The FL annoyed me to no end
Things I liked1 I love the boss employee trope and I was looking forward to it, but in the end it wasn't as charming as I was expecting and hoping.
2 The ML. At first I thought he would be the problem since I don't find him handsome at all, but he won me over while the opposite happened with the FL. So weird.
Things I disliked
1 The FL. She ruined it for me with her annoying demeanor and when you add that I don't find it her pretty at all, she got on my nerves and couldn't care less about the plot.

The ML doesn't know how to act
Things I disliked1 The FL. She was too much a passive character to like her and the acting wasn't stellar.
Things I hated
1 The ML. Boring, unattractive and... boring. The worst a character can be is boring. Here you have it. Nothing cute, sweet or romantic in this series.
2 The antagonistic lawyer. So unbelievably caricature.

Unpleasant FL
What I liked:The premise.
What I disliked:
The ML. He looks too old and has no charisma for me.
What I hated:
The age gap. Too obvious. I don't mind when it's not that obvious but here he looks too old.
The FL. I disliked her character and I didn't think she was funny. This isn't a rom-com. I love rom-coms but when they are fluffy, funny. Not when the characters are mean or make no sense.
The director. So obnoxious and such an unpleasant person.

4 Just for the 2ML
Things I loved1 The 2ML. Fortunately for us he went on to do some great dramas. he was a scene stealer and just like with the Korean version his character was much more sympathetic than the ML and I rarely say that if ever. He was the only good thing of the show.
Things I liked
1 The premise. I've already seen the Korean one so I knew what to expect and I like the premise so much I didn't care if it was a remake.
Things I disliked
1 The FL. I don't know what others see in this actress. I tried again and again to like her in some of her dramas and failed miserable. This was the less cringe although very cringe due to her character. This was the last one I try where she acts. It doesn't worth my time. The FL in the Korean version did a fabulous job and I wanted her to succeed so much. Here I didn't care.
Things I hated
1 The ML acting. He was wrong for the role and I agree with others that the 2ML should be the lead. What do cast directors think sometimes? Was it that complicated to see the actor was wrong for the role? Playing the cold, aloof CEO doesn't mean you play it without any expression. Awful.
2 The story about the friend and her crush. I hated that in the Korean version as well. Hated it.

No chemistry
Things I liked:1 The premise. I love real estate so I was excited to see a series with this theme. Unfortunately it didn't last.
2 The FL. I've seen her in a few dramas and although she's not my favorite, I quite like her.
Things I disliked:
1 The ML. I should separate the actor and the character but let's say I can't say much about his character since I couldn't watch him. His expressions are so weird and they put me off. I tried but there was no way I spent any more time in his company.
2 The chemistry. Well, the lack, of chemistry. She looks too young, he looks too old, therefore off putting for me and I had to stop.

Impossible to move past my disliking of the main male lead
Things I liked:1 The premise. I liked the concept of living together and even the fake marriage and that's why I wanted to give it a chance.
2 The actress. I quite like the actress and she's the reason I checked this out.
3 The opening scenes. I thought it was funny and had high expectations.
4 The secondary roles. I think they have potential. I'd love to go through with this to see if I'm right.
Things I hated:
1 The ML. I gave it a fair chance, but it's beyond my capabilities to continue watching him. I feel like I'll have nightmares for days. He seems like a robot and no, it's not the role. He's just an awful actor. He has no chemistry with the heroine and it felt like I was punishing myself watching him act.

Not enough romance
Reasons I dropped this series:1 At first I thought I'd love the fact that the three women are important, but in the end I didn't. I didn't care for any of the stories to be honest.
2 I found the actress very beautiful and talented but she also seemed old for 33 and that's rare for me to notice since I usually have the opposite problem I haven't checked how old the actress is but she seemed 40 to me and that bothered me for some reason although I'd never drop the series only for that reason.
3 I like business themed series, but mixed with a good dose of romance. here the romance wasn't strong enough. Not enough romantic moments.
4 The main actor is probably handsome for other people but to me he was too generic. No real charm. Not Prince Charming materiel and I need my Prince Charming in most of the series that include romance.

