You can tell that so much was edited and cut out but I am giving them a pass because the lead’s chemistry and communication blew me away and those fight scenes especially the last fight was🔥. I will be rewatching this a lot

I have finally gotten around to rewatching this drama. When he said in ep16 “if you don’t, how can I make it come true for you”? When they had a mini celebration for her birthday and he asked her what she wished for. OMG 😍😍😍 How did I miss that the first time though?
Many do have valid complaints, however the majority take up more MDL space. What they fail to realize is they're…
I can’t even begin to stress how true this comment is. I don’t watch a lot of K-Dramas, I am more of a CDrama watcher so I don’t know how bad it is on the KDrama side of MDL or any other review sites but I will tell you this CDrama feels alot worse, fandoms are just rating 10s for their faves, they don’t care if the plot is good , if the acting is good, you will see them say things like, “if you are a fan of xyz or like xyz please rate all 10s” and not “if you believe this drama deserves 10s with how you felt while watching please rate accordingly” For Every popular traffic idol actor I deduct .5 and .3 from the popular traffic idol actresses (for example if the rating is 8.7 then it’s really 8.2 for the actors and 8.4 for the actresses) for that drama because I know it’s just a bunch of their Stans rating 10s. Also god forbid you don’t like the drama, the mob hive will descend on you like you are devils evil spawn, how dare you not like the drama, how dare you not to say the acting is the greatest thing you have ever seen, you then are branded a hater and an anti, because all their faves are the greatest actors in CDramaLand and woe betide any one who disagrees which is laughable to say the least because mind you majority of CDrama idol actors can’t act worth a dime.
Altho I have read the spoilers and knew what the final choices were going to be, I was just able to finally complete it now. Despite strong unfair tactics of sabotage, manipulative editing and obvious plants by the PD crew my ship sailed through Jimin, my gorgeous kind hearted man, what an absolute treasure you are. I adore you so freaking much JaeYeon, my beautiful soft spoken elegant princess, what a jewel you are, I adore you so crazy much I love you both so freaking much, individually and together. I hope your relationship keeps growing stronger and please be happy, I hope you will be happy together forever but more importantly be happy for yourself too. My heart is truly incredibly happy for you both and love you both so much. I will definitely rewatch your journey again.
PS: congrats to JiWon and Woojae. JiWon you are such a beautiful and kind hearted soul. I wish you forever happiness.
The fault is not on her part, but on the part of who offered her the performance - for her, this is work. She…
WTH do you mean by she has self respect. So the actresses that do kiss scenes don’t have self respect.? I don’t know if you were trying to be supportive of her or if you are just unintentionally stupid but this comment of yours is wrong And FYI just because someone doesn’t do kiss scenes doesn’t mean they have or don’t have self respect I guess the actors/actresses that portray murderers, criminals etc in movies/series, are not good people.
What??? 2 min silence for you first...you think LMH's acting was good, with stone like expression in every single…
Please can you tell me the part in which I said I liked LMHs acting? Also if I was such a big fan of his why would I only be watching this drama more than a decade after its release….. I like a couple of K-Drama actors but I don’t Stan any and i am definitely not in any actors fandom so your accusation and self righteous indignation, lemme borrow your words, make me laugh.
It is so unnatural and jarring, and cheapens the scene.Millionaires living in a multi-million won mansion need…
OMG, I laughed so hard @ this comment. I haven’t started the drama yet, waiting for it to end before I start but I do come to the comment section once in a while to read the thoughts of people to make sure I am not saving a drama to binge watch that ended not being generally positively received
romance is a genre just like any other genre. it is no lesser than other genres like revenge, thriller, etc and…
You are absolutely right and I for one I am glad I do not like the same things as majority of MDL viewers seem to like and enjoy, I shudder at the thought of being mediocre. Justifying people rating down a good and well acted drama because they got their feelings hurt that they didn’t get 2 more kiss scenes or whatever it is they were expecting is lemme borrow your words bad form and deserve to be clowned. Besides no one is against romance, it was never the focus of the drama in the first place no matter what the clowns (once again borrowing your words) down rating the drama say to justify their whining.
