Watched it for second leads
A decent watch but definitely slow and dragged in places. The most satisfying part was seeing the guy get cheated on by the same girl he cheated on Yoo Meri with karma delivered. The second leads were surprisingly good and honestly deserved more screen time. Overall, not bad, but could’ve been tighter and more engaging.Was this review helpful to you?
High-Octane Start, Mild Finish
The Manipulated, it was a really engaging series. The first 5–6 episodes were excellent — fast-paced, intense, and filled with standout moments. The bike chase scenes were absolutely top-notch, and Ji Chang-wook was on fire throughout.The show maintained solid momentum, though I felt the ending was a bit weak compared to the strong start, could have done better. Still, the action, visuals, and performances made it a great watch and definitely worth recommending.

An Overrated Disappointing Mess
Dear X starts off really good, but after episode 3 the story goes downhill. FL is treated like she’s perfect, even though she uses people and acts badly. Everyone helps her for no clear reason, which makes the story feel unrealistic.The other characters, like Jun-Seo and Jae-O, don’t feel like real people anymore. They just exist to support her, and their stories are not developed well. The drama looks nice, but the writing becomes weak and messy. FL just uses everyone.
Overall, Dear X is overrated. It had a good beginning, but the plot becomes flat and disappointing.
