I’m giving this 8.5/10. I wanted to totally love it, and in moments it almost got there. Far too many conflicting plot lines fighting for it, and it just felt a bit jarring throughout. I also got a little bored in those later episodes before it picked back up again, I don’t like it when that happens. I’m glad I waited for it all to drop to binge it, or else I might have gotten a little lost. Honestly I don’t mind all the advertising- they need it to fund these shows we love so much but for goodness sakes can the directors please stop the actors from oooing and ahhing over the food like they never had a fried chicken or sandwich before? I mean you can’t blink without seeing a fried chicken delivery guy in Korea. We know it was probably their first meal. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It’s just ridiculous and so fake and cringe. Did Rowoon also need so much make up? He’s hotness without it so it was a bit daft. I loved the chemistry tho between the leads especially as the show moved into the last 3 episodes they totally sold it. ❤️ Still doesn’t quite hit the levels of some of the better dramas of the year but it comes close. Nice job.
Light, easy going drama, but it gets draggy and easy to skip episodes and not miss much. Silly at times, both couples are great but would have loved more scenes with the general. Its a little imbalanced. No real drama though everything gets resolved fairly quickly not like most historical dramas where we have to put up with unfair extra marriages etc.
About ready to drop this. I’m not quite sure what I’ve watched for the past 18 eps. I mean is it like Sherlock? No - the genius that is the ML is rando. But its giving similar vibes. I preferred when he was mysterious and then he has a personality switch when the romance develops but those scenes are cringey as heck, like come on we could have had a much tenser sizzle confession scene/first kiss. It was just weird man. Theres scenes that probably aren’t meant to be funny but we are all laughing. The turtle is what most of us are worried about and theres not enough Andy scenes to placate us. I’m lost at this point man. FL went downhill fast. ML too perfect and odd. No emotional connection so I could care less about everyone in this show except Chen Mo’s whereabouts. Fact is seems most people in the comments here are thirsting after Wallace Huo. Fair do’s he’s cute, but folks—the show is not all that just cos of him!!! lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
as someone who almost solely watches romance drama,i would highly recommend it
Its not a romance show by any means. it drops it sporadically into the script. sadly most the time its cringe and weird. theres way better romances out there. this series is more about the murders and investigation.
I think this show had some potential- but its so low key pushing toxic manipulation to get others to do what they want, theres at least 5 relationships impacted by manipulation its disgusting to promote it as normal in media like that. Also the music is horrendous- so try to tune it out. Stayed for the doc and the friend. They were my fave.

i’m so sad to say this but I had to drop it. After telling everyone this series was my favourite of the year and then waiting forever for season 2, I sm absolutely gutted at the turn it took. I’m sorry I can’t even finish it. 😢
I give this one a 9. It’s unique and wholesome and a sweet romance. Yes could use a little more zing in the chemistry department but despite what some people are complaining about I felt a lot of authenticity from both the main leads in the way they performed their roles. ML suffering from years of guilt and trauma, which began before the death of the gf, from her toxic behavior and likely from his mother too. He is shy and gentle and he played that part well.
Of course as a Lpool fan and being from there I have to say thank you for incl our great team in this drama. Its ALWAYS Man U, which is such an unimaginative choice, and naturally it features too.
There is some draggy parts, pointless filler stories but there is a sense of community in this show thats ispiring and who’d have thought the gang leader would be the biggest wingman!!
Great show, don’t approach this expecting the next “Hidden Love” or the dramatics of “King the Land” - it has its own pace and thats ok.
Thank goodness thats over. I’m exhausted. Seriously the stupidest script between leads I have ever seen. Yep these two are cute together but that was sooooo dragged out u will be pulling your hair out. Hong sisters are dreadful writers!
If they hadn’t spent so long on the stupid back anc forth with those leads the drama would have been awesome.
we would have got:
faster relationship progression (same plot would be fine) more couple time future story a couple yrs later would have been satisfying here mayors conclusion
and what was the deal with the man that knows everything and pops up everywhere 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great acting by all, though the leads were helped along by a superb OST for most of their scenes that really helped ignite the chemistry that was needed here, especially for so many episodes in the beginning. The one drawback for this show is the exhausting number of tedious business scenes. So I skipped a lot of those. Needed more of the leads during the first half there lives seem to run so parallel but hardly meeting and we needed that. Great couple in the end, mature and wholesome show.
Never even knew there was an original or that this was a remake so it looks like from other reviews I held an advantage! Absolutely incredible acting from Beenie and Hyoseop. Hands down that was an incredible performance on its own. The story does get a bit confusing the closer it gets to the end, but I stayed for the leads.
Would have liked a fuller ending, like please, after all that intensity- solid 9/10.
I feel masses of guilt for Winwin because I had to drop this one. I couldn’t do it any longer with the slow as heck is that a burn or a smoulder and the FL was just too old. If its gonna be that big of an age diff-fine but what were they trying to pass off a 6 yr gap? Nope- and that made no sense either since they were apparently in college together. So, no thanks. Cast someone the actual age difference you are trying to portray. The storyline is meh too.
