I actually really liked this drama. Even though the storyline wasn’t 100% original, it still felt fresh and fun. I have a love hate relationship with reincarnation dramas so it says alot when I genuinely enjoy a drama with this type of plot. The Main leads had so much chemistry despite there being a age gap irl. It felt like they were the same age. Their relationship was so entertaining from beginning to end. And the complex background was the cherry on top. The side characters were very entertaining. This coming from someone who usually skips the side characters screen time. I liked how realistic the main couple’s relationship was. I liked that despite the crazy stuff the 2fml was pulling, the ML never let it stop him from pursuing the FML. I like that HE liked and chased HER first, this is literally my favorite trope. The Shaman elements really brought this drama together. Oh and I also really liked how the FML didn’t jump to conclusions and blame ML for their tragic past lives. I didn’t like that she blamed herself and tried to put distance between them either but we win some and lose some. They biggest thing I can say I disliked was the whole “I’m leaving you to protect you” thing. I hate that like can we give that trope a rest already?!?. But anyways I give this drama a 10/10. You should give it a watch. Lots of googly eyed romance and can we talk about how Rowoon is feeding the Netflix girls with face card alone?! The man is gorgeous.

I love it when I encounter someone who has the same opinion as me on a drama❤️.
I was literally thinking the same about Yae’s reasoning for pulling away from Takumi not solely being because of the ex. Her backstory is missing some important details that the drama didn’t give us because there’s clearly some kind of trauma she has to where she values everyone else’s feelings over her own and feels that she doesn’t deserve happiness. Something had to happen during childhood before she met Takumi.

I also agree about the fake wedding. I was so annoyed. If I was Takumi, I would have walked out because that was not only unnecessary but also humiliating.Pretending to
marry the man he feels threatened by to bait him? She basically took the dream wedding he had been planning this entire time and turned it into a laughing stock.Smh

This drama literally had so much potential.

The biggest lesson that ALL drama FemaleLeads need to learn is how to say “He’s mine, back tf off Looney Haux” and we’ll all be happy and clap in unison….

🥲🥲🥲🥲

The plot of this j drama had me hooked which happens often with j-dramas for me. The plot is always sickening(good) but the execution is uhhh…..
The first episode had me so giddy, a drama where the ML is SUPER expressive, goofy and head over heels while NOT giving me the ick? Rare gem.
The ML carried. I loved his facial expressions and his little secret crush/love sickness. I was giggling the whole first couple of episodes. Absolutely cute. Somehow he gave cute but masculine in the same sentence.
On being introduced to the FML i actually liked that she was presenting as this meek and obsessively selfless character….IN THE BEGINNING, because it’s gave off a kind innocents that is my personal favorite type of FML trope. I know the majority of other romance drama watchers prefer the “strong independent woman” trope which is fine but my preference differ;~what can I say, I love a good damsel in distress~ so I can say I thought I was going to enjoy the FMLs character and development of said character . I thought wrong… let’s get into the nitty gritty

I loved that the plot is childhood sweethearts reunited for a second chance at love. Sooo
cute. The fact that the ML(and presumably
the FML) was secretly in love since they were
very young is so heart bursting

I hate that they didn’t lean into that
background more. Like we really didn’t get a
solid flashback of the FMLs point of view
while the ML was going out of his mind
thinking she was in love with their best
friend(2ML). A clip of her writing in her diary
about him or crying because he had a girlfriend, SOMETHING.

While the ML was very loveable, he was also very annoying and pathetic. What man leaves the woman he loves for 10 years, no contact, over a petty competition between him and 2ML that was mostly in his own head? Allowed the FML to go off and date others and be manipulated and used while he was striving to be the “better man”

I will say, it was very romantic that he became a successful architect and business owner to win her heart and fulfill her dreams but he could of did all that while atleast keeping in contact with her.

The fact that the ML was not man enough to tell his best friend(2ML) that he was in love with FML and to back off and atleast persue FML despite assuming she liked 2ML while
they were still young is pathetic. Man up!!! Coward.

