I feel like they’re trying to sell this romcom as 'different' just because the main couple are villains, but it honestly looks like the same old formula. You already know they’re gonna have a redemption arc and turn 'good' by the end. The trailer and the genre give it all away

Yes, it seems like a bad choice for the ML, especially when the FL is lim ji yeon- great actress! I can tell it's common that in the korean industry they cast avarage actors for the main role because of their visuals.
i guess that people find him handsome.

well, i did watch a little bit from the first episode, and yeah he's anemic. lack charisma that ML should have.

First of all, if you like the main couple- Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon, that’s already a good enough reason to watch. their acting is just on another level. Some people were bothered by the age gap, but it didn't bother me one bit, honestly, I loved them as a couple on screen.
It’s a hate-to-love comedy, it’s super entertaining, hilarious, witty, and lighthearted, with those heartwarming moments. It feels different from the typical, formulaic K-dramas. there's something realistic about it that really hits home. the romance is definitely there, but in a pure and subtle way.
I highly recommend it!

I think his visuals are better then his acting . i can see why people likes his visuals sometimes, but from what i watched, i didn't like his acting.
he's average and below , in my opinion.

He don't look like a good pair with lim ji yeon, in my opinion

I didn't hear of this actor before he was cast in this show, and later i watched him a little bit , but I totally get what you're saying. Something about his vibe, especially next to Lim Ji-yeon, just doesn't work for me. He feels like one of those actors who gets ahead mostly because of their looks (and even then, I wasn't really feeling his look). He just doesn't look like lead-actor material but let's see. I'll still give the show a chance because the plot sounds interesting and because of Lim Ji-yeon- she was amazing in Nice to Not Meet You. (Her chemistry with Lee Jung-jae there was incredible, they actually really suit each other-might be an unpopular opinion, but that's my opinion).

I agree with you.
it's just that people lost their patiance because of the slow burn and many people that didn't loved the age gap between then. it's a very sweet , clean , and wittty love story. it's a rare romcom to find in those days. I love that romcom and the main couple.

I agree with you! he dosn't have that star quality and the appropriate charisma for being the ML. he doesn't fit her.
