Genuinely so good so far, I'm on ep 6 and I love the pace. I wish the episodes were longer, I wish the season was longer, I wish there was a second season to look forward too. Not even just the way they portray that era, but the tension between the leads is like no other drama, it's so understanding, layered, restrained and all in the best of ways. I usually dislike age gap dramas purely because it feels like its just a cheap way to give fanservice for audiences, but this one is so unique. I really like how layered their feelings are but how it doesn't overwhelm the episode with only angst. Hopefully the end of the drama doesn't feel unresolved, because so far I love it.

Omg I thought of that too but then again its so hard to imagine shangguan being in a loveline lol, his character of being a handsome bum clashes so much with yiting's character

The switcherooing is great though, but I too feel a little on the fence because its just every episode is another misunderstanding. Still, the set up makes each episode pretty entertaining

The 180 of nan heng doing everything to try and kill her to trying to protect her cracks me up but I wonder what happened to the mechanic of the scriptwriters power. Is it not coming into play because the two technically like each other even if in a complicated way?

Also no matter what you think of the leads dynamic, god is the emperor insufferable. Him going as far as taking the incompetence of nan rui onto yimeng was beyond baffling.

I think it's also kind of realistic that she didn't grow after going into the script, it makes sense that z-tiered celeb soaks up the newfound advantages of being rich and well-liked by everyone. overall, it's a fun set up, people who are trying to drag down the fl have little whimsy lol

Couldnt feel the charm in this one ;_; i get that its supposed to be strategic and dark but it just feels wishy washy imo.

I rlly like this drama, it felt similar to eastern fantasy at first but then devolved into its own story and charm. Also there being minimal romance between the elads apart from the script writers forcefulness is really amusing.

Also ik ppl keep saying the fl is dumb- its not that she's dumb but she's moving based on what she knows from the script. But the ml and sml are individuals that are moving separately from what the script says, so she cant possibly calculate what theyre thinking. I rlly like that she's not a mastermind, its much more fun character to follow around. Also also, this is my fave ive seen lyn play so far^^

This looks really coolll, I hope it comes out in 2025 at least,,,

The friendship didn't last???? Idc about realism, they shoulda made up wtf

It's about a high school class election, the nickname is just context about how the school thinks of the main lead at first. It's a school drama that's overdramatic, i just finished it and it was a fun watch, but nothing super special. i think the overall 7.2 rating is true, but its not exactly a 2 or 3 rating like the top reviews imo

I thought that she does though, her maid just does the business work for her. Thats why she has silver early on in the episodes to do what she wants.

He understands the circumstances though. While she symbolizes the passing of his family- she didnt cause it. His abuse towards her in the beginning is still abuse. Which gets glossed over quickly. It was just hard to watch because the romance felt forced after not acknowledging all that much.

Just my opinion after watching 25+ episodes. Maybe its because I don't really like these sort of brooding ML anymore lol

Also i really hope they dont nerf black finger, she's so cool in the webtoon but i highly doubt theyre going to pull off bald, lolita baddie <.<

Im mortified for this to come out. The webtoon is a fave of mine, one of the few I've bothered to read fully and ooof... kdramas dont have a great track record of adapting webtoons tbh

I... don't understand why the drama is trying to make me believe the ML hasn't hurt the FL. Like... he's choked her. Twice. 0 apology, 0 acknowledgement. Just a scene where she says she isnt scared of him.

I really liked the FL tho, her scheming was fun to watch. I just couldn't stand the ML at all.

Im on episode 4 and I don't hate it, is it a cinematic masterpiece? No. Is it predictable? Yeah-- but its not horrible. My favorite part so far is sehun and jihun's friendship that transcends the division of the candidates. And sehun and jeonghui, while some of the purposeful comedy goes over my head, their bickering is the best.

Only think I hate about it is how obvious it is sanghyeon is the bad guy, its kinda annoying how the drama tries make it seem like its not clear as day but wtv. But yeah maybe I dont mind it so far cuz i didnt start the show with high expectations. I kinda saw the mostly rookie/young cast and figured its probably just a quick watch.

the story got so horrible when the ex came in. this could have been a really cute show of just a struggling restaurant grounding itself in an unlikely neighborhood.

cant believe a lot of people didn't like the show. i loved it, smth about it resonated with me a lot. maybe i just watched it at a time i needed to

so far what hit me the most was heewan meeting hongsuk and talking about ramwoo. yes the scenes between ramwoo and heewan are sad but when heewan speaks with hongsuk we see how raw the pain of a loved one leaving is. hongsuk even as a friend spent just as many years mourning ramwoo as heewan did. i kept tearing upppp. i wonder if theyll show heewan and taekyung reuniting though.

im so surprised the front 2 reviews are so negative. i remember loving the drama when it came out. i still thnk it one of the best dramas phs has been in
