The acting of all casts is 100!!!

A slow burn love story , from friends to lovers. I like the chemistry between main couple ; their micro movements make the scenes more beautiful. The fact that ML is really natural at his fighting scenes and horse riding makes the scenes really enjoyable. And also the interactions betwen SML and FL are noteworthy, waiting to see how the story unfolds later . It is amazing to see how the FL go through ups and downs yet grow as a business woman, fyi she is sharp which i really liked . I like the bonding between Ji siblings as well ; one weaves the silk another one dyes it, got all that knowledge passed down to them from their father. I love all the details that are shown here on how Dyeing Workshops are operated , very vibrant. Apart from all these, i am enjoying the series , not skipping a scene as supporting characters are also good at portraying their roles. But The AI face 3rd ML just feels weird sometimes as it doesn't match well with the scenes. Overall good !

A real slow burn

I see a bunch of comments saying that this drama barely has romance in it and in my opinion, those people could not be more wrong. This drama is EXACTLY what I want out of my romance — quiet contemplation, and the ultimate slow burn of two people who just love spending time with each other and don't realize it's love until it's too late. I just loved the vibes of this entire show; it's quiet but bubbly and comforting, and there are characters that make bad decisions, but they're not portrayed as cartoonishly evil.

With that being said, however, I do wish this drama had subverted some of the cliches instead. Towards the end, there are miscommunication tropes that were frustrating; I prefer my romance to burn slowly as a result of "it was never the right time," rather than because a third character did something underhanded, and they also ended up doing the time jump reunion, which I always just hate, because it feels lazy and unearned. Without this part, I would've probably given this drama an 8. Still, the episodes before this are fantastic.

Legally Yours!

This was an entertaining blend of drama and comedy with a refreshing plot (not a university BL).

Ryoma was an interesting character. He is a passionate lawyer with a very peculiar relationship with his succulents. He has that classic tsundere energy but deep down is such a softie. On the other hand, Haruto is charming yet mysterious, hiding his secrets until the last few episodes. Even though it was pretty obvious that Haruto had ulterior motives when he first contacted Ryoma, I couldn’t help but side with him. The suspense added intrigue, but I do feel like they revealed his secrets a bit too late, and what followed after , felt rushed.

The chemistry between the leads Ryoma and Haruto, was so palpable!
Their relationship was beautiful. The way Ryoma risked everything for Haruto and trusted him despite all odds against them was touching. It shows how pure and strong their love is. And Haruto, who initially approached Ryoma for his own reasons, ends up staying and going to great lengths for him. They both needed the calm warmth and unconditional emotional support the other provided. There were moments that gave me second-hand embarrassment, but it was filled with that perfect mix of laughs and swoon-worthy moments.

While their romance had its ups and downs, I do think the pacing of their relationship was a bit fast. But considering the 19-minute episode length, it’s understandable.

Overall, this was a pleasant surprise. Though it has its flaws mainly with pacing and some ambiguous character intentions, it still managed to keep me hooked with its great chemistry and decent comedic moments.
If you're looking for something light and fun, I’d definitely recommend it! It’s the kind of show that’s better binged rather than watching one 20-minute episode a week.

started off good but went downhill

The story revolves around boxing, a former boxer who turned into a "KUZU" and an honest woman who gets involved with boxing to punch the kuzu.

The first 3 episodes were intriguing. the story started to build up and the leads chemistry was decent but suddenly the dark past started showing up and people turned very evil around the leads. Just in the middle of them becoming a real couple, everything got messed up.

I don't know why they decided to suddenly make the ML a stupid person. The FL is also so Hinged on the ML that her actions became nonsense. i hope the last episode clears the mess.

Overall, very very average and Cringe-worthy at times.

Boring.

What I liked most about the entire drama was Jang Ki Yong’s smile. Unfortunately, the weak storyline overshadowed even the best acting. There were no truly happy or uplifting moments, and after the first three or four episodes, every character seemed lost, struggling with their own challenges.

I understand that life isn’t perfect and that ups and downs are a part of everyone's journey. However, dramas are meant for entertainment, and unless they are based on a true story, there’s no need to make the plot so unnecessarily complicated. To make things worse, they even messed up the ending.

Like many viewers, I had high hopes for the main couple. Despite their story being overly complicated by unnecessary consequences, I still hoped for a better or at least a satisfying ending. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. I don’t know how others feel, but the ending didn’t work for me, and it left me feeling unsatisfied.

The Most Heartwarming Sports Rom Com!

FYI: I don't usually give such high reviews (for me, 10/10 means perfect), Soooo, 9/10 means smth!

I am so sad I've finished watching! 😭😭😭 It was so good!

