Love that Serizawa's friend group was really sweet to Suzuki from the get go. Even the girls were really sweet and kind to him and didn't mind him being shy and needing his alone time or made fun of his interests. I think that was really cute and hopeful that more people will be kind than not.
Suzuki was so slow and thought he was always dreaming but Serizawa was so into him that he did act weird around him. They were really cute.

Not funny enough for me
I guess I was expecting more memorable characters and I was disappointed that it wasn't as clever and as funny as I thought. After having seen countless sitcoms, I can say that there was something lacking. The stories became boring after a while and you need someone to drag you in. There were some funny moments, some heartfelt ones, but not enough to make me care.I didn't particularly liked the FL and the only actor who stood out was Dylan Wang, and I'm surprised to say that I liked him here more than I liked him in Only for Love. He was truly funny and much more handsome.
I would say give it a try, maybe it's more your cup of tea than it was mine.

Another office romance
JBLs like Cherry Magic and Old Fashion Cupcake really set a bar for me with office BLs, so I definitely have some expectations when it comes to them. But I'm happy to say that so far I do really like this series, and I really hope it will continue to be this way.The plot is nothing innovative, but I still enjoyed the first episode quite a lot.
The story follows the main lead, who is hurt by his previous experience with men and his seemingly hetero guy friend. These two look like exact opposites that in theory should never work out, but will they?

Things I liked:
1. Good acting.
2. Some funny moments.
Things I disliked:
1. Some weird timeskips back and forth.

Terrible Acting
I tried to keep watching the series, but at the third episode I stopped and couldn't go on because of the female lead's acting. Her acting is so forced—even though I've seen her in Pursuit of Jade and her acting was good there, here her acting is so fake to an unbearable degree, not to mention that even the tone of her voice is annoying, so I decided to drop the showWas this review helpful to you?
It wasnt that bad
Guys?? It really wasn’t as bad as the rating of the show is (6.8). I even dare to say I liked it more than ABO (dropped that one). Was it stagnant at some parts, and illogical at others? Yes. But still, it wasn’t THAT bad fr. 💀 I liked the main couple the most, and their dynamic was especially interesting.Was this review helpful to you?
All the girls are going loca for Seor In A
somebody said if we cast seorina in a cross dress thriller romcom all the girls will go locawhat can i say... the casting directors did their BIG ONE with this. Seor In A is absolutely the best fit because her face is so androgynous.. and guess what the best part is? her co-star yim si wan ALSO has an androgynous face and they certainly do look alike too. The public yearns for handsome women and beautiful men.
So to talk about the overall vibe of this drama, i love the duality, this drama somehow manages to be funny and scary and mysterious and exciting at the same time so props to everyone. the best part is that their funny scenes are ACTUALLY funny. i cant tell u the amount of times i replayed that ending scene in episode 2 for a good laugh!!!! and the bg song they chose perfectly fits the situation.
as for their acting, ive read the manhwa and the actors are absolutely amazing. they are playing their role flawlessly and bringing out the character into life. speaking about the manhwa, this drama PERFECTLY captures the manhwas vibe!!!! if you read the manhwa i can guarantee that you will enjoy this!!!!
also i feel like we havent had a proper cross dressing drama in so long (the last one i enjoyed was coffee prince) so this makes me really happy and overall its a good, entertaining watch!

