Classic and seductive.
Uptated every week !!!!!!!I don't want to rush into expressing my enthusiasm, but I love stories of love and hate, and the first episode was really great. So, I'm saying welcome!!!
This series has given us everything we want as a classic K-drama in the romantic thriller genre. So far, with just two episodes, it's been quite satisfying.
Who doesn't love a contract marriage storyline? I guess we'll never get tired of it. It's potentially very exciting and intriguing.
The chemistry between the couple is definitely intense.
I'm eagerly looking forward to the flirting period.
I'll definitely continue watching!

Comments on Episodes 3 and 4:
The series continued with the same excitement and intrigue as the episodes released in the first week. Since it will last for 12 episodes, I think they need to move the plot along a bit faster, and I expect we’ll see more detailed events next week.
This week, we learned more about the backgrounds of our couple. Both of them have traumas influencing their behavior (of course, it's a must-have in K-dramas). The source of these traumas stems from their bad parents (yes, here we go again).
In a way, both are trying to protect their lives, but they are unaware of each other’s struggles. I believe that in this episode, some of the emotions they’ve been hiding came to light, even if just a little.
Baek Sa-eon’s feelings are clear, but for some reasons, he is not open with Hong Hee-joo. I think he feels guilty about forcing her to stay by his side, which is why he pulls back. He believes his wife hates him, but he protects her in his own way. In the coming weeks, we’ll see the reasons behind it more clearly.
Hong Hee-joo believes she is just a backup and is definitely confused about her feelings for her husband. She has other pressing issues to think about, and she’s focusing more on those. However, she will have the chance to reflect on her feelings in the upcoming episodes because she can no longer deny what her husband and his father have done for her.
She even confessed that he is her husband to protect him, omooo!!! She has now proven to him that she is not alone.
I can't wait to see the scenes of this couple getting to know each other and flirting. I hope they give us plenty of those moments.
I’m eagerly looking forward to the next episodes!

It’s a confusing storyline but ultimately harmless.
I actually felt that the writer's mind was quite confused after the plot section of the series, especially in the next two episodes. I even thought about stopping watching it, but I couldn't help my curiosity about where the story would go.I don't think it's a bad drama, as many people say, but it's not good enough either. It's a drama that stands between the two and doesn't really know which direction to take. While it was bold to try a different approach to the arranged marriage concept we've seen in classic series, it ultimately didn't have the desired impactThe main reason for this is the lack of motivation behind the female character's acceptance of the marriage. It’s hard to believe that a woman who has her own values, fights for her life, and never gives up despite facing constant challenges would appear so desperate as to pursue a fake marriage that she sees as the "role of her life."Another issue is the younger brother's irrational hatred towards the woman who will be his brother's wife, all while being unaware of the marriage's falsehood. His promise to try to win her over feels really strange. Trying to make her fall in love with him to prevent her from marrying his brother? That just seems utterly nonsensical from any angle.o what part of this series did I find appealing? It's definitely the chemistry between the couple amidst the nonsensical plot around them. If we could overlook all that, we could have fully enjoyed the fire between them in a different storyline.

There’s still no hope to raise expectations
I really enjoy the tension and bickering in relationships driven by love and hate. It usually adds a fun dynamic, and you find yourself eagerly waiting for that spark to ignite. However, I found the behavior of the two adult characters in this show quite childish. It seems like they haven't moved on from high school. After 18 years, shouldn't they have gained a bit of maturity? I thought that was kind of ridiculous.I haven't seen enough chemistry between the couple yet; their younger selves were way more exciting to me. It feels a bit early to do a deep dive into the story, but I definitely need more details about their past. Otherwise, it’ll just feel like a high school romance that was never resolved. They may have loved each other a lot, but with all those years gone by, life should have brought them some adulthood. It’s like there was a time skip, and they’re still stuck in the same year. But hey, they're 18 years older now, lol. Like, after they graduated high school, time just stopped, and then 18 years later, they picked up right where they left off. No matter what happens in their relationship, they should be able to handle it more maturely now. One's a teacher and the other's an architect, so it's really not that hard, right? :)))
I found the performances of the male and female leads a bit over-the-top. I hope we get to see more of how their lives went on while they were apart.
I’ll keep watching, but I just hope the story becomes a bit more grounded.