I tried but the actress got to my nerves
I tried but here my two reasons to drop this:1 The actress needs to take acting lessons. I felt like she didn't understand what she said, she just recited lines. I didn't feel anything positive toward her, she didn't make me want to know what the future holds for her.
2 The topic. I wanted to like the universe of the series but it didn't capture my interest. Nothing cute, funny or original to draw me in.

I must have watched another drama, a horrible one
Things I hated1 Let's simplify things. Everything. The FL lead, a stalker, ugly, untalented actress who tries to pass on as cute and genius. The ML lead, an ugly, punchable, rude, obnoxious person without any redeeming qualities. Well, they deserve each other. The worst couple ever. The worst story ever. Too many episodes as well. I skipped to the end and cried over the time I wasted on so many episodes.

Insufferable FL
Things I liked1 I loved high school and college dramas so that had great ratings and I thought it'd be perfect like Our Secret. I was mistaken.
2 The actors and characters other than the FL and the 2FL. They were sympathetic enough and wanted them to be happy.
Things I disliked
1 The chemistry between the leads. There was none. Truly none.
2 The ML actor. I don't think he's very talented although I don't remember him any other dramas to compare, but here he wasn't as good as I expected.
Things I hated
1 The FL. Awful actress and awful character. I rarely say this because usually I find every character has something to like, but here she was so unpleasant I couldn't take it anymore. I watched the last episode and she was even worse than before. Why would anyone fall in love with her is beyond my understanding. The ending was ridiculous and didn't make me change my mind.

FL actress problem
Things I liked1 The ML. He was handsome enough, he acted well enough, but all in all nothing spectacular.
Things I disliked
1 The FL. I've seen her in Master of my Own and because of the ML I've managed to watch it until the end and gave it a good rating. But she wasn't my favorite, she was terrible at romance and thought the same thing here. She's not beautiful enough to play the gorgeous lead, not funny enough to make me rule for her, and she looks too young or too clueless to play the genius CEO. So this time I didn't manage to get through all the episodes. I skipped after 4 episodes to the last one but I didn't care about it either. So, I didn't hate it, I just found it lacking on every level.

Some awful and forced acting
Things I disliked1 Everything actually. Every single character was irritating. I didn't see any of them as someone I would root for.
2 The FL. Wooden and unnatural acting from the FL. No chemistry at all with the ML. I didn't find the romance convincing at all and it was irritating to say the least. If you can't fid two actors with chemistry and talent or you don't know how to direct romance then don't promise romance.
3 The ML. No charisma whatsoever. It seems he's popular, but I don't know why. It's the first time I see him on anything and I find he tries too hard. He's not handsome enough or talented enough to pull it off, so to me this was a disaster.
4 The whole mystery that ended on a cliffhanger. Stupid and nonsensical. Like anyone cares.

I tried
Reasons I dropped this series:1 The whole production seemed cheap. It wasn't pleasant to watch. It was like my neighbor wrote a story and decided to call his friends and make it a series.
2 The plot was thin. It could be great but the development wasn't there.
3 The main actress overacted. She's cute but not the best actress.
4 The male lead actor is too bland and I can't say I find him any charm to make me continue watching this. I'd dare say he's untalented, although he tries.

Not romantic enough
Reasons I dropped this series:1 I like the actress since I watched the My Own Master and wanted to love this series, but although she acts well, I can't see as a romantic comedy heroine. She's pretty but not pretty or funny enough to be the lead in a rom com. Maybe the series isn't at all a rom com but this is what I expected from the premise.
2 Not enough romantic moments and after seeing how in Master of my Own I was waiting for the kiss that never came I decided to drop it since there were no signs that this would be romantic. At least in Master of my Own the male lead was terrific and the banter between them fantastic. But the romance was lacking and this seemed to go toward the same direction. Maybe the actress chooses this kind of roles, and kudos to her, but it's not for me.

Potential wasted
Reasons I dropped this series:1 The story seemed promising but it didn't deliver. It was bit over the top which I normally like but not this time.
2 The female lead was a bad actress. From the very fist minute I got an unpleasant vibe from her and I felt like she tried too hard to play her role. It was so forced I guessed what would happen. I don't like it when it feels like the actors aren't embracing their role and I see the acting. Of course it may be only me who feels that way for this particular actress in this role.
