A Great Watch
I finished this drama even without the subs in the last 4 eps and that says a lot as a watcher: I loved this drama!Why do I like it? Primarily, I'm a sucker for love stories and this show has a beautiful one. Defying the stereotype of big age gap, maybe 15 years, they made it a non issue as he was just totally smitten and treasured her as she adored him. Their chemistry was off the hook; so many tender scenes, he standing up for her in awkward moments, etc. I enjoyed her cooking, and his pleasure of eating. I was also happy that there wasn't a crazy evil antagonist; pretty mild when compared to many other dramas.
What I wasn't too thrilled about: the side stories didn't latch on. They were more irritating to me than being cute. The plot of adding younger brother as an opponent i felt was added too late that when drama about to wrap.
Overall, I would watch again with skips to the main leads. The story was creative, acting especially by main leads was very good. The accompanying song was good. It had a great ending made to have a second season..Haha! I really loved this cdrama and extending my visits to this group besides kdramas.

Satisfying and Rewarding
I started this review while ongoing and now it’s done, I’m editing my final analysis.Cast: From main leads to supporting, I think this one is well chosen.
Li Xian (Mai Dong) -i give him credit for choosing works that makes his acting credible. Seen him in go go squid and meet yourself. With this third one, he’s secured a spot in my top seven list of male Chinese actors. He brings out the character he plays so well you just admire it. He’s the cold, serious, never smiles mortician…until Jie.
Zhou Tong (Z Jie)- is an incredible versatile actress with a colorful array of roles with big actors. She’s unfiltered, unabashedly comfortable in this role which makes her character so endearing. She has a handicap but it doesn’t stop her from pursuing her dreams, and a love in MaiDong.
Wan Peng (Xiaxia) has a minor role as bestie of Jie. Loved her in My girlfriend is an alien. Here’s she’s almost unrecognizable with her matured new (to me) look. Beautiful.
The rest of cast are so good each putting in their best to compliment and complete this storytelling.
Writing is very good. So many poignant points about life. It really makes you think. FL had lots of insecurities and there are some parts she may seem toxic even. What I like though is how ideal relationships should be. One part she said something totally out of place that really hurt ML. Immediately though she sought his forgiveness, explaining her why’s. I think for many who haven’t had love lives may be turned off automatically after this incident but those of us who have can relate that it’s relationship building in progress. This couple did make progress, big time.
I think it’s unique that the main guy is a make up artist of the deceased. The portrayal of the handling of others loved ones makes me appreciate those who do these acts. These artists are in the background, hardly thought of, recognized. This gives an enlightenment of sort. Definitely an appreciated work.
There’s so many thoughtful lines that goes along that gives us so much feels. “Life is full of different destinations. Eventually you’ll go the grave”. “People buy special urns or beautiful tombstone to make their loved one standout. Those are just illusions. Once you’re dead, you’re dead. Nothing more outstanding than that. Therefore, live the best life you can, while you can”.
This drama is for the matured thinkers. It’s written well, and acted well. As for romance? You got to see it to believe it. It’s exactly as how two people who have just fallen in love act. Finally we see that true warmth of love through eye connections, touches, real hugs, and kisses. Definitely modern display of love. Kissing in public? What? No fish kisses either. Chemistry is sizzling I’m piqued whether it’s acting or real. lol. They did well. Appreciate their work.
It takes an explosive incident to put the decision at rest. Together forever we will be. Done. Very well done.

Suspensefully Good
This series is finally finished and though I am not an advanced writer I just like to express thoughts of how I view a show so hopefully it can help someone else trying to decide.Cast:
Lee Yoo Ri (EunSoo) well known from her stellar acting in Father is Strange (great family drama if you haven't seen it) is the protagonist here. Her character here is really different from other one so its kind of hard to compare. My takeaway of common tropes in kdrama is the trance look/slow moving and it bugs me when it's overdone. Other than that she delivered well as a woman that is wronged. Yeon Jung Hoon (Kang Ji Min) as a loving father and persistent journalist is a polished actor and male lead. We can't stand most antagonists and you'll hate Lee Hwa (Kim Ho Ran) as the mother in law who is infuriatingly evil but man she is good. Go Na Hee (Woo Joo) is the little girl who is adorable and the heart of the storyline. The rest of the cast are excellent though if I could make adjustments, I would of given more family support scenes to Kwon Hwa Woon (Yeon Joon), the pro golfer, (EunSoo's childhood "brother") to add substance to her role of not having any family.
Storyline:
Maybe because I'm a fairly new "adoptee" of kdramas/asian dramas, I find this plot really compelling and interesting.....framed for murder, giving birth in jail, etc. I won't give more away. The thing is, the writer and production team did an excellent job weaving the story through from present to past and then gradually connecting the dots, keeping us in suspense but hungry for next and next. After all is done with the "who done it" and "why", in the heart of it is a beautiful love story of a man and a woman and a little girl. This is a well rounded great series (in my opinion) so if you are looking for your next drama binging, this is the one.
Overall: easily a 10 for me but I'm a novice..Let me know if you liked it afterwards. It might help me as an aspiring writer. Thanks.

