Amazing - I can't get enough
Final Review after 12 eps:The last 3-4 eps have completely ruined this drama for me. It was easily 10 stars until that point but the story became very confusing and unnecessarily complicated towards the end as well as rather boring compared to the first few episodes which were all masterpieces, in my opinion. Overall, giving it 8 stars to account for how good it was at the beginning, but the ending really really sucked and let down the entire story.
Original Review after 4 eps: We're only 4 eps in, but this drama has been so incredible so far. Superb acting, a great storyline and a lot of tension. I'm very excited to see what happens next! I have high hopes for this drama!
The FL is absolutely incredible and I love her expressions, the ML is great too, very intense. The story is complicated and greatly complimented by the romance.
I hope to raise my rating even higher as the story expands in the episodes to come! If you like thriller/romance dramas then be sure to give this one a try!

Overhyped
This review is purely my opinion and I'm not setting out to offend anyone–it's mainly to deter myself from ever trying to rewatch this bc I reread my own reviews before I rewatch/try to complete things.I went into this expecting it to be incredible, and was thoroughly disappointed.
It started out okay, but didn't really grip me and I considered dropping it. Based on good reviews, I kept going and it got slightly better by around ep 3-5, then it just got worse and worse to the point I skimmed the last 2 and a half episodes because it was so boring and I wanted it to be over.
The ML was annoying and toxic, the plot was questionable at times and humour was just making me cringe. The second ML was annoying and the fact that he kept stripping was so, so awful and unfunny. Overall, this drama was a waste of time and I really, really wish I could have loved it, but I hated it. The only redeeming qualities were some of the soundtrack was amazing, and **MILD SPOILER BELOW**
the interaction with the second potential dad was lovely and well written imo, it messed with my emotions and was a great addition to the story.
Overall, I would not rewatch, and wish I never watched.

Powerful, gripping, entertaining
This drama was so easy to binge watch, I finished it in two days! It was full of twists and turns and a powerful metaphor throughout. It was well written, beautifully executed and overall a masterpiece of a drama. The soundtrack was also so incredible, the acting was superb and every character was fleshed out well! I just finished a rewatch of Weak Hero Class 1 before watching this and this was exactly what I needed! If you're a fan of WHC1 I highly recommend you give this drama a try! It has spectacle, intelligent characters fighting to outsmart each other, revenge, loyalty--what an exciting watch!Was this review helpful to you?
Do not miss out on this drama!
This drama made me smile so much. It's a story of healing and love and heartache. It's hilarious and sad and beautiful. I loved it very much. This is one of those dramas I know I will rewatch again, chasing that feeling of watching it for the first time that I will sadly not feel again in quite the same way. But in the words of Winnie the Pooh: "How lucky am I to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard."Run, don't walk to watch this drama. I don't think it's for everyone, but if this drama is for you then I know you will love it as much as I did.

It had its moments
I started this drama in December 2023 and have only just finished it in November 2024. The reason it took me almost a year to finish this, is because despite its strong start, it was painfully boring in the middle and dragged on too much. I'd actually decided to drop it on ep 12 after suffering through 3-4 eps and finally giving up, but yesterday I suddenly felt like finishing it, and although the last 4 eps were nothing special, they were decent enough and I got through them.Now as much as the story was a let down after ep 8 imo, the two leads are so, so well casted and adorable and I love them together. She is so sweet and admirable and he is brilliant and had good character development. It's a lovely story, albeit one that drags on a bit but with two leads who I was rooting for the whole time and who I loved to see interact with each other. Although I initially dropped this, I'm actually quite glad I finished it! The soundtrack was really lovely too!

A masterpiece
I have no words to explain how much I loved this drama. It is my all time favourite and an absolute work of art. The soundtrack was perfect and I still listen to some songs sometimes. I cared so much for the characters and I love how complicated and morally grey they could be and I would still love them. This drama made my heart feel full, it made me sob, it made me smile and laugh and everything in between and I so wish it was possible to forget it all and watch it again because it was an absolutely brilliant masterpiece and I cannot recommend it enough!Was this review helpful to you?
Chaos - banter and rivalry, although lacking chemistry
This drama, so far, has been chaotic and funny (albeit a bit too childish at times) and has set the stage for an enemies/rivals to lovers story. It has been decently enjoyable, if a bit slow at times, but overall I am interested in seeing what happens next. She seems quite quirky which I like and I look forward to seeing their relationship develop further, although I hope to see more chemistry between the two leads as I feel there's a bit of a lack of it right now. I loved the younger actors who played them in school, but the present day leads aren't as captivating, in my opinion.This drama may not be everyone's cup of tea, but possibly worth a chance if you like chaotic love stories, banter, school/work rivals and reunions. The worst that can happen is you wasted a bit time on a story that isn't for you, at the end of the day. But in my opinion, you still learn something from the stories you don't like, even if it just helps you narrow down what you like about a story. That said, I do hope to raise my rating as more episodes come out, I've just found it a bit lacking so far.

