Ah, yes. The legalities of their marriage are a bit tricky. Technically, Meri and Woojoo are still husband and…
Well legally it was and still her husband was silenced by defamation While he was trying to expose scammers In court he can prove she was living with other man while still married to him...
Believing anything happening in south Korea can effect world is overstatement
Woman' can't live without depending on man, that was the main reason of there for e romance They can't show independent strong woman, without a man that will hurt man ego...
I see what you're saying, and I agree that portraying the stigma in its raw form is necessary to challenge it.…
Yup Even at then end he emotionally blackmail her into loving him.. because if she doesn't he might die so... Instead of love it feel like emotional damage
Maybe the “love” wasn’t the typical K-drama romance kind —but it was there, in the little moments. Maybe…
Yes, I can also see and respect your point of view about that flawed kind of love, and I get the story’s intention — showing love and affection in that awkward, quiet way both characters were trying to express.
But honestly, the execution failed miserably for me because of the very poor acting from the male lead — and later, the female lead also joined him in his bad-acting club. The whole revenge plot ended up being carried by that old, dying man. I just couldn’t see any logic in marrying the bodyguard, and everything from episodes 3 to 10 felt like filler with weak performances.
That old man’s acting — as a father who lost his young daughter — was the only thing that truly moved me. His pain and anger felt real, and even with limited screen time, he made me sympathize with him far more than the leads. His performance actually made it harder for me to believe in the supposed love story, since the ML’s expressions and eyes never conveyed anything genuine.
Well then, I absolutely detest and dislike this kind of drama. I feel terrible about shows that try to glorify men by reducing a woman’s worth. No strong or genuine man needs to lower a woman’s dignity just to feel good about himself. A true man with real self-esteem is someone who doesn’t feel small when his wife earns more or holds more power—and still doesn’t need her to bow down to him to feel valued.
Maybe the “love” wasn’t the typical K-drama romance kind —but it was there, in the little moments. Maybe…
Well, why though? Because honestly, this same guy was doubting her from the very beginning. He wasn’t some quiet protector or hidden romantic — he was literally investigating her like she was a criminal. The moment he saw that news report about her, his reaction wasn’t empathy or curiosity, it was pure judgment. He called her a gold digger, a bad woman, basically dismissed her character completely without even knowing the truth. And later, when he finally did learn what really happened, he didn’t take any meaningful step to make things right or even show that he regretted how he treated her.
I honestly found his actions more pathetic than romantic. The idea that he wanted to go to jail — willingly — for her, despite having a son who already lost his mother, just made no sense emotionally or logically. That poor child had already been abandoned once, and now his father was ready to do the same, all for a woman he barely had a real emotional connection with? That’s not love; that’s self-punishment disguised as devotion.
Dong Min didn’t come across as someone offering love or strength. He looked more like a person trying to feel useful by sacrificing himself unnecessarily. Instead of being her support, he became her weakness — and that’s the kind of love that drags both people down, not lifts them up. It wasn’t noble; it was foolish. And to make things worse, the actor’s portrayal just didn’t help at all. If the story was trying to show deep, unspoken love, then the performance completely missed that mark. His face was blank, his tone flat, and his expressions said nothing. The words in the script said one thing, but his acting said the complete opposite. It honestly looked like he hated the female lead most of the time — his eyes were cold, his reactions mechanical, and there was zero chemistry.
It’s like they wanted us to believe he loved her just because Tae Min said he did, not because anything on screen actually showed it. The whole “falling in love” part felt unnatural — he never courted her, never confessed, never even showed small gestures that felt genuine. And suddenly, the female lead, who was introduced as a strong, cold, emotionally guarded bodyguard, just falls for him like it’s nothing. It felt completely out of character. She was supposed to be a woman with walls built high, and yet she melts without effort or reason — like buying a pizza, just quick and convenient.
Honestly, the writing and acting combination ruined what could’ve been a complex emotional arc. If this was meant to be “love,” then it was one of the most confusing portrayals of it. Because what I saw wasn’t love — it was guilt, confusion, and misplaced attachment. The male lead looked like he was forcing emotions that weren’t there, and the direction didn’t help make sense of his inner world.
If anything, Tae Min’s love for Hye Ji came off as far more real, layered, and believable. You could see his emotions in his eyes, feel the sincerity in his actions. There was warmth, longing, and pain that actually connected with the viewer. Compared to that, Dong Min’s so-called “love” looked robotic and directionless.
In the end, maybe the story wanted to show different kinds of love, but for me, Dong Min’s version wasn’t love — it was obsession mixed with guilt. A man trying to find purpose in someone else’s suffering, instead of healing his own. That’s not beautiful; that’s tragic in the wrong way.
Well if you watch first two episodes Then rest of of it degreaded beyond logic it was not like Chairman of a company doesn't have any employee except a lawyer, Drama tried so hard to tell you money can buy everything but it can't buy butlers and driver's true loyalty which belongs to, Our super villian, In which World collage professor can order police commissioner and prosecutor Professor has enough money to have her own gang, while chairman can only hire a female bodygard and a lawyer himself.
