What a banger of a first episode
I was invested in the first 5 minutes. What a delicious pair. I love the arrogance and downright zaniness of the ML. He reminds me of a much prettier Dr. Evil. He is cold, demanding, exacting and loves to play mind games. Evil? That remains to be seen, but somehow I doubt it.And our heroine launched herself into the episode with all the explosive ferocity of a tiger. I love a woman who can kick ass.
And I'm amazed at what a great-looking and convincing dude she ends up being. It's less the fact that she looks like a man and more that the majority of idols look so pretty. In fact, I would be hard-pressed to say who is prettier, the ML or the FL.
I'm totally looking forward to this one.

Tis the season
Love in Disguise is an excellent drama. That is my one liner - in full... I can explain the rest of why I think this drama is so amazing below. I just wanted to briefly share that it is really good, and if you are looking for a 'should I watch... or should I not...' I would lean towards the should watch.I was on the fence for watching this, simply because I am a busy person. I forgot the reason I watch dramas is because I want a break, and like to watch them for some relief.... recently not a lot of dramas have done that - korean wise.
I have slumps between korean, Chinese, Thai, and Japanese dramas. Right now, for the first time in a long time, there are at least one from each that I'm watching and trying to stay up to date with. Love in Disguise is one of them, and it is the one that I believe in the most.
What do I believe in? That this drama will follow through with its writing, production, acting... that sort of thing. I think the only thing this drama is missing is a great ost. I would see it getting more buzz like a few years back with Lovely Runner if it did have some music people would connect with.

Clichè yet enjoyable
Siwan and Seol A are both powerhouse names in the Korean acting industry. Back in May when this drama was first announced, I knew I had to watch it, as both are extremely talented with the exact range needed to pull this plot off.
Three episodes in, the show does well to characterise everyone and balance the comedy with suspense. However, I must warn you that there is very obviously elements of AI in this drama and frankly it is diminishing to the quality of the show and the actors themselves. I cannot overlook how AI is affecting us creatively, especially considering that you have two very popular, mainstream actors at the forefront of the cast, so the budget should equally represent that.
Despite this, this show is a classic return to old-school Korean drama humour, with extremely silly and funny scenes. Seol A plays a man wonderfully well, as she actually looks and acts the part too. This plot is common in manhwas in Korea, but on the TV screen it is fairly rare in terms of being good. Let's see if Love in Disguise can follow in the footsteps of Coffee Prince's original charm, or if it can carve a new place for itself.

I don't need entitled a**hats on my watchlist
If I wanted to see conglomerates and entitled a**hats treating the government and its laws like dirt, I can turn on the news. Why would I want a drama?Also, enough with the a**hat/bully boss trope. labour unions and suffragettes worked hard for basic respect and rights for all employees in the workforce. Condoning/ celebrating workplace abuse in fiction help normalise it in reality.
