slight romance. Sloppy, & somewhat opened ended ending
This was was a more violent, suspenseful thriller than I expected. I would have given it a perfect score but they killed off a character I really liked. There is only a small bit of romance. the ending is slightly surprising and though it ends with most storylines tided up, it is a bit sloppy and little open ended.**spoiler** it felt like a plot hole right at the end for the little girl's situation. The "newly minted" main couple are living the lives they want, thought it's unclear what the Female lead is actually doing for a job, and no mention of who is running the company ! with the main couple no longer living with the little girl, the little girl has no one but the house keeper , who she never seemed that close to so it's sad.

Lots of underwear. no happy ending. It's all about the product & the job
AKA:Atlier PG for racy subject matter (bras), it's plot lines are as sappy as a Disney sitcom.great series did not have a "happy" ending that I would have preferred (& would have given it a perfect score if it did).It was at times a somewhat unsatisfying drama. Does not promise happy relationships & does not deliver them, though neither is it all about the drama in relationships, but rather it's all about the product & the jobWas this review helpful to you?
Bland happy ending
It was pretty good until the middle of episode 10 & then once we got the main couple where we wanted them, they were going to throw multi tropes in to shake things up. After reading other reviews it seems like this is the exact place to stop for the best experience because from the middle of ep 10 to the end of ep 16 there isn't alot worth enduring through. I skipped to the end & was vindicated as I saw that not only was there a 1 year time skip (in which the main couple have NO interaction at all) to the very bland happy-ish ending where all you get is a smile & a small hug.so when I watch again I will stop in the middle of ep 10Was this review helpful to you?
Somber with hint of romance. Leads lack chemistry. Female lead miscast
Series had an Unexpected prevailing somber tone with only a bare hint of romance . I expected to be wowed with what they did with makeup, but The makeup transformations were really unimpressively lack luster. Though there is a happy ending for the main couple; to call it a slow burn would be generous. Sadly, the leads have no chemistry. Joo Sang Wook does a really good job. Female lead Kim Bo Ra is miscast, & either her character is poorly written or she's poorly directed. Supporting cast does well, except for Hong Seok Cheon who is an irritating caricature of a type of man . I did not pick up on the age gap between the leads for awhile as it didn't seem relevant. It wasn't a problem because there is Nothing romantic going on. The female lead frequently has a blank look on her face & she comes across like she is a middle schooler with her expressions. It's really hard to accept her as a part of a romance with such a charismatic male lead. Joo Sang Wook really does all the work because she might as well be a hand puppet for all she is able to emote .I kept waiting for her to show another more adult side but it never came. The one tentative kiss lacks warm fuzzies or any heat. It's just Joo Sang Wook making his own chemistry all by himself & really by that time, you feel that he is so much more mature than she is that even His character is like :"nah this is just weird "! I've seen Kim Bo Ra in "Her private life" & did not warm up to her as a supporting actress. I really don't think that she's up to being a main, especially when paired with a much better, seasoned actor.Was this review helpful to you?
lame but watchable, but no end, so Disappointing
This was really disappointing because it does not end ! It's obviously meant to have more episodes but they are not available (?) Over all it was a pretty lame ho-hum story ,yet very watchable- IF the story was complete!! As it is, it leaves you hanging.5 episodes (on amazon) all about 13-15 minutes each

Wanted to like it because of the cast, but the story is depressing
Episodes 1-6 have some light heart warming moments but episodes 7-16 are increasingly traumatic. The cast is excellent., so I really tried to like this. but The tragic stories , though impactful, equal too much heavy drama & so is too depressing for me . Also, the ending is not nailed down enough to give me a real sense of conclusion satisfactionWas this review helpful to you?
forgettable but re watchable
There were a few things that I didn't like but over all, I really liked the concept & I enjoyed it. I would probably rewatch it again, (after a year). The guy seemed a bit old for the girl but once you get over that it's fun. Male lead is attractive, but seems so much older that it doesn't settle too well, so it take awhile to warm up to the leads being a coupleWas this review helpful to you?
Lots of bickering. Rehashing plot points. Overall not that pleasant
I watched this in 2023 . There were some tropes that were kind of standard for when it was released but over all it has aged well. I am not a fan of romance between bickering people & this was very heavy with that. Yoon Eun Hye is not my fav female lead but she did a good job here though her character was unbelievably naïve for having lived in a city her whole life and they had her prancing about the vineyard in ridiculous clothes & jewelry. Male lead Oh Man Seok was a bit too rusticated & I kept waiting for a transformation (in terms of hair style) but it never happened. It was annoying that they writers covered certain topics multiple times when they had already been resolved. The production quality, the very simple OST & the acting were all very good, but the way the characters were written was not pleasant entertainment for meWas this review helpful to you?
Didn't appeal to me, very odd kind of comedy
Odd. a comedy for certain tastes, but not mine. Clever premise, but idiotic. I really don't want to waste energy or time commenting on something that really wasn't worth my time. mindless entertainment had good production quality and the cast must have worked hard, but trying to come up with enough words to describe this is very very hardWas this review helpful to you?

