excellent, though you can see the ropes
The word for this is HOT... The two ML's are hot together, end of. If you are looking for something more abt this drama, like villains or conflict or anything - there is not much to it. It's just one - or even two! - gay couples that come up with hot stuff, and thats it! We have role-play, innuendo, teasing, flirting, naked bodies - and i mean, ripped bodies!, power struggle - you name it.Oh and there is also some comedic relief to the sexual tension... I guess the director was afraid to handle the 18+ content in a mature way so he turned to this trick instead.
Rewatch? Why not? Its funny and... wink wink. Sex sells!

So boring!
Is this really a 2023 drama? It's like one of those 70s productions on a budget! If you have time, it's something you can watch together with the kids and grannies, while cooking food on the stove too!The only nice thing to look at is the ML, who obviously has WAY MORE potential than he can display here. His acting range and expressive features dont benefit at all from this no-action drama... Nothing daring, nothing worth remembering. Plz give me a crazy lakorn instead of this!

real gem
I came across of this by pure accident - or better say luck! It is so very engaging, heart-breaking, melodramatic in a good way!You can totally recognize the tropes, the most prominent of them being this Savant Syndrome / Autistic Genius...Obviously dramas are reluctant to depicting NORMAL boring people, and exploit these/ those exceptions! Like, who wants to see an average kid vs a superpower still vulnerable kid?
This is romanticism at its best!
Though packed with tropes, it's well acted and employing an original background setting, i mean - the trauma cleaning thing.
Nice watch, idealistic as it is.

Too shallow and boring
Besides the ML looking gorgeous, there's not much to see in this drama. The FL is mediocre and so is the flow: unrealistic, rushed, way too schematic. The plot is - yet again! - about the cold CEO who falls for the average Cinderella, new thing is just the CEO being creepy and acting like a stalker (not even on-screen, but as shown in flash-backs!).I watched 14 episodes and it feels like too many already.
Dropped.

i wanted to like this
Though released in the recent years, this drama seems quite old - old in spirit! It's too far from reality to be even considered seriously, relying on incredulous and never-ending coincidences, like the businessman becoming a special rescue officer just like this? A female surgeon living in the middle of the forest and sharing the house with the said businessman for pure coincidence? Both the ML and FL being traumatic and discovering the healing power of nature? The female police also being - accidentally - an old acquaintance to our surgeon? Everybody is single & willing too?? Plsssss this is too tropey to be saved!As someone who lived close to nature as a child, i'd also say that the imagery of the forest is not done right. It should've conveyed much more! Sadly, it fails to capture its unique beauty.
The pace is slow, i keep skipping a lot.
The director lacks a sense of humour, the very few funny scenes are awkward.
Add to this, the inability of adult intellectual people to recognize love and admit to it... like love is some kind of eternal teens' joke.
Too long for me to promise i'll watch till the end.

gloomy and unrealistic
Given the fact we have a handsome playboy and motorcycle races and all, one could expect this drama to burst with positive energy. Instead, we get all the gloomy things in the world of drama and not even one ray of humour: suicide, trauma, abuse, violence, bullying, attempted murder, mental illness, psychotic behavior...The "deceptive appearance" trope is at its glory, to the point it becomes redundant: the bad boy is kind but misunderstood, the bullies are people of character, the nice teacher is a predator and criminal, so are the parents, the top student is a fraud etc.
It mainly relies on emotions and popular actors.
Dropping for the time being. Not enjoyable on my summer break.

an easy watch if you just ignore the pile of garbage
Despite being so long, it's quite easy to watch - i admit i skipped and skipped unnecessary scenes. The plot is pretty good, but the leads are not my cup of tea - the hottest one is the SML.All the characters are morally wrong. The FL practically stalked and abused the drunk ML... He deserved it, since he feeds his women the morning-after pill. Not even doing this personally, but having the servant clean the mess?
The cast could have been way better. I dont wanna criticize them much but definitely they dont score for me.
The only interesting couple is the thug friend and the rich heiress.
This drama had potential, i'd watch a remake.

a total mess
I totally recommend to watch the first half or so of this drama, it's got some interesting things to it. Good actors, pretty faces, gripping plot... But it soon becomes totally crazy - and not the good way. Everybody is lying - including the camera!! - , everybody has secrets, everybody has a sort of mental challenge: trauma, retard, anxiety, dellusion etc. The policemen - all of them - are suspects, the rich/ influential people are too, and they are all interconnected one way or another.The action goes around in circles, again and again, the leads try hard to keep it going by using all facial expressions by the first 4 episodes: they cry, they laugh hysterically, they smirk etc, till there is nothing left. I think one of the biggest mistakes of drama makers is GREED, in the form of ambition: they wanna cover everything in one shot. Keep some balance, will you?
Dropped, too long and too nonsensical.

