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 .
So, every week I find myself in this endless cycle of hope and frustration with this drama. Episode 9 was another letdown, though at least they confirmed that Kim and Wan did sleep together. Kim knows that Wan loves her, and Kim is clear about her feelings for Wan. Wan also knows that Kim loves her. So, why is Kim marrying Marwin? Why can't they just have a real relationship?
Surely Wan isn't that clueless. Does it really need a time capsule letter for her to fight for Kim? The writer's goal seems to be creating the most angsty storyline ever, but all us viewers are feeling is frustration. The plot isn't progressing—it's just stagnating.
But hey, they did succeed in keeping us tortured viewers watching this trashy series week after week, hoping they wouldn't waste our time.
Don’t listen to the negative comments; the drama was solid with a good story. I was entertained throughout all 16 episodes. All the subplots worked for me, though I'm a bit iffy about the second male lead. You won’t waste your time watching it, and I loved how the last two episodes wrapped things up. Some might complain about it being too draggy, but not me. It provided a level of closure that most K-dramas these days don’t offer.
most frustrating series ever, each episode just feel like struggle. And they going to push a Marwin and Kim weeding for Wan to finally step up and confessed. Time to officially drop