It’s so funny how the people claiming the drama wasn’t that good afterall are saying this because there was no romance or the romance was not up to what they were expecting. What a complete ass joke. This really just shows the level of the average CDrama viewer here on MDL, little wonder mediocre and badly acted dramas gets such high ratings here because it has romance to fulfill whatever delusional fantasies they harbor. This is a revenge drama and it never pretended to be anything else + the FL said several times to the ML that all she wants was her mom and a place to call home, that she wasn't looking for the “you are the only one for me and I will love only you till death do us part” type of romance, so if you are disappointed due to whatever expectations you had, that’s on you. I am all for romance but the lack thereof doesn’t negate a good drama especially when the focus of said drama wasn’t romance in the first place. The constant disappointment I feel reading comments here on MDL drama after drama is frankly overwhelming. Just feels like a cesspool of no substance and surface level people.
PS: if you feel the need to reply me with any self righteous indignation, I employ you to cease and desist because I will just know that you are triggered and hence one of the people I am talking about, therefore you are not worth my time
For me this drama is masterpiece like The Double. FL and her mother pretty much highlight of the drama. I glad…
Thank you for this comment. Although I have yet to complete the drama, this is how I feel. I hear there is minimal romance but I honestly wish there was ZERO romance. I like the FL focused on her revenge plans
This is already very good considering the number of people with bad intentions who are targeting this drama in…
Exactly. I am so sick of all these fangirls/boys on MDL acting all self righteous like they don’t give 10/10 or 5/5 to mid dramas just because it’s their fave idol’s drama and FYI not everyone giving a 1 rating to a drama is a hater/anti. Some times the script/plot and acting of a drama is just not good enough and deserves to be poorly rated, not everything is about imaginary haters
I am currently @ep25 and have have my initial/current rating on 9.5/10, i am trending towards a 10/10 upon completion barring any decrease in my enjoyment of the drama but I will say this, if this Drama goes the C-Drama “parents can torture, manipulate, emotionally, mentally & physically abuse their children” but all is forgiven @ the end & its all kumbaya one big happy family because apparently no child has the right to decide to remove themselves from a toxic/harmful relationship because they will be seen as unfilial, no matter what the parents might have put them through all in the name of they are still your parents. That uncle is a creep, her aunt and aunt’s husband are evil, useless and complicit but the worst offender is her mother, I have seen my fair share of bad parents in CDramas but this has the be the worst one yet, even if you don’t believe she was almost raped, she has bruises from her fall and this useless pathetic excuse of not just a mother but a human being, wasn’t even concerned about her injuries but more concerned about inconveniencing her new husband. The more I type the more furious I am about how such a wicked, nasty, useless and evil mother can actually exist. The fact that she’s even having any sort of conversation with that mother is already pissing me the hell off but If this drama does any sort of reconciliation between FL and her mother, my final rating is definitely going to be a 1/10, there is no ifs and buts about that
i don't think her sadness was just due to unresolved issues of the breakup but since he was causing so much trouble…
Huh. nope. The insomnia started right from the beginning of the drama. The reason why she met the ML in the first place was because of her Insomnia, that’s what she went to the clinic for and that’s he was treating her for @ the beginning. The nightmares that came after the breakup. Yeah the whole resolve your issues or you might be fired was crazy to say the least.
I am @ ep24 and I have on an overall scale enjoyed the drama but I have rolled my eyes a couple of times with some things I like how she went to him for the confession but first of all, she took off from work but all of a sudden we see her @ work just so she can “surprisingly” see the gift left by that crazy ass ex and then have her “I have moved on” revelation, also the whole let’s go throw out the trash so as not to have the confession scene in a less picturesque place, that scene was IMO done only because they wanted the whole petal falling when they kissed scene, if so they should have just organically met outside. Then we have seen that their building uses passcodes but all of a sudden. She now forgot her keys and she has to stay @ his place, they have been drumming their matured ages in our ears the whole drama, why then is this roundabout tactics needed for her to stay over in his place. Finally, i know breakups can be hard but I felt this drama went way overboard with her grief and anguish. She already cried and mourned the relationship after it ended and I get she didn’t get closure since he broke up with her over text, but crying and wailing and have literal nightmares one year later just felt a bit too much for my likeness, not forgetting the whole getting insomnia because of a relationship. But i do really love her parents relationship and her relationship with them, also her relationship with her friends… i wish we got to see more of her friends romantic relationship Will update my final rating after I finish the drama but so far Rewatch Value 3/10 Overall Value 8/10
