I just finished it an hour ago. I really really liked it! The villain is so handsome 😅

💯My thoughts exactly - you put it down so eloquently!

I’m enjoying this far more than I thought I would. I’m only on ep 6, but so far each episode kept me engaged, anticipating the next one. I hope it remains interesting until the end.

I came to read your review because that’s what I ended up rating the 6 episodes I watched. I think you nailed the reason I also did not connect with the show. I ended up dropping it

You’re no alone, I’m in the same boat as you. I did not connect with the show even though the leads are some of my favorite actors… Yes some parts were funny but it lacked something for me - I don’t know what

and the kisses were sooooo good! 🫣🥰

it’s still on Viki if you have a subscription:) But I guess it also depends on what region you’re in for Viki as well?

I also enjoyed My Dearest! Melos are really not my thing either but I do enjoy one once in a while. I really want to rewatch Moon lovers but it’s not on Viki… The OST is amazing as well

I wrote about the harassment in a different post with a spoiler tag :)

The resolution for the harassment plot line is very frustrating but I guess it mimics reality. The company never actually changes. They basically throw one executive under the bus to make it look like they handled the issue, while the whole toxic culture stays exactly the same. Then they start quietly promoting some of the women who complained, not because they care, but because they want everyone to stop talking about it and move on.
What really got me was what happened to Jin-ah. She’s the one person who refuses to stay quiet, and the company completely destroys her for it. They dig up old footage to make her look “complicit,” isolate her with a miserable warehouse transfer, and basically punish her for speaking up. By the end, her quitting didn’t even feel like defeat, it felt like survival. It’s such a frustrating ending, but I think that’s why it hits so hard because it mirrors how these situations often play out in real life.

so you decided to drop 😅yup, I found her super frustrating too! she did not deserve the ML!

I don’t regret watching it, but be prepared for some heartache and anger at some of the characters. The ML was great and I loved watching him develop.:) Let us know if you did end up finishing it and what you thought

end of ep 6 fight scene really reminded me of the beginning guardians of the galaxy vol 2 when Groot is listening to music while the others are having an epic battle in the background:)

Love the OST and cast of this drama!

I wasn’t aware of that cultural fact. I guess I just assumed since many other dramas have single people live alone in their 30s

I’m watching it at the same time as Gaus Electronics to balance the mood :)

I’m half way through this one and finished My mister last month. I much preferred My mister. This one is quite gloomy and not as engaging - the subplots are not as interesting to me.

The mood of this drama reminds me of Melo movie. I’ll finish watching it, but it’s a bit too sad 😔

Love that one! my current fave :) My royal nemesis is quite good too!

that part was great! but the festival part was meh for me. I fast-forwarded through it

Some of the best kdramas only have a 9.3 rating on here…. I actually don’t think I’ve seen a higher rating than that for k-dramas

months later and I’m still obsessed with Jay - Dive into you from the OST
