The comedy is gone. The fluffiness is gone. This season feels more like a melodrama than a rom‑com, as it dives into serious adult relationship struggles.
Right from the start, we have to accept the breakup with the first season’s ML (now the 2ML). Watching the first few episodes, I honestly felt like the love cell - there was no love, just a relationship that started without my approval. I was also disappointed (or maybe envious?) that the FL moved on from her breakup in just a few days.
I was almost ready to give this drama a “watchable but boring” (4) score - especially after episodes 7 and 8 (seriously, the whole An Dae Yeong plot felt like a waste of time).
Surprisingly, the drama got much more serious after that, and I actually liked it. I appreciated the complexity of emotions and the difficult decisions. On one hand, the writers made a bold move tackling such heavy topics, and it felt very realistic. On the other, some of the FL’s choices may be hard to understand for less experienced viewers - and they carry so much weight that it no longer feels like a rom‑com.
Still, I’ll probably watch season 3 when it’s out.
P.S. Greetings to everyone who banned their prime cell 😉
The first half of the drama feels like a mobile game commercial, which might appeal to people who enjoy that type…
1. If you can’t give your girlfriend a pentakill, you’re not worthy - just leave and don’t embarrass yourself 😉 2. If you’re too afraid she’ll reject you, drive her far out of town before apologising (like the ML did). She’ll be more worried about how to get home than about saying no 😉
The first half of the drama feels like a mobile game commercial, which might appeal to people who enjoy that type of game mixed with a bit of romance. The pacing was fine, and the culmination (the final match) was the moment I enjoyed the most.
The second half, however, felt completely different. It slowed down and focused mainly on the ML’s hard work and the main couple’s steady relationship. Some viewers may enjoy that, but I found it dragging and boring.
To be honest, I think the whole plot could’ve easily been packed into a movie or even summarized in a few sentences.

Another very solid Chinese drama. At first I watched it for the humor and action, then the story hooked me. I also really enjoyed the romance (although there’s not a lot of it). Yes, the ML is overpowered and the FL seems a bit naive and childish, but they always have each other’s back.

From Now On, Showtime! - The General's ghost is said to be 2000 years old. So the past presented in episodes 10, 11, 12 must be happening in the ancient times (and we can see a town there).
This drama was decent up until episode 11. From the start of the retrospection arc in episode 11, it began to drag significantly - or maybe it just felt overly predictable (possibly because I’ve seen too many dramas with similar themes).
It might be a good option if you're simply looking to pass the time. There are definitely some enjoyable moments in the first half, but I’d recommend keeping your expectations low for the second.
The story was engaging enough to keep me awake, but ultimately left me unsatisfied - I wanted to know more about what happened to some of the supporting characters. It’s an okay movie to pass the time, but ultimately pretty forgettable.
The lead couple’s plot and Jennifer’s mysterious past were engaging and well written. I fast-forwarded through most of Yoo Chan’s (ML’s brother’s) storyline, as I found it predictable and dull. Overall, it was a solid drama, and I enjoyed it.
The first half was solid, but the second half dragged. The romance was supposed to be important, but sometimes it felt like a minor side plot. The ending wasn’t satisfying for me - but to be honest, by then I didn’t care much anymore.
I enjoyed it. All four characters were likable and had their own challenges, and some of the stories were genuinely moving. The romance aspect was also handled fairly well.
