The Softest Drama Of 2022

My real rating was actually 8.5 - 9.0/10 but because i got so attached to the drama, I'm bumping this up to 10/10.
It's a light drama that didn't take itself as a plot heavy drama but still brought up the important points that celebs have to struggle with day in and day out, be it stress or no privacy or overwork.
The director did a great job overall with the scenes and the cinematography in all kinds of scenes and the screenwriter deserves an award for how many times they put a smile on my face after a horrible day.

Plot - The plot was completely focused on the behind the scenes of the entertainment industry and the struggles of the actors. It didn't drag out plot points unnecessarily but focused more on the emotional aspect of it all.
The main character's relationship itself progressed quite well from fighting like they're 5 to acting like they've been married for 50 years. It was a soft, sweet and candy romance with a strong foundation and a lot of communication.
Not to mention the comedy was done quite well and after a stressful day? it was bliss.
The other couples were a double? triple? quadruple? treat because of how many there were and how cute they were. You'll definitely end up rooting for them.

Characters - Each of the characters brought something new to the table and got their deserved screen time. Everyone was given enough screen time that watching them get their ending made me feel very mushy inside.

Music - It was all great. 5 OSTs and all of them have a place in my playlists and my heart.

Bottomline is that this drama is not the most well written plot heavy drama or one with a couple you will never be able to get over but this drama is definitely the warm hug you need after a bad day and it being aired on a friday was just a cherry on top.

Great Actors! Great Quality! Amazing plotline!

This was my first cdrama after a long while and safe to say - it didn't disappoint.

The actors did great. The chemistry was the kind that i am absolutely in love with. It's the not the one that makes you weak at your knees and nor is it non existent. Its the perfect soft, intimate kind of chemistry where they look at each other and you can just see how much they love each other.
The wuxia part of the drama is not that relevant tbh, the scenes are not the best but also above average. The plot focuses mostly on political aspect and slowly building the romance on the way.
The pacing had some issues around ep 35+ but honestly? understandable because you can only fit so much in 40 eps. Everything makes sense though so thats of no matter.
(The wedding scenes made me so giddy, thats how much their interactions mean to me.)

The strength of the ML and FL is equal and the writers did a good job showcasing that. You save me - I save you, You protect me-I protect you is nice change from the common, "You are my wife, I will protect you - ok."

The music was amazing, every singer and composition fits the theme extremely well.

Overall - It is definitely worth a try and try to watch till ep 7, I promise you won't be able to stop.

Absolutely amazing, totally worth it.

Plot - the plot is written with some very tiny loopholes but its interesting enough to keep you engrossed into the drama. Starting from the post covid era to a sudden outbreak that could not be contained within the building, they make a lot of parallels with covid and this virus. Even though both are different in many ways, human survival instincts acts up in both cases.

Characters - you could see how humane they were. (except for the occasional psychos.) but yes, no matter how annoying you found they residents, each and every one of them were humans who got desperate and went crazy when the situation turn to kill or die.
We had characters of all sorts living with all sorts of people. The infected themselves being made to feel human and giving them time to regain their humanity to the point that by the end we were left with infected people who could control their thrist very well.

Main Characters - Both of them. I love Them. Where Sae beom hestitated, Yi Hyun backed her up and vice-versa. No lovey dovey in the middle of crisis like bloodbath and theyre kissing, no. They kept their cool, they found ways out.
I also love how Yi Hyun gets infected at the end and we see him struggling, how even though he could control himself, he let himself bite the villain AND threw up the blood right after.

A Scene I Will Forever Remember - When Yi Hyun smears blood on Oh Ju Hyung's face and watches him scream. It was real. The most realistic expression of desperation.
Say during covid - when people were going out without masks, it made me crazy. It made me crazy that people i know were dying, were struggling and they had no remorse walking around. I wanted them to feel what I was feeling.

All in all, Genius. Amazing. Probably one of the best potrayals.