Motel California in Korea
For this story, the beginning might start out a little slow, confusing, irritating, at some parts. Two childhood friends, as different in personality as night and day, yet their closeness as fluffy as a teddy bear. Bearing the “shame” of parental uncompromised relationship resulting in tragedy, the pair bore the scrutiny, gossip, pointing fingers of the small town they lived. Unbearable to her, their friendship ended when she left town. With this outline builds this story. It’s a story of overcoming barriers, stigma. It’s a story that gives us a glimpse of life in real time through that of Kang Hee, the main character. There’s the saying that children shouldn’t bear the mistakes of parents. That’s definitely a theme here. KH is definitely a complicated character in the beginning. Stick with her as you will understand. With so many other life lessons, this story unfolds like a beautiful budding flower that by episode eight, I legitimately have adopted myself into it.Lee Se Young (Kang Hee/Gang Hui) is such a versatile actress. Historical, modern, cross cultural, she has really made her mark in acting. I like her in this role. She’s headstrong, stubborn and determined not to be undermined by her painful past and problems of present. Her character is somewhat similar with that in What Comes After Love. Those hard stares can freeze the bones. She really does shine in this character. Her emotional scenes are very well done. Had me teary too as I can identify her pain in those moments.
Na In Woo (Yun Su) plays the character that is hard to adjust to. He’s quiet, slow to respond. However, as it progresses, he grows into you. His role as the foundation to Kang Hees emotional roller coaster life is heartwarming. Kind, understanding, and patient, he’s her solid rock. Episode eight is so beautiful. He is very clear, concise, and becomes a man. You’ll see.
Kang Hees father in the drama is the father everyone can want. Charming, humorous, slow to anger, not a pushover. Yes, his relationship with his daughter is strained yet, their bond and love for each other is obvious.
There’s many other great themes here. Orphan. Childhood bullying. Stigma. Forgiveness. Everything is resolved and by the end i continue to smile. Yes, very satisfying end. Be patient in first few episodes and you’ll be happy you stuck through to the end.

The story within the story.
I love this show for the way it’s written and shown. I believe in all the dramas I’ve seen, this is one where it really gives us thorough background of the characters so it’s a well woven story of the people in it. It’s so well acted, yes I’ll get to the leads but all the others are doing a marvelous job in their own parts. I’m specifically shouting out the elders and much appreciation to their work. The leads have a great future in their industry as I can only see their skills as getting better.This story has everything from power struggles not just in crown but each involved families in its surroundings. I can see the well plan of details as well as story as it keeps us in all states of emotions. Yup, well balanced. I look forward to upcoming episodes but also with the foreboding notion it will come to an end. A very well written, directed, and casted production I’m thoroughly enjoying.

It’s really sloppy writing and directing in my opinion. I mean (you’ll see), just some things are so unrealistic it’s ridiculous. He’s about to look at marriage certificate when phone rings so he doesn’t. I mean you look at it while on phone is probably what ninety nine percent of humans would do. There’s no slow motion in opening a chinese certificate , come on. On and on he gets close to finding out just before something intercepts. I get they’re trying to build the suspense but by the second interruption, it’ll only build your bad vocabulary and brain spasms. Yes, nineteen episodes and she’s still at dodgeball full swing.BUT, it’s not bad. As a commenter said in comments, watch with your smart cells off. It’s a sweet popcorn watch with whole kernels here and there. Leads are eye candy and seriously though, main guy really does have smoldering eyes that are too lovely to skip over. Lots of skinship that some see as aggressive. I know it’s fiction only in my sight so you can say it’s weird that I find it romantic pursuit.
So, don’t be turned off too quickly and give it a try if you’re looking for a fluffy sweet romance. If you’re serious minded and hate overloaded cliches and plot holes, it’s not for you.

