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.

I loved the first episode. The leads are great actors. I'm curious about what happened. True...there have been similar settings in other kdramas f.e. Samdalri or Love next door but each story turned out to be different.
Since Jae Wook is my fave korean actor next to Lee Jun ho and Ji Chang Wook this autumn is a fantastic time for me drama-wise. Lol

I will give this a try. I like the lead actors.

It´s on viki in europe.

I will definetily watch this. I really like Kim Do Hoon. He was great in "Love scout" and "Moving". And I loved Kim Young Dae in "Shooting star" and "The forbidden marriage". Kim You Jung is pretty but her dramas didn´t do anything for me so far. I liked her performance in "Backstreet rookie" the most although the drama itsself was just mediocre (sorry, JCW).

I am watching this for the first time and enjoying it so far. BUT I am a bit irritated by the acting in some scenes. I´ve watched other dramas of the FL and she was always so on point and natural with her acting. Butin this drama there are many scenes were you can feel she´s acting. I also think the characters aren´t fleshed out enough and the loveline is very "straight to your face". It just happens for no obvious reasons. The plot also gets convoluted in the end. The big plus is the overall concept of the show, the fast pace and the effects (for a TV drama). The music reminds me so much of Marvels soundtrack that I almost anticipate Iron Man flying around the corner at every minute . LOL
And then there´s the ML. I avoided his dramas so far because his unnatural look distratced me from the plot. But in this story it fits because he litarally is playing a cartoon character. I also think he´s acting decent most of the time and has a certain charme. Fortunately he improved his acting over the years as I found him much better in "Law and the city". Even his look seems to be more natural in that drama.
To finish this post: I would recommend this drama. It´s fast paced, occasionally funny and has two charismatic leads who haven´t reached their full acting potential here but are nice to watch nonetheless.
