This drama is really cute if you can get through the first two episodes about the cringey virtual stuff. I love office romances and characters who are kind of cold and total losers, like the male lead, and Inguk was so on point (and he looks SO GOOD!). Although at first I found Jisoo's acting a little strange (the first scenes look more like a beauty commercial than a series), as the episodes went by, I felt that her character gained enough depth for me to empathize with her. It's a bit of a silly drama with aspects I don't particularly like, but it managed to be better than recent productions that promised deep plots and wonderful performances.
I agree with this,I do not get why exactly they did not film a proper into/outro instead of gen AI. The casting…
You get what I mean! Everything seems really low quality and rushed: the editing, the intro/outro, the script. In regards to the characters, I think it would be way more interesting to see the dynamic between two successful people over 30 (or even 40) who don't want kids but are forced to take care of one, just like in the original version. If they wanted to go with the idea of young, college-fresh characters, they should at least have chosen compelling actors (I swear I'm not a hater, I'm just mourning the lost potential)
A great idea with terrible execution, it doesn't even seem like a drama from a major tv channel like TvN. The casting was a terrible choice, and the use of AI really puts me off. The child is cute, so why not feature him in the intro and outro? It's really a bummer, I was very exited for it
But how is he going to act tho? He still thinks she's married. Also, I don't think he needs to do much. He just…
"he needs to act ASAP," it's just a way of saying that I want the character to do something that will move the narrative forward. That's how dramas work and how a story progresses. And from the preview of the next episode, that's literally what he's going to do.
When I say I like SL, it's not like I seriously want him to take the protagonist's place. I'm just swayed by how attractive he is and the way he acts with the FL. I believe that's the creators' intention as well, and I'm going with the flow of the story. (Although I can't really follow the narrative with SFL, her character building really bothers me).
I dislike SFL so much that it's hard to root for her to get together with SML. At first, I assumed he didn't have any feelings for DaRim, and I even thought it was better that way since I like it when the two supporting characters develop their own relationship independently of the protagonists. However, there's so little chemistry between him and HaYeong (I hate her for real) that I was happy to learn he indeed has feelings for DaRim. I think I might even have a bit of second lead syndrome now... JiHyeok needs to act ASAP.
I felt that the events and resolutions weren't really interesting enough and well developed to make it a memorable drama with a believable story. Everything felt very artificial. Half the time it seemed like they (the production) were doing something just because they had to. However, everything was bearable because of Bae Na Ra's scenes... I'm quite fond of this guy and would love to see him leading a (good) rom-com someday.
To think Ji Hyeok was about to go down on Da Rim without even showering first after a whole day out and a little dive, my boy is down BAD. He has my full respect now
I'm all for novelty but I've noticed that recent dramas try so hard to change certain formulas that they end up being boring. NOT THE CASE HERE. I watched the first episode and I think we finally have the rom-com of this season! Just hope the next episodes are as interesting as this one.
I'm already loving Da Rim, she's a beautiful and strong character who isn't a unbearable immature brat. Not sure I love Ji Hyeok but I certainly found his antics funny, and I really enjoy it when they make the male character kinda silly.
What a wonderful, lighthearted drama! I watched it all in one go and can say it's one of my favorites this year. Sosuke and Hana are such endearing and genuine characters that I couldn't help but feel affection and empathy for them.
I really liked the direction and production in general, a very simple, high-quality drama. I just wish they had kept the usual number of episodes for Japanese dramas (10) so we could see more of their relationship and the development of other characters. Also, what was that last scene with Kentaro Sakaguchi and Song Joong Ki? It seemed unnecessary for the plot, unless they're teasing a possible season with new characters.
Inwoo originally isn't as white as other korean actors. If you watch cleaning up you can see his natural skin…
I kinda prefer the laidback, tanned look on him. What shocked me a little was Han Ji Eun's face. The last time I saw her in a drama was in When the Stars Gossip, where the beauty filter was so strong that it distracted me from the narrative
Maybe it's just me, but I really like all three characters, I loooooove how stubborn they all are. Surprisingly, I also like the slight love triangle, even though I'm not a fan of that trope.
P.S. It's funny when korean stars act in Japanese productions and you finally get to see their natural skin instead of the beauty -filtered version that Korean productions show.
I'll always love crossdressing stories because in them the main characters always start out as friends and then develop feelings, I'm a sucker for that
I decided to give this drama a chance even though I didn't think it's my kind of thing. The first episode is really good, the children are cute and their performances are convincing, the whole dynamic makes a lot of sense. I can't say the same for the second part when they become teenagers. I found Ju Won's character extremely pedantic and childish and Sanha a bit annoying with his poker face (also my mind couldn't accept the 34-year-old actor playing a teenager). I like Hae jun tho, I think the character is better built than the others and I found myself much more interested in his storyline in the few episodes I watched. I'll try to watch the other episodes calmly, but I'm not very hopeful since I'm already getting really pissed off by Sanha's mother and it looks like she will not change any time soon.
