Actors like Seo In Guk should stay far away from "romance." The genre is a poor match for their talents. They're…
Tbh romance is one of the harder things to act convincingly. The only reason it's thought of as easy and a waste of good talent is basically misogyny. Ik that's not what you meant, you just want to see him in a mystery thriller etc, but I just want to say, acting romance requires talent for sure

You're so right like people always consider romance a shallow and less serious genre only bc the target audience snd creators are mostly women...I've watched silce of life romance and even romcoms that have done 10 times a better job delivering emotional themes and social commentary than some action thrillers that looked fancy and were supposed to be complicated but somehow full of plotholes and with no purpose surved other than making the ml look cool
I'll give it 1 more episode before I turn this crap off. Already the theory of the kiss in the first episode or sex scene in a kdrama from the first episode = The kdrama will suck. It's been confirmed with a lot of kdramas and it's usually never wrong.
Oh thanks, don't think I'll waste my time on this then. That's a huge downer, sounds exactly like the type of ending that makes me turn a 10/10 into a 7-8/10. So sad that korean writers can't stop with these bad tropes
watching this on prime video and the quality is so bad. so I tried watching on "other" websites and the quality…
The subtitles on Prime Video are annoying. while the actual dialogue is ok, when no one is speaking a spurious "[No Audio]" text is on screen—even while sound effects and background music play, and a while character is sobbing over the loss of a loved one. During the pivotal OST montages it informs us with '[music]'.
Whew!!!! This was sooo good! Ignore the comments 10/10
Definitely for more of a mature audience. Hilarious moments each episode. As well as serious and complicated relationships in dealing with break ups and mental health
Just finished watching and totally loved the female lead (one of the best fosho)... A while back, I was really eager to see this, but there were so many negative comments about the female lead that I decided to skip it. However, a year later, I decided to give it a shot without knowing much about it, and I'm seriously regretting not watching it earlier. also the ml was pretty good too
also all the comments about the ex's are spot on they're so trash especially the sml
Like many, I went into this drama with low expectations, however, an open mind. Surprisingly, I found myself captivated by many of the episodes and indeed the characters. I was drawn to this drama initially around the premise of food - as I adore eating out and cooking from scratch. I liked the idea of two strangers coming together and becoming friends through dining out. The rules were mature and quirky. No exchange of names. No exchange of occupations. No exchange of phone numbers. No exchange of anything in their personal lives (only past relationships). Prior to this, I also liked how the writer initiated their coincidental meetings. I thought it was done well. As a believer in destiny, this hugely resonated with me.
Kudos to the research team. I felt they did an excellent job researching psychotherapy and mental health. A lot of the dialogue around these issues made absolute sense to my brain and felt well researched and believable. In this regard, Lee Ji Hoon, seriously owned the role of Jung Jae Hyuk. From the outset, on his return, having been away from Woo De He for a number of years, I found myself astounded that one of his opening lines was: "Let's get back together." No begging apology. No falling to the knees asking for forgiveness. No explanation as to why he dumped her by text after 6 fucking years. Nothing. I was captivated by his character throughout the drama and really felt he delivered his role as someone with Obsessive Love Disorder (OLD) or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) brilliantly. He was my favourite character, as he pissed the fuck out of me throughout the drama, however, I couldn't help myself empathising with his delusional belief that Woo De He, not only belonged to him, but could only ever love him. The scene with his father in the hospital, actually made me touch my heart. Very sad indeed.
Kim Hae Kyung, ML, I really enjoyed his character development. Firstly, reserved and introverted, dogged down by his own issues, then finally brave and resplendent. In my brain, there's something seriously sexy about an intelligent, selfless man who oozes empathy for others. However, what sticks in my mind throughout the whole drama, is how he laughed so many times when with Woo De He and always when he least expected it, as their personalities were so opposite. For some reason, I adored these moments. He looked beautiful laughing.
Surprisingly, my least favourite character was our FL - Woo De He. I didn't enjoy how our writer depicted her story in dealing with Jung Jae Hyuk for drama sake. My brain was constantly shouting to Jung Jae Hyuk, "Fuck off. Fuck the right off out of my life or I'm going to report you for stalking and trespassing." However, I totally understood her love and protection for her first love. After all, the brain says one thing and the heart always overrules. I also didn't think she ever had Kim Hae Kyung's back until his accident. He was always there for her, but I never really felt, she was really there for him until the end. Coward springs to mind and constantly running away, which pissed me off.
Contrary to others, I really enjoyed the relationship and writing of the script between Nam Ah Young (CEO) and our homeless tramp. I love a fierce, wise, protective woman, who knows what she wants and goes out for it, while being direct about what she wants and telling it as it is. She was this. She was the Mother bear with our FL and her team. I found their story intrinsic to the narrative.
Honestly, I don't have many thoughts on Jin Noh Eul's character, as I've seen it a 100 times in K-dramas and it bores me senseless. Nothing different. Everything expected. However, I did like how she found resolve to move on.
So, it's a 7.5/10 for me. Mainly because we didn't get enough screen time showcasing the love and evolving sexual tension between our two leads. It tickled us with it, to be ultimately dropped with the 1-year time loop. What an opportunity lost I was left thinking. Too much time was spent on the issues surrounding our 2nd leads. Would I re-watch? Perhaps. Maybe. Possibly. However, only my best bits.
This was such a well-detailed and coherent review, by the way ♡

SKZFLIX won an award!!! 🤩
2024 just keeps getting better!
Toxic exes aside, this is a wonderful drama :)
