To me the plot itself wasn't really anything special, but the shots were BEAUTIFUL. Beautiful composition, beautiful colour grading, beautiful set design. You could pause at pretty much any scene and it would look pretty. You can tell the crew worked hard on it. I'd like to see this style in another drama because I feel like the plot and the progression of their relationship wasn't strong enough for it so it brought down the drama as a whole :( Also the ML definitely could've acted better.... He was good in some scenes but idk there was something missing. I feel like they relied on romantic lines to show his love instead of him actually showing that love through his expressions. 

The characters monologued their thoughts a lot in a sort of theatrical way which was a bit confusing at first (since it was hard to tell if they were actually saying that out loud or just thinking it/imagining a situation) but I got used to it a couple episodes in and ended up appreciating it more. I don't think I'll rewatch this but it was a nice short drama to watch especially when you want to see some cute scenes without getting too emotionally involved and obsessed lol

Been wanting to watch this for ages! I’ve only seen one episode so far so I can’t say much butttt the chemistry between the leads isn’t that good…. actually it’s non-existent ? And I’m not a fan of the way the FL was more upset about “deceiving” others (giving off the vibe of a neat person while actually being messy) instead of the fact that her male colleagues were inappropriately approaching her based on their own assumptions about her character and making comments about how much of a good wife she’d be. Ew. It just felt like the writer coming up with ways to blame her for the way men treat her.

I’ll probably keep watching because I like the malewife story but idk if I’ll finish it :(
