I love Park Min Young but I have been concerned about her health in the last few months of 2025 - she looked very anorexic in photoshoots. Its hard to fathom what caused her to go down that route when she is so lovely. Few people wear clothing as well as she does and many of her past looks in different shows have been breathtaking beautiful.

Anyways, I will think positive thoughts and any show she is in always merits attention. She might be considering a return to romance because Confidence Queen and the salon reality show she did in the fall did not do that well in ratings. But a lot of that has to do with distribution - a show really has to be on one of the big 3 Korean networks and NetFlix (1st choice) or Disney+ (distant 2nd also ran choice) in order to generate high ratings and buzz.

Park Shin Hye has demonstrated great versatility over her acting career. One of the few actresses who can actually do real action scenes and does not have to fake it, but equally capable with melodrama or comedy.

As others have stated I have a hard time picturing her as a 20 yr old but I have no doubt this will be a funtastic series.

She was in The Judge From Hell (Fall 2024) after Doctor Slump (filmed in 2023 released Jan 2024. Did you miss TJFH? It was fantastic.

Agreed. She has not done a major kdrama since RBB. Being married to one of Korea's most famous actors, living life on a farm and being a mother seemed to be her priorities. Has done a lot of modeling shoots but no acting up to this series.

My absolute must watch of February.

UEEE really rocked in Iron Girls. But she is simply not at all "sexy" in her persona and as a lead in a romcom she is just not a suitable choice. I think she is a capable actress and very suitable for other roles but not romance where she is the focal point.

Count me in! Fantastic cast. How does Lee Na Young look so good - she is 46! She must have a deal with a higher deity of some sort...

Really stoked for this one. A terrific cast of lead women and what appears to be a very interesting storyline.

The show is supposed to be on ENA and Genie. I think that is potentially going to impact show viewership as ENA has only one past show Extraordinary Attorney Woo that managed to break out into double digits. Typically their shows dwell in the 0.5% to 2% range although a few shows in 2025 managed to exceed 3% average viewership.

I hope a major streaming service picks up the show. If NetFlix had rights it would be a big boost but I don't think they do.

no idea who he is so should i care? I think everyone beyond the primary leads is likely pretty secondary to the this show. Its a Park Shin Hye drama with a well known male co-starring and the rest really don't matter for this one. Its not an ensemble piece like say Our Blues or Twelve.

It does not have a romance tag in the genres list so I think there is likely no romance. I would not be against it but it appears this is a comedy and the previews seem to be consistent in that context

This is ok for teens and young 20s but if your an adult you will want to give this show a hard pass. It is nowhere near as good as the current score -realistically the show is about a 6.5-6.8. That is just boosting by fangirls.

I understand you completely. I too was puzzled by a number of matters to the end of Episode 3. I understood Song Ha Gyeong anger at the sale of the house being torpedoed in of itself but not really the root of her frustration and antagonism towards Baek Do Ha.

But Episode 4 clarifies everything. All the connections are explained, the root of the anger, and more. I am not posting a full explanation as it would spoil for many. But I can if you really want it.

She is as much a movie actress as kdrama actress but I hope we see her in more kdramas going forward.

It is not clear yet. We don't even know if her other friends are aware that Do Ha was communicating to Ha Gyeong or perhaps by now they have simply set it aside. We also have not seen any interaction between Do Ha and Ha Gyeong's actual friends to my best recollection. Perhaps that gets covered in future episodes.

Absolutely.

Once you view Ep 4 you will understand everything. The male lead in his Do Ha character did something really awful, and she has guilt about what transpired which is also explained.

The showrunners wanted to string things out but from reading the comments it is clear that instead it has confused much of the audience and directed a lot of anger towards the female lead. But once one understands the full backstory everything is clear about why the female lead is upset and unhappy with Do Ha.

At the end of Ep 4 the story finally takes the turn for what should be the better in terms of their attitude and relationship to each other, and ties into the title.

The initial storyline is confusing but it is all laid out by the end of episode 4. I can post an explanation if you want me to reply again this weekend.

Actually the show revolves around the persona acted by Choi Sung Eon and Lee Jae Wook is initially the antagonist. That is the storyline. The plot is about a woman trying to move on in life, and a past romance throwing a monkey wrench into those plans.

I agree. As usual the comment section is being swamped by fangirls of the lead actor. Choi Sung Eon is fantastic. And Lee Jae Wook is fine. The writing for his character has him portraying a rather arrogant person at the outset, and it seems many writing negatively of Sung Eon don't understand what he did to her, which was completely despicable - both in the past and the monkey wrench he threw into the sale of the house. Where I reside one actions would have landed him in jail and the other would not have been legally allowed.

The direction and writing have Song Ha Gyeong angry and frustrated in the 4 initial episodes, and upon understanding what has transpired it is understandable and relatable. She is doing a great job in the role.

Really loved by I and some friends who viewed it. Some already rewatching.

This is a series for adults over 30. Teens and young 20s are not likely going to enjoy it as it deals with a lot of mature subjects such as medical PTSD, gender discrimination and other issues.

It is very funny but with many sad moments. The supporting cast were excellent, both the secondary leads and Ha Neuls family who were very funny. Happy endings.
