This had such potential - both the lead actors are pretty good, storyline wasn't bad - but they mucked it up with weird editing which made it kind of bumpy in the first story arc and completely off the rails with the weird last scene that you have to come here to sort out. I generally like the actress who played the FL - but , not so much in this drama. It took about 3/4 of the way through before you could really empathize/like her. She spends most of the drama looking worn out and beaten down - there was just something not appealing this character. I found almost all the side characters - aids/friends, whatever you want to call them completely annoying - like, seriously, stop talking and stop rushing in to say/do stuff (especially her butterfly friend) Wish they had spent more time at the end with them reuniting and less on everyone else's happy ending.
Except for the rushed ending (due to a production issue) - this was quite well done. The chemistry between the three law firm characters was fantastic. Pave was good, working was pretty good and the main leads were fantastic. Totally worth the watch - would love to see more - but not holding my breath

Well that was almost a complete waist of 40 episodes - could have easily been half that, added more relationship development between leads, cutout the stupid second/third/fourth romance storylines,, shorten the business drama (it was just dumb), and then this might have been ok. And waaayy too much time spent on the dad - the man was just an asshole and we didn't need 4 episodes of trying to redeem him - much less a romantic storyline.
The FL mother in the first half of this series, is seriously deranged and given waaaay too much screen time. Best friend is kind if a nut and don't really get why she is so suspicious of everyone and everything all the time. Between these two people - I would be sooo emotionally exhausted all the time that I would have the energy to start up and run a design firm. 2nd ML mother in second half is also off the rails. Leads have good chemistry. Good, healthy, MATURE relationship - I really like how playful they are with each other - even in the small ways, like playing with each others fingers when holding hands and talking with each other - it was quite endearing.. Business stories dragged out too much. Overall not a bad watch if you ff through mom stuff and secondary love story.
This is one of those dramas that is so bad that its actually kind of fun to watch - luckily its short. The story/plotline is ridiculously stupid, the acting is bad (by pretty much everyone) and the production value is poor. I mean come on - the very premise - a woman falls in love with this guy after she is kdnapped by (what I assume is a drug cartel) - its not real clear how long she is there, but he helps her escape and disappears for 5 years and she can't forget him - this is not love, this is called Stockholm syndrome. The whole thing goes down hill from there and is just ridiculous on so many levels.
Can someone please give that girl a better haircut and learn how to dress - why do they always style female characters like this - the frumpy schoolgirl look - the mom jeans, the big, sloppy sweatshirts, the bad haircut - why do they do this?!?! It's just awful. She is supposed to be this amazing gamer and the first woman in the sport and they make her so bland - like, melt into the background, bland. She is so boring and it makes it very hard to understand why this ML is attracted to her beyond just being good at the game - she has no real other personality, is completely insecure, immature, and spends all her time staring at her phone and being overly concerned about what other people think. Not to mention the deer-in-the headlights look on her face for most of the series.
This is so wrong and cringey from the get-go. Let's start with the premise that a 30yr old man gets into a relationship with a 19yr old young woman - just, no, should have stopped there. Add in that that young woman acts like and has the emotional maturity of a 13-15yr old (not to mention even dresses like one, pink everywhere and the stuffed animals - my god!)- more no. Add in the young woman meeting this adult male at an Internet cafe one night, decides she is 'in-love' and then start to stalk him - no and more no - its actually quit disturbing that someone wrote this thinking it was cute or her being persistent - its just wrong! Add in -due to what is supposed to be comedic relief - they have to fake they are dating - he is VERY clear he is not interested (not to mention he has been very clear on several other occasions he is not interested), its fake and its up to her to decide when to end so as to not to upset her family - but she goes and acts like it is real and they are soul mates. Gets drunk one night, makes a fool of herself, breaks up with him and then acts like the world has come to an end - ummm, no! Then lets talk about anytime they are together, the complete awkwardness, uncomfortableness she displays - again, because she has the emotional maturity of a 15yr old! His constant referral to her as a kid of 'his kid' - this is just wrong. This matchup is just wrong on so many levels - I can't even keep up and they make me cringe whenever they are together. And then there is the rest of the drama that is just trash - those young boys in the club house - I want to punch each and every one of them.
yeah this is one hot mess - tried to be a version Korean show Hyde, Jekyll and me and failed miserably. Bad acting, bad writing - just bad - only saving grace its its short
It’s interesting to read the comments and reviews talking about what a masterpiece this is - I am on episode 11 and am struggling to care about most of these characters - I’ll stick it out a bit longer - but, man this is dragging
This started out strong and then just started to fall apart mid-way through. Had a slight rebound around episode 9 - but then lost it again in the end. I found the Kim Go Eun character the most annoying - just kept getting herself played, over and over and over and just never learned . I would have thought someone who grew up poor and with her parents, she would have more streets smarts - but, nope. I found her to be least compelling character in the whole drama - mostly because she was a single note character for most of the drama. Second sister followed closely behind. And that last episode was just a hot mess. Final note - can we get Wi Ha Joon to lead in a Romantic Drama (not a rom-com - but a drama) - he really was the highlight in this
Just finished and would say this is just OK - not bad, but not very good either. It would be interesting to do this story over with a more mature FL character. I dont mind the physical age difference - but the maturity level difference was just too much. While her age is 22, she acts and behaves like an immature, spoiled 15yr old and that was bothersome. Agree with many of the commenters that friends story lines were boring and added nothing (except drama plots) to the overall story and family through much of them.
I agree. Everything is unnatural in this drama. exhausting. Don't forget to mention that they became overnight…
in all fairness -this is a cdrama, not a kdrama, so not sure how much 'choice' they have in their roles - but, yes, it would be nice if they could make better choices, more importantly, wish the directors/writers/producers would make better choices in how they portray women
agreed - she can even do a deep voice - that scene where she gets caught in the rain and puts the bucket on her head - is fantastic - this is another example of how the 'baby' voice is an affect. And its more a commentary on the directors/writers/producers - who tell her to speak this way out of some weird ideology that that is 'cute'
She was seriously one of the most annoying FL’s. Besides the ditzy play - she manipulated the bajesus out of everything. I agree that I dont see how he would fall for her at all - she was ridiculous. And, yep, that annoying ‘baby’ voice - it was a bit much and over the top in this. And she can clearly talk normally (as she does in multiple places) - so its extra annoying to know she is doing it on purpose.
