It was a solid season. The first half was rough, but once it got into the story of Miss Sunshine and her husband, things really took off. It painted a picture of a world in chaos, with people desperately looking for answers. Every time they thought they had one, they were wron. And that ending with reveal and setup, to keep your interest for the next season. I just hope season 3 wraps up the series the right way.
Don’t waste your time on this one. Even the romance is a letdown, with an overuse of slow-mo, the cringiest lines, and some of the worst kisses ever. It’s like every K-drama parody rolled into one. Tropes can be fine if they’re done right, and exaggeration can work too—but this? No substance, no creativity. And honestly, I don’t think it’s just a dated and oversaturation issue, because old K-dramas great still had something that worked. this one really should be forgotten with time
Is there any romance between the leads? I was hoping for a korean gl, but I’ll watch it either way since it looks promising. Just wanted a heads-up so I don’t end up waiting for something that won't happen
It seems like the writers had plenty of interesting concepts but failed to weave them into a cohesive, engaging narrative. After sitting through seven episodes where nothing substantial unfolds. I gave season 1 a free pass because fantasy/sci-fi shows sometimes have a rocky start as they find their footing. But now, I’m afraid we’re just looking at another sweet home
I love the idea of this small spin-off series. If it had dropped right in the middle of no gain no love, I would've been super annoyed and probably skipped through it. But including it as a side story after the ending? That was a great move. More series need to take this approach—give us extra screen time with the characters and chemistry we love in a side story! Elite did something similar after season 3, and those were great. It should definitely be a more common practice. Books do it all the time, so why not series too?
This might have been a passable watch if we were in the middle of a GL drought, but with shows like loyal pin, affair, reverse 4, and deep night 2 currently airing, the flaws in this series stand out even more. The poor quality, low budget, terrible acting, unlikable characters and most frustrating of all the complete lack of an actual storyline make it painfully obvious. The only thing saving it is the Wednesday time slot, where it's the only release of the day, like marvelous dream.
This drama was great overall, but K-dramas really need to stop with these last-minute reunions. Why did we have to wait until the very end for the FL and ML to get back together? There was no real tension because we knew it was coming, so the angst didn’t really hit as hard as they intended. If it weren’t for the second couple, I might’ve fast-forwarded through some parts.
They missed a huge opportunity with the open relationship couple. They could’ve explored so many interesting dynamics. Why did he even have to break up with his other girlfriend? It made no sense! He suddenly gets insecure out of nowhere, and the foster sister broke up with him just because he wavered once. They just brushed over what could’ve been a unique storyline.
Then there’s the ex and his new wife. What happened there? That whole subplot got completely forgotten. He clearly still had feelings for the FL, and the excuse he gave his wife was so cruel. It was just left hanging with no resolution! They could’ve done so much more with that.
You really can't rely on the comments to gauge the quality of dramas anymore. This is a good rom-com, and there's nothing wrong with the FL's acting. The FL and ML have great chemistry, and the second lead romance is super cute. The supporting cast is hilarious, and the evil mother trope isn't that bad. Give the show a chance—it's a funny and enjoyable watch!
Finally got that off my list! I can't even think about rewatching the series again, but I'll definitely come back to rant about it whenever I randomly remember how frustrating it was
With just two episodes left, I'm pretty disappointed. Remember how in GAP, when Sam was getting married, you could actually feel the heartbreak for the characters? This series gives me none of that. The writers haven't given me anything to care about, and I'm getting really cynical.
The plot is terrible, there's zero rewatchability, and the characters haven't shown any growth at all. There are so many flaws I could rant about all day. But I do have to give props to the actresses—they did their best with this garbage script.
I'm wondering if I'm exaggerating. Maybe I'm missing something. Is this series really that bad, or am I tripping?
On another note, I really need to know: was the source material this painful, or did Idol Factory just ruin the adaptation?
They confirmed they slept together? Oh, I think they meant they slept in the same bed together, but that the sex…
Kim reaction when Mali ask bout why she couldn't reach them hinted to something happen and she lied to Wan . Also similar thing happen that night Kim got drunk and made a move on Wan but next morning acting like she didn't remember when she was clearly sober enough to remember. This series is confusing cause none these made sense happening character motivation wise, Why is Kim lying other than dragging the plot .
k drama for 2024
