A Refreshing Watch That Leaves You Feeling Whole
It was a really good watch! I appreciated how the storyline unfolded — starting with the crime scene, then gradually painting the full picture of the events surrounding it, until everything was brought to light and justice was finally served. I LOVED the cuteness between the leads rather than heavy romance (must've screamed 'Kiyowo' at least 100 times throughout the drama), and honestly, this drama made the male lead Kim Jae-yeong shine so much more in my eyes. I’m genuinely looking forward to his future main roles now.
Also, LOL — they tied this drama up so neatly that it honestly could’ve ended an episode earlier and I’d still have been fully satisfied. By the end of Episode 11, I was genuinely confused when the next episode started playing like, “What’s left?? They’ve already sorted everything.” 😭 (Bad K-trauma has truly scarred me with unresolved plots and loopholes.) So it was incredibly refreshing to see everything wrapped up properly, with no loose ends left hanging.
What I really appreciated about this drama:
- A refreshing female lead who saves the male lead, fights for justice, and carries no bitterness — not even toward her bullies.
- No cartoonishly evil characters; everyone had depth, pain, and understandable motivations, making the story feel humane and real.
- The drama didn’t torture the “good guys” excessively — there were turbulent moments, but it always allowed space to breathe. Even during investigations and public cancellations, life continued normally: she could still work, he could still move around — no unnecessary chaos or mob outrage.
- A consistently easygoing, comforting watch — never too heavy, traumatising, or exhausting. Smart pacing - whenever things got emotionally intense, the story softened the moment and restored balance.
- Exceptional casting: the leads carried every scene so naturally that there was zero cringe, even in awkward or quiet moments. Every glance up from the subtitles brought a smile — whether they were smiling, crying, thinking, or just existing, it all felt warm and sincere.
Never once felt the urge to drop the drama — no dragging, no irritation, no emotional burnout.
Overall, the drama felt genuinely refreshing from start to finish.
