Nielson Korea Nationwide Rating of 13.9% 🔥 Almost entering the top 20 highest rated viewership series of all time for cable tv network (tvN, JTBC) just in its 2nd week of airing, which can already be considered as a sensational hit.
FYI, the highest rated viewership tvN drama was ‘Crash Landing on You’, peaking at around 21.7% (4th highest rated) while the 1st highest rated series is ‘The World of the Married’ with 28.4%.
Omgg I love the ending of Ep 4. Their acting and Heize’s OST >>
The part where the song goes:
“Stop me Please, stop me here Stop me from running to you I don't know how to forget you Without you, my path I just don't know Stop me”
Then they show Hyun-woo walking towards Hae-in… Chef’s kiss.
If you look at the background info of the song: 'Hold Me Back' by Heize is a song about the conflicting love, hatred, and indescribable affection shared between Hyun-woo and Hae-in, a couple facing a crisis. The tender yet heartbreaking lyrics, “Stop me from running to you”, are written as if to foreshadow the deepening emotions between the two.

Next up should be Crush, OST lineup be cooking fr.👨🍳
she’s falling so easily for him right now, if she’s so in love with him why did they ever fall out to begin…
perhaps she never did fall out of love to begin with, just took their relationship for granted, or maybe its really just how attitude changes before dying lol, depends on how you want to see it to justify it i guess.
It seems very messy right now, I mean their relation. Both the fl and ml have been trying to be good to each other…
Nahh we good, I dun think we have to worry that much since it’s clear that the script starts from the ‘lowest’ point of their relationship. So their dynamic will only improve for the better. I’d expect any conflicts to be minor scuffles at most.
Wait this was not the first time the Leads were together in a drama?
Yeah, they both acted in Yumi’s Cells as well, but Park Ji-hyun was a supporting role (annoying hateful character role) there while Ahn Bo-hyun & Kim Go-eun were the main leads. Flex X Cop is Park Ji-hyun’s first main lead role.
Trivia: In Strong Heart VS (variety show), Park Ji-hyun couldn’t watch Ahn Bo-hyun & Kim Go-eun kiss scene in Yumi’s Cells because the 3 of them are really close irl (she’s also currently filming another drama with Kim Go-eun. And Ahn Bo-hyun’s irl closest female friend is Kim Go-eun) so she felt strange/weird watching them kiss lmao.
This is looking good. Hyun-woo and Hae-in might not have the healthiest relationship, but I'm all for them to turn it into one. They each have their flaws and personal issues to deal with; at times, their attitudes might even rub some people the wrong way. However, it's precisely these imperfections that draws me in, as they add layers of complexity and nuance to their characters. I like how the show is progressively showcasing their innate goodness and love for each other, tho subtly, and I can’t wait to witness the mending journey of their relationship and how they will become better versions of themselves. This might be why I’m so entertained by K-drama—we all know that the leads are fundamentally good at their core, unlike in real life where some of the behaviors could really be red flags.
It’s also promising that there are sides of them we have yet to see yet, like their lovey-dovey side and the moment that led to their rift, etc. So things are shaping up rather nicely. 😊