Watch for main leads
The synopsis turned me off...plastic surgery? No thanks. The poster with the leads drew me in. Male lead isn’t the typical “pretty” “gorgeous” type everyone fawns over. He is also older. If anything like Dating in the Kitchen, I wanted to try.Sure enough, I enjoyed it. The business side of it showed some brilliance in ideas. Like other stories, there’s the schemers and conspirators trying to oust the top guy. While there’s some crazy twists, there’s some nice surprises that are noteworthy.
Synopsis seeming to focus on plastic surgery is wrong. Except giving the idea that it’s dangerous if not done right, that plot was gone right after one of the sisters had one. I guess how a person changes not just physically but mentally fits in.
Janice Wu as the kind sister Xiaoting was excellent. She encounters lots of degradation but handles them with her head held up and a maturity beyond her age and experience in work field. Edward Zhang as Lian Sheng turned out to be exactly the character I wanted to see. He is very matured, quiet and thoughtful. Their meeting should of never happened and as it goes with Chinese dramas going around circles when if they simply ask, lots of dumb runaround would be avoided. His disguise at initial meeting is hilarious and he’s perfect. From there, the relationship development slowly made its way to one that was so beautiful. She’s young, he’s a lot older yet when he fell first, it was just adorable. Their chemistry was so good and I appreciate this a lot in artists acting ability. There’s a twist that springs out late that adds spice.
The supporting cast were good, when not annoying. The second leads were immature and their relationship was weird. Writer sort of dropped them towards end. The nice thing added is that there were no super evil characters, slappers, screamers (well, that’s more of kdramas to be fair). It was a pretty smooth storyline and I watched all the way through..even un subtitled few last episodes.
I could actually go back and rewatch this. It’s a 9/10 for me.

Simply Enjoyable
How do I start describing this story to give it justice…The story. Writers did a great job weaving this tale of greed. Sometimes you lose something to realize you had it good but it’s too late. Sometimes it takes one event to change your destiny that you didn’t look for. This is a well woven drama of a well orchestrated revenge by a strong female. It’s unlike other revenge dramas so it kept viewers very interested.
Twist. There’s a formidable sisterhood that develops that may shock you. Two women with different struggles met on the premise of betrayal. What’s endearing is that behind the layers of the initial conflict, is the discovery that even enemies can be the greatest of foes. You will see it when you watch. This friendship is undeniably cool.
Cast. ML (Huang Xiao/Gu Xu) doesn’t really come into play until later episodes. In fact, the female lead’s husband (Li Feng/Wei Ming)is just as well the main lead as he’s the focus pretty much. About that husband. The actor does a good job. His character is so shady though he’ll have you seething. FL ( Zhang Xiao/Lin Shuang) is new to me so I can’t say much about her acting. Her character is the kind that if you’re impatient, you wanna say, “let’s go, move it”. It’s about the best way I can describe her. It can frustrate you (as me) but I think she’s playing well to her character (meek, quiet, low key). The close friend to female lead (Jenny Zhang/Jiang Xi) could very well be 2nd female lead as her story becomes unexpectedly entangled with the other yet, her involvement without doubt adds to the strength of the story.
The romance is slow slow burn and in this drama, it fits in very nicely to the story. It’s very matured, and I like that a lot. There’s no obvious chasing, or silly tropes. These are very grown adults who are patient and allow their feelings to come naturally.
From beginning to end it kept me piqued to know the next and next. I am very happy with ending.

Looking at the characters, their past, their reason of actions brings to life the complexities of humanity. These people did not wake up and decide they were gonna act as is. Look at the path. Humanize the characters. Although it seems like viewers takes the story at its face value of the actions, and rated it as such, it’s too bad. There’s lots of depth that if people would be open minded to, then it’s a story that is sad and thoughtful.
The cast are exceptional. I think everyone delivered and their performance is worthy of applause. I’m saying it’s okay to feel about the actions of the characters per se, but don’t put down the entire production because of it. Give the show a try.
Scored low on rewatching because I know what I need to know so most likely not to.

