I was so close to dropping this because I hate when people tell me to just get through the first 2 episodes before judging a drama but like.... just get through the first two episodes before judging this drama. It truly gets better and better. It's lovely.
I have NEVER liked this guy. I will continue sticking to my gut when it comes to these kdrama actors because it’s usually right. A pretty face means nothing to me when their aura is dark.
Whew I almost dropped this. The first few episodes are like a sleeping pill but it picks up around episode 5. The two leads had great chemistry but the story as a whole wasn't strong enough to support it. I love the slice-of-life genre and these two actors deserved a better script. It was just ok. Won't watch it again.
Thank god. I was in such a huge slump I was about to give up kdramas for a while. I was so beyond tired of watching kids, and adults who act like kids, so this drama has been a huge breath of fresh air. Don't judge it by the awful cover, this is a very well-written show about two older leads finding the courage to love again in their 40s-50s. The characters are deeply layered and their actions feel real. The only weak spot was the disgusting daughter but I was able to ignore her cartoonish scenes enough to still enjoy it. It's really, really good.
I don't know if the female lead gets less annoying and I don't care. Why would anyone turn down a high paying job after they've just been fired? Why would anyone be rude to someone who's offering them a JOB? Does the screenwriter think the FL's shitty attitude is cute or something? Because it's NOT. lol I'm so tired of bad writing in kdramas. Dropped at episode 5.
I love a good antihero and this FL truly does not give a fuck. 😂 Even funnier is how no one in her office has a single clue how to do their job. They stay fucking up. This is definitely something different from the same old formulaic crap Korea keeps churning out, but you won't enjoy this one if you're an oppa soldier. I personally enjoyed it.
I don't mind imperfect characters but there's no reason in the WORLD this needed to be 20 episodes. The first half was entertaining but I stopped caring around episode 16 when the story became silly and repetitive. You can also skip about 90% of the flashbacks in the first two episodes and will have missed almost nothing. Kdrama writers really need to learn when enough is enough as far as pacing is concerned.
Can’t believe a woman wrote this. If your plan to address Korea’s declining birth rate is to try to manipulate Korean women through the entertainment media, you’re gonna have to write something a whole lot better than this. Try again next time. 😂
It's wild how these older kdramas normalized these men throwing women all over the room like rag dolls while calling them everything but a child of god. 😂 If you can look past that it was pretty good. Jung Kyung Ho is literally excellent, I'm so glad I found him in Crash Course in Romance. His comedic timing is the best I’ve ever seen, he’s a great actor. Yoon Hyun Min was also great and really brings his character alive.
I agree with the person who said the poster displayed doesn’t match the show at all. It makes it look like this is a lighthearted, fluffy show but it’s not. This is a dark show with dark comedy. Really good tho!
The plot kind of fell apart at the end but I still enjoyed the romance with the two older leads. The high school kids' arc was also very well done (especially the two boys), but it's the older couple that really won my heart. Any other recommendations for good dramas with older leads?
