Best Drama Released this year
The webtoon was great and I thought the adaptation wouldn't be great but man was I wrong. This drama had me in the edge of my seat. I got excited every week. The story is about a sociopathic girl and while the story makes you want to root for her, it also shows that not everything is black and white. All her choices is rooted in her wanting to live a normal life. That was up until she framed her boss for killing her dad and she became an actress. After that you could see she wanted to be at the top because she believed by being at the top no one would be able to touch her. I love everything about this story. I would definitely recommend 10/10 from me.Was this review helpful to you?

Siblings but not really siblings....
I wanted to like Speed and Love, and the beginning had some charm, but I really couldn’t get past the main premise. The leads growing up as siblings—even though they’re not blood-related—felt uncomfortable and borderline incestuous, which overshadowed any chemistry the show tried to build. I will not deny the leads had chemistry but this girl literally saw him as her brother up until the middle of the story. I couldn't get past that.The story lost momentum around the middle and became completely boring by the time the leads got together. I also hate the whole "I'm leaving you now because it's for your own good" trope.
The acting was fine, except for the fact that I was annoyed by Esther Yu's acting throughout the drama. She can act without a doubt, just didn't like her in this one. The production and music were competent, but the premise just ruined it for me. Overall, it was an okay drama, just not for me.
