uhmm not for me
To be honest, the first episode of this drama was nearly unbearable to watch. It felt incredibly awkward, with attempts at humor that ultimately fell flat. The comedic scenes came off as forced, and I found myself cringing more than laughing. I mean, that awkward silence during Cheon Sa Rang’s interview? It lingered so long that I honestly thought my Wi-Fi was acting up!The second episode was an improvement over the first, but I still didn’t develop any strong feelings about it. While the pacing picked up slightly, the issues persisted, especially with the forced comedy.
One of my biggest pet peeves is how the main leads always seemed to “accidentally” end up in the same place at the same time. For instance, in one scene, they stood just two meters apart in a hotel lobby, only to walk away simultaneously for the sake of a slow-motion effect. Then there was that moment in the park, where they were once again only a few meters apart, gazing at the same city skyline. Why that park? Is it supposed to hold some significance? There are plenty of other vantage points to enjoy the skyline! And let’s not forget the balcony scene where they were miraculously standing outside their hotel rooms at the same time.
This kind of plot device feels incredibly outdated. I could tolerate it if it happened occasionally, but not every episode.
As for the characters, I can’t offer much insight since I only watched three episodes. However, based on what I’ve seen so far, they haven’t left a lasting impression on me.
Sadly, this drama just doesn’t work for me. But if you find enjoyment in it, I’m genuinely happy for you!

When Crazy Turns Messy!
There are simply too many storylines packed into this drama: Lee Si Na’s quest for revenge, her battle with brain tumor, Noh Go Jin’s former secretaries seeking vengeance, a murder attempt on Noh Go Jin, his memory loss, the fake engagement between Lee Si Na and Noh Go Jin, the reappearance of Noh Go Jin’s first love, and the schemes of Noh Go Jin’s rival—this list goes on and on.With so much happening, it was challenging to focus on the central plot, which seemed to oscillate between revenge and romance. Honestly, I’m still not sure what the main theme was supposed to be.
I went into this series with high expectations because I admire both Kim Jae Wook and Krystal. Having enjoyed their previous works, I anticipated strong performances from them. While the acting was solid, I felt a disconnection in their chemistry; they seemed more like siblings than romantic partners.
In summary, while the individual elements of the story had potential, the overcrowded plot left me feeling overwhelmed and unsatisfied.

a good lullaby to help you sleep
I’ve tried, guys. I really have. I gave this series a fair chance, but I couldn’t get past the third episode—it was just boring as hell.From the moment I saw the mother steal the envelope full of money in episode one, I knew this journey would not be easy. Honestly, it’s not a good idea to leave that much cash sitting on your bedroom table where anyone in the house can access it. It’s incredibly foolish, especially when you don’t trust your own family, like in this case with the mother. Face palm.
As for the characters, they didn’t fare any better. The first daughter comes across as far too naive, while the second daughter often acts rashly without thinking things through. The third daughter is just plain ungrateful, which made it hard for me to connect with any of them.
Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough to fight off the sleepiness that creeps in with each episode. So, sadly, my journey with this drama has to end here.

NO MORE DRAMA SLUMP
i was in a drama slump for months, where i just seemed to have no interest watching any dramas, BUT THIS DRAMA SAVED ME!! it was light, funny and wholesome. hopefully, it stays that way till the end.Park Eun Bin is such a great actress, and Kang Tae Oh’s character is luv!! i know there’s gonna be a bit of comedy in this drama when i saw Kang Ki Young’s name on the cast line-up. i am curious tho whether or not there will be a love line between him and Woo Young Woo, because his name is on the poster alongside Park Eun Bin and Kang Tae Oh, so i assume his character will be somewhat important.
