I found this a little boring, first few eps are interesting, the way the cases were written and solved were really interesting, but then the palace drama really takes over the detective stuff and it gets really boring. I can handle some palace drama but there was just too much of it in this series. I just stopped caring and the last 10 eps were really dragging so I ended up skipping from ep 26 and went straight to the end.
I think the ML and supporting cast were all great, but the FL didn't bring Chuchu to life for me. She seemed so dead all throughout the show, even her crying scenes were emotionless. It's a pity because on paper she was written really well.
I lowkey agree too, but I guess his character would have really become super wretched.
Yeah he did, esp considering how good he was and then he was just manipulated by the girl he loved towards the end, which the ML even called her out on.
It's ok - it's got wayyyyy too many plot lines going on at the same time so not even the main story is really focused on, which means the leads barely have time to build any chemistry. It gets really messy in the second half, dragged down by all the usual c-drama tropes and the only way to finish it was to FF.
Not sure why the writer had a separate storyline for almost every character introduced, maybe to fill up the eps? Would have been better with less character and more focus on the main leads cause they were really fun together. Also the FL and her bff had such a nice platonic relationship!
Meh, but can be watched because the main leads are still unique (a shame cause every thing else was not).
Wow, nothing about this makes sense. The acting, the script, the editing. It's all over the place and so illogical. I was hoping to really like this given such high praise in the comments but I can't even go beyond ep 5.
I stopped mid-season hoping to come back and binge it, but here I am feeling reluctant to do so. The main attraction…
Agreed - the clinical aspect behind the drama, esp the therapy they showed towards the end made me think....this isn't how anything works. But at least, AT LEAST the drama took sexual harassment and assault seriously. Considering how c-dramas love to use it (esp r*pe of a secondary character) as a plot device with zero thought, I appreciated the fact that they showed real PTSD this can have on people.
I kinda felt cheated with how limited the kiss scenes were in this drama after the FL gets over her trauma. It was just pecks on the cheek despite the fact that C-dramas are known to have great kiss scenes and both the main leads have done so in previous dramas.... Did they hate each other in real life or did the writer hate writing kiss scenes???
Ok this isn't as bad as the reviews/comments are making it out to be. Yes it should have been shorter because even the director/editors seemed to have lost interest by ep 34. However! that being said, I really enjoyed the chemistry between the main leads. HYT really knows how to do a puppy-dog-completely-simping over the FL look. The shooting aspect was fun too, but wish there weren't quite sooo many competition scene (but it is a sport romance drama after all). The friendships between the team mates were cute.
Side couple was cute at first then got toxic really fast, but the friendship between second ML and main FL was really cute, and I liked how they developed that. You don't see that often in dramas.
This is obviously not the best drama out there, but it's worth watching for the romance that despite being developed early actually sustains throughout the series. Definitely could have done with only 30 eps though. Just don't try to binge it in one weekend, pace it out and it's ok.
I didn't love it but I didn't hate it, it was watchable but throughout the whole drama I just kept feeling "this could be so so much better". It has all the right ingredients but perhaps the director was just lost. The first half of the drama dragggs and then when the leads do finally get together it focuses way too much on the business side. There was no tension, no urgency, and line deliveries were so detached.
- Script was fine, actors were fine but there was zero tension between anyone. Everything was so blase, even when things went wrong at work in the first half there was zero sense of urgency. - The main leads have chemistry but the director didn't use it to their advantage so we are just felt not understanding why the ML falls for the FL. -She's supposed to be the "devil boss"- but is actually super nice and understanding from the get go? They don't ever show her to be overbearing or scary as a boss in anyway (she just tells him to do his job). -I can't at all understand why the FL's character launches a dating app when she isn't even interested in dating. And it's not like the market isn't already flooded with a million? - The epilogues were so pointless to me, I skipped every single one. Could have used that time to focus on the romcom aspect. -They had such a great introductory concept with the idea of him teaching her how to love, but it was not used at all in the way it normally is. Making the whole thing pointless.
It's just a blah drama. Watch in-between nothing else but it will bore you a lot. Which is a pity cause the ML is great in this.
This was so cute. For some reason I could never finish the korean version, I always felt like the FL overacted wayy too much in that one. But this was just right and cute. I think the way the japanese dramas are shot really fit in with the sometimes OTT-ness of this series.
They need to hire a team of well paid subbers. All their dramas suffer from google translate subs, unless vikii or some other platform picks it up and subs it.
Hmm, I dropped this at ep 10. Really nothing much happens and part of the problem is I think the leads get together very early on. There's no real tension, and the chemistry is lukewarm between the two. There's also no sense of urgency at any point so you are a bit meh about what's happening to the characters because they are meh about it too.
I will say I loved the line where the FL said something like "Do you think I'm the kind of girl who would put a man before money!" - lol real talk!
It will get better, then it will get kind of worse, then it will get better again towards the end. :) Haha. Sorry,…
Omg that was so much more detailed then what I expected! Thank you so much for the reply <3!
Also now I'm glad I dropped it, I don't think I would have been impressed with the rest of the drama as much as I was in the first half if that's what happens. Esp after everything they put the cousin through she just gets some second thought half baked redemption arc. Ugh writers, do a better job!
Seriously though, I appreciate the reply ! Thank you!
This was so much better than I expected. I actually enjoyed this quite a bit, even though the last few eps were a bit dragged and the last ep rushed as per the usual dramaland standards. It's still such a cute and funny drama.
First of, I love the two siblings, they are so adorable together. And for the first time I wished I had a big brother as adorable as that. Secondly the main couple were so cute together. Honestly the ML played his role of a completely innocent man so well, I would roll laughing when he would ask some questions and get even more confused! The only complaint is, the kisses were a bit wooden. I think either the leads aren't comfortable kissing or have no idea how to act it out. BUT apart from that their chemistry was good and its very fluffy.
A very soft and kind male lead with a cute and smart female lead. So worth the watch and really a hidden gem that should be talked about more!
