The drama is good. I don't think it's just about the issue of infidelity. I believe that viewers from Western countries struggle to understand East Asian culture and the situation of women there. The average level of intelligence in the West has noticeably declined, and people operate on autopilot—following some kind of rulebook where everything is black and white. They lack the ability to understand complexity or the psychology of another person or culture. That’s why they not only judge the infidelity, but also judge the female character. They believe that every woman should naturally act assertively, as Western women are supposedly expected to. They don’t realize that in some cultures, women are raised to suppress their own needs.

The dialogue in episode 5 explained the previous episodes and was apparently the only truly good scene in the entire series. It was very well done, but it’s a shame it was the only scene that felt that authentic. It was supposed to be the explanation, but it could’ve happened back in episode 3 or 4—instead, it dragged on until episode 5. And now it’s already the end, which is unfortunate.

Oh my, what a strange pairing .. I didn't understand at first why it even started with such a typical Korean drama scene... until I realized it's a remake, I'll skip the boredom.

I don't understand why S Koreans love having a main character who narrates the story through metaphors. Is it to sound sophisticated or educational?! Who even cares? There's nothing truly deep about it. I feel like they're stuck in that 90s Hollywood phase.

Episode 4 was the last straw. I have no idea what the screenwriter was thinking—assuming he even thought at all. It feels like a script written by a 14-year-old dreaming of being a screenwriter. Nothing makes sense. She idolizes some waiter—for what, exactly? Because he serves tables well? She decided he’s perfect and flawless. We’re talking about a young woman in her early twenties; maybe someone with cognitive issues who can’t process situations like a normal adult at that age. There’s absolutely no logical reason to keep watching this series, except for idolizing one of the actors.. I’m dropping it

What they did in this series feels completely wrong — shifting the spotlight from the gay couple to the straight one And to ride on the backs of BL viewers.. Honestly, I don’t even really like the show, but it helps pass the time.
Still, the comments here make me want to support the director. Instead of offering thoughtful criticism, people — and it’s always the same type — attack anyone with a different opinion and try to defend or justify their own views. Just give constructive criticism. Everyone has the right to share their opinion — it’s perfectly legitimate.

They probably realized it was affecting their Google ranking , because all these years nothing bothered them, not even spreading hate themselves in their articles. That’s something they likely didn’t consider would hurt their ranking; they thought it would boost it.

The story is quite charming. Overall, it conveys the idea that love doesn't follow the same values you seek in a career, and you can’t predict who you’ll truly fall for—some things are hard to understand. From a narrative standpoint, it's successful. As for the execution, that’s another matter.

The actors are excellent, but everything moves too fast. The direction feels rushed, with abrupt scene transitions and an overwhelming pace. The music is especially irritating. I really like the singer, but this particular song is both annoying and completely out of sync with the series' vibe. It's repeated constantly with no variation in the background music, creating a sense of insensitivity toward the viewer.

This hurriedness in the editing and music also reflects in the characters’ behavior. You don’t feel like you're experiencing the story with them—it’s more like watching everything speed by from a fast-moving train. The characters themselves are quite unbearable and, in some ways, feel inauthentic. Their reactions often don’t match the situation. For example, a character who was deceived and seeks revenge doesn’t even seem angry—instead, she feels guilty, which is very odd. Meanwhile, the character who committed the wrongdoing shows no real remorse or apology.

In short, the characters are very strange. The series was entertaining up to episode 5, but from that point on, it became unwatchable—something you just finish out of curiosity to see how it ends.

Both actors look good and perform well, especially Seong Seung Ha. The first episode was weak, and the second was a bit more interesting. I’m not sure how long it will hold up though, since the plot is a bit too strange. I mean, all these misunderstandings could’ve been resolved if people just talked. It always seems odd to me when they don’t and just walk away like they understand everything. I don’t think adults behave like that, but maybe it’s different in South Korea? Maybe not communicating is considered normal behavior? I really have no idea why the plots are always like this.

Two Dramas in One – Captivating Beauty That Fades- My headline for the series in reviews.

I haven’t completely dismissed it as light entertainment for moments of boredom. Still, I do keep watching the series and commenting on each episode from my personal point of view—if you’ll allow me, of course. And if you’ll also allow me to express my opinion, that would be even better. I thank you, sir.

Don't waste your time.

Episode 6 shows that something bad is happening to Jdramas—In my opinion, they really went too far. This is a series intended for teenagers, and as far as I can remember, there were never scenes that degraded girls in this way. Honestly, it pains me to see this sickening trend.

The actress may not actually be a teenager, but she’s meant to represent teenage girls, and I see no justification for something like this to happen. I think there are already enough American films that fill that disturbing role of exploiting women for views.

It appears that Japanese society is becoming more open and eager for change—but there's a long way to go between teenagers and adult women. It's a very sad change.

A melodramatic story—the employee sent by the mother turns out to be the son she denied all those years.

Episode 1 was cute, but episode 2 really wasn’t great. Things move too fast, and the directing feels too childish—like the way the main character acts and how the scenes are shot. It’s a bit over the top. I guess if it had some humor, it might be forgivable, but it’s just not there.

I was waiting for episode 7, but it was a disappointment. It's a pretty cliché series, though at least there was some suspense up to episode 6.

This is called criticism — welcome to a reality where there are people besides you.

This disgust suddenly comes in waves across different shows at the same time.

It's not coincidental that this "BL" series has a higher budget than usual; it seems to be an attempt to attract BL fans to otherwise uninteresting shows.

The first two episodes were okay, cute, because the main character is full of life, attentive to others. But in episodes 3 and 4, the character becomes unbearable and the opposite of what he seemed to be in the first episodes.
The character pushes a classmate to start dating someone just so he can keep the friend he's in love with to himself.
This means he's acting out of personal interest without being attentive to his surroundings in any way. He also pushes him aggressively, with a complete lack of consideration and not a shade of self-awareness, which personally makes me disgusted by this character and it's unclear to me how anyone can like him.
I understand that everyone has different sides in reality, but this is too exaggerated for my personal taste. I will continue to watch and see if the series improves, but I find it hard to believe.