What Is Not To Like?
I believe everything in the rave of this drama has been accurately expressed in most, if not all that’s said already. I mean it’s about nearly perfectly executed. A girls love in every step from when she felt it to its maturation, is so relatable to us, no matter what age. For older ones (me), it’s a reminder of that time when our stomachs felt butterflies in our crushes. Younger generation? Yeah, this is a great portrayal of union done right. The leads, Zhao Lusi and Chen Zhe Yuan, absolutely nailed their parts and carried this drama to a nestling masterpiece.I particularly loved the way she cared for him. She’s much younger than him ((story) but her defense of him, from giving him money, to throwing water, to comforting him like she’s his mother was so touching. I don’t want to get mushy on everyone so really. Find out for yourself why this drama scored so high among viewers. It has a great storyline and wonderfully acted by its main and supporting cast. Of course, bravo to screen writer and producer and their team.

Seize on the goodness of what you have lest you lose it
Our feelings varies as to what we want to see in a drama. I’m going on a limb though to say we can all agree that we want strong leads that act the part to a well written story. I believe you will find it here.Tan Yun, plays NingMeng, who was a secretary to the Director of an Investment Firm (played by LinXen). Her educational background and dreams is to be an Investor. She had to quit her job to make that happen. Tan plays the role perfectly. She acts upon her hunches, not easily discouraged, is kind, takes challenges based on her instincts of good investments, is willing to help the disadvantaged, etc.
LinXen, is Lu Ji Ming, the Director who is cold, as cold as can be. He doesn’t know proprietary. He speaks his mind which can be ruthless to anyones feelings, especially Ning Meng. He puts her down, especially her dreams as an Investor. He treats her as his maid more than secretary as he takes her with him, no matter what hours. He’s so dependent on her, is very comfortable with her efficiency that he fought to keep it this way, discouraging her investment dreams, til she left.
You know the saying, ‘you don’t know a good thing til it’s gone’. After she leaves, this is where the character development starts. Hers, in establishing herself as a confident, articulate, and very perceptive investor. His, in recognizing that! It is also where the heart comes to play. For him, it’s like an awakening. Wait, why did I really want to hang on to her. The dawning will have its effect that digs into the deepest part of his soul, and becomes another big part of this story.
There had been comments that LinXin is terrible at this role. I beg different. He’s perfect! He’s older, a grouch, very particular in his ways, has not had any relationship besides a crush on a childhood older friend, so he’s rugged, rough edged even. His development is the biggest, like a big brown bear turned koala. He becomes soft, admiring, and more for who he lost.
The side characters, from friends, exes adds to the allure of the story. The business part of the story is well researched in its products I feel. Of course there’s the manipulators and schemers in business that adds the twists.
I think you’d like this a lot if what’s described is to your type. It’s still ongoing but whatever the ending, I’ve been satisfied with my investment of time.
Was this review helpful to you?
I think what makes this series strong is the way it paces. It starts with one significant plot but it builds on other subplots which is in turn, making the lead characters bolder to then have a great resolution to her primary letdown. It’s interesting because the two main ladies are so different in personalities, outlook, so their partnership slowly builds from mistrust but do form a bonding sisterhood at end.
I think this is the first law cdrama I’ve seen so I’ve been mesmerized with the cases and operations of the law, especially in a firm. If anything, it’s eye opening and thought provoking. Cases are interesting.
Everyone does a good job, antagonists and protagonists. Male lead here is hated and disliked so much by fl I wanna reach in tell her to chill a bit. haha He’s not that bad, for sure to her. He’s smart and knows how to be a lawyer, both sides i would say.
Don’t be a sleeper on an excellent show by veteran casts that are so good. I think editors did a good job where they ended the season. An identifying plot, a build up, climax, and a resolution happened so that it leaves watchers pretty satisfied. The last scenes though keeps watchers hungry to see detailed outcomes of resolution, unfinished business (Mr Han), as well as more interesting cases. Of course, the romance (to be or not) of leads. I’d say everything is pretty well done and I’m so looking forward to the continuation.

