I thought this drama was just ok, not great, but not terrible either. The first 8 episodes or so kept me interested, and I was curious to see where things were going. But from around episode 9 onwards, the love triangle really started to drag. I found myself skipping quite a few scenes, especially the ones between the FL and the SML. That part of the story felt stretched out for way too long. I also agree with a lot of other viewers who said the SML was given too much screen time.
The romance wasn’t particularly strong either. The chemistry between the leads just wasn’t really there for me, which made it harder to stay invested in the story. Usually when a drama starts to frustrate me like that, I end up dropping it. In this case, I didn’t. Maybe that’s because I wasn’t that emotionally invested from the start. I also didn’t realise going in that it would lean so heavily into a love triangle, but I guess I didn’t have high expectations to begin with.
As for the FL, I’ve seen her in a couple of other dramas before and I’ve never really been a fan. It’s not about her acting, I’m sure she’s a good actress, I just don’t really connect with her on screen. She’s obviously pretty, but personally I don’t find her that attractive. She’s very thin, to the point where she sometimes looks a bit unhealthy. That might just be her natural build, so I’m not making any assumptions, but it’s something that stands out to me.
FL irritated all ppl who love kids, all parents, all moms, all nice guys, and anyone who likes good dramas and…
Regarding her interactions with the SML, when she was flirting with him, did she already have feelings for the ML, or were they still at the bickering stage, meaning she didn’t like him yet? Once she began developing feelings for the ML, did she ease off or pull away from the SML?
How are you surprised? Honest question. Have you been watching this drama? Did you read the synopsis?We all know…
No, I haven’t watched the drama. I’m only on episode 3. What surprises me is the reaction. We always see SMLs get love, no matter what. They can be kind or an evil character, it doesn’t matter. As long as he’s handsome, he gets love, even if he spends many interactions with the FL. However, SFLs get hate for spending just a little time with the ML, regardless of whether they’re good or evil. That’s it. Nothing personal about this drama. When I get further into the drama and am more invested, I’ll probably feel the same as the other comments and dislike the SML, his character, and his screen time. It’s just that I’m not used to seeing viewers dislike a SML.
I’m so surprised by all the comments hating the love triangle and SML’s involvement. I usually only see this kind of reaction when it’s a SFL involved with the ML, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it for a SML before. It’s so weird. Either he’s a seriously bad SML, not that handsom, or the viewers are mostly male. I just can’t wrap my head around it.
Not the strongest start, but it finished fairly well. I wasn’t fully convinced after the first few episodes, though it became more engaging as the story progressed. The romance was decent, not the most compelling at first, but it improved toward the end. Overall, it’s a solid gumiho drama, though better versions of this concept have certainly been made. The FL is beautiful, despite what some jealous female viewers might say. If there were a ML equivalent, someone not the absolute most handsome but still clearly above average, the audience would be eating him up. Stop the cap.
I've just completed episode 3. It hasn't really hooked me like many other dramas in this genre. I don't like the FL's character or the story. It’s like they thought we're due for a gumiho drama, so lets just throw something together without giving it much thought. I hope it gets better, but I'm not optimistic.
Very good. It's simple that touches on a bit of everything with many typical Kdrama characteristics. I love it. I'm not concerned about the original book or manhwa or whatever they call it. I'm here to watch a drama, not to read a book or compare it to one.
Two girls and one guy as close friends? That literally never happens unless he’s gay. Of course there’s going to be tension and drama. Feelings are inevitable in a setup like that.
This story sounds like the Bailu drama where she was empress, died, then went back in time. So the leads know each other in the first life. And I'm guessing the FL knows him but never really interacted with him. But i jave a feeling the ML has always liked her but kept his distance because she was married. Is that how the story goes in the first life?
