That is the word's they said before the flashback....

At some point I'd thought there was going to be a baby but it never happened- it was doing so well with the 3 men in her life. Until it became sappy. I was so disappointed by how she treated the ML when he spoke about his own issues. She still had other options and roads to go down. I got tired of anything to do with her job, just made everything depressing- Not only dose she need surgery(which they forgot about until the end), but now she might lose her job......and then somehow she's at a new job with her friend? That ending was horrible. By the end of it I was completely uninterested in any other plots-I just did not care about other couples or friends or w/e, I just wanted them to solve the baby issue-and yes at the end they hit that she might be having a baby but I just felt like they did not give us the ending we deserved! Give me the year later xD

I'm just going to be honest- I did enjoy this but then it lost me. An hour felt so long and was sucking the life out of me. I went in think this would be a silly, cutie, and funny show but in the end I got more of the melodrama feel. Unless your interested in adult conversations about kids, work, love and ect.... I'd say this is a strong skip. Even Jang Na Ra couldn't save it.

yes, I'd give it lower TBH. Reasons- they lost the spark and focus of the show. For me the adult conversations are the best part but was not what I was looking for.

Kopiko candy to change mood? Its a weird ad placement and kind of makes me feel like a put down for women "here eat this candy and be happy!"
-weird N plot- its a weird disney story they thrown into the middle of the show. I started off thinking they would use that plot more as he's popular but then they forget about them until almost the end. I'm completely creepies out by the bed thing, the stalking of her, and the random things like them living together(where did he, who has no job, just buy a house? I know he's rich and w/e but the clips of them are so short at the end), and then the engagement party. We never even saw them get engaged or know how long they dated... feels like a week. Their plot alone is a whole show but is cut to bits for a little love story in the middle of trauma.
-upstairs vs downstairs- The plot kind of starts out like a rich vs the poor... screaming hysterical rich women and the sad abusive lives of the staff. And then It shifts the family gets their stuff together and the staff is going crazy. Other than the 2 main staff they kind of forget the rest we learn about.
-I kind of get bored of the kid plot at the end of the drama, I liked him more when he was being annoying and a brat then strong but emotional
-the back and forth of the timeline at the last 4epis or so. I can't decide if the time jump was good or bad, it felt like too much at the end.
-The women's clothing- dang they pulled out all the stops on this one. Great outfits, great set.
-I also enjoyed the characters developments : weak to strong, good to evil, rival to teammate. I'd say each person change in a huge way by the end.

Wow, what a ride- I really enjoyed this drama. I love the roles the women had with their power and their emotions. Very strong. At first I was not sure about the plot BUT once the rich lives are shown and the women's story starts-that's when everything was great. Really recommend if you like family drama, strong women, and a mystery! Things I likes vs hate below

Its a like watching an accident- You don't want to watch but you can't look away. Its scripted, silly, rude, ADULT themes, interesting and yet you feel emotional about the stories. Trauma is real here with a wide rang of secrets from basic issues to horrible backstories. Each one is a reason for love to not make it. Its understandable why these people can't find partners. BUT this show is not here to fix them or help them in anyway.
I'd watch another season tho- You want to know what the secret is and then I like to think about if that would be a deal breaker for me or not. It just showed up on my Netflix and I thought "sure I could watch a dating show!" If you watched MTV dating shows from the 2000's then you'd understand this show. Quick, easy to watch but over the top insult humor is not for everyone!

No its more about the mess of the family- I'm only on 6 and no one is dead but they did show the face. They start out hinting about it to pull you into the show- Crazy person running to the cops saying they seen a murder but then ever bring it up again other then show hits of the body.
So far I like it cuz there is a ton going on like a spider web.

Its weird... once they wear your clothing... that when you got to say goodbye for sure!

I'm not that far into it- but its mostly the super rich vs their staff. Full of power struggles, family issues, bad personalities and tons of drama! There's the normal- grandparents that control everything- 3 adult kids with with own wife's/husband( 1 couple with a 6 or 5yr son and another couple with a collage age son). Each family has their own staff and the family use them to spy on each other. Things are very over the top as everyone has a issue. Everyone has a secret and each role has something going on but is more about the women then the men.
~Thriller- mystery- they show a part of a body on the floor in blood but in 4 epis nothing is explained about it other than its a women.
~Hidden ID- its not that hidden and is forcing family members to do things but will be one of the main plot lines.

Oh man.... This was so great! I just loved the over the top comedy, Every time there is a huge misunderstanding but its just so funny how everything gets mixed up.

oh this was so funny! leaned tea breaks are very important... not bad for not see anything else. It just showed up on my Netflix so I thought I could give 5mins ago.... ended up watching it all!

Also I found the music to be a bad decision- classical piano.... I swear at one point they are using wedding music. lol

TBH this is not for everyone- Its a very strong coming of age drama- there's sex shaming, prego tests, drugs, possible rape, bulling, mind games, video recording, sibling love, parent issues,... just to name a few. But is it a bad as american coming of age shows? hell no. ..
The manga itself is from 2000 and as far as fallowing it.... its so-so. They left out the deep scars the parents left on all the kids- most of them are emotional damaged. They defiantly don't do a good job with the plot. Only the main leads get a ending. So as normal I'd say the manga is way better.
~I'd recommend this- it can be hard to watch at the start but there is meaning and depth. Its raw and honest and the love is sincere and painful. The view point is a good way to show a coming of age story,

I think they are trying to get the feel from the manga.

They did say the show was holding them back from applying

agree- if the subtitles are bad... it is not the dramas fault. I waited a long long time cuz I wanted to watch part 1&2 together. I never lower a score over bad subtitles or low budget.

Personally I gave it an 8- I don't think it is just the subtitles are the problem. Is it a good drama, yes but its not mind blowing for me. I expected a lot more based on the hype and the actors.

Drama-not so much BUT I was never expecting it to be a lot in a Japan version. I find them all to be more private and kept personal things to themselves. This was clearly filmed during covid, and I do wonder if that impacted couple growth. I do wish there was something from "marriage at first sight"- if they spoke with someone more knowledgeable would couple have made it? I think outside of the pods a few of them suffered just from interacting/ living with a new person and how to show who you are to another in a short amount of time. Sometimes a couple would be having a huge huge problem but we would not know about until the break up. they try so hard to make couple look like they are ok when they are not. I was really interested in the Wholesome moments- during break up or if someone was having a hard time: the couples tried really hard to make sure no one looked like a mess.

thx for the update! I felt like the show was holding them back as they said they could not apply until after the show aired. Now it had me wondering if it was not as much of a big deal-in the usa they are married at the end and here they had a year after to still think about it.