Superb
I’ve just finished so I want to add my takeaways as I have a lot of thoughts after completion. I only add spoilers in case I unintentionally do but I promise to try not to…..word of caution.You would be surprised off your pants when you realize this is a remake because it independently stands alone as an excellent piece. This is for those who haven’t seen the original. On the other hand, you would praise the creativity of these producers for their adaptation and how they made it equally as good if not better…if you watched the original. In all, this is engagingly good and deserves a lot more buzz than it currently is receiving.
First, this drama is quiet, almost like a silent movie. This might be off putting if you’re into fast paced heavy dialogues. However, the leads Mark Chao as Jia Qi and Zhang Zifeng as Zhou Yuan perfectly relays the emotional language of the drama. Conversations are often brief, restrained or deliberately unfinished. Long pauses, averted eyes, and shared quiet moments carry more weight than words. This is more so in first few episodes so adjust to it. However, as you silently watch, you absorb the undertones of what the characters cannot say or have learned not to say. It conveys loneliness without melodrama. I became accustomed after minor frustrations because I’m impatient but trust me, it’s impactful once adjusted to remind us that healing doesn’t always come from words. Both leads are doing such an excellent job, so impressed.
Second, it’s heavily character driven. Here is a story of two people who are totally opposite in life. Status, age, family situations, etc. He’s middle aged in a highly considered job. A family man with a child, with a loving supportive mother and family. However, he appears trapped in a stagnant marriage and suffocating workplace politics. She’s in her early twenties, struggling with debt, low paying jobs, caring for her ailing bedridden grandmother. As each episode unfolds, you become absorbed in their feelings and emotions. They are us, one way or another so that’s why it feels connective.
So how do they connect? That’s the core of the story. How do they? Why? It’s definitely unintentional. Their meeting actually intersects through a morally gray corporate scheme. So as not to spoil much, I hope this is enough to whet your interest to know how this unfolds. It does subtly in ways that make us as humans think quietly of our own lives connecting situations and emotions. It has that effect throughout every episode.
The leads relationship is complicated. Somehow they connect, yet don’t. She’s young, hungry for anything that brings meaning to her life. Unintentionally, she is drawn to the male lead as she hears his struggles, and finds him to be kind and just. She becomes aware of his personal problems and becomes drawn to him, almost as his protector. He on the other becomes very aware of her cold demeanor but discovers by chance her poor situation. Because of that, he shows her kindness and support. They begin to form a pact almost, two people internally struggling finding comfort in the company of each other. I wouldn’t say it’s romance, but more of an unlikely friendship difference in age and status, yet recognize the warmth of companionship in each other.
The side characters are those dear to the leads. His wife, mother, his brother and uncle. Her grandmother, her one friend, and her enemy who was once her childhood bestie. There’s also the office characters. They play an integral part in balancing the story, connecting the leads growth, as well as real life presentations of life in general. They don’t overshadow the leads story. It’s actually well balanced to complement the whole storytelling.
An added powerhouse is the OST. I actually searched the song that stood out to me because It mirrors the dramas quiet style reinforcing the characters. Its called When The Dandelion Blow Away Long Voyage.
“ The wind tugs at my roots, yet I stand and face the storm. Life may weigh and dreams may bend, but I will rise and carry on”. ( For Yuan’s perseverance even when life is harsh)
“I’ve walked through storms and silent nights, carried burdens that few can see. Yet in stillness a new light gleams, a hand to hold, a chance to be” (Jiaqi’s patient nature and willingness to trust). Actually the whole ost is beautifully aligned to the story, so it’s very well incorporated.
In some ways I am happy to write this totally free from the well known and loved original, My Mister. I haven’t seen it but my daughter loved it. This then hopefully gives you a little insight as to how the adaptation of this version is and makes you want to check it out. I am totally enjoying it. It is
overall a superb production from the script writing, the acting, cinematography, the plot, with every episode leaving the desire for more.
——————————————————————-
It is finished! 1/26/26
I’m able to read the two other views and I appreciate reading their comparisons. However, mine stands independent from original so therefore, totally based on this alone. In my unqualified opinion, the leads, side characters, everyone in this series deserve an award for their part. They delivered excellent performances that drew in viewers to emotional heights that touches deeply. The directors, writers, producers managed to nearly bring a complete story without any loose ends. (few leftouts at ending). This is a masterpiece. My unqualified opinion of masterpieces is a story that widens perspective to every day life and it’s nuances, and not just touches your heart, but makes you think long and hard of it’s effect on things that matter to our humanity. Though loaded with so many themes, it’s long enough. I’ll just touch on two that most stood close to my heart.
Yuan and her grandmother lingers long and meaningful. I loved their relationship. I honor this young girl for taking care of her elder. I can’t begin to imagine their life of survival. Their few scenes of communication, thru signing, smiles, head kisses were so precious. Yuan taking her to see the moon….oh my heart. I’d love to meet the actress who played grandma so I can hug her sweetly and tell her she’s a phenomenal actress. In my culture we prioritize elder care.
Yuan and Jiaqi, a love story for the ages. Love that wasn’t romantic, love nevertheless. Love that connected through shared loneliness and hardships, that flourished quietly and effectively. The breakdown of barriers are loads of tears, especially for the young girl who had to carry an overloaded load. Jiaqi recognizing her burdens, showing compassion, it helped her unload and recognize her self worth. In doing so, he thawed his own burdens, by the silent understanding and support from her. This tells us that at our most human, we are fragile, tired, and often alone. Yet even in that state, we are still capable of deep kindness. Love can come from kindness that can be life saving in ordinary, unglamorous ways.
This drama in itself is extremely good. Excellent even. I have nothing to compare it with. That makes me happy. Worthy of recognition for its deep messages that embeds where it matters…the heart. I’m so glad as it’s a healthy reminder that our lives intersects differently but at its core is that kindness and acts thereof are healing medicine in walk.
I will love to see My Mister someday, and I will watch it without comparison. I know from everyone’s praises that it too will have resounding connections. Isn’t that what we seek from these entertainment tools? Far long, thank you for reading. Take care.

