Comedy,adventure,mystery,love and politics -A TOTAL PACKAGE
This is the most underrated cdrama of 2025...and one of the best as well. Some romance dramas are better rated than this...but I didn't have this much fun watching any of those.WAITING FOR SEASON 2
Pros-
1) Dylan has done a great job. He is a total treat in this drama
2) The story is a fun watch and packed with humor
3) Despite being light, the emotional moments will make you tear up
4) The character growth of almost all important characters is well written
5) The smaller cases and interesting world building always leaves you anticipating.
6) The Bromance is also top notch
Cons -
The ML has a great chemistry with all females except the FL who seems to be there just for the sake of romance...she's boring!

My all time fav. Mature, light and deep! DON'T LET FEW BAD REVIEWS FOOL YOU
Actors - the ML looks like he has years of experience in theatre. He is wonderful at capturing emotions and making it look effortless. He is the star of this drama. The FL fits the cheeky role perfectly. It seems like it was written for her. All the supporting characters have a special place in my heart. ❣️My only problem with the ML's character is that he doesn't have any real character flaw. The FL is written better
Plot - The plot is simple. Its about finding a new life in the Countyside. However, it deals with some very very serious issues like lookism, classism, suicide, insecurity, loss of loved ones, old age problems etc. In a way that doesn't make the drama serious at all but definitely touches your heart deeply.
Chemistry- the male lead has a great Chemistry with no t just the FL but everyone in this drama 😁❣️ and you're gonna love that. The FL's character growth remains my favorite part of the drama.
This drama hits differently for people who aren't too young, have experienced a bit of life, have faced socio economic problems prevelant in the society...and have lived in both small towns and big cities.
Overall, its a 10/10 for me because its personally close to my heart

Found it to be great but eventually dropped it
The acting is great, the story is engaging and the FL is refreshing. I like the way the characters the written. My problen with this xianxia is my problem with most romance xianxia....ITS TOO LONG FOR ITS OWN GOOD. It shouldn't be more than 20 episodes. Good screenwriters are capable of world building in 20eps.Was this review helpful to you?
MISSED THE MARK (short but detailed review )
Pros -1) good production quality
2) light romantic comedy makes it easy to watch
3) The second lead actors and the supporting cast have done a great job.
The second couple OUTSHINES the main couple almost in every way. Looking forward to their future performances
4) watchable if you don't take the plot too seriously
Cons -
1) Badly written main plot and characters- The FL is taking her video game bf encounter wayy too seriously for an adult. They really want to make a big deal out of something trivial and stupid. The rivalry lacks substance.
2) The babyfication of adult leads is a bit weird. They are acting like teens in a relationship . I am generally okay with lack of physical contact as long as the leads seem convincing and believable.
3) Even the second lead couple's story seems UNDERCOOKED and extremely rushed. They totally make up for it by their sizzling chemistry but its clear that it has been rushed and treated like a filler.

Unique concept but I lost interest
Its mature and had explicit content so I guess its too heavy for some people.I like the darkness that it shows. For once, the characters haven't been polished to perfection. They have their own imperfections and faults. I like that.
The best part of the drama is that you don't have any idea about what path the lead characters will choose and how will they end up. Almost everyone is grey and I don't think I have seen that in any other kdrama.
Its not the most thrilling but its still thrilling enough to bind you to the screen till the end.
The style of direction actually felt japanese to me interestingly. Overall, its somewhat dark but if you like unique thrilling dramas, this is for you. The acting is actually good.
THE STORY...HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO HOLD ME DESPITE AN INTERESTING BEGINNING. Wasted potential
