legal slice-of-life!
I love how the drama follows a slice-of-life format while showing beautiful and realistic character developments. The leads are just like real life people; the cases are full of nuance and the happiness I get from watching this series is something I will hold close to my heart!!!Just some things that did not sit right with me:
- Character developments feel a bit pushed to the side; the romance is there but my delulu brain wish there was more!!!!!!!
- The push and pull between career vs. love didn't feel like it was resolved in the right way (just a bit unfomfy), where the audiences will be able to actually agree that the stuff that happens in the end is completely justifiable.
Definitely a rewatch for the interesting elements:)

How Dare You?! is a comedic, binge-able and twisty watch.
While there are certain plot holes at the end that disturb me in the back of my mind, they largely remain in the back of my mind because they aren't that significant enough to care.Being a newer c-drama fan, a similar drama I can compare this to is Love Game In Eastern Fantasy. I loved that drama too because of its funny elements. However, one big difference is the political intrigue, no magic powers and the surviving thing. Not only that but the fact is the FL and ML are both transmigrators, their romance feels much more natural/comfortable-to-watch than LGIEF.
But I don't like to compare two dramas because I believe How Dare You?! is a wonderful drama in its own right. The OST, the humor, the delight I get from watching the bad guys lose is unbelievably exceptional.
However, in the end, there's some things I would change about this drama. I can't quite place it but I have a feeling lol. I will surely return to rewatch again and again because I love the FL and ML's chemistry so much!!!

Extremely engaging...until it's not?
I got into this one with higher expectations because well, everyone was hyping it up. And yeah, I did get the hype for the first few episodes until the 20-30 episode mark hit. There's chemistry between the FL and ML sure, and it is quite an original enemies-to-lovers. However, the story eventually bled dry and had to rely on the cousin's unrequited feelings for the FL.I started watching this is 2025, tried to go past episode 27 in 2026 and finally admitted to myself yes, I love the actors and possibly the story, but its flaws were made too clear for me to continue. However, I am willing to give this a second chance someday because it entertained me up to this point, didn't it? Or maybe I'll just forget about this drama. But seeing the good reviews, I'm disappointed partly in myself that I didn't get to see the value they saw in The Prisoner Of Beauty.
