Not Every drama is worth the rating
As someone who hasn’t read the webtoon, I actually found the drama fresh and interesting. I’m not arguing whether the FL is a psychopath or sociopath because there's no rule that every main character needs to be empathetic. The actress truly delivered an amazing performance. What disappointed me the most was how the director altered the story. Since the drama is meant for a general audience, the FL shouldn’t get a “free pass” just because she’s the main character. The ending felt overly biased and honestly quite weak.The webtoon’s conclusion seems far more logical, and the drama was rushed to the point where the FL’s character lost its depth. That’s why I ended up giving it a 6.

Brilliant Plot, Breathtaking Tension
The drama stayed true to its plot from beginning to end, and it was absolutely breathtaking to watch. The characters were well-crafted, and even as someone who watches a lot of thriller K-dramas, I struggled to figure out who the killer was. I genuinely couldn’t guess the culprit until the very end. The writer did an impressive job overall, but I still rated it an 8.5 because the killer’s motive felt a bit weak. The reason behind the murders didn’t seem strong enough, and I believe the writer could have developed a more compelling justification for it.Was this review helpful to you?
Not Every Drama is Romantic but helps you to understand what is LOVE better
This drama felt less like a simple series and more like a beautiful storyteller weaving emotions, values, and life lessons into every frame. From the very beginning, the director and writer proved their vision was not only clear but deeply impactful, creating something that resonated with millions of viewers around the world. It was not just entertainment, it was an experience that touched the heart and made me reflect on love, emotions, and the essence of life itself.One of the most striking aspects of this drama was how every single episode carried meaning. There were no fillers, no unnecessary detours just a consistent delivery of messages that stayed with the audience long after the credits rolled. Each episode contributed something unique, whether it was a touching emotional moment, a powerful moral lesson, or a reminder of the beauty of human connection. This ability to make viewers feel and think at the same time is what truly set the drama apart.
However, as much as I adored the series, I couldn’t bring myself to give it a perfect 10 out of 10 rating, and that was largely because of the ending. The finale, though not entirely disappointing, felt slightly rushed and incomplete. It left me wishing the drama had been given more space to breathe perhaps an extension beyond just 12 episodes would have allowed the story to conclude more naturally and meaningfully. A longer run might have tied up the loose ends and provided the closure that the characters and the audience truly deserved.
Despite this minor shortcoming, the drama remains a remarkable piece of work. It succeeded in teaching valuable lessons about love, life, and emotions, and it left a lasting impression on me. Very few dramas manage to balance storytelling, emotional depth, and moral lessons so effectively, and this one did it beautifully. It may not have been flawless, but it was still a journey worth taking a drama that will remain in my memory for a long time.

A Refreshing Plot with Missed Potential
I honestly can’t rate this drama either high or low. The storyline was definitely unique, but the split personality angle and the tragic backstory didn’t really blend into the core of the plot. After episode 7, it felt like they ran out of solid material to sustain the drama any further. Still, I’d say it was a good and refreshing watch overall.Was this review helpful to you?
Life is all about fruits and flowers ❤️
Not everyone may share the same perspective I do, which is why I choose to rate this drama an 9.5. It is not the kind of show designed to please a universal audience. Instead, it belongs to the slice-of-life genre—subtle, realistic, and emotionally grounded. It does not rely on sensational twists, exaggerated romance, or dramatic clichés. Rather, it captures life as it is: imperfect, uncertain, and yet beautifully hopeful.One of the strongest elements of this drama lies in the portrayal of the male lead. Although his father is a CEO, the narrative does not present him as someone who has achieved everything effortlessly. Instead of glamorizing inherited privilege, the drama explores his internal struggles, failures, and emotional growth. It emphasizes that comfort and opportunity alone do not guarantee fulfillment or success—human development still demands resilience, self-reflection, and hard work.
Equally inspiring is the female lead. In many dramas, love becomes a distraction that overshadows personal ambition, but here, her character stands as a refreshing contrast. She holds tightly onto her dreams, refusing to abandon her aspirations for the sake of romance. Her journey reminds viewers that love does not always have to mean sacrifice; sometimes it coexists with independence, ambition, and self-respect.
At its core, this drama portrays a timeless truth: life may knock us down repeatedly, yet brighter days do arrive. Through its characters and storytelling, it presents a compelling message of perseverance—that even after numerous setbacks, success and happiness are possible.
Admittedly, some viewers might find the drama slow or uninteresting, especially those who are unfamiliar with themes like business, trade, or economic struggle. But as a business student, I connected deeply with every aspect of it. The narrative resonated with my academic interests, my beliefs about ambition, and my understanding of how progress works in real life—not instantly, but gradually, through trial and persistence.
In the end, this drama might not be entertaining for everyone, but for those who appreciate realism, emotional maturity, and character-driven storytelling, it is an unforgettable experience. For me, it was not just a drama—it was a reminder that growth is possible, love doesn’t require self-abandonment, and after every fall, life eventually opens the door to something better.

No So Ordinary Neighbors
The drama was genuinely heartwarming and never tried too hard to appear relevant; instead, it focused on the organic bonding between neighbors, which was truly chef’s kiss. The storyline was simple yet perfectly executed, and the actors delivered strong, convincing performances throughout. I still don’t understand why the drama received such a low rating, as every episode felt like it passed in just twenty minutes. The comedy was well-structured and naturally integrated into the narrative, never feeling forced or out of place.I rated the drama an 8.5 out of 10 primarily because Sullivan’s revenge arc lacked coherence and felt scattered. It wasn't really relevant to become an issue this big. I think the character needed a more depth for taking this kind of big revenge. Apart from this it was really enjoying.

Don't Fall for the Rating
This drama lacks so many things. Ending every single episode with a killing scene does not create suspense—it just becomes predictable and lazy. I literally fell for the ratings and started watching it. I even forced myself to reach the last episode, thinking it might finally get interesting. But in one word? MID.You won’t feel any urge to continue the episodes. And trust me, I usually binge law-related dramas in one sitting—but holy smokes, this one took me four days, endless skipping, and 2x speed just to finish. That alone says everything.

K-Drama Hype vs. Reality: A Mid-Level Watch
Here’s my two cents on this drama. It’s still ongoing, but wow, I had no idea how K Industries’ PR works. So many new accounts appeared just to give 10/10 ratings right after the release—some even created their MDL accounts on Jan 17 or 18. Whatever it is, the drama itself isn’t anything extraordinary. The FL tries hard to channel Kang Bitna, but her acting is just… mid and it feels like a torture to see her overacting. The other cast is good, but sometimes it feels like they forgot how to act.I definitely wouldn't recommend spending time on this. The trailer was good, and I thought it could be another quality romcom, but for me, the main issue is the overacting. It felt like they were trying too hard to be funny and silly, which prevented it from feeling natural.
Also, as a foreigner, it was cringe to see how the main character orders everyone around on the English team-telling them what to eat, how to train, and how to approach each game. I thought that is what managers are for. He is portrayed as a "superman" among the rest of the mediocre and not-very-smart players.
I realize this comment might be unpopular since I'm not doing the show any favors, but I hope I can save someone time by suggesting they skip it if they are looking for a quality show.
