Disaster
Honestly, the only reason I stuck with the show was to see her finally face consequences in the end. The ending wasn’t that terrible, but definitely not what I wanted or expected. The start was strong, but I was least interested in her journey. Sure, her character was unique and acted well, but I kept hoping she’d finally fall into someone’s trap or get manipulated for once. I still don’t get why everyone keeps helping her and feeling sorry for her.Jun-seo’s character felt a bit underdeveloped. And the actor — whether it’s Penthouse, Shooting Stars, or this show — he just gives similar vibes every time. Even if the characters are written differently, his acting always feels the same.
Looks like there might be another season coming, but I’m not looking forward to it.

The drama starts off fresh, cute, and light, but it slowly becomes very uninteresting. The second leads’ story was enjoyable, but even that lacked real romantic depth — they felt more like friends throughout.
The ending was rushed, and I’m still confused about what the main focus of this drama was. Was it the female lead? Her family? The drawing club? Nothing was fully developed, and everything felt half-done.
I ended up skipping a lot of scenes just to get through and finish the drama.

A Drama I Wish I Could Watch for the First Time Again
What a masterpiece! I came for this guy from I am Nobody. Man, what a great actor he is! Also, the female lead is no exception. All of them beautifully portrayed this story, I am just filled with love. Enemies to lovers is my favourite genre and it just took me 0.1s to give a full rating, because it deserves! I just finished watching, and if there is one drama I can forget, it would be this, because I want to experience this drama again for the first time. I wish I could post pictures of my most favourite scenes, but it would be 1) ep 19 - he appears in his demonic form and she endures everything until he finishes his duty 2) When they carve their names for the first time.Overall, a pure perfection!

Too many cooks spoil the broth
That's all I have to say! But this review expects me to write atleast 300 characters..lmao.Rating is half because every department was just incomplete. Nice concept- not presented well, nice story - not told correctly, nice characters- no developments, good cast - but underutilized and most importantly no emotions.

Great Start, Underwhelming Finish
Many people have been quick to give this series a perfect 10 after watching just a few episodes, but in my opinion, it doesn't quite deserve that praise. The show started off with a great concept and an exciting premise, and for the first few episodes, it was genuinely engaging. However, as the story progressed, it lost its momentum and began to feel like a typical, average K-Drama.The character development was lacking, and the characters didn’t evolve in a meaningful way, which made it hard to stay connected to them. Though the acting was solid, I never fully immersed myself in it; there were moments where it felt like the actors were merely performing, not truly living their roles.
I do believe reviews should be written after watching the entire series, not just the first few episodes. This is definitely not a 10/10 in my book.

Deserves Recognition!!
An amazingly underrated light-hearted drama. Totally amused by every bit of this and undoubtedly a must-watch for everyone. There is no romance, but bromance and friendship is really enjoyable. The cast is outstanding, each actor delivering a memorable performance that makes their character stand out. Seoul busters = stress busters. Cheers!Was this review helpful to you?
Average drama
It started off pretty good, but quickly lost its spark and dragged on far too long for a 16-episode run. The romance just came out of nowhere and there was zero chemistry, honestly. The second leads were way more interesting than the main couple. Overall… probably better to skip this one.Was this review helpful to you?
Lee joon demands a watch
Maybe change the name of the drama to Ryu Tae Oh, as he really carried this show!? Quality acting by great cast. In terms of story, not bad worth a watch although it has some loopholes. Good thriller, keeps us getting suspicious of many people.I don't understand the Maria personality, is she pretending to be strong, weak or just stupid? Please fire such psychiatrists, I would say. Maybe a little better character writing could have done better.
What to say about Ryu Tae Oh!? It's not just the character, but a whole set of emotions to be experienced. Glad to have watched such amazing performance.

Too slow
Struggled to get through just a couple of episodes as I found the series extremely boring. The premise seemed promising, and I was excited to dive in, but the beginning was slow and failed to hold my attention. While it’s possible that later episodes are better, the lackluster start made it hard for me to continue watching.Was this review helpful to you?
Must watch
Acting, story, execution, bromance - brilliant.Hyyh is an interesting concept that I would have liked even if I wasn't an army. Anyone can watch it , and if you are an army, it's more emotional attachment because there are many subtle cute moments included that certainly reminds of them. I prefer watching dramas over reading a book and this is what I want! More, please more🥺
The actors who played jhope , suga(characterwise) and jimin(lookwise) match so perfectly with real BTS! Hyyh yoonkook supremacy!😭

Must Watch - At least for the acting
The beginning was absolutely spot-on. I kept hoping nothing bad would happen to him, even though I knew he was going to get framed. It really had me hooked… right up until he escaped prison straight through the main gate. After that, the car chase and the whole survival-game vibe felt a bit off and kind of disconnected from the main plot.Acting-wise, everyone nailed their roles. JCW is always my number one, and D.O. and Kwangsoo were amazing too. Honestly, my first suspect was his girlfriend — but then she just disappeared from the story completely.
The ending didn’t feel very satisfying considering everything they went through. The villain was too good to be taken out that quickly. And Baek Do-kyung, who literally murdered so many people, just died like that?
Still, overall it’s a good series — definitely worth watching.