watch it just for the gorgeous ML !
Such a cliché rom-com that i wouldn't know where to start... The plot is hardly there, the FL has a weak scene presence, even the tropes lack quality of execution. BUT... all the credit goes to the ML who definitely saves this show being gifted with all the necessary qualities and something extra: handsome, fit, classy, funny, versatile and unique! The sense of fashion is great - nice job from whoever did this. Also the secondary cast is excellent, starting with the male secretary, who teamed with the ML in "Noble, My Love" (still the ML grew up a lot in terms of personality since that), the eccentric former porn-star mother of the FL, the kitchen beauty and grumpy manager, the tiny child and even the black not-so-stray cat. Nice scenery too.I'm impressed with the acting talent of the ML, still as a side note i wonder... his features are all natural? He looks like a manga hero. I like him whatever the answer. <3

a schoolgirl can do it better
If i were to direct something like this, i would cover my face in shame... It's nothing but a collection of tropes done wrong. The ML is that macho type that enters the screen in slow motion while all the damsels around faint with hormones rush... or whatever. Except for our heroine, of course, who is work-orientated and all, just to succumb to the ML's deadly charm a few episodes later. It might be a good drama for teens, but still it came out too late, it should've been aired 20 years ago to enjoy success.Embarrassing.

so average!
I've started to watch this in between other dramas, and though it's quite entertaining, it's still mediocre... The FL looks mediocre, she hardly has any acting skills, and the ML, though handsome and all, is overdoing it most of the time. Dont get me wrong, they r both handsome, but so forgettable, nothing to get someone's attention. I might keep watching it since i have no other option at present, but it's NOT ENGAGING, i skip a lot of the boring scenes. The tropes are there, but it's not this that puts me off - just the general impression.Watch it if you're a fan or super-bored.

boredom to the max
Nothing really happens in this drama, just the good-looking ML and FL walking to and fro while doing some annoying product placement - it's not even available in my area for God's sake! To summarize, it's just a looooooooooooooong commercial with a VERY - and i mean VERY - thin plot.About the office romance, i happen to watch something similar, Love Is Sweet, and im getting confused with these two, since they r both as unremarkable.
If you have a lot of time, you can check this while looking for something that matters.

average and boring
This drama is proof of wasted potential. Nice actors, decent plot, not short on budget... BUT everything is too slow paced and nonsensical. Everything looks fake - actors' clothes are always neat and fashionable, so are the interiors, the romance is dull, most characters are rich and doing big business etc. I suspect chinese dramas make excessive use of filters since everybody has that white flawless complexion paired with anorexical bodies.It's more like a long - way too long - commercial to promote China tourism.

is this a joke?
Nothing to complain abt acting, but the plot is so immature, like a high-schooler's diary. Everything seems to take place in the family's living-room... It must be very low budget! Conveniently the ML gets paired with the adopted sibling, and the real sibling falls for the only family friend and also business partner. Just a drama abt 4 people! Not to mention they are all rich & famous, after rising from rags due to being genius or something! The ML becomes an IT graduate and businessman as an orphan while raising two younger siblings. The adopted brother is also a top student. The "dumb" sister becomes a well-known actress over night etc. The setting for this is literally an average house, too big to be realistic as an orphans' house, and too small for 3 accomplished adults.Some side actions and characters are unnecessary, like the handsome doctor and the second fight with the gangsters.
This mini drama is saved by the excellent actors - special mention to the child actors!
Just watching out of boredom.

here comes the shining knight
This is really endearing and fluffy... Dont bother abt logic much! Everyone is a young successful professional, even hardships are there just to be challenged etc. Coincidences are TOO MUCH: in the big China, what chances are to bump into the same guy at work place, sleeping place, leisure place... over and over again (im saying it for the second couple as well)??The young actors are totally eye candy and pleasant watch. Still the FL being so short while the ML is so tall looks cringey af. Why do the ML's have to be the tallest in dramas? Is this really what matters? Also the FL is not the best choice out there. The SFL is all abt exposing legs while pretending not to care. Yeah, we are dumb!
The trope of "fate created during childhood" doesnt appeal much to me... But perhaps some other watchers like it!? For god's sake, my life totally moved on, im NOT looking for a sweetheart from kindergarten! I WAS NOT a hero at 9 yrs, does this mean i'm not loveable??
The ML is hot - but dont get carried away, there is little to zero skinship... It's all abt teasing and flirting.
These being said, its totally relaxing and fluffy. Not dropping it (yet).