The FML honestly needed a therapist.
The amount of people pleaser running
through her DNA needs to be studied.
The saddest FML to exist.
I won’t pick her completely apart because she
was not all bad and I actually liked her
character outside of the people pleasing
obsessiveness.
The only self serving thing she’s done
throughout the whole drama was agree to
marry ML because you could tell she was
enjoying the whole “fake marriage” situation.

She enjoyed being a kept woman/stay at home wife, learning to cook and just enjoying life with the ml and it was
probably the first time she felt contentment
and true joy and felt like something actually belonged to her alone since splitting with her
childhood friends. Everything else was in
shambles.
The fact that she allowed that butter face
crying weirdo to manipulate her emotions,
made me so mad. Like girl STAND UP. The Ex
(2FML)was so outta pocket. Still obsessed with a guy
you dated in highschool for 10 seconds who
didn’t even like you is wild behavior. And then
showing up at his home where his wife is to
give a sob story in hopes that she would leave
him is sick and twisted. The FML should have
told her to keep that tear covered mug away
from her and her husband and to seek help.
But she didn’t, she allowed a 10 second ex
girlfriend to breakup her happy situation with
ML.
In conclusion, this drama deserved alot more.
If they didn’t make the FMLs character so
annoying it would have needed more
episode’s because the plot is honestly so cute
and wholesome. Imagine a universe where the FML allowed the ML to kiss her after he confessed. We would have atleat made it to the Christmas Eve glamping trip. We needed to see the FMLs
character development. I wanted a episode where she finally learned to say “no and f you” for once. For all we know she’s still a push over who allows outsiders who don’t matter to manipulate her emotions
and life. Also needed more intimacy and physical love between the Mainleads. There was only 1 kiss and it was barely a kiss. I want to see tongue and some “cheek”grabs but hey… that’s just me. 👀I give this drama
a 8.5/10. It would have been a 7,5 if not for the ML and his cuteness.

This was so entertaining but too short…like give me more pls. Like other commenters have stated, it wasn’t creepy at all. Yes, it’s about a young teacher and a student but there was no physical intimacy between them which made it really wholesome imo. The MLs express desire, loyalty and love for one another but they understand that any relationship between them for now would be extremely inappropriate. So they wait…and continue to be eachothers emotional support and safe place. 9.5/10. I would love 2 more parts. Maybe alittle more of them navigating their individual lives as they wait for “graduation day” and then a part of when the FML finally graduates and they start developing their romantic relationship, figuring out what type of life that want with eachother and the eventual marriage and whatnot. I loved the part where the ML expressed to the FML his wish to have his own family and she was basically like “well obviously I’m the one who’s going to give you a family but the crazy part is I won’t be able to call you Sensai anymore” when I tell you I died of aww and of laughter at the same time. Like did she just declare herself his (to be )wife and mother of his future children so nonchalantly😂. I loved how he was never phased by her stoic bluntness and she was never phased by his out of pocket personality. I bet he never would have guessed that the love of his life would be his loner and introverted student. Anyways , I loved it.

The plot was very interesting but there were a lot of “holes”. Like the entire first 3 episodes were all over the place and I was like wtf. It started to clear up and improve but I have some criticism. But before I get to tha…let’s butter the pancake first… the Main Leads were attractive too me. The girl was super cute and the ml looked a little “plastic” but he was still handsome to me idk why. But their acting is stale as hell. Especially the Fml, Like she had the same expression for everything besides the few times she smiled. I just wish they gave more! The side couples were boring to me, I skipped their whole storyline. This whole drama just felt like a fever dream. Nothing was clear and I had to guess what was happening 50% of the time. Like the part where he tells her he remembers her from when she was a student. I was like when tf was this. All we got was a snippet of him holding a umbrella over her head and her in a school uniform. There was no real clear storyline there. I don’t like that the romance between the MLs was put on the back burner for most of the drama. Barely any affection, kissing, not even much holding hands. The side couples kissed more than the MC. The one thing I did like about this drama was that the ML was really determined to be with the Fml and I like that they both put aside the fact that both of their parents marriages were
falling apart but they still believed in love and wanted to be together and get married. Anyways. I rate this drama a 6.5, good for passing time. Nothing super terrible but also nothing super awesome about it.

