There’s so much packed into a single episode that the emotional impact doesn’t fully land. It still feels incomplete—this would have worked much better with at least 14 episodes.
So the FL finally realizes something she probably should’ve figured out around Episode 7 or 8… and we’re already at Episode 10. That delay alone screams poor writing. The realization itself wasn’t bad — it just came way too late to feel impactful.
What’s more frustrating is how they completely lost the original healing track of the drama — which was supposed to be the core theme. Instead of properly developing that emotional recovery arc, they randomly switched to an unnecessary angst plot, as if drama automatically equals depth. It felt forced, out of place, and honestly pointless.
At this point, the only characters consistently doing their job are the nephew and the uncle. They’re the only ones delivering stable performances and emotional authenticity. Meanwhile, the main storyline seems confused about what it even wants to be.
Such wasted potential. The foundation was there, but the execution? Completely lost the plot.

Honestly, over the past 2–3 years, I feel like rom-com stories in K-dramas have been gradually losing their charm. A lot of them start with an interesting premise, but then fall back on repetitive tropes, predictable misunderstandings, and forced chemistry. The freshness and emotional depth that older rom-coms used to deliver just doesn’t hit the same anymore.
That being said, I can absolutely vouch for Korean thriller dramas. That’s where they truly shine. The storytelling is usually tight, well-paced, and carefully structured. The narrative flow feels intentional, with each episode building tension naturally. The thrill, the suspense, the unexpected twists — they genuinely give you chills. The emotional intensity feels real, and the stakes are consistently high. When it comes to thrillers, K-dramas still know exactly how to keep viewers hooked from start to finish.
Well, that was another addition to the ‘why did I watch this?’ collection. I’m convinced C-dramas are a better choice — and I say that as someone who already watches more C-dramas than K-dramas. At least they know how to keep things entertaining. This one? It tested my patience more than my Wi-Fi buffering.
