I'm going to go through withdrawal for the rest of the week because I want to see how Se Hee experiences jealousy and the changing dynamic between our leads omg I need the next episodes >.<

I can't explain in words how much I love this drama. It makes me feel warm inside, it makes me laugh & cry, it makes me think about the social, all-too familiar situations involved. Everything about this drama is so well-made - it's so full of life and realistic sentiments. I love the building blocks of their relationship (need, stability, comfort, understanding, honesty) and how the feelings aspect of their love story is blossoming in reverse. This is such a straightforward story, but the feelings imbued by the main characters are so personal. It somehow manages to turn a "marriage contract" trope into something so realistic and heart-warming.

The last scene of episode 5 made me realize how much I love this drama from the bottom of my heart. The OST is so simple and every single episode (including this latest one) has so much character. Everything - from their everyday conversations, the friendships, the inner monologues to the natural awkward chemistry between the leads - I love it all. The main characters are the only two people for each other. Everything just fits together so naturally, everything is so effortless - their personalities blend together so well. It makes sense, but it is such a bizarre situation. By taking pride in this scenario, the quirky essence of the drama makes it so special and full of life.

My Mondays and Tuesdays are filled with so much happiness because I get to watch this story unfold every week, and I can't wait to see this wonderful drama take us on its special journey.

This drama is such a comic relief and the three female leads are stealing my heart. I love how different they are in terms of personality but they work together so well and they genuinely care about each other. I'm so glad this drama is focusing on their friendship as the main theme of the story, I couldn't be any happier. This is highly needed in dramaland

I love how it's not necessarily a typical contract relationship either. They both clearly like each other and the marriage proposal can come off as a bit sudden yet it is very logical, but like you said we get to see love starting in a different but unique way for them.

I'm in love with this drama. No annoying second leads, the friendship between the girls is so pure and wonderful without anyone being set up against the other, the awkward yet fierce chemistry between the leads just WORKS perfectly, and full of cuteness and laughs. There's no makjang stuff here and it also manages to portray issues in our society (patriarchy, taboo of being single at 30s, the way females get treated at work, even the subtle jab at makjang recycled dramas making more money than simple slice-of-life stories hehe)

Recycled plot and second male lead got more going on for him than the main immature guy. I am sad because I really enjoy Kang So Ra's acting but I have to drop this one because the story is just insufferable to me. I'm tired of this rich-guy-falls-for-poor-girl trope

Also, I need to add that I don't understand why people are hating on Yi Deum for kneeling down to the journalist and begging her to retract the case. The reason why she did that was not JUST because she wanted to be promoted. Our female lead is fully aware of the injustices of society. In fact, she has to deal with workplace misogyny and favoritism over men, as well as borderline getting sexually harassed by her boss all the time. However, she asked the journalist to retract her case because she knows that in this society, the journalist will not win and her boss will be fine. She asked because she didn't want the journalist (or herself, which is understandable, girl is looking out for herself, like all of us should) to lose her job. If anything, the entire scenario is realistic and we as viewers should feel sorry for both of these characters and feel angry at society because as women many of us have to go through these things. It's notable that in the end the journalist ended up retracting her case anyways because she realized what Yi Deum meant (because our female lead only wished well when she kneeled and gave that advice), and we also got to see that even though Yi Deum was realistic, her inner sense of justice prevailed and she testified against her boss anyways, which is very admirable. I really don't understand why people have to hate her character. Yi Deum is such a breath of fresh air in terms of her personality and she has to constantly make hard decisions.

Amen! Someone needed to say this and I totally agree. Everyone needs to cut Yi Deum some slack, and I am completely on board with what she did. Maybe we as a society should be ashamed of the fact that homosexuality is so taboo, rather than blaming the female prosecutor who did everything she could to bring justice in court. People who want to do everything "right" to bring justice in a traditional way fail time and time again, so the measures that she had to take in order to bring the truth into the open is understandable and haters can keep hating. Ma Yi Deum is not a traditional hero and her actions are controversial but necessary.

The ost sounds so good I need it in my life now!!

Something about this one feels very quirky yet homey to me. And Kai's acting is really great in here

I thought it was very satisfying and realistic. It was a happy but short ending, but I liked that it left us to imagine and also provided enough closure <3 Overall, I really enjoyed the drama.

Mak Gae and the Director's Son ♡ I need a season 2 for them lol

After ep. 12 I am scared they won't end up together.... :( because they seem to be destined to bring impact in their different time periods

I really hope someone subs this soon~~~~~~

I really don't understand why that's the case. I really like this drama. I think its dark (with funny elements), sometimes frustrating (but that makes the plot realistic - taking down corruption isn't easy) and full of interesting characters, either fighting for justice or holding on to power, by any means.

Omg same! I love the female lead so much in this drama, like you said she's not a pushover and she's only protecting herself from creeps lol

And I love the guy too, he's super adorable as he's trying to adjust to the present day. I love how smitten he is by the female lead lol

I like that the drama tropes are switched. The female lead gives me a strong and complicated character vibe who is more serious and driven, and doesn't know how to be as warm and gentle to her patients, whereas the male lead is warm and fun and doesn't take things seriously, but still has a serious side to him when he is treating his patients.

Omg I was LIVING when I saw that part. So Ra is not just physically strong, but also driven by justice and won't let people (like her boss) push her around :P Loving her character lol

I need to check it out lol I'm a sucker for OT4s :D

I think we were just guessing that there were dead bodies in the basement. As far as I can tell I didn't see any corpses during the first two episodes. I think there's much bigger at play here, more than the potion. I think they are using the potion to make the townfolk subservient to them. I think they definitely want something very big out of this, like taking over the town and making everyone follow them blindly and making them do inexcusable things like murder, rape, debauchery etcs. in the name of Almighty? I'm not so sure I think it's too early in the plot to tell what they really want.

I have a feeling I'm really going to enjoy the female lead character. And Kim Nam Gil should be DAEEEBAK as usual xD I'm very excited for this. Pls live up to your name tvN
