be excited about once its released. It never disappoints especially the ending. The plot is well-written that you will never guess what will happen next. The casts did well in portraying every emotions that their character wants to convey. All characters had good character development. Our smart heroic girlie, Jae Yi, is a damn whole amazon green forest! Seulgi, that one street smart and book smart brave girl. Yeri, our pretty lady, acting like a b1+ch but actually really cares. Kyung, a hardworking and intelligent young lady. We really need a second season. I think there's more story to tell and more plot to twist.

just because they didn’t have a kiss scene does NOT mean it isn’t a gl‼️‼️‼️

some of yall r so caught up in worrying abt being queerbaited that yall end up undermining a clearly romantic relationship between two women yourselves. just bc friendly rivalry doesn’t give you an explicit kiss or confession doesn't mean jaeseulgi's relationship isn't romantic- the way jaeyi cured seulgis drug addiction, the was she was the first one she thii oh ight of letting her know that she’s still alive- and the way they look at eachother??? this is clearly romantic, we don’t need a kiss to seal the deal this show has gave us so much more, the feelings are muchhhh deeper.

a must watch series

casting, storyline and directing was superb
actors portrayal of their characters were delivered well even the smallest details. you can feel the tension and chemistry of the leads. perfect!

the director did a great job no cringe scenes nor cringe acting by the actors.flow of the story is good that you can't predict what's next to happen even the characters true motives, views giving their own theories and guessing game. you see yourself hook by this series

Seriously, this drama is amazing! From start to finish, I was completely hooked. The acting is top-notch, and every character feels so real. The emotions, expressions, and chemistry between the actors make every scene so enjoyable to watch. The storyline is super exciting—never a dull moment! It’s full of unexpected twists, keeping me on edge the whole time. I love how it balances action, suspense, and emotions so well. It’s not just another predictable drama; it actually makes you feel something.

But honestly, my favorite part? The romantic scenes! Haha, I kept waiting for them because the main couple is just too cute together. Their chemistry is insane, and every little interaction between them feels so natural and heartwarming. The way they look at each other, the small gestures, everything is just perfect. I couldn’t stop smiling every time they had a moment together. Even when things got intense, their relationship was the highlight for me.

Overall, this drama is definitely one of the best I’ve seen. It has everything—great acting, an exciting plot, and lovable characters. I really hope we get more K-dramas like this in the future because it’s just that good! It’s the kind of drama that stays with you even after it ends. I’ll probably rewatch it again just for the emotions. Totally worth it!
