If you bear with the AI filling, the rest is a smooth ride overall
"If you can't convince your date, threaten them into dating you." ~~~heheh this was so fun
Something that begins like a cliché, comforting romance we all know too well—Netflix’s and the industry’s most familiar, overused trope: “we met on a vacation/tour”—ends up going a mile further, digging into something deeper than just a simple love story.
Yet despite everything, at the end of the day, it is a love story. And because of that, it remains equally loving, beautiful, and genuinely pleasing to watch.
Though episode 1 might be unbearably cringe that you might die with curling ur fingers... and the AI punches you off the mood often. If you manage to get used to the cinematography that shadows the near-certain future of the filming industry all over the world, you will enjoy the interaction of the characters enough to make up for the time you put into this.
I really miss the not so perfect filimg days, however its the era of AI, and perfect editing... so i shall gladly accept unless i don't want to quit watching altogether.
The characters are lovable and relatable, flawed in ways that make them feel like friends—or reflections of ourselves at times. The storyline is more than decent, stretching comfortably from romance into thriller territory. What’s interesting is how the show weaves in current Korean pop-culture nuances to guide its flow: zombie-thriller films, the global rise of Hallyu stars, and the obsession with reality dating shows. These elements don’t feel forced; instead, they ground the story firmly in its time.
Do Ra Mi is, without a doubt, the queen of the series for me. Her spontaneous, unapologetic interventions bring a soothing rhythm to the drama—especially for viewers who constantly crave fast-paced plot development and shocking turns. She balances the chaos effortlessly.
I also deeply loved the subtle friendship between the star and his road manager. Watching him stand faithfully by his star—whether it rains or snows—softened my heart every single time. Their bond felt sincere and steady, and it was genuinely satisfying to see him find his own match during this journey.
Kim Seon Ho, as always, delivers a calm, collected green-flag male lead—though this time, one who treads more carefully. Still, he finds it nearly impossible to hide or suppress his inherent kindness. He plays a character who rarely expresses himself openly, someone who says the pain is “20%” when it’s actually “80%.” We aren’t explicitly told why he’s like this, but it isn’t hard to guess—and honestly, there’s no real need to. Not every human processes or expresses pain the same way.
This was my first time watching the female lead properly. She has appeared in sequels to two of my most favorite works, yet—call it unfounded bias—I never watched them. Somewhere in my heart, I had even considered her the reason. It probably began when I couldn’t accept her as Naksu in Alchemy of Souls, and that discomfort lingered like an unhealed wound.
But her performance here was so commendable that it genuinely made me question whether I had been wrong about her all along.
