Most people seemed to really dislike the FL in the first handful pf episodes and I would agree, its too much with no obvious reason for her behavior. It gets irritating. The good news is that does tail off and the story is overall good. It is so refreshing to have a cdrama romance without ridiculous controlling and nasty parents. So tired of grown adults being dictated to by a parent or 2 that acts like they are still a child who canāt make smart decisions.
My only wish would be they tone down the exhausting over analyzing of everything in the romance development and I would say what should have been a sweet moment between the leads is ruined by it. Sometimes writers we donāt need dumb overthinking- just spontaneous actions.
Wardrobe dropped a ball with FL, and ML did not need so much makeup. The few scenes w/o it he looked better.
A hilarious historical rom-com, with so much license being taken injecting modern elements- its just what the audience needs after a slew of dramas trying to be too serious and heavy. Thereās a reason we love kdramas and thats for the escape factor and humor that is quintessential korean!! Though this show also has its dark and serious moments, they do not last, and we are given yet more slices of fun. The cast is perfect, especially the leads, and 2ML syndrome is bursting at the seams. The chemistry between the leads though is š„š„ and will put giant smiles on your faces. A solid 10/10 and a welcome relief to start out the 2023 drama year!! A must watch, and certainly on the re-watch list. #swoon
What total and utter crap this pile of garbage show is. All the kissing scenes are cut, for no reason why-theres plenty chinese shows with amazing kiss scenes. There is zero plot. The comments on Viki are just frustrated with the lack of plot and full of āonly here for Dylanā which tells you everything you need to know. Lol. If the lead had been someone less pleasing on their eye theyād not be hanging around or rating it as high. When you rate a poor show based on the fact you are attracted to the lead, then we have a big problem. Shows should be rated on their content, quality of writing, engagement factor etc.
There is very little in way of soundtrack. A handful of nice somgs but the rest is weird and odd sound effects.
The ONLY redeeming quality in this entire show are the fight scenes, but sadly theres not enough if them to save this hot mess of nonsense.
Donāt hold out for a good ending either. Itās not worth it. I canāt believe I kept hanging on for this.
LOL what a hilarious mess with the 2 male leads. This has to be the first time I have EVER rooted so hard for the second which I never do. Yeah sure you feel bad for them and all but something is just way off in the script, direction and casting here. Compatibility wise the FL & 2nd had all the chemistry and personality match, and he stayed solid throughout. The writers should have done a better job at convincing the audience of the reason why they fell in love in the first place, because you donāt get it until the last 5 min of the series. So so odd.
The suspense factor was a good add and surprising, but it needed to be wrapped way sooner than it did. That started to drag and quite frankly became annoying.
The side characters in the squad were great, as were the 2 moms relationship (again cementing the 2ndās bond with FL) and that was a welcome addition to cross the wealth divide we usually are fed.
Too many idiotic plot issues and dumb tropes for no reason that I guess the writers have zero imagination. One of these days theyāll catch on that a show with positive energy and stellar storytelling means theres no need for daft tropes that donāt fit.
The show redeems itself with a good final episode for the cast, except for goodness sakes eith a time jump there was no need to do the dirty on 2ML. Do better.
I donāt know what everyoneās selling but this is at best a 7/10. There are so many more cdramas who do this better. The plot points were horribly written, and the directing was awful in parts. I guess the fluffy final episode left everyone with all the feel goods lol.
Yes theres all the dumb cliches that donāt even make any sense in the plot, there is the toxic stuff too. Theres emotional manipulation, misunderstandings because no one can communicate and a group of friends that for the most part of the show are a bunch of idiots. Lets call it what it is already.
Yes, its a sweet romance once they learn how to talk but it will take most the series to get there. She still looks shocked when she is kissed after being married for ages. Not certain if the reason for the PG-13 rating?? Who knows. Its a filler show, and certainly not a rewatch.
Not a massive fan of e-sports, but I do happen to like the way they create dramas around it, and this is one of the good ones. Itās nice to have a lovely romance without overbearing dictatorship parents, or exes causing a mass of issues. I loved seeing how the team came together throughout the series, they were already successful but had had their fair share of issues necessitating the replacement of a key player. The way they incorporated a female gamer was fun, and for the most part sheās likeable. Iād say her biggest fault is she canāt keep her face out of the online comments - and if she had, would saved a lot of her main problems! (and a fair amount of screentime) which got annoying as it continued on. K, Cat & Chubby make great support players with Chengs bro hanging around for the fun factor. The character arc for everyone individually and collectively was well done and genuine. I felt for K with those nasty user parents. Ugh. So glad he had a team to give him the family he really doesnāt have, though I hoped SOMEONE could have pointed out to the parents how awful they are and to get lost and never be seen again lol. Great show, I just finished my second watch and could skip thru all the gaming stuff cos once was enough, and get to the parts of the show I loved. A solid 9/10 for me.
**warning if product placements annoy you, this show is packed full of them and are rarely subtle. š¤£š¤£ Iām sure they are necessary for the funding, and they donāt bother me, but I see lots of people complaining about them, so heads up. āš¼
Pants ending and sadly writers will never seem to understand the power of a final episode in ratings.
So much potential in this show, like for reals, but far too many stupid scenes, wasted airtime and pointless filler plots and then rushed the resolution. Stupid.
Giving it 8/10 because the chemistry was there and the story was sweet for the mains, but oh boy was the execution and timing way off. Donāt rush endings! This story missed big time opportunity to have the leads team up to be one heck of a power couple in the industry they specialize in and it was a total miss.

At least they didnāt have her dressing like a 5 yr old, in lace and collars like Iāve seen in some cdramas!!!

Not a fan of the cliffhanger ending but as long as Season 2 is a sure bet, then I good.
Never draggy and all the crew on this show is great. Great relationship buidling and love the collab between all the Emergancy services.