Thank you and will do

When I say this is a absolutely beautiful story…I mean it heart to heart. Some ppl felt a way about the FML and the ML meeting while she was a teen and he an young adult but I believe this drama executed this plot in the most perfect way possible. This drama gave puppy crush, first love, love discovery and finally 1 true love and wrapped it in the most heart pumping bow. First off, the chemistry was phenomenal! Both the FML and ML literally oozed connection. I previously did not find the actor that plays the ML attractive from other dramas he’s in but THIS drama changed my whole mind, he’s freaking Smexy af!!The leads were the perfect match for this drama, she gives innocent but assertive and charming and he gave provider mature manly man with a cup of subtle hot nerdy lover boy.

Loved the story line. I loved how they met when she was very young. There was connection but it was all innocent(as it should be). I liked that they didn’t make it weird. While they met while she was 14, her crush for him didn’t start until her senior year of highschool and their love story didn’t begin until her freshman year of college. It was perfect.


I Loved how much love and appreciation he poured into her as soon as he realized his feelings. It was literally end game from there on. He literally began building his life around her if that makes sense.

At times I was nervous about the FMLs feelings especially in the beginning because it was borderline obsessive but I had to put myself in the shoes of a girl who falls in love with a older guy with no romantic experience. I would probably be the same way. The need for reassurance that he wouldn’t forget me and go off with some other woman in his age group once he started his life after college as an adult. Which is why she wanted him to promise her to stay single which I thought was sooo cute, I yipped. To put it frankly, she
had to secure her man and her future spot in his life 🤭As she should.

I loved how he went from being this “brotherly” figure in her life to being her lover. The emotions felt so real and so beautiful. It was almost as if I was the FML being persued. I felt all giggly and nervous.
And I especially liked that the FML allowed him to “chase” her even though her feelings were prevalent and alive before his. I think that was specifically important. There was a line the ML said, where he basically told her that she deserved to be wooed and persued like every other girl regardless of if she had feelings for him already because he would most likely be her only love experience. That was such a cute
and secure move. The ML has made my unrealistic standards for men even worse. I WANT MY OWN JIA XU!!!(my heart)


I have so many favorite parts but the 2 I can think of now is when he got jealous of the classmate who had feelings for her and kept asking if he was the guy she liked😂 and the part when he said “I love you” for the first time and it got steamy…iykyk.

I give the side characters an applause. Love the brother. His reaction to finding out his best friend and sister were dating was so realistic lol. Her parents just wanted to protect their princess and while he tragically lost his family, she became his true family(my eyes are tearing). The obsessive “debtor” woman was annoying but her story was even understandable AND she wasn’t much of a hassle at all after ML drew a line with her and told her to F off and leave his woman alone basically.

All in all, this is now one of my absolute favorite dramas. It was the perfect mixture of emotional and sweet. A 10/10. I am grateful to have experienced it. ~She healed him and he made her dreams come true~

This was the most lovely drama I’ve watched all year. I have nothing terrible to say. I loved the plot. The MLs had beautiful chemistry form the beginning till the end. All the supporting characters did their part in not hindering the main couple. The Fml is gorgeous and so kind hearted while the ML is a great leader and very understanding. Now to get into the specifics.I liked that both the MLs were open minded about the whole NEET program even though the Fml was a bit reluctant in the beginning. The ML was so willing to take responsibility for the Fml and basically help her experience the work beyond what she knew. I liked how the little conflict that were presented were extinguished immediately by the MLs. I like that both Leads were open to pushing their marriage forward even though it was arranged. They both did the work to make sure the other was happy, appreciated and comfortable. Like how they were described many time in the drama “very considerate of eachother”. I loved how the ML always made sure the FL was comfortable before he made a move to progress the intimacy. I also like how the supporting characters aided in making sure the MLs relationship was going well. And last, I loved how even after that article came out calling the FML lazy and incompetent for being a house wife, the ML still never forced her to do anything she didn’t wish to and understood her life’s purpose was to be fully domestic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a housewife. This narrative needs to end. Anyways Very beautiful drama and I give it a 10/10

Currently on ep 5 and I have to say this drama is so good so far you guys!!! I’m literally squealing! This is giving og c drama vibes. Like I’m getting the exact same butterflies in my stomach from when I first began watching A-Dramas. So good. But I think I’m going to pause watching until the drama finishes bc I like to binge. Even though it pains me to wait. The only thing I will say is the FML hair style needs improvement. The short look is cute but the style itself looks very strange and somewhat half done if that make sense.

