I LOVE this cast! Jung Ryeo Won and Lee Kyu Hyung, are THE BEST at stone-faced irony (i.e. you can feel them rolling their eyes without them needing to roll their eyes). The first 3 eps are good, but I have confidence there is A LOT more to come, just based on the cast alone.
Keeping myself very restrained here to avoid reading any comments/spoilers but just wanted to say, the support cast is out of the park! Just 2 examples...Park Bo Kyun is turning out to be a very convincing creepy minion. And OMG Nam Ki Ae, in her brief moment in Ep 7...just *chef's kiss*
With the sheer number of stupid misunderstandings & 'wrong place wrong person' moments in this, I feel I should be assuming the main couple are NOT 'fated' to be together. But I keep watching...*rolling my eyes at myself*
Thankyou for stating so clearly, exactly what I've been trying to formulate in a review! Whilst I did plod through its entirety, it was over-all, QUITE disappointing. I think i was holding on, hoping it would redeem itself.
Putting this one on the binge watch list, I hate love triangles too much to watch this weekly. I need spoilers…
It's full to the brim of mystery and intrigue in the first 2 eps, with very little love triangle so far...which is also a good reason to wait and binge (if you're impatient like me)
OMG it's right here (sorry!!) FL plays it out with the Beauty brand executive in Ep 4 with the whole "I'm stupid I donβt understand poetry*. Although she's kinda using it to protect herself **deep sigh** And the whole, hiding of her ornithologist persona ...
I hear you, but my suspicion (or hope) is that the writing is deliberately challenging. My absolutely most hated 'type' the FL is portraying is: The 'beautiful idiot' who is actually super smart but infantilising herself, to be attractive. Because, you know, smart females=NOT attractive.π But it's so early and obvious, I think it's on the table for "drama growth"
So awful and concerning that you expected to be attacked! But not surprising... Widespread understanding of prejudices and internalised biases, seems a long way off. Thankyou for being brave and pointing it out here! β€
All i have to say is that in ep1, Zhuang Yu REALLYYYYYY didnt mind YuMeiRen putting her hands all over his body,…
I SO got a different feeling in ep1. To me it came across as him being resigned to her touch and not actually accepting of it AT ALL. Maybe we're coming from a different perspective and are seeing it differently. π€·ββοΈ The whole non-consensual touching and severely stalking behaviour from the FL, is really troubling IMO. And the ML is a non-consenting victim of her troubling behaviour - he shouldn't have to take a step back.
Yeah I agree. The drama could have been perfectly fluffy is they didn't add the part of FL stalking ML and make…
Just came to the page to say almost exactly this! But I will stick it out for a bit longer. C-dramas IMO often do a good job of character growth so I'm hopeful.
Finally found time to watch this. It's lovely! One of its small gifts for me; Gu Wei Yi's internet searches of…
This started out cute and sweet, but the persistent stonewalling by Situ Mo towards Wei Yi, in the final few episodes, is foing my head in. IRL this relationship would be bound for failure.

I wonder if it's the same cat as from "Meow My Secret Boy"π€
...Jamie might turn into L π€©
That would be too meta π
