Yes I really liked that the King and Prince got along and trusted each other too!

Very cute drama, with enough interesting cases to keep you engaged but nothing is heavy and doesn't drag on forever. They did have a lot of lucky breaks so the writing for the detective part of the drama is not very strong. However in terms of romance this drama is really worth watching (although the FL is a good actress she felt quite stiff but that may also have been her character- would have to watch more of her to know). The ML was so supportive and non-toxic yet still had a lot of charm and charisma, definitely want to see him in more roles!

Also the fight scenes in this were so well choreographed! I would like to see a full action movie with the team that created them!

If you are looking for something solid but not heavy with a good enough story then definitely watch this!

Very cute drama, the FL acting was great, the ML could have emoted better with his eyes. I liked the friendship between the girls as well it wasn't just one sided geared towards the FL. Overall cute fluffiness to watch. I would love to watch more rom coms with the FL she's super cute.

I tried to enjoy this drama and whilst the ML does a great job of portraying his character as a narcissistic-but-still-soft-inside type, the FL is SO BLAND. She has zero expressions in any scene. If you feel any emotions it's either because of the music or other actors. She just seems to be so unmotivated in this drama, they could replace her with a plank of wood. Dropped.

Very cute, it does have a really interesting story line and I found the main couple to have chemistry (they just kiss a bit weird). Previous to this drama I think I dropped 3 c-dramas in a row cause of pointless plot/bad acting/too many cliches so the fact this drama kept me watching till the end, shows it's worth the watch.
The side couple I really loved were Jiang and Tao instead of wei lei and sui an. I found wei lei and sui an to be wayy too angsty. They played out the mental illness/childhood trauma angle quite well and i could understand why every time the FL would have an episode. I definitely liked the FL more than the ML in this series, I found him to be irritating in certain scenes but the FL was quite cute. I think the last few eps dragged a bit but that's always the case with these 20+ eps dramas.

Overall definitely recommend if you are looking for something that is fluffy but not completely brainless either.

This comment is amazing!

It’s a job not slavery so no one deserves to be treated like that. Your comment seems to be justifying that its ok for him to treat them with such disrespect simply because they may be his manager/PA.

Everyone deserves to b be treated with basic human dignity and we should certainly not be defending those who don’t by “well that’s their job!”. It’s in no ones job description to be treated like dirt.

Likewise. I also don’t put much stock in what talent agencies have to say because they are after protecting their interests (ie money). The fact that he just is running away to MS as (apparently ) a social worker after basic training is so gross.

I hope with all these bullying scandals SK lawmakers start taking this stuff seriously.

Honestly I think this will never see it's day in court even though I really really think it should to get maximum justice for the victims. I just feel like there will be too much burden on the victims and going through all the victim shaming on MDL alone (lets not even get into actual blind fans) could be enough to make them think a long and expensive legal battle with very low chances of winning is not worth it.

I'm also not sure what the laws in SK are about minor on minor crimes in the past. It seems (with my extremely limited knowledge of law) a very difficult case to even bring to court never mind fight it. Even with ample evidence and witness testimonies assault cases can barely make it to court because of how ashamed/traumatized the victim feels, never mind then a case like this one. If they do however, I fully support them and hope they get the justice they deserve but I just don't see it playing out like that.

Yup, thats why sometimes if the rating is high they will extend the show from 16 to 20 eps to prolong the viewership.

Yoo Ah In is such a great actor, will watch for him alone.

Hmm- I like this in my younger days but I do hope they change the ML to be less toxic in the remake.

It's like do you even learn anything when watching these shows? Everyone applauds characters that fight injustice, but when in real people speak up about injustice people pile up against them just cause the evil guy is....handsome? WTF?

The fact that he is enlisting now makes this whole thing look even worse for him. So gross.

The comments on his IG make me lose all faith in humanity. Why people put idols on a pedestal I will never know. Yes I get it, s/he is your bias but that doesn't make then infallible. Acting that way about another human you absolutely DO NOT know in person actually puts more pressure on them, and thus makes for a very toxic setting.

I used to love Park Shi Hoo but after his rape allegations came out, and evaluating the information it really made me simply remove him from my favs. It's not that hard to do, these people don't need/deserve blind loyalty. They just play some characters on screen- they aren't noble prize scientists saving the planet.

I feel bad for everyone else involved in the show. I don't think this was a drama I would have picked up but I know from previous stories that this can have a serious blow back (e.g Faith where iirc the producer committed suicide because he got too in debt due to production costs). I feel like Ji Soo and his agency should compensate at least the crew member because they are often to most underpaid.

And if he is running off to MS to hide from this scandal then I have to say the only way he won't look cowardly is if he actually hold himself accountable to everyone he has hurt in his past and the crew of this show. Otherwise he simply running away.

Honestly I don't think cancel culture really exists in the way people think it does.
it's like you said- it's quite temporary (although yes that may feel like a lifetime to the person being "cancelled"). I think people confuse cancel culture with actual crimes committed and think its unfair. What people fail to understand is if there is actually a crime committed then any non- celeb would usually face legal punishment, but if it is a person in the public eye - then some how it turns into "cancel culture"?. It's not about cancelling someone, esp in this context- it's about the victims seeking some VERY minor form of acknowledgment. I really don't like how in this specific case he is being protected as the victim by so many people (just read his ig comments :vomitt:) where as there are allegedly very real victims (I use allegedly even though his apology and the outpouring of comments seem to all but confirm his crimes).

I think the MS for him, and other k-idols who often go off into MS when a scandal hits normally helps them set a stage for comebacks. So no- I don't think he is being cancelled, and no I don't think this is a witch hunt for him, I do think he is super troubled and he doesn't really seem to have understood the consequences for his actions. I think holding people accountable for such reprehensible acts actually is more beneficial for them than crying about "oppoaarrr sarahangeeee!!1! Fighting!!11!! <3" . If you never are held accountable for the hurt you cause, why would you ever stop to self reflect and grow?

This comment reeks of victim shaming and a very poor understanding of how trauma works. Also read up on how easy it is in SK to sue/get jail time for defamation even if what you are saying is TRUE. So stop with the victim shaming/ it's in all in the past nonsense. It's not in the past for the victims, it's part of their daily lives that they have to live with FOREVER.

Thank you for this esp no 3. Why is it so easy for people to say "forgive him cause he was a kid" but "why didn't the CHILDREN he victimized do anything back then" in the same breath. Sick of this as a defense. And sick of people saying "they only coming after him now for the money"- Learn a little bit more about SK laws and you will understand it is much easier for him and his company to sue the victims speaking out rather then them being able to gain anything from this. Not to mention these companies have the resources and power to do more damage to the victim than the individual victim to them.

Seriously I'm sick of reading these people crying how unfair people are being to their Oppa for SERIOUS CRIMES he should have really been thrown in to jail for.

So its totally ok he was a kid and this is all "past actions" but that his victims were ALSO kids at the time, probably had no idea what they could do/were too traumatized at the time and may have even brought it up to teachers/parents but were ignored? And that these kids felt so horrible and ashamed because of what Ji Soo did in "his past" that they have to deal with these scars for life but hey it's ok because he is an idol now and surely he is no longer like that cause it's
"in the past".

You're awfully forgiving of the things he did "in the past" without understanding that trauma can take years to undo, if it can even be undone and just as he was "a kid" so were each one of those victims. And they, more than anyone else deserve the most compassion in this horrible situation.
