A decent rom com - not the top notch quality but decent - quality fluctuates

At first, I thought This is s a gem!!!! one of kdrama masterpiece classics!!!
Then FL got all glammed up adn the script lost it. It was more about glorifying the FL actress
and she cannot act all that well when she gets into the arrogant mode.
ML is somehow considered a lesser actor than her - they were ML and FL in drama Wonderful Nightmare long time ago, it was basically 99% about her and he had a few scenes as her husband. Then he had a pretty .. wel... naked.... drama Obsessed

So in this drama he is played a little bit more then b efore bc he is still good looking and became a lot better actor and is on par with her now.
After FL glammed up, the FL actress was just mediocre and it was not pleasant to watch THAT.. FL actress just cannot act love scenes with him bc she thinks he is lesser than her.

The scrips picked up a little at the very end
but the last scene was yet another one of those condescending scenes.

=====
The scene of the CEO of 2ONE and the Dokgo in the questioning room at the police stateion were PRECIOUS,.... the CEO actor is amazing!!!! and DokGo too...

The CEO was in Once Again drama where he is agood guy but he is such a guy who can act good or bad, and he was PERFCT for this role, every scene with him was amazing.

=====
I also think the scene at the start of ... ep 4, I think, when Dokgo tells her that he is glad she made it - he is great in scenes expressing love and care

====
And I was impressed with FL in scenes where she was wise, like when she just started in that redish drama and the other actress beat her up and Dokgo tried to take her away, and she said she is staying. THAT was excellent script and the FL actress did it so well.

-====
Afte rthe glam part, FL and the actress were not fun to watch anymore.
Dokgo had great moments as policeman
and their love scenes were ... well.. non existant. Except the comedy of falling down in the gym. THat lasted about 20 seconds .... and the after-slapping with towel was too ... cheap. They are not teenagers

=====
Sp pverall, sometimes this drama is great, and sometimes it is cheap. It is not one the most precious kdramas out there. It is fluffy fun with great moments.



the script is WICKED :) such good twists .... sooooo funny....
and the cast is amazing! Such amazing acting!!! The Detective older version actor is AMAZING
and the older FL is ... over the top but for a good reason.... and also she is very wise and capable do not understimate her :) Her looks are there to totally trick you...

and the younger ML/FL are also great actors

and everyone else is acting super good and it is just incredible.

Wonderful story

So fun :)

This is one of the shows to REWATCH .... it is sooo .. wow... sooooo .... tricky and ... so fun

AND THE MUSIC IS PHENOMENAL

SO KEEP PAYING ATTENTION there is a lot in this. I realize the script is so wickedly clever that you get totally duped into believing things which you shouldnt believe, and then later it is like omg ..... !
CHEERS TO THIS SCRIPT WRITER!

=====
I keep rewatching the moment the Detective and Fuzzy meet at the very start of ep 4. He is an AMAZING actor. his eyes!!!!! his body language!!!!! he is an ***IMPRESSIVELY amazing actor**** and he is also very beautiful, such smart eyes, he really makes scenes come alive

To be honest at first I felt annoyed with his very thin hair, which makes him look very ... run down... but I realized it just shows how he is an "ordinary person". I wonder what the actor's real hair looks like. I was also annoyed at first with FL thick plastic surgery lips and mascara making her look like ... someone from the west ... and her lousiness which made me think this is old stype sexist kdrama with a loser FL

Only later when I saw her scenes working in the kitchen, and scenes changing her mind to act and dupe the police, did I realize that FL was a very strong, smart and capable character and that all her silly behavior was a camouflage, a trap for us audience, to catch us by surprise :)

The scene where he saves her from the lead that keeps hitting her and the talk between two of them is an AMAZING scene of a true partnership

I was IMPRESSED!!!!! I am impressed! Now I will have to rewatch bc I realize that I missed so much

The acting is so good! and the script is WICKEDLY funky, this is one drama I will rewatch .... and I never rewatch!

I wish this drama was longer bc it is so excellent

The FL is a great actress but acts over the top and is masqueraded in that silly look, bc the script made her do that.
I think the script is a parody on Park Do Ra in Beaty and Mr Romantic when she had an accident and came back looking weird and behaving over the top
So the contrast when she becomes In Se Ra again will be really obvious

Overall this is a really really fun kdrama

CHEERS TO THE AMAZING SCRIPT WRITER AND THE AMAZING CAST!!!!
This is truely a true kdrama gem

------ written after ep 7 ----

O M G FL actress coming out of her camouflage and acting full on... I am IMPRESSED. THat is one awesome amazing actress!!!!

The Detective was cute and I love his scenes but he is not as great magnificent as she is, acting wise. He in fact is phenomenal for close up love dovey scenes. He is not good for acting harsh or worried etc scenes

She is ... wow ... what a range of acting!!!!! and the FL character - she is a very strong and wise woman ...

I bow to the Queen

=====after ep 11 ====
I think the script writer ran out of steam so it got .... dilluted
and then I realized that this drama was made quite shallow

It is still fun to watch
