Simply adore this actor - post credit scene in the Spice up our love - where he is signing surprised me. He is so multitalented, kindhearted and charismatic! 🌹❤️🌹

It was silly but cute and the post credit scene was the best!! I adore Lee Sang Yi - his kind and charismatic nature 🌹❤️🌹 I like that they decided to give us these extra two episodes for no other reason than to enjoy both second leads a little longer after No gain, No love ended. 🌹

Sometimes shorter series work much better. And although this was just 12 ep - it felt like 10 would have been perfect. The director and screenwriter need to be honest with themselves and cut it short if they are scrambling for content... Ugh..too bad… On a positive side - most of the show was really fun with complex issues being brought up that are not normally seen in K-dramas. Shin Min Ah and Lee Sang Yi are both my favorites and pleasure to watch, Kim Young Dae was matched with SMA so well and I liked him better in this series than anywhere else. It’s a 8.5/10 for me.

I knew it - I knew it - I knew it that they will eventually show Lee Sang Yi muscles!!! Ep 11 😆👏💪💪

LOL I mean Kim Sung Ryung - I will never remember Korean actors names although know their faces well 😁

I love mature main cast and veteran actors.
O Geum Hui is amazing - how does she stay so young?!! 🌹😎🌹

It was enjoyable at first - great actors, humor and picture quality, but became very boring in the end - had to skip through 15-16 just to know the ending. For writing like this, they need to know when to cut it short - 12 ep would be enough.

Violent shows is not my thing…This one was highly rated with a star cast and I started it not knowing what I was getting into. I liked the first five episodes the most. Veteran actors were amazing in the later parts and young actors did so well in action scenes. I like that they showed “bad” guys’ sad past making it more humane. Not something I would ever rewatch though.

IMO the best character of Lee Sang Yi is in Once again. Second lead again but his story was very nice there. It’s a long watch though 50 ep family drama…

Yes, reading the reviews is a double edged sword - especially when drama is airing they get most biased and polar. Also I rarely trust the rating, but the couple of first episodes usually say a lot.
The shows I liked the most usually rate around 8 here on MDL. Like this one is a definite 10 for me - writing, acting, humor and even the killer were all refreshingly good. Although not much romance, but they ended it on a positive note and that’s all was needed for a show like this.

If the writing is good the acting can be tolerable 😊

Oh wow - the rating dropped hard. I think the drama is not that bad at all. Yes the ending was jarring and could have given us more time with the leads - but they made it and that’s all that matters.. lol

I didn’t watch this drama - was checking out new stuff when I noticed your rant and definitely agree. ML is a turn down for me as I’ve seen him in Wedding Impossible - same issue.. Can’t agree more on Lee Sang Yi - such a brilliant actor and always pleasure to watch.

So glad to see the rating shot up. It was one of the first k-dramas I watched and remember it still. Great actors and the story.

Definitely! I couldn’t take the sweetness any longer after episode 8… and dropped… The linen scene got under my skin - how can this be not cringe them staring at each other for 4 very loooooong min?! 🤦‍♀️😅😆

Yep - all classic melo stuff - drama and no logic. But other then that the show is great. 😅

It was a good heartwarming scene. This drama doesn’t stop to surprise me with such scenes of kindness.

The same here! She is one of the best female characters out of many dramas to me (hope writers don’t spoil her in subsequent episodes). And Shin Min Ah is absolutely perfect in this role!

Bok Gyu Hyun is written as a very unlikable character - his inability to resist his parents and be his own person irritates the heck out of me. If only it wasn’t for Lee Sang Yi who plays him, who has a very strong presence (just look at his muscles popping through the suit), charisma,confident attitude and kindness seeping through to that character. And because of that as a viewer I cannot hate BGH and instead looking forward to his development into a decent human being.

So many great points in your review! 👏
Up to ep 11 all I was thinking I want to kick ML butt so bad… thankfully our FL gave him a workout. I think I never saw fights like this before - felt real and totally crazy… felt realy good! 😅😜
