Messy …
Acting + casting was great but damn did the plot have many holes in it.No back story on who the Snow Man truly was and why Hongrang (little brother) saw him in his dreams.
Painter as a villain lacked a convincing villain arc, just felt very forced + cliche.
Jae-yi and Hongrang’s romance felt very rushed and almost out of nowhere, considering the lack of interactions they had for it to progress to the intensity it did was strange. Generally these types of dramas are more than 11 eps and are more like 20 episodes to fully flesh out the characters.
No closure on what happened to Knot-nim in the end. Also wished they would have dived more into In-hoe’s story.
The whole poisoning thing from the arsenic + alum made no sense that it had effects years later when in reality it would have had more immediate effects when they were children. Hongrang is fine for over a decade from the poisoning but suddenly starts feeling the effects. Genuinely made no sense.
The FL felt very weak and straight up stupid at times with how she’d constantly wander off alone with no proper weapons and acted all defenseless, constantly needing to be saved. In the 12 years when Hongrang went missing and she started her search for him I find it unbelievable she really didn’t learn any martial art skills considering the types of people she was interacting with in secret.
Overall very confusing and nonsensical plot that didn’t come together and felt incredibly rushed at times.
Sloppy script writing however the cast were excellent.

PEDOPHILE alert
REASONS for his ARREST:1. Dated/groomed a minor
2. Lied about it whilst sending letters to a CHILD whilst on MILITARY SERVICE
3. Gaslighted her into switching to his agency
4. Didn't pay her + cast her in shitty web dramas and made her coach actors
5. Offered to help with her DUl law suit but then years later buried her in legal fees worth
$500k
6. Blocked her pleas for help despite having a net worth of over $100,000,000
7. Leaked her person number to reporters
8. Did not attend her funeral/pay respects
9. Refuses to apologise to her family
Other perverted reasons:
1. Wanted to date a woman 20 years younger than him in an interview (joked about his future wife being 6 yrs old in his mid 20s)
2. Didn't defend Sulli as her costar which led to her suicide from all the backlash
3. Creeped out Kim Yoo Jung during a commercial (said he couldn't wait for her to mature and be love interests in a drama) when she was 12/13

Second lead syndrome
The show started off promising although how promising can a show be about a girl who essentially feels that falling in love with a hot guy instead of an ‘ugly’ guy will solve all of her relationship issues.Hwan Jae Yeol (the ml) is honestly toxic yet we are meant to ship him and Bunny together. This dude bullies her, is overly possessive of her even by K drama standards, runs to his ex constantly, kisses her for the first time in front of his ex just to desperately latch onto her, lacks communication skills whenever Bunny asks him a question, barely makes any effort with her friends unlike Ji Won and genuinely has 0 personality.
I know she clearly doesn’t end up with Ji Won from Lee Chae Min being presented as the ml but he is a much better guy for Bunny. Dude is actually wholesome, kind, cares for his sister, interacts with Bunny’s friends, drives her around everywhere and always cheers her up.
I’m honestly done with the toxic ML always getting the girl.
The story essentially has no substance after a while. Would not recommend. Tbh Lee Chae Min and Roh Jeong Eui really need to start choosing better dramas cause their acting isn’t awful it’s the scripts that suck.
