It has very good reasons :While Minjae’s traumatic past and disability deserve genuine sympathy, they do not…
I understand that realism alone isn't enough to make a drama deserving of a high rating, but I think you're judging the story too much based on whether the relationship meets your personal standards of a healthy romance.
The point of this drama isn't to show a perfect relationship or two emotionally mature people who always make the right decisions. It's about two flawed individuals who genuinely love each other but struggle with their own insecurities, fears, and circumstances. Min-jae's emotional neglect is a valid criticism, but Yoo-jin isn't flawless either. Both of them make mistakes, and that's part of what makes their relationship feel human.
I also think we should consider the emotional depth, character development, acting, and the way the story portrays their struggles rather than letting one frustrating aspect of the romance define the entire drama.
You can absolutely criticize their relationship, but does that really mean the whole drama deserves a low rating? A story doesn't have to portray an ideal relationship to be meaningful or well-written. Sometimes the most interesting characters are the ones who make us frustrated, because they feel real.
I genuinely think this drama deserves more credit than you're giving it. You don't have to agree with every decision the characters make to appreciate the effort, emotions, and storytelling behind them. I'd honestly encourage you to look at the bigger picture before deciding that the drama deserves such a low rating.
i am gonna lose my mind. ppl are ragebaiting me so hard. bro have no family, only thing he had was swimming then…
I look at the actions of both characters, not just one of them.
Are you saying Yoo-jin doesn't get jealous? She even gets jealous of Se-jin. She's genuinely in love with him.
That guy was constantly interfering in their relationship, and during the bet, he said that if the girl won, he would leave them alone for good. Yoo-jin wasn't going to break up with Min-jae either way. I agree that she acted a little childish in that moment, but when someone has constantly been the reason your relationship gets ruined, that kind of offer can be really tempting.
As for when she said she would end their relationship if her mother didn't approve of him, it was because of the difference in their social status. But Min-jae misunderstood and thought she was saying that because of his disability. She would never give up on someone she loves that deeply so easily.
She was just trying to protect a little of her pride. She had genuinely put a lot of effort into their relationship. Min-jae didn't show her enough affection, and that's why, when he suddenly left without saying anything, Yoo-jin thought he had gotten tired of her.
At the end of the day, both characters have their flaws. I'm a fan of this couple, but blaming only one person is simply unfair.
Some are haters. look at the way they comment and attack others!
I don’t know why they won’t just let the series *Love Alarm* go... The show benefited everyone involved: the writer and director gained recognition, Netflix saw huge success, and Song Kang became famous. The only person who suffered is So-hyun—even though she was just an actress; it’s not as if she could actually choose how the series ended. I hope *White Scandal* gets the attention it deserves, and that people stop sending hate toward So-hyun. She truly deserves the very best.

What you say about the characters in the series is true, but why do you think people in the real world aren't like that? Both characters have flaws; they need to learn how to treat each other better and become more mature—but that’s no reason to give the series a low rating.

Just because Min-jae is ill, that doesn't give him the right to do whatever he pleases and expect everyone to just accept it. I’m a fan of this couple myself, but... He left that girl without a word—even knowing how deeply Yu-jin loved him; she even said she would have preferred to die over being separated. So, now you expect Yu-jin to welcome him back with open arms and say, "Let’s just pick up where we left off"?
This series really deserves a higher rating; I don't know why its score is so low. Perhaps it's because some people find it difficult to understand the characters?

From now on, she’s returning to her prime❤️🔥
It was a difficult time! I’m her fan; she has been my favorite actress for 10 years.