Pros:
-perfect mix of sports, romance, comedy, cuteness, and growth.
-healthy relationship
-our ml actually has feelings! Like he cries sometimes and is cute! We need more mls like this.
-very inspiring
-themes of hard work will bring success, friendship, and support!
-show might seem long, but you'll wish it would not end!
-ost is was really good
-small note: the fl's bestie actually gives good relationship advice! (usually, I'll be like "nooo! don't listen to her!). The ml's bestie also gave good relationship advice 80% of the time (but it ended it up fine sooo)

Cons:
-one of the "bad guys", was given an arc where he fixes his mistakes (Coach Xiao). I personally believe that he isn't worth a second chance. Dude is a manipulating jerk (so is his sister)

Not sure which category to put this: they're kiss scenes were not the best (but not bad enough to complain too much), obviously a college drama, so they are quite more on the cutesy side. However, they're hugs and banter more than makes up for it.

Rating as I watched:
1-5 episodes: 7.50
5-14 episodes: 7.75
14-18 episodes: 7.25
18-25 episodes: 8.50
25-33 episodes: 9.00

I haven't really watched many sports dramas recently, because I just haven't really had many good experiences with them. I started this one with the lowest expectations to man (As, I watched the first 5 eps a few months ago and wasn't impressed. I was planning on quitting at ep 12 or smth. I just wanted to spend time doing smth) I later found out that this drama actually isn't bad. I kept watching and it kept getting better!

So, overall, I highly recommend this!

I LOVEEEEE THIS SHOW!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Do not miss this show, it's sooooo good!!!
I love the dark humor and the story is just really refreshing.
The whole casts acting is amazing and each character is written beautifully. To be honest, I have never come across such a unique cast of characters in 1 show before in a kdrama. The way each character reacts catches me offguard. That's the best part.
I think what I found really refreshing is the dynamic of the twins.
The boy looks soft but is a complete psycho genius. Like Lomon really nailed the psycho pookie look. His smile when he enjoys watching torture is really cute. 🤣❤️
The girl looks rough but is a big softie inside. The thing is, she's actually the most normal one in the family and it is the scariest part. I love her!!!
Honestly, I did not expect it but the girl twin played by Lee Su Hyun... I think I have the biggest crush on her. She is so so cool and absolutely GORGEOUS.
I wish we can have Lee Su Hyun as a female lead in more dramas. Her features are so distinct and refreshing. I actually started watching this drama because of her reels on IG. Her visuals just got me very curious.

The parents and grandfather also are so crazy and loveable. I love this family dynamic.

This drama is one where I just feel like I NEED MOREEEE, the episodes are long and because the drama is so interesting, I feel just goes by fast. I am looking forward to future episodes and hopefully season 2. This is the BEST dark kdrama drama in 2024.

Just watch it already

I used to skip or fast watch chinese drama because of the episode and plotline that circles around with no reason at all. But this, i totally understand everything they do (unless his decision to not move to the office, it's kinda unaceptable for me. But it's there for a plot reason right). Their development is just perfect, not to fast not to slow. The story about firefighter itself is great and tearbreaking.

It's missing point five for me because i think tbh, most of the ML is critical situation he should be dead atleast two times. first is when he traped in the ruin (he doesnt wear his helmet on) and second is when he inhaled arsenic (maybe he was safe, because he got his oxygen mask which slow down the effect of the toxic) anyway his plot armor is the best lol. But that's just my opinion, without that this drama would be a perfect 10/10 for me.

Plus, YangYang is sooo good looking and their (FL & ML) chemistry... hehehe make me giggle like i am in love myself.

Trust me you are gonna love this....

This drama stands as one of the best C-dramas I have had the pleasure of watching. Its approach to the story is incredibly realistic, presenting a plot that feels entirely plausible, making it both engaging and grounded in reality. The overall tone of the series is comfortable, with no toxic dynamics, which makes for a refreshing viewing experience.

The unfolding of the story is remarkably pleasant, and the character development is something I truly appreciated. However, I do feel that more attention could have been given to the male lead’s family background, which would have added another layer of depth to his character.

As for the second half of the drama, opinions may vary. Some viewers might find it slightly stretched or feel that it doesn't hold the same charm as the earlier episodes. Despite this, the drama remains thoroughly enjoyable and is certainly worth watching.

The casting is spot-on, particularly the portrayal of the main lead, which is crucial to the series' success. Additionally, the sibling dynamics in the story were beautifully executed, adding warmth and emotional depth.

Trust me when I say this drama is so good that I’m already planning to rewatch it.

I almost gave up on it and when I was starting to like it again, it ended. I wish they could have removed the majority of the middle episodes, and used some of the final episodes. The final episodes were better for me because they're believable in today's society. However much we want to chase our dreams, however much we want happiness in life, as long as you're struggling financially, you're never truly happy. You're just deluding yourself. Unless you're living in a forest where you do not have to transact with money, money is a VERY essential part of society.

It ended as soon as it was starting to get satisfying.
