here we go again, calling it dragging and slow... don't ever ask for 16 episode drama again, then... like, its…
I think, especially here in the US, there are too many people who expect either instant gratification or their dopamine hit. There is a definite loss of appreciation for a slow burn.
This drama is paced just fine and amazingly there isn't really any filler that doesn't have a purpose to the plot.
Both my wife and I are enjoying this drama. I think a big part of it is that we didn't go into it with any particular expectations, we don't really care about social messaging, and it is primarily escape filler between deeper dramas.
It's proving to be exactly what we expected; a pretty standard office Chaebol/Cinderella drama with a twist as part of the premise. Like Would You Marry Me or Dynamite Kiss, I would give it a 7 to 7.5. Nothing special, but a potentially fun watch.
It's predictable, has all the expected tropes, and the right length with only 12 episodes. 16 or even 14 would certainly be too long.
We can cheer for the heroes. We can boo the villains. The story holds up enough to suspend disbelief. We can laugh at the humor. Expectations fully met for a slightly above average drama. If you are expecting more, the problem is with you, not with the drama.
Save it for when you need some mindless filler or escapism, set expectations aside, take it for what it is, and you'll have a fun watch.
I really love this show ..I wonder why the low ratings
I can think of a few reasons.
First, the release was delayed from when it was originally announced. Now that it is out, it's going against some very strong competition that are either already going strong or were highly anticipated.
Finally, it's out on Netflix, so you can watch it any time. I've noticed a tendency for ratings to drop when this is the case even when the show is good.
Keep in mind, that for many of those people it is their first exposure into the Kdrama/Kmovie genres. For us, it might be just another good effort. For them, it's almost a gateway drug.
Eh?! We now have animated stuff here at MDL?Is it just this or there will be more animated/anime stuff added later…
They almost need to. The movie is proving to be a "gateway drug" into the world of Kdramas for many people. Plus, there are several significant Kdrama/movie actors in the movie, so it helps with their biography.
heyy if you are interested in this drama but confused because of such low ratings then I'll suggest you to WATCH…
I suspect the low ratimgs have somethimg to do with Bon Appetit, Your Majesty. It started first amd had taken Korea by storm before CQ aired its forst episode.
This is one of those dramas that will be a lot of fun, I suspect, however it will REQUIRE you to check your reality at the door. It is not making the least effort to have any real-world grounding.
If you can do that, be ready for a wild ride is my prediction. If you can't, you might want to watch something else.
I am going to watch from today.. upper feedbacks made me disappointed. From your and so many positive comments…
MDL reviews tend to be unreasonably harsh and it's been much worse of late. This is one of our favorite and most re-watched dramas. It's a great story with wonderful chemistry. Oh, and the best tango in a drama ever. :-D
Yeah. It looks like it is off Viki for now. I did a search, and it *looks* like it might be coming to Netflix. It isn't there, but it had a title page and a "Set Reminder" button. It is also available on Tubi.

Remember that there are NO EPISODES this week due to the Lunar New Year celebrations in Korea!

Sadly, the truth doesn't seem to matter much on the knetz.
1. She stays.
2. He goes forwad.
3. They part forever.
There's a missing book page and he's writing the book. So my bet is on him going to the future.
If you can do that, be ready for a wild ride is my prediction. If you can't, you might want to watch something else.