It gets better so please be patient
This story is told in the past and present. The young cast are awesome and most likely well see more of them in future dramas and lead roles. They’re so good and natural. I’m particularly impressed with Hong Min Ki, (young Seok Ji Won) as he really nailed his role. Wow. The back story is good with a few annoyance's of repeats. Though the flashbacks are good, it continues to be a mystery of what actually happened. As the older and current characters meet again, there’s a lot of angst in the two leads. What exactly happened? That’s what makes the beginning episodes up to six or seven. Yes, there’s annoyances here and there because i feel it’s a little messy in some parts. However, it’s a great anticipation to see what separated these young people, especially since they were so in love. So, be patient as it gets better as the why’s clears up..Episode seven is where it really picks up. It’s where the heart starts to flutter as the adults begin adulting in their decisions and truths. This is where you can say, okay then let’s get this romance going. Up to episode ten, relationship building intensifies, and their shared cuteness becomes your own smile. It’s like the shortcomings of the beginning is redeemed and insignificant because the present is satisfying. Lots of cute moments, lots of rewatch moments.
I’m greatly enjoying this. Maybe for those in mid ages it comes as refreshing as most rom-com features younger cast in twenties to early thirties. Leads here are in forties and in a way, they portray what dating can look like in that age. Regardless, it’s super cute and just my right cup of tea seeing this couple reignite what was lost many years ago.
Jun Ji Hoon ( Seok Ji Won) is a handsome man, so of course he holds my attention. More than that though, this role in a rom-com is so welcoming. I mean, for people in his age group and beyond, it’s cool to see that love may not be secured in your younger years but can come later when it’s right. I like his characters calmness in all things, even in challenging moments (getting slapped by dad in front of his love). That maturity is every woman’s want and he does it so well, in action and in his voice. Jung Yu Mi (Yun Ji Won) is alright. Though I might have a suggestion for another actress, she wins me over as story progresses. No sense in criticizing because she is the chosen one so the best I can do is root for her. They look good together in their role although, I wish they can be more natural in expressions and action. After all, they are older, in script and in life.
*******updated*****
The last two episodes was a bit lackluster. It just didn’t click, or standout to stick as it fades close so it’s a bit disappointing. I feel that Jun Ji Hoon wasn’t really into this role. Jun mi just didn’t fit the role either. Admittedly, I’ve come to this conclusion as it has ended. Though it tried to connect what had separated them years ago, it lost its spark. It’s a happy ending though.

Lovely romance
I’m giving this a perfect score on my vertical drama standards. I absolutely enjoyed this. Story is definitely typical of rich guy poor girl so not exceptionally unique. Writer though stuck from start to end in wonderfully developing the building of their relationship without unnecessary disruption of side stories or third wheelers. ML had no one else but her once he fell and likewise, she managed their secret office romance without silly misunderstandings. They were professional at work and perfectly aligned personally. First cdrama where two consensual adults had no coyness about skinship, and it is so welcoming and hope to see more. So if you are up to a story where actors are mature and pointed, while giving fluff to the way of the heart in their relationship, this is a good one. No not overly fluffy as it’s slow burn but meaningful enough and engaging.Was this review helpful to you?
