Love this series ♥️
To be honest, I wonder if I will ever watch this drama no I did not like the trailer of the drama. That's why I thought the drama would not be good to watch. The main reason for my opinion was that I had never seen their drama before. That's why I thought the play would not be good.But not in words, the geniuses show their skills through their work. That's what happened here. Aqib and Aqib introduced their work through their perfect acting skills.
Their laughter, mischievousness, conversation are all perfect in one word Their chemistry is simply amazing. For such a pair of them You will be bound to fall in love with them. No one else will make the same mistake I made in the first place
At first I thought she was dumb but I was surprised after 58 minute of episode one. The girl talked ,If the first episode is such a big surprise, I wonder what the rest of the episodes will be like.
I can't wait for the next episodes...

Never a dull moment
I loved this series. I was hooked from the first episode and was invested until the very last episode. It was definitely the show I looked forward to the most each week. Everyone's acting was on point, making me second guess who I thought the villains were and what was going on with the plot. I had 5-6 correct guesses and many incorrect guesses. I usually do better than that. It was so much fun watching this and unravelling the mystery each week.Was this review helpful to you?
When the Phone rongs, anything can happen
This is one of those dramas that is more or less guaranteed to keep you on your toes, give you butterflies in your stomach and make your head spin from all the theories about who, is who, why and what will happen next.Or at least for the first 11 episodes or so, the last episode however kind of flopped and failed to live up to my expectations, offering a bit to much cringe and unnecessary stuff.
A bit of a mix of John MclCain in Die Hard 3 meets all that we love in k-dramas. Suits, great chemistry, corruption, mistery, murder, contract marriage... ohand sign language.
A great binge, just make sure to take small breaks to work on your theories between episodes. While some of the twist caught me by surprise others did not...
A strong 8,5 that could have been a 9 or a 10 for the first half but started ruling a bit down hill towards the end.
P.s I watched it with my husband, he loved it too.

It really catches you from the first scene you watch
I started watching it with my mom from ep 4 and was hooked even when I didn't know exactly what was happening.The premise is interesting and the leads chemistry is amazing, I loved seeing them learning how to get closer to one another and break the barriers within themselves and between each other
That being said... (spoiler alert)
WTF was that first half an hour of the ending LMAO. The ML playing Mambru because he pitied himself was NOT on my bingo card(? That and the chasing of ep 11 that was kind of avoidable also felt like it lasted FOREVER.
The rest of the drama, I loved it even if it took ages to get to the point

This has me hooked with the first episode
I came across this series via a TikTok and it had me wanting more and I couldn’t stop … except I caught up and now must wait for the next episode.I love these characters and the episodes just give us more bread crumbs for the story.
I really really hope this all works out and it doesn’t loose its appeal after 3-5 episodes.
but I do have a good feeling about it.
the story follows a government official who comes from a very esteemed family. He is forced to marry into a media tycoon family.
he agrees but makes a couple of conditions for his new wife. she can’t ask for a divorce, especially during a election year and no one must know she is his wife. if she breaks any of these rules … she owes him 2 billon won.
The wife he agrees to marry has selective mutism. she works as a sign interpreter for a news agency.
one night her car is hacked and she os kidnapped. the kidnapped tells her husband, he doesn’t believe the kidnapped has his wife and tells him not to call again. if he does he better have killed her.
what comes next is a battle of cat and mouse …. it will have you hooked!!!

The story line was very good
The ever show i watched, perfect story, cast, ost everything about this drama was great. In my opinion this drama was best of the 2024 , the story had lots of twist but the end was very good. The performance of actors was very good they portrayed their characters very nicely. A newbie should definitely watch this drama. I will definitely re-watch this drama for multiple times.Was this review helpful to you?
The storyline is engaging, with plenty of twists that keep you on your toes. If you're looking for a show that's not only entertaining but also gives off a positive, feel-good vibe, I definitely recommend giving it a watch.
Also, if you're into the music, the OST album is really beautiful. You can listen to it here:

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! ❤️"

Great acting
The story was great in the beginning and the acting superb. But the last two episodes were very poor and really out of order and logic. Irrational twists as we came to the conclusion. luckily the acting and the two main leads saved the production. it could have been 10/10 but something was lost in the end. Of course this is my humble opinion. But honestly I didn't find necessary this irrational indulge of the blue complexity towards the ending. So, I strongly recommend it because you get addicted to this strange atmosphere in the beginning, but prepare yourself to feel a little "babo" in the endWas this review helpful to you?
Horrible k drama writing, again
The first 4 episodes were pretty enjoyable, the writing and acting were average to good. Setting up what could be an entertaining show. 7 to 8 stars.Then it got worse every single episode from that point on. The last half of the show is pretty bad, the last episode is one of the worst of all time. People handing out perfect 10 ratings like their passing out candy on Halloween. The writing from eps 4 on is dreadful, each storyline gets dumber and dumber. Hee Joo becomes a female superhero who exits deadly situations(multiple car accidents, pushed off a cliff, multitude kidnappings, going into a war zone etc etc) over and over with nary a scratch, she should have been installed as a character in squid game so that we know who the winner will be. The male lead goes from uncaring and calculating to an emotional, jealous, idiot.
It's comical to read people saying all the unexpected twists are great and they can't wait for the next reveal. Almost every twist has been a detriment to the story since episode 4. There's 1 thing i can guarantee and that's the next twist will be stupid and unnecessary and just a lazy plot device to scrap out another episode. Ep 11 leaves us going into the finale with a 'twist' that'll be dumb just like every other one. For those of you who watch the finale you'll see that the last so called twist was the dumbest of all.

Skip the last episode
It was a nice romantic drama with some mystery and heartache in the beginning. But after episode 6 I kind of figured out everything. Too many villains piled up towards the end. No logical reason for the amount of hatred each villain had for the male lead. Everyone just wanted him to suffer even though he was a victim by their hands. All the actors did a good job with their characters and the chemistry was excellent. Overall this drama was good but just skip the last few episodes. You will know when it starts going downhill.Was this review helpful to you?

I would not waste my time...
Let me keep this short, because the more I write, the more I weep.I've had my fair share of "What the hell did I just watch?" shows, but I was left speechless with this one. The plot itself is so mundane...some guy gets a threatening phone call, and that same phone ends up in the hands of his wife.
His wife, who he deemed a mute, uses this phone to demand a divorce from him, which he eventually finds out. Great! but it was literally so easy to sniff her out, she's clearly approaching this phone call in such a personal manner, berating herself and calling out flaws about herself that only she would know.
Touching lightly on the romance part of this plot, I would say it was okay. It did not stand out to me. Don't get me wrong, there were a few romantic moments here and there, but the romance only came out best, when Hee Joo or Paik Sae On got injured, other scenes just fell flat.
It did NOT help that the last episode was complete trash. Please...couldn't we have wrapped this up at episode 11, it was a pretty good ending already. Instead we got a nightmare of a finish.
SPOILER AHEAD
Suddenly Paik Sae On goes missing (bro how did the actors read the script for the last episode with a straight face??), of course Hee Joo goes out to find her husband, believing he isn't dead..but when he shows back up on screen. BOOM he's in the military...excuse me what??
This was unnecessary, completely unwanted material in the show. The reason for doing that wasn't even that valid either. Plus, during such a sensitive time, why was the whole scenario of war portrayed in this show in such an unserious manner. It solely served to make the main character look cool, and for the main characters to reunite.
There were so many options for the main characters to reunite, she could have traced his donations and met him aboard, or better yet,why make him go missing in the first place?
