Just completed and overall - I would say this is a good rom-com drama. I mostly enjoyed both the lead characters and the support cast was really good. Good chemistry with the whole team. Well done.
I really appreciated the high emphasis on consent in this drama - it is a rarity in kdrama - so, kudos to writers and directors for this.
I see a lot of bashing on the ML character for not being more 'domineering' or 'dominant' - as an introvert - I totally related to this character and thought the ML did a fantastic job. This character, from the beginning - is a shy, guilt-ridden, introvert (has been since they first met) - I was actually annoyed at many points by the FL character constantly pushing him to express himself (to only kneecap him when he finally does). As an introvert - she exhausted me much of time and I found him to be a saint and a portrait in patience. Her emotional rollercoaster of a ride would have killed most shy/introverts. She was either raging, crying, or drunk - while just spewing every thought that came into her head and never letting him respond. We were constantly reminded of her trauma with her father to the point of annoyance (yes, we get it, your dad died unjustly and you can't get over it), while she failed to barely recognize his family trauma/guilt, almost to the point of dismissal - so, I found their relationship very out-of-balance a lot of the time.
That being said- when they did come together, their chemistry was very good.
Overall - a good watch and would recommend

Overall a good romance - I liked that there was not extended separation tropes and that issues were quickly addressed when outsiders tried to split them up. ML was fantastic in this, FL - not so much.
I found the way they wrote this character very odd - like, why are the only pictures she has on her desk, in her apartment and in her room at her parents - all just of her and non one else - its just weird. Didn't like that she always jumped to the wrong conclusion, then reacts badly - only to find she is wrong and has to apologize - it just annoying that this behavior never changes throughout the whole drama. Then there was the constant trope (not just for the FL) of the clumsy girl who keeps tripping and falling - within the first 5 episodes she has sprained/twisted her ankle three times tripping or falling of her high heels (another female character does this multiple time as well)
I appreciated that the fact they they actually kissed and interacted with each other like normal adults - as opposed to how couples are normally portrayed - the horrible, stiff body, lips touch, but they dont move, girl looks terrified thing that normally happens.
I also appreciated that gave her a normal adult voice and not the horrible, talk like a baby voice
I look forward to seeing this ML in more romantic dramas - he is has got a great smoldering gaze to him that is fantastic.
Could have cared less about the 2nd and 3rd romance stories - didn’t really feel like they added much to the drama
Could have cared less about all the office drama
Overall, a good light romantic drama to watch .

Just started this and hoping it gets better - but my god is the FL already annoying. Why do they insist on portraying female characters like - so stupid, never stops talking and that annoying baby voice - gah! And while she has lost her six senses - why she has no common sense or how to behave around anyone - is just absurd.

Not as good as Eternal Love, but not as bad as Ashes of Love

Just finished and just going to say “meh’ - not horrible, but not great either. Hated the set design and styling of this one and those horrible bangs on the ML - yuck! Liked the FL - too may side-stories to care about. Story itself its too bad - just didn’t feel it was executed all that great.

Overall, I found this mostly enjoyable. If they could have just focused on the main leads story and not all the other side-stories - it would have been better. Could have done without the first story arc - it was just stupid. Once you get into the second arc - it gets better. Could have TOTALLY done without the Lord Emperor/Niece story - was just so ridiculous - the sad little , pouting puppy following the guy around - this character was just pointless. Ending was dragged out and then their coming back together too short. More Mark Chao in long hair please!

Cannot emphasize enough how poorly written this is. I like most of the actors that are in it - but this is just poorly written and executed. It’s like they took every bad kdrama trope for a rom/com murder mystery and put them all together to make this.
And, seriously can we get the ML pants that fit!

Yeah, seriously, no chemistry.. and its not so much the age thing as they are both adults, its the maturity level - its like having a teenager maturity (FL) and a adult (ML) dating - it just doesn’t work

I came here for Satoh (and I will finish it because of him)- but seriously, the FL - I just cant. The mousey young girl who falls for an older guy because he basically smiled at her and patted her on the head - decides to then go into a profession - not because she wants to help people, but because she wants to ‘get close to the guy’ - and then she is just dumb, not even very good at the job, totally unprofessional, apologizes every five minutes, is an insecure child and never shuts up! I just do not understand in any-way-shape or form what the attraction is here
On the flip side - I also dont get her attraction to him either - he is not very nice to her, calls her an idiot most of the time and looks like he is just annoyed with her throughout most of the show. And most of the time the are together - she looks likes she is just terrified and ready to jump out of her skin - again, how is this an appealing relationship or story

Anyone have a good place to watch his stuff - so much of it isn’t available anywhere

I am not getting all the hate for this drama - I thought it was superbly done, paced well and all the actors did a really good job. The only character I could have done without was the assistant - but the rest of the characters were done very well. I do hope they do a season 2, but not holding my breath.

Seriously, she is the worst - the over-obsession with getting her daughter married is just annoying and beyond ridiculous

Seriously one of the most annoying FL characters - sticking her nose into everything, cant make up her mind, can’t be honest about how she feels, is kind of stupid most of the time, overly responsible for other peoples lives - dont really get the appeal of this character. ML - stiff acting, not much depth here. Found the other F4 members more appealing.

Oh, its not a complaint about this particular character or actress - it is a general statement about women who speak with a baby voice - and yes, you can do something about it. - its called vocal training. This isn’t culturally specific - women all over the world do this. GIrls are taught at an early age that this is somehow attractive and how women should speak - so that’s what they train themselves to do. - so it can definitely be unlearned. She clearly can speak in a normal voice as she does it when she switches bodies..
And I would be just as annoyed by women who speak 8 octaves higher than normal (I just dont watch JDramas)

Just started and not sure I can take the pouty, ‘baby’ voice of the FL for 36 episodes - seriously, can we stop with making grown-ass women talk like children

Good story and ML was fantastic, as well as the Dad. It’s super-slow, so be prepared. A little tired of the girl from the poor family that they like to dress poorly/frumpily and the bad haircut

Good story, like both the leads, thought the music really helped to set the mood. Editing was a bit choppy - which is the only thing that made it kind of weird, but overall, a good watch.

Just adding my two stents about how on point this review was - bravo!

I think I have lost a few brain cells watching this drama - seriously, one of the dumbest ones I have see.

Just finished and would just say - this is super-cute and I LOVE that they centered a drama around woman with autism . Beyond that, there isn’t that much to it and I certainly wouldn’t call it a ‘masterpiece’ - its enjoyable, but, beyond the main character, not that memorable. The cases/trials get repetitive and I found myself ff through most of them in the end. I will echo many of the other comments that I wish more time had been spent on her relationship with the ML and the challenges for both a person with autism and the person who likes them - this was a waisted opportunity.

I also wanted to know more about why Seon Young hates Si Moo so much - what’s the story here.
Side characters were pretty lovely - especially Lawyer Jung.