A work of art with a brilliant cast
This show was devastating both times I watched it and after rating it 9 for my first watch, I have to raise it to 10 after a rewatch. This story is so well written and clever and casted absolutely perfectly. Park Ji Hoon did such an incredible, incredible job and his performance haunts me. I cannot wait for season 2 and I implore everyone to give this drama a chance! It's short, concise and excellent! Wht a brilliant work of art this story was, with fascinating and complicated characters who all played their roles perfectly!Was this review helpful to you?
Chaotic and hilarious
This drama was so funny, it had me crying laughing. It had some flaws and gave me the worst second lead syndrome I've ever had, but overall it was incredible and I commend all the writers and actors. It was so easy to keep watching, each episode kept me invested and the characters were so likable and interesting and hilarious. It was a brilliant mess and I loved (almost) every minute! Despite one or two issues I had with the plot, I still loved this drama a lot and I love knowing I can go back and rewatch any time for a laugh!Was this review helpful to you?
A masterpiece
One of my all time favourite dramas. The soundtrack is my favourite ever and I regularly listen to it, it is so beautiful. Every single episode ended with a cliffhanger and I couldn't stop watching--this drama was a real obstacle during assignment week when I watched! The writing was incredible and lovely and the acting was brilliant. I loved both leads so, so much. This story made me laugh and cry and everything in between and I loved the ending so much. I would pay an exorbitant price to be able to swallow a pill and forget this drama so I could watch it again if that were possible. 10/10 stars is not enough, this drama is a work of art and I loved it more than words can adequately describe.Was this review helpful to you?
Clichés done well!
As cliché and predictable at times as this story could be, it was still very entertaining and oftentimes hilarious. Also the ads made me chuckle a lot because they were so obvious x)The cast was brilliant and acted their hearts out. The story was paced well except for one or two times along the way where I got a bit bored but overall it was good. The plot was good and I don't mind clichés when they still entertain me, but one or two plot points were placed oddly in my opinion and should not have been included as they just dragged the story on and irritated me. This is why I can't rate it 10 stars, but overall it was well worth the watch and I definitely understand the hype!
Side note, Ren has my heart, he's such a great character! <3

Decent, but a let down compared to season 1
A well casted and entertaining continuation that did not have a satisfying conclusion. I know it was to set up season 3, but every season of a show should have its own satisfying conclusion before being built upon in the next season. This just felt incomplete and so obviously a part 1 and that's why I won't give it higher than 7 stars. It does not compare to the brilliance of season 1 and how complete the story in season 1 felt. It was not as good, but it was still an easy watch with interesting characters, so I'll give it that.Was this review helpful to you?
A wonderful and hilarious adventure with lovable characters
Wow, what a journey! This drama was a breath of fresh air. It was hilarious and heartfelt and wonderful. The fantasy elements and world building were superb, the characters were so lively and I cared so deeply for them. I really, really loved this drama and the FL was so cute and funny, I really liked her and she was the perfect cast. As were the rest of the main characters too, they were perfect. This story was well written and I loved it, but it drag a little towards the end and took a bit more time to finish than the first 20 or so episodes which I absolutely flew through because I could not stop watching. Be sure to give this drama a chance if you like fantasy and demons, enemies to loversesque relationships (although not quite enemies, just a bit of the dynamic) and found family!Was this review helpful to you?
Cute fluffy romance
This drama was casted brilliantly. All the characters suited their roles well and delivered a cute romance. The relationships were healthy and it was wonderful to see, and despite some clichés I still adored this drama. It was relaxing and although the story wasn't really anything special, it was lovely enough to watch and, in my opinion, executed shat it set out to. I'm also loving the My Lovely Liar reunion haha, as I love that drama too.If you like relaxed romances where you don't have to stress too much (not that there isn't conflict, but it's not like serial killer conflict stressful haha), then this drama is certainly for you!

Entertaining, heartfelt, slow at times
This drama had depth and heartache and layered characters with complicated lives and relationships. This drama did an excellent job navigating difficult topics and although certain plot lines dragged on at times, it was still brilliant and well executed. I'd say Hwang In Youp is my favourite actor and he delivered a great performance as usual in this drama! His expressions are so great and he was the perfect choice for his character. Everyone else was great too, but he really shone brightly! Definitely give this drama a chance if you like the found family trope or heartfelt, deep, emotional stories about human connections and disconnections!Was this review helpful to you?
