Really didn't think I'd love this drama as much as I do. It's really keeping me on the edge of my seat! Not everything makes total sense, but it's a good mix of comedy, heartbreak and suspense, and let's not forget the intense chemistry! So happy Byeon Woo Seok is finally getting a romance leading role, he's so so so fine. Okay, i'll stop swooning, seriously though, they better give us a really happy ending!

Yeah, I actually dropped after another 20 minutes or so, I just couldn't watch anymore...

I am almost done with the drama, and I have to say, I am surprised by the overwhelming ratings it received that surpassed even a masterpiece like CLOY. I am not saying it's bad – it's just really not that good. Well, three episodes to go, maybe they will blow my mind?

Yeah, Junho is one of my fav actors, but I still couldn't finish red sleeve because of her. Maybe I'll try again one day, but just really didn't feel it back then...

Ok, dropped at ep 8 after all, I just cannot anymore... I wish they'd stop adapting so many webtoons and web novels. No offense meant, I am sure there's some good stuff out there, but also a lot of very cheesy plots that don't hold a candle to published novels and dramas with a good original script. I've been extremely disappointed by romance dramas these past couple of years.

I would say don't bother, I have the same issue with her acting and her character quickly gets very annoying. For some reason she reminds me so much of twilight kristen steward, same blank expressions and then suddenly overacting...

I am currently stuck on episode 7, and hugely disappointed. I loved the beginning of the show (despite LSY's acting, I literally dislike her acting in every drama I watch), but with each episode that passes, it becomes more cheesy and more unbearably cliché. I was so looking forward to a fashion drama, as I am a costume designer myself, but we don't see that much about the actual process, and the FL lead turned from a kick-ass don't-mess-with-me character into a typical gullible damsel in distress.
Don't even get me started on the 'Ha Na' colleague, who's just a jealous and delusional b*tch. he treats FL like garbage and if everything is her fault and FL doesn't stand up for herself. And quite honestly, how could she ask her superior if his wife 'really means that much' to him?? Literally makes NO sense, it's not like they're friends or even very close co-workers, and even then it would be out of line. I will try to continue for the sake of not dropping yet another show, and because I really like the 'maid' (she's the most awesome character in this, easily adapts to any circumstance, doesn't take BS, fights for what she wants, kind and compassionate).

Another reason is that even though I really liked Ji Han's character development, the writing is just too contradictory. In ep 8 he tells his brother to not be so selfish and stop hurting other people with his actions. Then he literally goes and confesses his love to his brother's fiancé. Yes, both of them know that Do Han doesn't love her, but it's still a betrayal, and they should at least confront him before getting all lovey-dovey like they do in ep 9. I don't know, the spark I felt in the beginning is gone, suddenly it's all so easy. It makes no sense. I also just really hate all the half siblings. Terribly cliché on all accounts.

I actually really loved the first 8 episodes, although I couldn't warm up to the FL's expressionless acting. But I feel like it's going downhill from here, a lot of people say the final 4 eps aren't worth watching, so I guess I'll drop it now.

I was gonna skip this, because I also really dislike her acting in all the shows I've seen. Didn't make it past episode 2 on She was pretty, yikes. Kill me, Heal me is a classic and Ji Sung was the only reason I could bear her screaming act. So this one is better? Maybe I'll give it a shot...

I really love that drama and come back to it whenever I need a good romcom. I do have to say, though, parts of episode 3 are fundamentally wrong. Those girls assaulting SDM because she's 'dating' their idol, and SDM forgiving them without so much as a stern warning is baffling to me. The wounds she got from their assault, let alone the emotional trauma should not be taken this lightly. The girls didn't even show any remorse. They would just do it again getting away with it the first time. Also, if she was really their idol's girlfriend, how could they not think about how deeply it would hurt HIM to know she was assaulted and harassed because of their relationship. I do not think they captured the gravity of the situation well enough, even for a comedy.

Yes, and I have nothing against comedy and weird situations as long as it's well made and doesn't use the same trope over and over again.

So actually, I realized I never finished it the first time around, and even now I'll drop it at episode 14. I just don't care anymore, the main couple got so bland and cheesy at the halfmark (also Go Jin's character did a 180 degree turn within like 1 episode and it literally makes no sense. I wanted some character development, yes, but something that's believable. Most side characters just piss me off, especially the unbelievably selfish second female lead, your typical ex-girlfriend who claims she still has first dibs on 'her man' that she dumped 'due to circumstances' to 'protect him' freaking 12 YEARS ago. They probably dated for like... a year or two when they were 20 something, and you tell me she waited more than a DECADE without reaching out even once and then gets pissed off that he moved on? Man, that woman is delusional, I cannot even tell you how bad that writing is.... even 5 or 7 years would've been pushing it, but THIS? pftt... Same for Segi. Pretending to be his best friend, acting all nice and sweet while planning his revenge for more than 6 years, without a smart guy like Go Jin even doubting anything at all is very strange. Anyway, I enjoyed the first half (especially the first time I watched this), but I cannot be bothered to finish it. A shame, truly. Lowering my rating to 6.

The summary does sound a bit lacking. What's actually the main plot of the manhwa? Is there romance, bromance, friendship? Family? Hm, it's definitely not an ordinary drama I suppose.

Ah, also in ep 5 he's just being a bully, quite honestly. And suddenly she doesn't try to hide her face anymore? How would he not recognize her, even if she has a different hairstyle and less makeup, she is OBVIOUSLY the same person. In the first place it was very dumb of her to sign a contract under blackmail that would have her pay 100 times the fee as penalty. She is too gullible, even when the chairman calls her over to have dinner, she could just say she has other plans that day, what's he gonna do, force her to come? It's like she has no common sense, all the 'problems' around the ordeal are made by her stupid choices. I love the cast, but the script is sorta meh...

King the land was really enjoyable, though! The ML there had a much more solid back story, too. Tae Moo's very one dimensional, imo.

While you were sleeping is so much better, though...

Quite honestly, I never quite got the high ratings for that one. I loved the first episode, and had high expectations, but I just don't see the chemistry everyone is raving about. There's no chase. It's very obvious from the beginning that both parties feel attracted to each other, but I really don't feel the spark. Shin Ha Ri repeatedly making an ass of herself trying to hide her double identity is ridiculous, too. Because she draws attention to herself all the more, if she had just acted normal and turned her face away or hidden it behind her hands or waited somewhat, most of the situations could have been avoided. I know it's for the comedy, but when it's funny for the first or second time, it gets old really fast. Sooooo, anyway, it's a fun watch, but not one of my favorite romcoms. I am rewatching btw, first time I rated it a 7.0, it'll probably remain as that score, let's see. Currently at ep. 6

I would say it makes quite sense for the police to suspect her, the car she rented is at the scene and dented from an accident, her letter of resignation is in the living room, so is a hammer with her prints and she obviously has no business being on the property as merely his secretary in the middle of the night (while he is on vactation). There's the blackbox footage of them arguing, too. Of course she would be the prime suspect. But to that's not the main reason to pretend to be his fiancé (because although it would explain why she was there in the middle of the night, it would make her look even more suspicious, it's mostly the people close to us that commit crimes, especially in relationships), but because she seizes the chance to get back at him and have her revenge, she explains that to her friend at the hospital. Her biggest regret at that moment is that because of his amnesia he doesn't remember her shouting at him and swinging that hammer, her first taste of satisfaction towards him. Perhaps you missed all of those little hints by skipping too many scenes?

Also, this is just a random side note but Kim Jae Wook looks SO much better with longer wavy hair like in Her Private Life. I could swoon over that character there. I mean, I get it doesn't suit his character here, but still...
