This is unexpectedly good. Promising new director I'd say. Love the pacing and the ML and FL's chemistry even though it's not a romance. It takes a lot for me to stick with a drama without romance, this is that good

It's definitely a good one. Episode 1 will hook you

The writer probably threw in the towel on this drama.

Only on episode 3 but so far this script seems very directionless. Like where is this going and what's the point? It feels like there's no plot. Which can be the case in office romcoms like this, they can be more of a mashup of a cast of characters, but this isn't even really engaging. I do like the 2 relationships blooming, but all the stuff in between is not keeping my interest.

Like what? I've been keeping up with the comments since it came out and I've read maybe one where someone wasn't crazy about it. Everyone else has been raving about how good it is

At least 8.5 if not higher.

Did people actually rate this down to 8.1 or is that MDL doing its thing again? This is in NO way an 8.1 drama

This is a good one

I haven't started it that's why I'm asking

Well lazy writing and poor pacing are definitely two different things. I agree on some of your points about the writing, like them not explaining the mom's death. That was definitely lazy writing, unless they explain what happened in later episodes. But I didn't feel the pacing was poor at all.

Is this really worthy of 7.7?

I don't get why you're saying the pacing is lazy because it didn't feel lazy at all to me. I thought it was paced very well actually and kept my attention the entire time. Can you provide examples of where it was lazy?

That's what I'm thinking too. He hasn't stuttered once yet, so I'm thinking they changed that part. Synopsis still includes stuttering though. Guess we'll know more next week

So it looks like they made ML not have a stutter and instead he's just mute or shy?

It's a good laundry folding show lol. Something to be on in the background. The production quality is great and acting too, but the plot is extremely slow and boring.

I'm really liking it so far. Finally a drama to look forward to

I'm not seeing anyone claim Netflix is changing kdramas. I'm seeing a lot of people complaining about the decline in quality overall of kdramas this year and drams being westernized, Netflix originals definitely included.

Production quality & acting were really good. Everything else was so strange. Boring drama and felt like the trailer advertised something different

I agree, it's still one of my favorite dramas though. I just feel like the writer got a little lost and tried to complicate the story too much and made it too heavy, when in reality the show would have been perfection if she'd kept it simple and given them a straightforward HEA.

He has a decent amount of screen time as a side character.
