How likely is it that these random internet users who have confidently commented below really do know better than the police who investigated Yu Menglong's death, or even his own mother who asked for the public to stop speculating and inventing conspiracy theories about her son's death?
This drama started off strongly, but I found that my interest waned a little towards its back end., suggesting this drama might have been better if it was a couple of episodes shorter. To be fair, this describes about 90% of the Korean dramas I've ever watched. However, I will mention that I thought the wedding scene in the last episode was really fun. I did like the premise and the execution, especially in those early episodes. I thought the acting across the entire cast was good, so I don't agree with those people who said that Ha Young's acting was sub-par. I also thought the action and fight scenes were well done. Like so many other KDramas before it, the drama is marketed as a romcom, but the writers still included some very dark plotlines. For me, the hyper-cheesy romcom scenes clashed with the with dark and thriller scenes, especially when they closely followed one another. I'd prefer that dramas kept more in their genre lane. Overall a decent watch. I'm giving it an 8.5/10
Why is it that a character with Ninja skills easily fights their way through waves of bad guys, but has great difficulty in defeating the one old guy at the end who can't even fight. In which universe does that make any sense?
currently at ep 10...this series has an identity crisis. I think it would be an amazing crime/ drama OR a great…
This is a common fault of many Korean Dramas. They try to be two different dramas to attract as wide an audience as possible, but end up producing an mediocre product. When I watch a rom com, I want it to be a rom com. Similarly, when I watch a action drama or thriller, I want it to be that.

5 episodes in, and I'm really enjoying this drama. It's one of the best Kdramas I've watched this year. I have to say I'm glad I don't live in a country where a person's spouse is treated almost like their property, rather than a person who can choose for themselves who they want to be with.
Now that I've finished it, here are my thoughts. It is a well written and well acted drama, but it isn't an easy watch, and it is slow at times. I found it emotionally draining watching Son Ji Eun suffer episode after episode. If I had a dollar for every time she apologised, I'd be rich. The drama had a LOT of flashbacks … too many for my liking, and I found myself skipping through them sometimes. The last episode seemed a bit rushed to me, as everyone got their happy ending, including the villains. I would have preferred Jung Woo and Ji Eun to get together before the final minute of the final episode so I could see them living happily together to compensate me for some of the emotional energy spent watching them both suffer for the majority of the previous episodes. My score: 8½/10.

It's one of the best single episodes of a drama that I have ever watched.