I’ll keep it short, the plot had potential, I did not like the FLs attitude especially in the beginning she was very unnecessarily snippy, especially to the ML. Her attitude did improve as the drama went on but I couldn’t stop viewing her as a brat with no training. To me the ML was somewhat of a wuss with no backbone. I didn’t particularly like any of the Side characters. I was starting to somewhat enjoy it during the middle of the drama but then it started to feel draggy and unnecessary side characters and obstacles started to arise and I was not only bored af but mentally exhausted. The ending was horrendous. A 2 year gap for what?!? This was just not the drama for me and I’m mad that I wasted so much time on it. I skipped like 10 episodes to get through it. I’ll give this drama a 7/10. It wasn’t for me but maybe others will like it.

This Drama was so good but so frustrating at the same time. Let me elaborate. I’ll start with what was so frustrating and what I disliked first. I don’t know if I’m just a cold hearted person but I feel like the length of time that she(Bo Ra) spent crying and embarrassing herself over her ex was way too lengthy. I mean it’s not like they ended because he broke up with her out of nowhere which would have made her spiral more understandable. No, he literally CHEATED on her with his “cousin” or whatever. If I was the FL I would have been more disgusted and mad than sad and pathetic. The scene of her on stage was the most cringe and embarrassing. Over a cheater? I could never. And the fact that she was a “love coach” but she couldn’t tell he was no longer In love with her and seeing someone else is bazaar but I guess it’s part of the lesson here. I did not feel the chemistry from any of the side couples besides Jin Ho and Bo Mi, they were so cute. I did not like how the ML (Soo Hyuk) took so long to develop character wise. So you’re gonna tell me his ex broke it off because he couldn’t express his emotions and needs as a man should and he was just like “oh well that’s just how I am I guess”. It took him till the end of the drama to actually say “I like you” like
wtf. I feel like they(the writers) could have portrayed it as though he was becoming more open about his feelings as the drama progressed, like expressing himself verbally little by little. I did not like that Bo Ra didn’t make it clear to her ex that she didn’t want him as soon as he tried to come back, I would have told him off when he showed up to the radio show, but she decided to get into his car AND befriend him after all that he’s done like why!!! That chapter is closed tell that bum
to get a life. It just caused unnecessary
misunderstandings. I would have liked to see more intimacy between the MLs throughout the drama but that was restricted by the fact that both of them were behaving immaturely about their feelings. There was a lot of flirting and a kiss so I guess I’ll sit and be satisfied. Now for what I liked. I felt the chemistry between the main leads perfectly. Despite the fact that they were circle jerking each other . I still felt the love between them even though words were not said. They genuinely had a connection which is why it was so frustrating to see them pulling back. I loved that they helped eachother heal from their pasts. I liked that there was so much screen time with them and so much going on. I liked Bo mi and Jin Ho’s relationship, they seemed way more mature when it’s came to their relationship than the older couples. I love that Soo Hyuk finally escaped his ego comfort box and began pouring his love into Bo ra as she deserves as a certified lover girl, so cute.I loved the entire plot, love coach finding true love is a plot I have yet to see as much. And I think the MLs were very attractive especially Soo Hyuk and I’m not one to like older men in dramas usually( besides the ML in Goblin) but honestly he is sexy! And the FL is so gorgeous. She has such a Doe look to her. We needed some steamy scenes😜….but anyways I give this drama a 9.5/10 highly recommend.

