Lee Min Ki did a good job too. I didn't know him before, but he is very charismatic. I just hope he will eat something, because the actor was underweight in the series and looked really sick. I don't know if he had to lose weight for a different role, but it was horrifying.
Enough about the leads. The love story is touching and beautiful. But what I really appreciate about this drama was the message behind it. This was about the question what you do with your life and of course you make mistakes and are clueless, "because this is your first life". Marriage is something that is changing your life completely. Will you marry or not? Is it better to be alone or not? How will the environment react? Will you lose your friends, because you don't fit in anymore when you're not married? Or will you gain completely new friends? What I really appreciated how the mother was so desperate when she heard her daughter would marry. She wanted a different life for her. It was obvious that being married means (for a woman) to give up her dreams. Even though the end wasn't surprising (this is a Korean romance drama after all), I just loved how they showed us so many different ways how people find happiness and love. I really enjoyed the side couples so much. At the very end I was more interested in their story.
As a single woman in my 30s who doesn't plan to marry and have kids, I must say this was extremely enjoyable, smart and in a way comforting.
The acting, the storytelling, the production - it was great.

Understated but in the best way
This show is so understated compared to the other shows at the top of my list but in the best way. It is just pitch-perfect with its wit and chemistry between the characters - the writer gave it a pensive and yearning tone that really hit home and was reinforced by the A+ soundtrack. Bonus points for one of the most romantic first "real" kiss scenes in a k-drama. And so much love for Our Kitty!Was this review helpful to you?
The best series
This is a romantic series that will warm your heart the most. It's awesome in every way. I love Sehee and Jiho the most. They are My Safe Zone.You will fall in love A cute story, beautiful songs throughout. Ji Ho's gentleness and innocence, Se Hee's cold but crazy love. You will feel happiness the entire time you watch it. And when you finish watching it, you'll smile and have a good night's sleep. It really heals your heart.

An extraordinary drama
The drama is good, but I think it is cruel how women ignore the protagonist's selfishness and cruelty ... If it were a man acting like JI-Ho, I'm sure he would be the most hated character in kdrama ...However, I noticed that Ji-ho was always portrayed as selfish, she always did what she wanted, that was explicit in the show. And although she says she loves ML it is clear that it is not a sincere love since she flirted with that stalker boy without hesitation and even flirted with ML's ex wife. (I didn't quite understand it, the protagonist's former wife became explicitly interested sexually in FL and being reciprocal, but there was no reason for that because the show did not explore any of this)
Anyway it's a great show, I really liked being frustrated with the last 2 episodes because it showed the real personality of the protagonist - A brave, independent, stingy and also selfish woman. It is the first drama that I hoped for the protagonist couple not to be together in the end, a pity that they ended up together, I felt sorry for ML who needs to change his personality and his way of being to please a selfish woman who doesn't love him like he loves Is it over there.

Not worth the time
Cute drama with just enough funny scenes to watch but not enough of them to justify the time. Just finished this drama and the second and third couples worked better than the main couple. The cat is a scene stealer but the cat "mewoed" with it's mouth clearly closed. I did not connect with the characters as they did not make me feel anything but boredom. Sometimes it felt like going to the dentist and getting teeth pulled. This drama, while it had some cute moments, made me feel empty and like I had wasted my time watching it.Was this review helpful to you?
Watch this!!
I really, really liked this drama and I’d like everyone to give this drama a go!What I liked:
- both male and female leads
- the supporting cast is great on the whole (other than a few irksome ones, but of course)
- the kissing scenes are wow - so delicious
- the chemistry between the leads
- how cool Lee Min Ki is
What I didn’t like:
- some angst (normal though)
- the supporting actress who just wants to get hitched is, imo, mad and super annoying
Overall, wonderful! I super HEART this show! Watch. Watch. Watch.

