hi 👋🏼 thinking about starting this drama but before that I'd like to know a bit more about it, without many…
If you enjoy slow-burn romances with realistic, flawed characters and emotional depth, this drama will definitely hook you. It’s not your typical love story. It's more about complex feelings, missed timing, and how love can be messy yet meaningful. The chemistry between leads is undeniable, but expect more internal struggles and less cliché romance moments. The ending is open but hopeful, fitting the mature tone. So, if you like unconventional and thoughtful romances, it’s worth the watch despite the mixed ratings
Previously someone commented that the Esquire logo is 'DARNED.' Well, it really is DARNED. The only thing I could think when I saw Esquire was 'DARNED'.
I really like the 2 epsiodes and Park Min Young is doing a great job with such a different role from her usual RomCom characters. Her portrayal of Yi rang as a quirky, messy, yet super smart sociopath is definitely unexpected but really interesting to watch. From what I've seen of the Japanese original, Dahko was a bit of a freak too, so PMY’s version fits well in that vibe.
That said, the drama’s plot moves pretty quickly, especially since only two episodes have aired so far, and we haven’t gotten much backstory or emotional connection between the three main characters yet. That probably adds to why some viewers feel a bit weird or disconnected from it. But I think there’s a darker underlying storyline that seems to be diverging from the Japanese version, which might answer some of our questions as the show continues so I’m okay with the fast pace and mystery for now.
Overall, it’s a fresh, entertaining take, even if it takes a bit to get used to Park Min Young in this role and the quicker story progression.

Guho's face when Yi Rang was flirting with the curator is gold.
The drama was so perfect up until that point.
But the drama overall was refreshingly healing.
These days law dramas written by lawyers are taking over I guess. I loved "The Good Partner" just like this drama
