Not the greatest of dramas and certainly on that list of one time watch only, but it’s got some spunk. It does great at tension building the main romance, but sadly once we got there, the constant interference of 2ML became more silly than annoying. This is a cast of fairly mature actors and I’d like to see more behavior appropriate for their age when relationships are established. If they are in their 30’s and up, we gotta stop the silly childish nonsense, and accept they are going to be intimate too at some point. They are not high school kids and should know ny now how to handle commitment.
It gets uber flat and draggy as we depart from the romance creation to just a really boring story about her job that he does most of the work for anyway. The kisses stop and chemistry goes out the window. They may as well be platonic roomies by the end. 🤣
Could have been edited down to 16, theres some super draggy parts, and the title makes zero sense at all. However the friendships and the mystery that keeps you guessing is great. The evil King is a total rat lol and it’s a very satisfying ending.
Not bad show, easy watch - lots of chemistry and kisses between the leads, so romance lovers will like it. It’s not to be taken too seriously at times though-as it can get a lot silly. There’s some obvious errors too but you can overlook it for a feel good drama that was a needed break while watching a very heavyweight serious show.

someone please tell me this is going to get better.. I’m at ep 25 and this is just one giant toxic circle of crazy. I feel sucked in but thinking I gotta take a break before I loose my mind, and if there’s no happy ending I don’t know if I can handle more of this for 15 more episodes!! 🤣🙃🤪😭😭😭
OK. Upfront I’m just gonna admit that without even watching a minute I was in love because I adored these 2 in Once We Get Married, and had seen a couple tiktok clips and I was just waiting for it all to drop in order to start. QuanQuan the little prince star of the show kiddo is the MAIN EVENT. He makes all the scenes with him extra, and he is the absolute best. He has great lines throughout. Hardy is a total clown but we all love him. The nasty sleezes are as expected and typical cdrama sleezes with the extra bit of criminal on the side. The father son duo is on point throughout. There was not one moment that wasn’t adorbs, or funny, or emotional. Chefs kiss. This show is winning for episode after episode and then CRASH AND BURN the writers loose their total minds and give us endless stupid nonsense of things that don’t matter. You have your typical cdrama female trope if saying their peace then slow-mo stomping off before the man can explain anything, over and over again. They all do it, multiple times. Give it a freaking rest!! The plot takes a total dive, we didn’t need the drama. Honestly its 2023, lets have real life issues and see these leads tackle them head on TOGETHER!!! I loved there was no interfering cdrama parents. I loved that the ML is constant in his love (once he gets beyond his initial issues) throughout and there is no annoying exes. Once we get the script back on track, the drama recovers its earlier feel of a great drama. Theres a handful of plot holes that never get explained. These 2 behave a lot like they did in their other drama, theres lots of kissing scenes and affection. Love this show! It’s a perfect second chance romance story (minus the dive in the middle).
I have seen a few Republican era Cdramas now and I had such high hopes. This drama starts off well, and has a great premise. Then we are fed endless circles of plot and dialogue between the leads, that starts to get irritating. About 2/3 of the way in we suddenly see a change and the plot picks up and gives us something to get excited about again.. a couple of good episodes to yes, you guessed it, return to self pity self righteous nonsense from the FL again. Nothing learned and nothing gained it seems. Ending could be considered nice but hardly. You don’t even know if its real or imagined. What I would have LOVED the writer to do with this, post all the healing, connecting scenes would have the FL act like she learnt something show some trust in her man, and have them together become the power couple fighting injustice they could have been. It would have been incredible and I could have put the first 2/3 of the drama behind me as a learning curve. But nah, we got a return to behaviors of the start and left us feeling disengaged, zero empathy for her cause. ML part was written well. He acted it well, and was for the most part left out on the ledge his leading lady who could care less about ALL the stuff he did for her. He remained true and loyal in his love for her and sacrificed it all for her to stay stuck up and disappear. What a sad and stupid plot. 7/10 is generous.
Despite the severe toxicity of some of the clichéd tropes in this show, it is a classic jdrama through and through. I don’t mind that. They are a league of their own 😎
Was this worth watching, no. Did I watch it through to the end, yes.
It’s the kind of show you can watch if you need to fill time between the shows you really want to watch. Its dumb fluff and thats about it. They mistitled this and should have been called Single Man. Really? My Girlfriend? Maybe if there was a sequel. It’s the show that gives more time to the second lead than the first, and writers drag and drag until the point of exhaustion. You’ll skip smd skip your way through this. Worth maybe a 6/10 for the times it wins.
Also, it put me off ice cream for a while. So overdone 🤮🤮🤮
Not bad, very typical acting for these leads just like mysterious love, these 2 just need to get married in real life or something lol. Plenty of chemistry, but I think the main downfall with the show was the pacing. There were parts that needed to speed up a bit and the final 2 episodes felt a little rushed, and one scene had an obviously silly unrealistic ending.. however this is cdrama world ya’ll so peeps can defy anything even certain death 🤣🤣.
I enjoyed it. Leads and sides were great. Not a fan of triangles, really wish cdramas would ditch that trope, its so 2000’s 2010’s kdrama that thankfully they are starting to move beyond… “sometimes”. My fave is 2 lead couples without stupid tension, but I’m not sure china is there yet!!
Oh boy this was a great drama, until it wasn’t. For once I was enjoying the fact we had a smart responsible FL that didn’t fall for tricks or other manipulations. There was all the real life trauma healing and relationship building that we love and keep us here binging away. Then the writers took a literal chainsaw to the the script and destroyed not only the character of the FL into something unrecognizable but also the dialogue became the most idiotic and pathetic attempt to stir up drama that wasn’t needed. We could have had tension but showcase it by keeping the leads in character and having them deal with it like adults. Show the world couples can work through challenges for freaking once in a while. And then there’s the biggest off putting trope of all in a drama, final minute rushed resolution. No. That’s not satisfying or pleasing at all. What a trash nose dive of final 3-4 episodes. This could have been a work of art.
Just a question that kept popping into my head while watching this show… how often did Sung Joon ask himself why on earth he took this series??!?!?!!! I mean come on man, you are a thousand times better than this kind of train wreck.
Over packed stereotypical kdrama bag of cliche tropes, with far too much yelling and aggression from the FL (and others). Highly toxic manipulation coming from spoilt brat rich 2FL, in the which Koreans are teaching young girls if you behave like that, you get away with it and men all give you a free pass.
If I was FL the way this went down I’d question for the rest of my life if the ML actually truly loved me enough cos he didn’t seem to make a decision for himself, and in the end only was free because the girl “allowed” him to be NOT because his love for the FL called for him to actually do something about the whole toxic mess. Disappointed thos show had some great potential. Loved some of the side characters. I think this show was written by teenage girls because its so so bad.
I think anyone is up for a firefighter drama right, and this movie was a good one. Nice variety of a bit of everything and the humor was a surprise. It’s a movie so there’s scenes that feel a little accelerated but hey that’s probably because I’ used to it being uber dragged in some kdramas and especially those 50 episode cdramas!!! I’m giving this eye candy movie a 9/10.