food food food done with lots of heart and fun too
I love this series so much! I highly recommend it to everyone, especially those who like Chef Edward Lee and those who love food. I happen to be both - quite clear, eh?What I Liked Very Much:
- Chef Edward Lee, indisputably, is an awesome chef. I watched him in CCW and was mind-blown by the tofu round and how he was so steady and creative. Wow. Just wow! He was just as awesome here!
- Yo Han turned out to be such a (lol) dependable goof. “Did you have a comfortable poo poo?” - he asked Chef Edward and I almost burst out laughing. I liked his “I don’t know how I’d get it done but it’ll get done somehow” approach and attitude. So cute.
- Si A - this foodie! Loved how she savoured her food and dreamt about her next meal. So cute too.
- A Sung - delicate and attentive.
- I liked the showcase of food from the lesser known parts of Korea (at least to me). It was informative and intriguing to learn more and I really wanted to +1 or more of what they were eating. I would have easily piled on the pounds too.
- The guests were awesome too. I learnt so much about the making of the soybeans into the round fermented solid and the haenyeos who dived and worked so hard but didn’t get to eat the seafood that they caught. A lot of what I watch was eye-opening and interesting.
- The food looked awesome too. I really wanted to try what they were having, such as the marinated crabs and everything else.
- Many scenes were touching and funny and heartwarming and cute. 🩷
For me, this series is a 10/10 and just ten episodes is way too short. More of such series please! I’d love to watch the other chefs in action in such a manner too. 💖

I feel like I'm forcing myself to watch this
The story started pretty good and intriguing, but it lost its pace right after, and suddenly there are several time skips in the late 30s episodes, with family members' random deaths, and the main couple's non-emotional consummation, who, for some reason, still have no chemistry with one another. The war scenes were rushed. The small household incidents felt more dramatic and had more screen time than the war in which the ML nearly died. The emperor lacks presence, and the political discussions have no depth either.I really don't understand all these high reviews and ratings. There is nothing jaw-dropping about this drama. Every problem seems to be magically solved, while every character is dumb or useless other than Lanxiang. It's not that Lanxiang outsmarted everyone; it's just that everyone is dumb, clueless, and has no critical thinking. Tiny issues were made extraordinarily big, while the main events barely had any story development. Lanxiang's story writing and plays weren't as grand as they made them seem. There is literally no backbone in any of the Lin family members, who are supposedly the family of ministers and the military general (ML).
I really found myself forced to complete each episode until my patience ran out at episode 39. What do you mean by these two leads, where the FL has shown no romantic interest in the ML, suddenly out of the blue consummates and gets pregnant?? Like hello? Let's build some emotional connection for the FL with the ML first? Two years since their marriage, they didn't sleep in the same bed; the FL still has not uttered a word about her past, which means she still is not ready to open up to the ML, yet on a random day without any character build-up, they end up sleeping with one another?
I know this drama has a poetic way of storytelling; one has to read between the lines, but be for real, the FL still doesnt look happy with the ML and still has this obligated aura around her within the household. I'm simply giving up.
The only thing I liked about this drama is the relationship between Lanxiang's adoptive parents and how much they care for her.

The entire show is a joke
I am on episode 9 and don't think it's going to get any better,the characters are dumb,the jokes are even dumber but the dumbest thing is the amount of unnecessary jokes at serious moments like one second you're mourning the death of someone and the next you are expected to laugh at a silly jokeI only like the detective's character so far,the writers should not have made the main character a nis agent if they were never going to use it in the future could've just made him a fighter or a martial artist,like upto 9 episodes he has done nothing else but confront the villians head on, I mean come on think for a second before acting use your nis training.
And don't even get me started on the prosecutor character, whenever she's on the screen I want to rip the screen off my laptop that's how bad this character is, I am halfway done watching the show and she is still on the villians side and what's with the wierd romantic angle between her and the priest what were the writers even thinking it's anything but funny
In conclusion, the entire show is ragebait.

