Just watched this last night. You can tell it had potential, but unfortunately ended up frustratingly directionless. The only thing remotely good thing about it is Moon Woo Jin’s acting.
The Empathetic One: Sees past the surface and reads between the lines as to why a character acts the way they do. This viewer might not agree with the decision of the character, but understands why/how it happens, and enjoys analyzing each interaction
The Literal One: Employs a black and white approach with real-life standards and logic toward the characters. The carefree nature of this drama makes it hard to accept for this viewer, because the characters often make decisions with their hearts and not their brains
The Fun One: Doesn't care who does what, baby! This viewer is solely here to laugh and be entertained by the sheer chaos. And let's not forget about the eye candy ;)
I was in tears laughing at the part in today's episode when Ji Han thought the apartment door alarm was a club strobe light LOL. The expression he made, his "dancing", and the music edited in is comedic perfection. Actually that whole flashback sequence is great.
Another great episode today! It’s refreshing to have characters that are layered and flawed. Their actions might be questionable/morally gray, but that’s okay - because these characters aren’t meant to act the same way as you, me, or a model citizen. All three main leads are selfish in their own ways. They each have their own reasonings and quirks behind their actions, which for me is what makes it fun and interesting to watch.
I live for the unapologetic chaos, shamelessness, and dialogue of this drama. It’s snappy, fun, and makes for an entertaining watch. This is now the highlight of my Mondays and Tuesdays - looking forward to seeing how the story and characters develop in the coming weeks!
The fight/sword choreography is so good in this! Love how we can see the full range of complex movement in the fight scenes, compared to the type of shot where the camera quickly pans away at close angles and we can’t see anything. If anyone knows of other dramas with fight choreography that’s comparable to this one, please comment!
Went in blind for this one and ended up loving everything about it! The story is darker and more thought-provoking than I expected. It touched on some very real-world societal issues and is not your run-of-the-mill rom-com kdrama. It has an indie slice of life feel to it.
The characters are so well-written. I was easily swept into the despair, helplessness, and happiness that each of them felt. Even the side ones had a good backstory for the limited amount of screen time they have. Definitely one of my favorite dramas of 2023. The couple here is now one of my favorites of ALL TIME!
Can we take a moment to appreciate this quality drama that has well-balanced characters, realistic relationship development, and good storyline/pacing/writing/acting/chemistry? Dramas with all of these traits only come by once in a while.
The last thing what we want is a Korean Remake. The Drama is perfect as it is. Don't get me wrong, I am a great…
Agreed. I love the rawness of this drama, and they aren't afraid to tackle difficult topics. In my own experience, I have yet to see any other Asian drama address mental health as well as Someday or One Day. I love my fair share of Korean dramas, but I do feel their style is very polished compared to others. It's so polished that it doesn't feel organic sometimes.

Does anyone have a completed series (preferably with a couple that has good bickering chemistry, hehe) they can recommend so time can pass by faster?!
