I feel bad for the other actors in this picture, but the belated release of this drama feels really icky to me. No one wanted to touch poor KSR with a ten foot long pole back when she was alive and "problematic" but now... 4 years later. *sighs* this reeks of a money grab and pushing on publicity of this being her last ever project to squeeze every. last. drop. of money they can get out of the poor girl. It's heartbreaking honestly that she can't be allowed to just rest in peace without even MORE people trying to profit off of her...
Rewatching after yearssss and boy does this drama hold up! I swear I've been watching the last few eps through perma-red teary eyes :'( Ughhhh it's so deliciously bittersweet!!!
Since it’s a romcom, the romance aspect is really weak. Visually, it’s easily one of the worst main couples…
I've seen MULTIPLE comments about the visuals in the leads not matching up for a romantic pairing. As for your second point on the romance being weak in a romcom (especially in the first half) now that's something of note! Thanks for the heads up, I'll avoid! :)
I had zero interest in checking out this drama before, but lowkey one of its top reviews being a 1 is making me curious lmao! xD Can it really have been THAT bad??! If you've seen it feel free to tell me what you thought!
This BETTER get a S2!!! I typically have an easy time separating my crime drama viewings with my romances ones buuuut never in my life had I rooted for a couple to turn into lovers more…. Ughhhhh Edit to add: the leads had a bond that was built on life & death. My sappy little heart can’t help but ship. 💟
Hard disagree with literally every other commenter below my message. This was a “Action- Thriller” that felt like it wouldn’t end. I don’t typically drop movies but I finally gave up on this trainwreck (pun intended) with 30 min to go. Don’t recommend. Also, the bombers reasoning for their crime was such an eyeroll inducing massive stretch that it felt ridiculous.
hello! can someone give me a timeline of episodes? i just want to know what ep are they going to divorce
Ep 14 she finds out about his lies/him knowing about her lies. Ep 15 reconciling fails so she moves out. They separate with the intent to divorce, but no divorce occurs.
Now THIS is something that I can get behind! Two infamous villainous actors playing morally grey villains that will fall in love?!? And one's a Chaebol?! All the way YESSSSS!
As I watch this, I keep thinking who will make the perfect FL and ML if they remake this into a Korean version.
Randomly, Lee Joon Gi (Flower of Evil & Scarlet Heart Ryeo) came to mind. He gives off the same crafty, stern, and mature vibes as WC. Maybe even a reunion drama between him and IU?! You know what... the more I think about it the more perfect that sounds!!!
Well, I have to agree with you on the slow pacing. I'm currently on Ep. 7 and struggling to keep going. The length…
Oh, I completely get what you mean! It's far from a perfect show, I just finished it yesterday and gave it a 7/10 as I shared your sentiments almost to the T. I will say, however, that the ending made up for some of the draggy parts in the middle- I won't go into specifics because you're still one episode shy of finishing. It was fine. Not spectacular. And imo nowhere near worth the crazy hype that it got. LCM (the ML) was a surprisingly good actor though! As he wasn't on my radar at all until this show.
I do think that all the cooking competition was a bit too long, but it was not boring for me. However the romance…
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this drama, that seems to be the general consensus. Agreed about the romance too, I only have the last ep to go but it's clear that they fed up crumbs on a show where they feast, lol.
Well, I have to agree with you on the slow pacing. I'm currently on Ep. 7 and struggling to keep going. The length…
It's the same problem I had as well! Minor spoiler, the cooking competition with Ming wraps up in ep 9. That 3-4 ep arc got really boring The extra episode length 1hr 20 instead of the typical 1hr made it worse. Lowkey if you're still on ep 7, then just skip to like the midway point of ep 9, and you really won't miss much. Ep 10 in particular picks up in terms of romance & excitement imo.
Before the competition, the leads spent time together preparing for the competition yes the mings were a bit long…
You're right. I'm a couple episodes behind as I only started watching last week rather than with a bunch of you as ep 1 aired. Just voicing my opinion because I was hyped to start this show and genuinely disappointed that I wasn't LOVING it as much as everyone else seems to be.
I mean those middle episode did drag so youre not wrong but overall I enjoyed it. please remember that this year…
Haven't gotten to the ending yet so I can't attest to that. Also, LCM really is doing a great job! But you brought up a really great point about this year being on the dryer side! I get what you mean since it's been a while, and this show is good (not extraordinary but still solid) people are fixating and probably even overhyping it by default. Fair enough. :)

At this point, I feel like I'm in too deep to drop. And as mentioned I don't hate the drama, I'm just not wowed by it like the majority seems to be. So my comment was more so to voice a different opinion than the glowing 10/10's. Especially, the 4 eps spent on a single competition out of a 12 ep show. One whole third was devoted to this cooking Ming vs Joseon debacle. (And IMO it wasn't 4 episodes (that are 1 hr 15+ min long) deserving.)
