The plot stays engaging and all the actors are doing a wonderful job. I think it´s great to see KYD finally get a role where he can present more complex emotions. I really liked him in "Shooting stars" though. He´s great at comedy. But this is another side of him. Kim Do Hoon always delivers. And I think KYJ is killing it too. Her best role yet by far and her best drama. Wasn´t a fan of her older ones to be honest. But she´s a good actress.
I´d love to see LeNa get a somewhat happy ending. Unlike the FL she is someone who´s redeemable cause she seems to have empathy. Would be great to see her with Jae O. They would make a funny couple. So I hope they don´t do everything like they did in the webtoon.

IMO "Dear X" has the best plot out of all the ongoing dramas and there is some strong competition with "The manipulated" and "Typhoon family" which are also great or "Dynamite Kiss" which is predictable but so funny and well played. What a great time for a kdrama watcher.

This is truly engaging. And I love that the story takes twists and turns.

The relationship between the two leads is complicated but I get where both are coming from. I hope we get more information about the second twin and the whole time he was vanished.

Yes, for me it's a 8,5 so far. One of the best dramas this year.

I agree with you. The last obstacle should have been a success for once because it's getting tiresone that the enemy is always there and ruins it for the company. I would have prefered similar obstacles but without a single antagonist. It seems too unnatural and unbelievable that Pyo is always getting in the way. Other than that it's a highly entertaining show with a great cast that keeps you on your toes. And everytime the song with the roses on the train coms up I have to start laughing.

It's so funny. If the kissing and intimacy scenes are well done the rating here always reaches incredible heights no matter the rest of the story. Just my observation. Lol

I really liked King the land although the story was nothing special. The lead couple was so convincing and it was also incredibly funny. I love Lee Junho.
Business proposal was a mixed bag for me. I only liked the second couple and the old man. He's always playing hilarious characters. But he was way funnier in Suspicious partner.

The story is a typical paint by numbers-romcom. But the actors are selling it. It's entertaining and typical kdrama like Business proposal or King the land. And I hope they leave out the childhood connection.

Sociopathy can´t really be healed. And in my opinion all she did is abuse and manipulate others. I like stories with villains beeing the protagonist and KJY is killing it. I doubt this will end happy. But let´s wait and see.

I guess since she's a sociopath with sociopathic parents and can't love and he's kinda messed up and traumatized too lacking a moral compass (although he has feelings if only for her cause he formed a trauma bond with her), I fear history will repeat itsself. If they end up together they will be the root of the next sociopathic children. These kinda stories tend to get darker and darker by commenting on todays society.
My other idea is that both of them will die after harming each other.

Sure. Yohan may be stronger. But the way he thinks everyone and everything belobgs to his playground was quite similar. For me at least.

LJW speaks different when he's DY. The voice is deeper and the speed is slower.

That's what I thought too at first. But I assume some sheninigans which made it harder for her to tell them apart.

Yohan reminds me a bit of King Geoffrey in GOT. He looks young and innocent but is really nuts.

I think D.O. plays the villain in a very creepy way. He hasn't had much screentime so far compared to JCW. I think he'll deliver. KJW has been a great villain in other dramas. So I'm glad he wasn't casted here giving others the chance to show their evil side. Lol

I think he appeared in lots of great shows. I just thought that Impossible heir was messy and Dodosolsol had a terrible last quarter. The rest I did enjoy a lot. I also think he's one of the best actors of his generation in kdramaland. But tastes differ and that's okay.

I agree. Squid game and The Hunger games are already there. We don´t need a new version. But I doubt it´ll go down this route.

I think this drama is very entertaining and kinda reminds me of a mixture of some Hollywood movies and classic TV series (The shawshank redemption, Prison break and even Squid game).
I hope it can add something new. JCW is great as always. I´d like to see him less blood-stained in his next drama though. I´m not so much into graphic violance. I love a good fight but not so much all the body fluids flying around. So I hope not every episode gets as bloody as ep.4.
I don´t mind if there is a love interest for the ML but romance per se doesn´t fit the story. It´s okay if it´s not entering romcom territory. I also hope there isn´t a reunion with the ex-girlfriend.

This drama is very well written with a good pace and believable characters. Next to Our unwritten Seoul this may be my contender for fave drama of 2025. Netflix released lots of great dramas this year. I slso loved Dear Hongrang, Weak Hero Class 2, Tangerines, Melo movie and Bon appetit.

Yes. I thought that too. Also the music.
