This shouldn’t have been just 12 episodes—it really needed 16 or even 20. That would’ve given us more time with the characters. They could’ve slowed things down with the second couple, gone deeper into the ex-wife drama, and given the leads more room to grow. Plus, the cases deserved more screen time. Honestly, this show had some of the most interesting cases I’ve seen in a legal drama. They might have looked simple on the surface, but they were actually complex and engaging. With more screen time, it would’ve been even more entertaining. Still, it was an enjoyable and pleasant watch.
If we’re looking at it from the ML’s perspective, the ex-wife used to be his safe space where they could communicate openly. But when the pregnancy termination happened, she said it in a way that left no room for input. From her side, she felt that after she didn’t communicate about the pregnancy, he became avoidant about the issue. But she never pressed him, never explained why, never tried to bridge the gap. That was the drifting point — and since he didn’t have a more expressive reaction, they grew apart. Basically, she closed the door on the issue, and then blamed him for not fighting hard enough to open it.
At the same time, she ended up being disingenuous. She was the one holding back information, yet acted like the guilt was on him. And honestly they way she communicates things to the ml, I can't see her so-called guilt.
She had every right to make her decision, but the way she followed it up was just selfish move after selfish move. I can’t sympathize with her character at all.
Side note: the ex-wife’s husband is a whole piece of work. Like, what’s his actual problem with the ML? He’s got the girl, he’s expecting a child with her, the ML isn’t even meeting up with his wife anymore. So why does he go out of his way to tell the ML about the move before the two co-parents could even have a proper discussion? Is he jealous or something?
I'm here wondering the same damn thing. They're all fine, but once they hear that their child: likes the same…
Exactly one-month illness max, as soon as their child gives in, they just bounces back like nothing happened. They can be on their deathbed one minute and full of energy the next. More characters need to call their bluff.

It's just ridiculous to me that in k-dramas, gl, and c-dramas, chairperson and CEOs collapse over a simple conversation with their kid. How the hell are you running a company if you can't handle a little stress?
This is honestly one of the best gl out right now, they did such a good job with the leads . Every episode I’m shipping Loft and Pure, then second lead syndrome hits and I start rooting for Air. Not sure if it’s because of my love for Neko or my love for tortured characters. All I know is I’m ready for heartbreak no matter who Pure ends up choosing. Hopefully they don’t villainize Air or Loft later just to make the decision easier, because right now I can really sympathize with everyone… except Lamp.
This was a fun GL I can definitely see myself rewatching it. I liked how Rin and Khem managed to get on my nerves week after week, and how Rin slowly softened up with each episode. I loved Khem’s energy and the way she delivered those savage remarks with a straight face. It was never about some grand plot, deep romance, nuanced lesson, or cinematic masterpiece (the directing, BGM, and editing were off )—it was just the vibes. 7/10 for me .
I really like how this show handled the arranged marriage trope. It’s light, simple, and just fun to watch. Most of the time, these kinds of dramas have the leads acting cold and distant, slowly warming up while feeling like will they won't they roommates, with most of time spent on hiding from others than anything else. This one moved way faster, but still had that push and pull and a bit of angst without dragging things out. Focusing more on moving on from an ex. It never promised a deep plot or slow burn, so I don’t get why people expected more. Honestly, we need more shows like this—it’s refreshing. But yeah, I get it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
This is incredible I'm loving it! This is exactly why I watch K-dramas. I love Seong a so much girl has been through so much and still puts on a brave face, holding back all those tears. Same with Gyeon U still has such a caring side even after what his family and that shaman put him through Like, where did this come from?
Is anyone watching this? Is it good, bad, or just okay? Kinda weird that even small-budget projects like I Am Devil and Unlucky Love have active viewers but this nothing .

I’m obsessed with this drama, I’ve already rewatched it about four times It’s so good, and hardly anyone seems to be talking about it. All the other japanese gl shows are getting a season 2, and I really hope this one does too, even though it ended beautifull
