Was ok, first few eps are cute if super tropey but it as per the usual it starts dragging in a nonsensical way. Like the plot really got unnecessarily convoluted. Acting wasn't great, chemistry between the leads would be built up well but the kiss scenes quickly cut off. In the second half there was barely any romantic scenes between the leads, it was more comedic.
The last 5 episodes were a real drain to watch, I was skipping so much just to reach the end. Like none of the character decisions were making sense and it just got so weird. A shame considering the first few eps were pretty funny.
It's an ok drama but not one I would go around recommending. It's both watchable and skipable. Depends what you are in the mood for.
I want to know exactly what cars allow the two males in the drama to be where ever their respective partners are within 2 mins of them being in trouble. Like they hear she's in trouble, could be on the other side of town and show up whilst she's still in the same scene. Writer and director took a loooottt of artistic license in this one.
The writer took every romcom cliche and threw it at this drama and still....surprisingly it was not bad. It's not great by any standards but it was above my expectations (apart from the last 5 eps which dragged forever). The FL isn't just some dumb dumb girl but can actually stand up for herself a bit and fight back. The ML is your typical bossy president lead but this role really fits Luo Zheng's acting so I'm not complaining. They have great chemistry together and the twin thing only was annoying towards the end. 2 cp was cute if a little too violent.
I actually didn't even skip through as much as I thought I would. Cute watch if you are in between dramas and need a light fluffy romcom with a nonsense plot.
Yes, for these things it's almost always their parents or managers who mess things up. So many idols have money issues cause of the people around them. :(
I think cause he has a "pretty boy" image so that's hated on. His acting is hated on though I think he's pretty good considering other idol actors, it was hated on to the point where he said he wouldn't touch a romcom drama ever again (but Mary Stayed Out All night was so good for me!).
There are some real issues with him (tax evasions) which are legitimate reasons for netizens to be angry...but cause he is a "pretty boy/idol actor"....no...
Also if you are going to play the will-they-won't-they game- give the audience more than 5 mins of the couple being together. It's annoying when kdramas pull this + n number of years apart and only give the last 5 mins of the couple together in a ROMANCE drama.
What a waste of a great cast. I hope they two leads can come back for something more substantial. This drama is visually great, but has one of the most tired story lines (a truly dapttaphae friends to lovers plot). The writing was meh, the ost plain (expected better music from something where the characters are in the music industry). The cast was great, but there's only so much you can do with meh-writing.
Everything just felt so....unremarkable, except maybe the cinematography. It's a good thing this was only 4 eps- I was already fast forwarding towards the end because it was becoming too will-they-won't-they.
You know, I watched this when it first came out and at that point I thought it was cute but not that great. Now l when I look back at clips of it on YT it makes me smile so much and feel so good. This was really a great drama! I judged it too harshly when it first came out. JGS and MGY made such a cute couple, I wish they would reunite in another drama. But I think JGS is never going to touch a romance drama anymore :(

This was good but not remarkable for me. I actually really enjoyed the saeguk part of the story line, the comedy and overall plot was good, as was the acting for the most part. I have to say I was so impressed by the three female actors in this drama (FL, Shaman, Ghost). Each one acted so well, I look forward to seeing more of them.
What this drama lacked was good script. Although the writer was good at the comedy, they dragged out parts, had too many filler scenes of nothing happening. I think from 13-15 it was really really boring, esp for something with an interesting crime subplot. Even before that there were too many scenes that were just boring. The script either seemed to forget there was a bad guy out there or in the serious parts just couldn't deliver.
This is a drama I know I will forget because the writing lacked the punch for a plot like this, but it was good to simply pass the time. This could have been better as 12 eps as opposed to 16- I really felt them struggling to fill the time in this the way cdramas do with 32+ eps.
I agree with your comment regarding "Starforce". But sadly Agency like starforce is still non existent in Korea.This…
100% agreed. It's about changing the mindset of this so called fan culture. Basically idols have to be like ef this, like Shin Min Ah and Won Bin. They just forced the fans to accept the relationship, and even though it took a few years now people support them.
Personally after watching so many long winded cdramas, I feel this cdrama is kinder sweet, short & precise. No…
I wonder if ALL writers suffer from lost first-loves because childhood sweethearts is such a big trope. I have zero memory of who I was friends with as a kid and only keep in touch with my closest friends as a teen. The idea of such strong childhood first love is alien to me.

I love her too, she's my new girl crush, esp after My Name. He's ok too but she's definitely on her way to be a really great actress.

Reply 1997 did it better.