Finally got to watch this drama. In the beginning the drama started off like the typical “Rich ML and poor FL begin a contractural marriage” trope and it was kind of all over the place for the first couple of episodes. But I enjoyed it. I’m not someone who gets turned off by cliche/ recycled plots. I would literally watch the same trope 100 times over as long as each drama adds their own spice to it. With that being said this drama definitely added it’s own spice. First, I loved the chemistry between the FL and ML. The romance was there and the kisses were not only frequent but they absolutely gave what should be given. Heat!!! I loved that both of the Leads were attractive because sometimes that can be iffy. They’ll put a attractive FL but the male lead will be basic and vice versa but both the leads are attractive here. I liked that there was not too much outside interference, yes there is a random 2FL who tries to split the relationship and a very random 2ML who turns out to be evil but the Leads pretty much get them out of the way swiftly. 1 thing I did not like was the fact that neither the MLs nor the FLs family really had any real significant connection to the plot, they were never or barely on screen but mentioned a few times which mad the drama feel a little “cold” I guess. Now for the ending. I’m someone who detests sad/bad endings. I’ll tolerate a open ending but the fact that it ended up being a dream and that tragic accident happened to them AND the fact that the ML is in a coma and handicapped makes it worse. To me this is definitely a sad ending even though we have hope with the MLs finger moving. I still consider it a sad ending but for some reason it didn’t make me want to throw up and scream like usual. I actually feel at peace with the ending which is different for me. In conclusion I do recommend this drama. It’s not perfect and it’s very cliche and recycled but it’s entertaining imo. 8.5/10.

Yes, at the very last episode

Ooh, I didn’t know this. Thank you for informing me. Now I know which dramas to wait to get excited for.

Cute melodrama. The story line was interesting although I got bored a some point within each episode. Very little to no romance so if you’re looking for something lovey dovey, you might have to look elsewhere. I think all the cast did a awesome job to bring the story together. Honestly if this drama had more than 6 episodes I would have dropped it but luckily I finished this semi deep story. Nothing much to hate. 7.5/10

I’m losing my mind here, why doesn’t any of these new dramas have Eng subs? What is going on

I really liked the plot line and the MLs especially the FL did amazing. I loved all the FLs outfits. The only bone I have to pick with this is that there was more “intimacy”(if you can call it that) between the FL and the disgusting murderer “father” than there was between the FL and the ML. I was expecting things to heat up after everything was settled but we literally got nothing but a few cute moments and a random like confession and then a staring scene at the end.😑like, where’s the INTIMACY!! I have to rate this a 9.0. Had potential to be a 10/10 but oh well. Can’t have our cake and eat it too I guess.

Sorry for the late reply but the conflict happens in episodes 14-16.

I had to drop this midway. To summarize this drama up, it’s basically romanticising a very toxic dependency. He’s(ML) basically aging backwards and dying and she is the only one that can help his illness. It starts off with him using her secretly with his sister, doctor and assistant being in on it. After that goes on for a while, he then comes to the conclusion that the situation is immoral and decides that he actually has feelings for her so it’s fine now. Mind you for the majority of this she is very clueless of the fact that she is keeping him healthy. Then comes the climax/conflict. She basically get accused of something messed up (she was innocent) and everyone goes against her(except her best friend) including the ML even though he excuses this later on by saying he was only doing it to “protect her”. The break up but he puts all the blame on her by saying she “abandoned” the relationship even though he already sabotaged their relationship by not standing up firmly for her during the accusations. After this he gets super sick again and she begins living her life separately working with his brother and then his friends basically guilt and harass her to get back with him which she does. That’s where I decided to drop it. It’s not a horrible drama but it just wasn’t worth it for me. Too predictable and annoying. The MLS acting is subpar and the FL is a slight bit too ditzy but overall if you can get past the terrible plot and shut you brain off it could work for you. 5/10

The fact that the ML falls in love with the FL who looks exactly like his (deceased) sister is kinda weird ngl but there are some reason to look past it if you think critical enough. 2nd, the FL gives very much obsessed, very early on too. I think she starts heavily being clingy like 5 eps in. I understand that the ML is absolutely gorgeous but still. Lastly, even a blind mouse could see that it was the aunt who was behind all the drama… I was rolling my eyes when they finally figured it out.
