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.

Comfort Drama Found!!
As someone who’s been watching Asian dramas for nearly 15 years, I’ve never fully agreed with a drama enough to love every part of it or consider it a comfort watch worth rewatching in the future. But several times while watching this one, I found myself thinking just that.Something about the soundtrack brought me back to my childhood — it gave me a peaceful, nostalgic feeling, like watching Christmas Hallmark movies with family. The actors were perfectly cast, and the synergy and dynamics between them were spot on. The storyline flowed really well.
But what sealed it for me were the perspectives the conversations and actions took — no unnecessary dragging or bizarre misunderstandings.
I agree with other reviewers that this drama may not be for everyone, but if it even slightly aligns with your tastes, I promise you’re in for the ride of your life. In my opinion, those 14 hours were absolutely well spent!

Needed a RomCom Kdrama and it barely helped
OST and Production were pretty good, loved her massive fashion upgrade from shabby to "has a hot-rich boyfriend that can spoil her"/"has her own money" switch up. I felt the main leads were too calculative and manipulative (I’m pretty used to MLs and FLs fighting evil with good but this drama felt way too different and not in the best way, I was partially siding with the evil guys till the end 😭). In all, the storyline was okay, justice was served on all fronts, and it had its place for cute romance too.Was this review helpful to you?
