This drama reminded me of Love to hate you. Not a bad one time watch. Ending felt a little underwhelming, especially the business politics side of it. Rating 8/10
After a longtime I watched a drama without fast forwarding even a single scene. Only flaws of this drama was the absence of good OST and the ending. They didn't quite decide what they wanted to do with the ending and it just felt abrupt and random.
With that said, I was entertained from start to finish. Rating 9.5/10
24th drama - The First Frost. Even with minor grievances with the drama, I have rewatched this enough number of times for it to qualify for the list. This drama will always hold a special place in my heart. The OST of this drama again is one of the best.
I understand the mixed comments and feelings on this drama. This drama can be interpreted in many different ways.
- The most simplistic way would to be think of this as a story of a stalker who wins the prize. ML is quite literally the stalker. He is the one with secrets. He can also be seen as creepy. - FL on some level has regrets with respect to her Ex. Some may view her as normal person who had a bad relationship. Others may view her as having residual feelings for Ex. Some may view it is nothing other than a normal arranged marriage wife who has a past. Some may feel angry that she doesn't set boundaries with people and keep letting everyone walkover her husband. All valid views depending on how you feel the story.
If this was a Kdrama, FL and ML would never have married. ML will be 2ML and 2ML is the one true love. ML is the guy who plays house with FL, till she goes back to her one true love. Fortunately this was not a Kdrama and they got married in first episode.
I lost interest near the end. It's a weird choice that drama makers thought that people who were watching this drama till the end, wanted to see 2ML and gave him this much screentime in the last episode. Know your audience people. Make drama for your audience. Give us atleast 10 minutes of domestic couple if people stick around for 28 episodes.
MLs crash out in 21st episode should have been a normal crashout rather than sacrificing for the greater good kind. FL had never once considered the feelings of the ML before involving herself in any of the situations. So the crashout was due and it would have been good.
This is not a drama for first watch but a drama to rewatch. You will feel it's long while watching first time but if you rewatch it once, you will keep rewatching it often. I feel it is one of the best second chance romance genre. This might also be the best kdrama OST album
Decided to increase the rating of Love in the clouds to 9.5 and hence it makes it to my Top dramas list. The main reason for my initial 9 rating was Situ Ling but now I can pretend he doesn't exist during rewatch.
