production quality? production includes editing and that was awful!

nahhhh thats ok. I’ll watch it anyway because I’ve been waiting forever but at least I can go in with realistic expectations lol. Like I don’t get it, they shoupd cast her in a thriller or something but for FL romance roles she ruins them.

noooooooo

Someone please tell me Ruo Nan isn’t going to frozen fish kiss in this show. Its her trademark and the biggest reason why I despise her getting FL roles. Ugh please don’t ruin this show.

Much better than Melo Movie, without a doubt. Typical role for Se Young, for In Woo this showcases his range as an actor. Very different from his role in Marry My Husband. They both did a stellar job. Would love to see Se Young play a role where she’s doesn’t dominate the relationship, has no trauma or is maddeningly angry and aggressive to other mains. It’s getting a little old. The its my way or the highway isn’t that great.

lol ok

First episode started out strong and catchy, but I felt like it gradually dropped off. waited for a final episode that was just meh. These Jdramas are quirky, and I love that about them usually.

Interesting how you think you know why people didn’t like the drama.

The chinese know how to make slice of life dramas. The koreans however, this was not it.

I agree. I never understand why singers wouldn’t value their voices enough to not smoke either????

Major disappointment. What a totally depressing show. I expected a lot more from these leads, but it just felt flat and unconvincing. Zero chemistry. Seconds was the only relationship I cared about and then the ending was just flat all round. Ugh.

The best kick off to 2025 Kdramaland ✌🏼

I’d agree. I came into this off the backs of WTPR which was a masterpiece. While I liked the mellow nature of it, it lacks just enough that the hype of it, for me, falls flat.

agreed

The not much else happening is why I scored this 8.5. Theres a real lack in underlying plot and its needed. The tension points were great but the inbetween moments then felt a little lack luster.

I know this has a very mellow vibe, and an understated romance, however its lacking something thats hard to put a finger on. Probably the lack of any real tension in the plot, despite the efforts with evil ex colleague and the rando old guy chaebol who has a last minute redemption line, after he’s destroyed everything of course.

This show is full of the tropes, and yes even kdrama’s favorite sponsor, Kopiko, but you don’t really care because you are already hook line and sinker into the show. I am glad to see this guy finally get a main lead gig.

It’s ok, and a nice watch, you may skip a few bits like I did, it’s not a 10, and a 9 for me at all stretch. A good 8.5.

Romance feels like a reach with this label, there is some, but most the time it’s manipulated or hidden, and the truth comes out and destroys. Life lessons.

I’m giving this a 9. I won’t be watching it again, that’s for sure. I didn’t like the story or several of the characters, but thats what made the series so good. It was an unpleasant ride most of the time, but the cast pulled off this gritty dark script with absolute class. 10/10 for their performance. I removed a star for the ending-as per usual it’s rushed and not really complete but not terrible either.

Not any ounce of fluff in this show. Good job.

Skip to the end. Save yourself the torture.

Very mid. Not really much of a romance drama in the end. I mean yeah we got some couples. The plot was kinda strange and tried to be really dramatic but no one really seemed to suffer for too long ever. Lots of comments during the show about the ages, it really wasn’t selling tho im not bothered about their ages at all the director and script did very little to create convincing chemistry. It was lacking, especially when you finish one absolutely ON FIRE chemistry show like When the phone Rings and you watch this. SL would have been a much more suited partner because he at least attempted a relationship the whole time. Be warned-theres a few misses here.
