Utterly dreadful. I'd go as far as saying this is the worst drama I've watched in 2024, and the final episode confirmed that for me. The premise was good. The earlier episodes interesting and engaging. The actors were good and owned their characters. However, the writing failed spectacularly. Where was the romance? What happened to Kim Sa Ra and Dong Ki Joon's back story? Did the writer forget?

The romance was an absolute joke. Totally unbelievable. We were shown perhaps one, maybe two romantic moments between our leads and the final episode has them in the last 15 minutes, choosing rings and having an utterly ridiculous conversation about breaking up after five years and re-marrying? What even was that?! Then we have a laughable wedding, based on the premise that our 2nd couple have been dating, for what, 2-months. You honestly, couldn't make this shit up. There was absolutely no build up or screen time given to these romances, so in turn, zero believable chemistry.

I feel sorry for Kang Ki Young, as this was his first lead role and I thought he did well with what he had to work with. However, even he couldn't save this car crash of a drama.

It's a 2/10 for me... and no I'll never re-watch.

I honestly wouldn’t waste your time.

I too adore a BL where you have a lead who’s confidently arrogant. I find it incredibly sexy and entrancing. The writer has written Iwanaga’s dialogue beautifully. A proper, seemingly bad boy, who knows what he wants and will stop at nothing to get it.

I especially love the way he flirts and teases Miyata, to the point where Miyata in his own words says: “I’ve always wanted him.” Now that’s seriously sexy in my books.

Interested to learn their back story and why Miyata didn’t turn up on that day for their planned meeting. I’m sensing a girl was Involved.

Hilarious. Delusional thinking obviously suits your personality. I’find myself beyond bored with your responses. More importantly, I don’t want to tie up the feed for such an excellent drama with your attention seeking childishness.

I quote: “ like do u not have anything better to do in life instead of binge watching? ”

Has amnesia set in perhaps?

Ah, well at least we agree on one thing. You liked @Maggi64’s original post, hence why you responded to her. Touché

I honestly don’t think it knows what it wanted to be. Somewhere / somehow the writer and Director got seriously lost.

Isn’t he just.

As I expected. Your brain doesn’t appear to run too deep.

Which says a lot about you. And, especially, when someone replied to your rudeness with such a thoughtful, factual comment. I think you may be missing the point of what MDL is. What it is not, is a forum to post rude, personal insults to another commentator, irrespective of whether you disagree with their post. #JustSayin'

Excellent rationale and thought process. I don't understand it either

So true. Lovely opening episode.

I know right. You can't make this shit up. Me and you both - barely holding on.

That's OK and thank you for your sincere response.

I don't hate it, as I actually think the actors have done a great job with an incredibly shit script and direction. I'm also intrigued to know about our leads back-story, which I find absolutely laughable hasn't been unveiled as yet. Don't even get me started about the lack of romance.

I don't hate watch. Life is too short for such negativity and my spirit is positive. I'm a person who will drop a drama at the blink of an eye if I find it delivers dreadful writing, bad direction, bad acting and zero chemistry between our leads.

Hey you. Totally agree. However, I’m going to hang in there for the final episode and then cheer when it’s over.

Totally in agreement with you. The actors have definitely delivered their characters.

Ooh! This is good. This is very good indeed. Loving the dialogue, it's so sexy and flirty. Finally a mature, Japanese BL, where our 30-year old leads, actually act like grown arse 30-year old males. Currently, no signs of slapstick or childish mannerisms in sight! Long may it continue. I'm pointing my finger at you 'Although I Love You, And You.'

Damn, Furuya Robin is one fine specimen of a man. He literally oozes sex appeal.

Excellent first episode, very much looking forward to next week.

Because the writing is utterly dreadful.

EP 11 just had me thinking too little too late! 1 hour 20 minutes of a drama and we literally get 20 minutes of satisfactory revenge. This drama just screams "missed opportunity." The writing is indeed a travesty - a spectacular fail! I don't even know why it has a romance tag, because the romance has literally been non-existent; and we're still yet to find out the back-story between our two leads.

From the preview to the finale, the writing is going to fall deeper into the depths of the ridiculous, with No Yool Sung kidnapping Kim Sa Ra. We'll then be left with a rushed 20 minutes, if that, of romance between our leads and a nod to their back-story.
