I was able to overlook the little annoyance with FL but I think it’s because crime/mystery/thrillers are my fave genre. The crime thriller aspect was really well done and the ML did a fantastic job.
In my opinion I’d give it another try (just try to ignore the FL breathlessness lol).
Never watched Penthouse so can’t give you any feedback on that.

Not sure what relevance "first world countries" has to do with this drama and my comment. The problem with this drama is she is a full-blown adult woman (32 years old if i remember correctly) and he is 15 (a teenage boy in school).
I would feel the same way if the genders were reversed (I really don't like that men get a free pass to date much-much younger women). Any grown-adult dating a 15 year old is full-stop not cool. There's a power and life experience imbalance.
Large age gaps can work when both parties are adults. The kdrama Witch's Romance dealt with issues of large age gap really well because both characters were adults.

I don't really remember a breakup, they had obstacles in getting together but no real breakup... at least that I can remember.

Woah, no need to call people nasty names and leave a nasty message. This is my opinion on the drama and it’s partly in jest hence the laughing emoji…from my comment you can also deduce that I have indeed watched his other dramas and I didn’t make any comments on those.

You just described a lot of my feelings watching this drama lol! I’m actually surprised I was able to finish a cdrama, to me they’re overall pretty bland and terrible (I whole believe it’s the CCP censoring that damages most of them).
I’d like to also add the face makeup on Dilraba was horrendous, she literally had the face color of a corpse while her neck/rest of her body was like 5 shades darker… I know cdramas (and kdramas) love their pasty dead looking white skin but hers was too much.

The main lead romance is ok, I didn’t think there was much of a love triangle. The second lead (actor Lee Soo Hyuk) wasn’t annoying in my opinion… then again I find him to be the incredibly attractive so I might be biased lol

The only two reasons I watched this show, it was a crime/mystery thriller and Lee Joon Gi's face. It was an ok drama ( I was really enjoying seeing LJG's face lol). Like other's have commented, plenty of plotholes, messy writing and use of the usual kdrama tropes which made it a bit hard to finish. Overall I do not regret watching it but would not re-watch.

This drama straight up glamorized an adult grooming a teenager and pedophilia. That's not romantic, he was literally a teenage boy!!!! What in the ever-loving hell is wrong with people?
I'm all for "age ain't nothing but a number" but with people that are fully grown (even an 18 year would be yucky but at least "legal"). This drama was so wrong on so many levels.

I tried, I really did. But the main female lead (I'm referring to psycho girl) was horrendous ... I dropped this after slogging thru 5 episodes, I just couldn't anymore. Not even PSJ's handsome face (minus that hideous haircut) could keep me engaged. They tried to make a woke/modern kdrama but it was just so flat.

This drama was a little odd but maybe it's because I'm not used to kdramas dealing with these types of subject matters. I really like Yoon Shi Yoon as an actor, he's got some versatility.
Was this an amazing drama? not really but it was enjoyable enough.

This drama had the opportunity to be really great but alas it fell flat. Male lead made me want to tear my hair out (I literally yelled out "grow some balls dude!") and female lead (can she even be called that?) was straight up either a psychopath or sociopath (not a psych major so can't confirm which). It dealt with a heavy and heartbreaking subject but not really in a good way.

I'm going to be honest I only watched this because Lee Soo Hyuk was in it lol (his character was kinda dumb, he needs better roles).
Do I remember the storyline very well? Not really... It was fine and the male lead is a pretty good actor (easy on the eyes too). Will I rewatch it? Nope.

I enjoyed this drama (I was a fan of Fringe so that might have influenced my opinion lol). I just realized I've watched quite a lot of dramas with Yoon Shi Yoon in it, I like his acting.

I think this season was pretty much on par with the first season. I think the supporting characters in this season were a bit better though.

Pretty good crime thriller. Female lead is a little annoying with the breathlessness at every turn. However, it was overall pretty well acted (at least by the male lead)and the storyline was engaging enough.

I'm still mad at the friend who recommended I watch this when I first started watching kdramas lol... like I could not look at Lee Min Ho's other dramas (or face for that matter) for months because his face induced rage in me😂
I do not recommend this drama like at all... maybe if you need to let out some rage/aggression otherwise steer very clear!

Frankly I started this drama because they filmed part of it in Portugal lol. It definitely wasn't the worst drama I've seen but some points were a miss. I think the majority of complaints here are because it's not your usual romance ending trope but I actually liked how realistic it was. The two main lead actors did a really good job (i'm a little impressed with SKJ's Portuguese, wasn't expecting that!)

This was a weird-ass drama... like very weird but sometimes kinda funny. Some episodes just made me "wtf" from the weirdness. I can't even describe, you need to jus experience it 😂

Man I really wanted to like this drama (I can sort of relate to the female lead) but boy did it end up disappointing me. The acting was good but the storyline took a nosedive midway thru and for me did not recover.

This drama has me very perplexed. I'm still confused how or why I actually watched this to the end. 🤷🏻‍♀️
