I dropped it at ep 8. Read below if you want to listen to a rant.
Also no shade to anybody that enjoyed it! I definitely understand why people would like this show. It's still a fun lighthearted rom-com, its just wasn't for me :)
I dropped it half way through. This movie has some really talented actors who are usually amazing, but everybody's performance in this is really jilted. The directing and screenplay is really bad, it feels like a rookie movie.
I normally really enjoy older woman/younger man romances because I think the dynamics are so fun, but this one did not sit right with me. The ML is still in highschool and the oldest he could be is like 18? But his mentality is that of a middle schooler whereas the FL is around mid 20's with a kind of daughter. She's a full grown adult and doesn't seem to have any boundaries with this apparent highschool that acts way younger than a high schooler. It just made me really uncomfortable especially since she doesn't seem to think of it as strange at all.
Why are the cases so easy to guess? The ML is supposed to be a genius but his deduction skills are pretty subpar. Dude literally saw a guy in a wheelchair, looked directly at his shoes with creases which meant they were worn a lot, and didn't even think about it until afterwards??
And the FL is supposed to be smart too, but shes pretty slow in her case guessing. They literally follow a suspect to a graveyard and they believe him to be a murderer. He is literally digging a grave and the FL is confused as to why he's doing it?? Brooo it's literally to hide the body of the person that they suspect he just killed! I don't get ittt.
I absolutely love the vibe and tone of the show. It's set in the 1900's with beautiful set design and costume design, but I don't know whether to keep watching it or not. The crew who worked on the set obviously worked harder than those that made the script. Currently on ep 6, we'll see if I actually drop it or not.
This has got to be one of my favorite couples of all time! I absolutely loved their hate to love romance where they always kept the same bickering friendship too. I love that the ML fell in love with her and saw her flaws as more things to love.
She never got a makeover and kept her rosy cheeks even at the end. The ML was rich, but that never played a huge role and instead of the FL moving into his huge apartment in the end, he moved in with her. He moved into her cozy small home, because that was her safe place and it felt like a part of her, so he loved that too.
Solid 8/10. Just skip all scenes of the secondary couple and that last few episodes, you can literally skip to the the main couples scenes because a ton of random drama happens. That's a 2015 kdrama for ya.
This show somehow feels like an cdrama from 2017. Rom-com cliches were at their peak and this show is just really cringey cliche moments that make me feel 2nd hand embarrassment. It's a really cute wholesome show, but just not for me I guess.
I'm not a big fan of business dramas, family drama, or mysteries, but somehow I really liked this show. It was a very mature drama for cdramas and I really enjoyed it. 8.5 of 10 for me
I've been wondering why this show felt so much warmer than other cdramas and finally realized, they didn't put on that horrid filter. I think that the 1st ep is the only one where everything is super white. The rest of the show has natural colors and you can see the actors natural skin tones and everything, I love it!

A pretty fun movie with the ending being the best part.
