Totally delightful, a true treat
I am writing this after ep 1 because the summary writeup in MDL top page and the earlier MDL article for the drama does NOTHNG to convey what this drama is like.This is absolutely delightful!
What a masterpiece! such a great story and acting, and filming. So creative.
Gods prevented me from bailing out on this drama by sending me an Angel user who wrote that the script writer for this drama also wrote My Mister, which is one of my top favs.
Based on the writeup in the MDL preview article long time ago, I thought this would be a gloomy psychological melodrama - no thanks!!!!!... - but heck no! There is humor, there is depression and hunger and loan sharks, and there is sunlight and fields of flowers and new experiences and love.
Totally charming and delightful. A real art piece :) Very deep, compassionate, painful, funny, such a treat!
I give Thanks to the Great Creator and drama production team that made this kdrama possible.
I trust that this will continue in all episodes :)
Helelujah baby we got a real kdrama to watch!!!!!!!
This is an event to be celebrated - we will be watching a masterpiece being born for the next 6 weeks. Also we will be watching transformation and rebirth of ML and FL, and hopefully all the commercially oriented 8 and their entourage.

Not What I Am Looking For
Prior reviewers are singing the praises of a show whose first episode I found dull and boring. I really liked My Mister, but this show doesn't have any characters that I liked. I get it People watch shows for different reasons. Nothing in the first episode presented any reason for me to watch any more episodes. As I think about it, the cinematography bothered me. Something about the lighting made the actors look bad. Perhaps that was on purpose. As there seems to a limited number of actors that work in these series I have seen most of these actors before. Here they look old, tired, and bored. Candidly, the main reason I watched episode 1 was due to Go Youn-jung being in the cast. I enjoyed her performances in Resident Playbook and Can This Love Be Translated, and perhaps she does a great job in this series, too. I'm not sticking around to find out.Was this review helpful to you?
10/10 Painful yet gripping to watch
The first episode felt like a punch to the gut. Left me speechless. Left me gaping.The protagonist's entire personality is so fleshed out and I've only known him for a single episode.
His hidden anguish, his acidic words when putting everyone down, his forced smile when you can tell he was drowning inside. I've never felt so sympathetic and so repulsed by a person at the same time. His character is painfully relatable, the hang ups of adult life and the bleeding wound of abandoning a dream. The way he's gradually left behind by everyone he knows and yet he still shows up. The ones around him are victims of his cynicism and still no one utters a word, like slowing down so a crippled dog can match your pace.
The actor, Koo-Kyo Hwan was stellar in laying it all for the audience. The plot is griping even though it's not a thriller or a suspence genre.
I hope the storyline will be something to behold with each episode. It's been a long time since a TV series has left me swirling with every emotion.

reseña
los 4 capitulos me dejaron realmente enganchada, le doy un 8 porque todavía no se cómo será en un futuro pero por ahora promete mucho, la actuación de los protagonistas de verdad es hermosa, nos hacen sentir lo que sienten, el tipo de historia es algo único, aunque quizás sea un tipo de kdrama más ""maduro"" y no cualquiera puede enganchar con el, por ahora me está encantando y espero de verdad siga así de buena, la escenografía también es buenísima, en los momentos de ansiedad de verdad generan un ambiente que te hace sentir eso y más el protagonista que está súper bien logrado, 10/10 estos 4 capitulosWas this review helpful to you?
For SoL drama, rating cant reflect the true quality
The feeling of envy and anxiety of seeing others succeed while we continue to lag behind may feel familiar to someone today. This drama can only be felt if it's actually happening or has happened in ur life. The story will touch ur deepest emotions, and as if ur mind is busy looking for an escape through the story. The negative emotions here are conveyed satirically. The script and direction are excellent. Bcz I experienced it, yes, 100/10, maybe even 10,000/10. Ratings can't reflect the true quality. When this drama aired, I wanted to deceive myself as if we were walking together. However, what matters is real action, not just the eyes staring at the screen.Was this review helpful to you?

It is very slow.
I do not draw much attention to the four chapters that I saw, I thought it would be that I have not seen it well or that but I try to see it and I got bored, I feel that it is very slow for my taste, I like the actors, but I do not feel connection with the series, I found it boring, some may have liked it, but I do not find it slow and boring, it is like a director and I do not know that it is the protagonist, but it is not as ununderstood for me, I still do not know if I am going to change after continuing to see it, but of these 4. Chapter I could not take so much attention to her, I tried to see her, but it is not as strange for my taste, I saw that she has an 8 and that is why I thought that I was the one who did not understand her, but everyone has their tastes.Was this review helpful to you?
