This is decent but very slow and not a lot happens in this drama. It's not something that should be binged - at most 2-3 eps a day because it will be easy to get bored. I liked the leads but I felt the FL did most of the work in this, whilst the ML served us with his looks (very good looking man). I think this role didn't allow him to express much so it's hard to say whether he needs more work or it's the role. The FL was very cute - but a pretty standard "sunshine FL", so there wasn't much to explore there either. Their kiss scenes were good but only one scene really had chemistry.
They also could have expanded on some of the concepts a bit more and really explored the mental health component to make it more interesting. It seemed a bit like an afterthought than an important plot point.
I did like the second couple and all the desserts in this show looked divine, I wanted to visit SOL myself. But most importantly there's RUIRUI! Omg he's grown up so much since "unforgetable love" and he's still such a cutie.
Overall, It's an easy cute watch with no major dramas, but a bit bland.
This is an ok mid tier short series. Not amazing, low budget, tons of continuity errors and a bland story line. But it's such a quick watch you can still find enjoyment in it. I wouldn't say it's boring, a lot of things happen in succession but rather things move so quickly because of the length of each ep that you can't develop any connection to the characters.
This would have been better if they did less with the time they had and let the audience relate to the actors more. The leads were actually pretty decent although I couldn't feel their chemistry at all I blame that on the pacing more than the actors.
It's an ok watch. You won't miss out by skipping but you won't hate yourself for watching it either.
Ok finished watching and this was a really sweet law drama. There were some really heartfelt cases that made me tear up but it was balanced with a lot of comedy and romance. I did feel like it did go a bit OTT towards the end with all the makjangness that made it not as great as it was in the beginning.
I am also someone who likes watching Lee Seung Gi dramas but for some reason can never feel any heated chemistry with his FLs. It was the same in this BUT their romance is very sweet, and although it didn't make my heart flutter a lot, it still gave some butterflies and more importantly had me smiling a lot. So there's a lot of sweet non-toxic romance in this drama. And both the leads learn to grow with each other which is always a sign of a healthy relationship.
The side characters were adorable, I wanna see the barista in a more romantic role- he's hot. Also Jo Han did a really great job as a villain. I actually enjoyed watching his scenes. He did a great job of almost evoking sympathy from the audience only to completely rip it away with his actions in the next second.
I do think it dragged a bit in parts, and I was skipping a little more towards the end to finish it but overall - cute fluffly romance with great kiss scenes, a lot of hilarity and a generous dose of heart makes this worth the watch.
Ok half way through watching this and can I just say WOW on the episode that explains consent? This is the first time I'm hearing of the concept of "Yes Means Yes" and it just blew my mind that I'm hearing this in a kdrama. Guys we have come so far in dramaland, from forced non-consensual kisses to explaining new concepts of consent.
I mean as guilty pleasure the domineering CEO is fun but in real life it would be a horror story. I'm just so amazed that the show took consent seriously but also presented it in a fun and understandable manner.
Yes!!! SIG in historical attire? SIGN ME UP. But please let it be a good script and story, DAYS was a mess to me and his last one got such terrible reviews I didn't even bother. Please pick a good script with a happy ending In Guk!
OST was a bit of a miss though, they could have chosen much better music than the English pop rock they had. Only memorable OST was the instrumental one.
Really cute well balanced sports and romance drama. I love a clingy ML and Yu Cheng was all that and more. He was so adorable and considerate but still acted like a kid sometimes (because he is still maturing throughout the series). He really managed to both put himself and his dreams as priority as well as love. Like he said "one way to love is to sacrifice but another way is to endure everything together" and with so many noble idiot tropes that often rub me the wrong way I prefer his way of loving.
This is really an adorable romance sports drama with a lot of care given to the shots and direction of the series. Although there is nothing new or different, it stands out because the pacing of the series is really good as well as the acting. They main leads really do act like a couple in love, not afraid of skinships, healthy fights that are resolved usually quickly and constantly rooting for each other.
There were times I felt a little uncomfortable wih Luo Na being his coach and having a relationship. There's a definite power dynamic there that would give me pause in real life, but overall it still manages to be passable in the drama.
Totally worth the watch if you are looking for something sweet with substance.
Really low budget production with a super cheesy script and bad acting from everyone except the FL. She was pretty good, given the low budget. It was one of those...this is so bad but I can't stop watching it short series.
Probably wouldn't recommend but you can try the first 15 mins and see if you get into it.
Very cute, great chemistry and a fleshed out enough plot for a short series. Only complaint is I think the leads didn't have a lot of scenes together in the first half so it was difficult to understand why the ML fell for the FL for no reason. It was like 0 to 100.
Still a good watch if you want quick romance drama.
or they do a time skip , thats my problem with kdramas, time skips,shows that drag out too long, random deaths…
YES! That was such a warm drama that mostly maintained it's pace, was neither super fast nor slow. Timed well. I "didn't feel like omg get the story moving already!" or alternatively "omg what's happening I'm getting whiplash". I thought it just played out right. It was such a warm sunshine show.

Honestly I think writers just don't have enough material to drag for so many episodes so they just add nonsense towards the second half. It's rare to find a drama that stays strong throughout the series. Esp with kdramas because unlike cdramas they are still filming whilst the first half is airing. So they like to make changes depending on the audience ratings and that can really destroy the second half of a series.
Disappointing ending, but overall both seasons were very cute. I really loved the female friendships between Xiao Yu and Bo Ye. The chemistry between the ml and fl was a little weak but not horrible, they had some cute moments together. The plot was interesting and kept you watching, although the special effects/martial arts aren't the strongest in this.
I really liked Bo Ye's character the most out of this series. Love that actress when she plays positive roles.
Overall - I would recommend this as a quick series you can watch whilst waiting for another drama to air.
One of richard li's weaker dramas. I really thought there was nothing villainous about his character so not sure why it's called My Villain husband. The plot is weak and the evil characters (the two princes) illogically and OTT evil, the FL's acting isn't great and at ep 17 it's too nonsensical to continue.
I recommend Seal of Love over this. Another Richard Li short length series with MUCH better story and characters.