Lu Xing Cheng Deserved More Love and Fewer Tears
Lu Xing Cheng is such a HUGE green flag! 💚 He doesn't even need to say a word to show how deeply he loves Gu Liu Su. His eyes, his expressions, his body language... literally everything about him screams love for her! If all younger guys were like him, age would never be an issue in dating. 😭❤️This noona romance is overflowing with love in every possible way! It's sooo adorable! Even though there isn't much physical intimacy, the romantic chemistry is absolutely INSANE. Every little glance, every gesture, every moment between them feels so full of affection. I'm completely in love with their love story!
But seriously, Gu Liu Su doesn't deserve him sometimes! 😭 Her character is just too strong and complicated for our soft-hearted, innocent Lu Xing Cheng. He's such a pure soul, and watching him get hurt was genuinely heartbreaking. All he wanted was to love her, and he loved her so sincerely that it made everything even more painful.
The beginning was sooo cute, fluffy, and sweet, and then suddenly they decided to throw us into this devastating emotional roller coaster! Like WHY?! It's already such a short drama, and somehow they managed to make me cry through almost half of it! 💔
Lu Xing Cheng is honestly too precious for all that suffering. And to be honest, I really don't think the story needed such a dramatic and chaotic final arc. The whole enemy and family conflict felt unnecessarily heavy, especially for a mini-drama. There was simply too much drama squeezed into such a short amount of time.
I really wish they had focused more on the beautiful noona romance instead of turning everything into a huge family-centered conflict. Their love story was already strong enough to carry the entire drama without all those extra complications.
Still, despite all the heartbreak and frustration, I absolutely adored their romance. Lu Xing Cheng completely stole my heart, and his love for Gu Liu Su was easily the most beautiful part of this drama. I just wish we had gotten more sweetness and fewer tears! 🥹💕

A beautiful mix of comedy and romance with heartwarming elements.
When the drama and it's cast were announced I was quite excited and had good expectations from it and so far it is living upto it. The chemistry isn't intense but warm and fluffy. Despite the language barrier both share such warm and humorous moments together. The pacing so far is nice and the storyline is interesting. Looking forward to what's next.I have been a big fan of JCW. He is one of those actors who can ace any kind of roles, from heavy action thrillers to light hearted romance comedy. He shines in them all and is doing the same here. Imada Mio is some one who I have grown to admire a lot after watching her previous work. Whether it is her support roles in Doc X or Trillion Game to her lead role in movie "As long as we both shall live". She really does well with her roles and for me is the perfect casting in this drama too.

Searching for reason to keep going....
Dark, sad, depressing. These are the first three words that come to my mind when I think about this series. I don't think there's a single character in this show who is genuinely happy. Everyone is dealing with something, carrying their own pain, and somehow trying to get through life. And honestly, that's what makes this series so difficult to watch at times.What really got to me was how realistically it portrays the darker side of school life and the struggles teachers face when dealing with students who are already going through so much. Bullying, drug circles, loan sharks, and the problems students get trapped in are not just things that happen in dramas. They're real issues, and watching them unfold here makes you realise how much pain people can hide behind their everyday lives.
The love story also hit me in a way I wasn't expecting. It makes you think about how helpless you can feel when you're stuck in a situation you don't know how to escape. Sometimes, you want to change things, you want to help someone, and you want to make everything better, but you simply can't. And that feeling of being unable to do anything, no matter how much you care, is honestly heartbreaking.
The actors did an incredible job. I could genuinely feel the emotions they were trying to convey, and there were moments when I just wanted things to get better for these characters. Not because their problems could magically disappear, but because everyone deserves at least a little happiness after going through so much.
What stayed with me the most was the way every character seemed to be searching for just one ray of hope. It made me realise how little it sometimes takes to keep someone going. When life gets too difficult, you don't always need someone to fix everything for you. Sometimes, you just need one person, one moment, or one reason to believe that things might eventually get better.
I really enjoyed this series, but I won't pretend it's an easy watch. It's emotionally heavy, and there are moments when you feel just as helpless as the characters themselves. This isn't the kind of drama you finish and immediately move on from. It makes you think about people, their struggles, and the things they might be going through without anyone knowing.
If you're looking for something light and comforting, this probably isn't for you. But if you want a series that makes you feel the pain, the helplessness, and the desperate need for hope that its characters experience, then I really think you should give it a watch.
**Sometimes, all a person needs is one little reason to keep going. And this series makes you feel just how important that reason can be.** 🖤
