The Romance Was Cute, but the Story Ran Out of Steam
# Review
The start was really strong and addictive, and I’m pretty sure this drama would have worked much better if they had kept it to 8 episodes instead of stretching it to 12.
The chemistry between Tae Ha and Eun Sae was really cute, and their relationship was probably the main reason I kept watching. But once it became clear that they loved each other, their relationship basically stopped developing. There was no more tension, uncertainty, or anything new that could keep me invested in them as a couple.
From that point on, the story started to drag. Watching Tae Ha trying to get out of the gangster world while Eun Sae slowly got her life back just wasn’t interesting enough to carry several more episodes. Those parts felt repetitive and much slower compared to the strong beginning.
It had a really promising setup and a couple I genuinely liked, but the story simply didn’t have enough material for 12 episodes. As a shorter 8-episode drama, I think it could have been much tighter, more engaging, and overall much better.