Tedious amount of quickly resolved tropes & happy endings. But leads: meh
Short review : The lead female's character is incredibly irritating & U hate the way they have written her. She's a slob unless she's dating & even then they put her in some unappealing outfits. Once she stops being super annoying, the series is better, but then they throw in SO many tropes ! It's mostly a tease though because the parents give in rather easily, the misunderstandings are met pretty much head on & resolved quickly, but just the fact that they threw in a bunch of tropes is tedious. This series was a dud for me because of the lead female character.Long review:
I was going to pass this series up but then gave it a try. I do not like the female lead and the character she plays so I disliked the first 7 episodes. With episode 8 [with the help of a classy outfit for the female lead AND a very swoon worthy kiss] it seemed like the tone of the series was heading in a different direction & finally getting worth watching ,but that happy hope only lasted briefly. By episode 10, I was back to disliking it because they had started to make the male lead act idiotic & mean. a pleasant side character declared that love was nice but playing around was better & the female lead suddenly takes a bath & stops wearing sweats-getting her girly side on when she starts crushing on a guy. Why did I think this would be fun ? I persevered to ep.30 & was just so happy to be done when all seems all wrapped up & we have happy endings for 2 couples. I saw that the last 2 episodes had the cast split up by gender with the men all having trouble understanding thier women & honestly I was happy & done with this series, dunno why they had to spoil it but I was not going to watch those episodes & ruin the few warm fuzzies that I had already.

Unconvincing
I like the cast but the evil prosecutor got too much screen time. some things were over the top : when you hit someone with a 2x4 board, full force, on the shins- repeatedly, legs will get broken, so walking away from that gets less interesting for me. When the whole reason for revenge is to avenge your father, who died because he did crooked things for crooked people, it's hard to feel all in sympathy/empathy. I didn't feel like they did a good job showing how lead con man convinced others to be on his side.Was this review helpful to you?

Casting, poorly written characters & heavy handed comedy ruin it
I wanted to like this but here was so much I just didn't like. Last things first; There is a 2 year time skip near the end with an unexplained miracle cure & a complete 180 of the male lead's personality. Then there is a bland ending where the main couple just hug. That's because they've already had an excessive amount of kissing beforehand, some of which created warm fuzzies, ( but they just kept at it & the spark just fizzled out. ) Then there is the matter of the casting. Yoon Kyun Sang was miscast. He is 6'4 and towered above his 5' costar. side views of him look like he is ominously lurking above her like a vulture! He was portraying a character whose medical condition would lend itself towards being on the slim side, but Yoon Kyun Sang is more lumberingly large. next problem I had was with the writing. Yoon Kyun Sang's character was written such that he was buffoonish with over the top comedic expressions & was repelling, not funny. He also spent the entire series being needy, with either a blank face or a hopeful desperate look, both of which were unendearing. Meanwhile, Kim Yoo Jung was perfectly cast & very appealing but was written to be too simple & incapable. It made it hard to be sympathetic to her. Her brother was also written badly & was a very flat unlikeable character. over all I'd say that it was poor writing or directing/interpretation of the character that was at fault. The real problem for this series is that there is a better rendition out there.NO, the real problem is that I watched the Chinese version (Touch Your Heart) before watching this & it was much much better. & randomly : Jasper Liu, the lead in the Chinese version (Touch Your Heart) looks like Song Jeu Rim's twin bother ! Clean with a passion for now was cringy & I couldn't wait to get done with it. Touch your heart I will definitely rewatchWas this review helpful to you?

Tedious-Dropped at ep. 12 & wished I had done it sooner.
They have the male lead get crazy angry & in the face of the female lead (his love interest) He is verbally abusive & almost violent. That's episode 2. that's a hard pass for me when it comes to romance- there is no "sorry" that can make that right.They play the song : "It's hard for me to forget you " way too much.
Subs are missing for phone texts where are a crucial part of the story.
by episode 12 it had gotten tedious. With no real affection for the leads & the story, I dropped it-there are WAY better dramas out there.

Masochist male lead's visuals don't counter balance female lead character's caustic personality.
The male lead is So very attractive, & yet the female lead is SO very unpleasant. I t's absurd that the male lead falls for her. She has a sad back story but mistreats everyone, never evolving into anything remotely kind or nice. I found myself actually not want the leads to have a love connection. It says alot about how repulsive I find the female lead when rather than watch this, I find myself browsing for dramas that aren't even the genres I like ! The female lead's BFF is hyper focused on intimate things & everything that comes out of her mouth is crude. The humor falls flat and the warm fuzzies get trampled on . I want to like this & I tried, but I think, at 9 episodes I can honestly say that I've given it enough time to win me over.Whatever is endearing about this is just vapor -exhale & it's gone.

Tediously Waay too long- Side stories were just annoying filler
Are you here for the male lead ? well, skip my review & just watch it !For everyone else I'll be brief :
It's way too long. The second lead's relationship was irritating & took up too much screen time. Female lead was embarrassingly baby cutesy most the time. Side stories & family scenes were just annoying interruptions. Male lead is the only reason to watch & his character was not boyfriend material. Fluffy oversized dog had gross brown stained fur around it's face, like it needed washing. no weddings shown but abrupt happy endings for all 4 leads (AND 2 year time skip at end) Too much tediousness to really enjoy this series.