Ah, Lee Min Ki. It amazes me how much you creeped me out in the movie Monster yet I was still able to fall for you in this. Seriously, a great actor.
Honestly, its hard to find romcoms like these which is why I loved it so much. Up until the end, there weren't any unnecessary misunderstandings and they didn't let the parents fuck with their lives/relationship. Loved the friendships between the women. The side couples were annoying at times, especially Ho Rang and Won Seok. I really loved the friend Soo Ji though, she is so like me!

definitely worth the recommendation if you want something faster phased story please skip it
I really loved it no dout on that also seriously the last episodes where super hard. Let me bring it i recently watched because it was leaving Netflix in my region and I just completed the beyond your touch. I wanted watch any one previous shows of his become he is so good on both show.I really didn't anticipate the story will be slice of life style drama until the very moment i clicked play but it was so good. The character well developed no one felt left out and the writing is done in a very good manner.
Where did it go wrong the writer plot of the female career i still like did she decided to leave everything that so stupidity. Second after 14 episodes the writing went on to expand one episode into two instead of creating a two episodes worth content.
Other than these two it's so close to be perfect but still i really loved the show talking it value of writers and actors capacity to act.
Finally i definitely recommend if you want something fast pase please skip it. This is a slice of life drama to its core super slow and character driven story.

Feminist Claptrap
This is the 2nd worst k drama I have seen thus far. It was so bad I almost stopped watching it several times but I soldiered on to the end. The main problem lies in its feminist ideology. It proposes that marriage is the death of love and that getting a divorce is the way to true love. As a result, the main love story is nonsensical and unbelievable. I don't know who the original writer/author/etc. is, but I would bet anything that it is a feminist. Feminist tropes permeate throughout making it almost unwatchable.As a result all, and I mean ALL, of the men are shown in a negative light. You will not find a single positive male role in this drama. From socially awkward to emotionally immature to the oh so predictable rapist. Of course all, and I mean ALL, of the women are flawless.
Skip this drama unless you hate men and/or traditional Korean culture.

Assistam essa Joia Rara rapidamente!
Esse drama é realmente encantador e merecia um maior destaque!Demorei a engatar nesse drama. Passei por ele algumas vezes mas não me pareceu interessante no primeiro momento. E sim, estou muito arrependida já que poderia ter visto esta maravilha antes.
Um casamento de fachada. E assim começa essa maravilhosa história sobre amor, mas acima de tudo sobre conflitos e amadurecimentos que passamos em nossa vida e em como uma coisa está totalmente ligada a outra. E tudo é nos mostrado tão sutilmente, com uma naturalidade que impressiona, você se prende desde o primeiro episódio. A série aborda as especiais e pequenas coisas e como elas se somam para construir tudo que podemos aproveitar da vida. Problemas em relacionamentos, problemas financeiros, profissionais e familiares são o que torna tudo mais sincero pois todos passam por isso.
O mais legal desta trama é a sinceridade que traz para todos que estão vendo. É original, divertido e apaixonante. O elenco é maravilhoso, você se encanta por todos os personagens e se identifica com cada um. Todos têm seus defeitos e suas características marcantes, é isso que aproxima a história de todos que estão assistindo.
A história se desenrola dentro de três casais com três visões sobre o casamento e o amor:. Os casais tem profundidade em suas ações, erram, aprendem e se completam ao decorrer da jornada. o primeiro, o casamento sem amor em que ao longo do caminho o sentimento surge; o segundo, o casamento como um ideal de vida, um sonho de realização; e o último, o amor conflitante, em que se imagina que o amor atrapalha seus objetivos de vida.
Podemos dizer que esse Drama trata as diferentes fases da vida em um relacionamento, fases que todos podemos passar ou não, mas que com certeza são possíveis de acontecer. Em todas as situações nos é mostrado a mensagem que é algo em que os dois devem passar e aceitar juntos, que devem aprender um com o outro para assim seguirem na mesma estrada.
Além de tudo isso, ainda trata de tantos outros assuntos como assédio, machismo, valores patriarcais, são tantos ensinamentos que você pode obter neste drama! Tudo isso atrelado a uma trilha sonora maravilhosa!

Está entre os melhores dramas que assisti. O que era para ser mais uma comédia romântica, se tornou uma aula de como se relacionar bem com sua companheira ou seu companheiro. De como podemos estar com um coração duro e gelado devido às nossas convicções e à nossa visão de vida. Abri-lo é uma tarefa bem árdua que muitas vezes só é possível através de um amor verdadeiro, que possa compreender e quebrar esta barreira intransponível.
Os dois atores principais são excelentes e o enredo tem uma dinâmica ótima, sempre nos envolvendo.
E o final, mesmo não sendo surpreendente, foge um pouco do clichê, completando a história como um todo.
