A villain who can switch to a coquette (flirt) ?

I've had this in my currently watching for so long, and decided to watch it finally after so long.

Idk why i waited so long, because this was really nice, it definitely deserves to be one of those well worth watching short length series

The story was okay, I think some parts were a tiny bit hard to follow and it was regarding the past events, but apart from that it was very simple and the political stuff though it was there, I didn't find it heavy or too much, because of the the drama was spent on the leads, whether building there relationship or stuff related to them.

The costume were really nice, the male costume when being the flirty husband fit his sickly image so well, and tmhis outfits as the villain also fit him really well. The FL general outfits were okay, she wore female clothing and she looked absolutely stunning!!, she could rock both, which I liked!. Ofher side costume were good as well.

The acting for the FL was okay, but the ML caught my attention, seeing him act all flirty like a concubine trying to get their master's affection, and then switch to a villain haha ?.. he did a great job, and I loved his character all together, great antihero ❤️. Other side characters acting was nice as well.

The songs in this one was really nice.

I also loved how not because it was a short drama, their romance wasn't rushed at all, it had time for the FL to fall in love with the ML. I also liked how the misunderstanding was cleared.

There were funny moment, sweet moment, a little bit of sad moments, and a full epsiode for a happy ending (rare) ... don't forget steaming kisses, there chemistry when kissing and being intimate were nice.

Highly reccomending short length series!

Hmmm...

The story wasn't too bad, and it keep you somewhat interested for the 24 episode, I only skip through from episode 13 or 14 until end of 16, it wasn't too hard to watch, that's just where the drama is. But it was very satisfying, because my anger subsided, they did well making the one who caused the problem with the other lead, fixing it. The romance happens realllllly late, but then once together, the kisses were pretty good, and they were cute together, if the ending wasn't so rushed, then it would have been more satisfying, but it somewhat wasn't, but I still don't regret watching, it's good for a one time watch if you have nothing else.
After a while I started really liking the ML sister, I usually don't pay too much attention too secondary couples, but I liked them and it's probably because the SFL has a bad girl type personality, and the SML he was really nice and very caring (especially towards FL dad) without being an idiot, they were well matched.

The acting was good, especially the FL the shows I've seen her in she didn't have this kind of personality, kind of scheming, so it was nice seeing her act this way, the ML acting was nice too, as well as the side characters, the uncle/dad did well with the twin role, i hated him as the uncle but liked him as ML dad haha.

The opening ost, and the songs in the drama were really nice. The food looked good as well.

Now this is what I did not like the romance is already slow burn, but whatever it wasn't too bad, but!!... then they give the secondary couple a more detailed and full happy ending, than the main leads (even before the drama ended), what's with these rushed ending for the main couple?!. After everything they went through, and it's already a slow burn, just to rush the ending. That's like the biggest issue I have, after everything that went on, how can you make such a fast happy ending, literally not even 5 minutes for the main lead, very disappointing.

Sooo... the show was okay, and despite the drama in the middle, they dealt with it well, but it would have gotten a higher rating from me if the main couple had a better detailed happy ending, after all they went through, my gosh even if it was at least 10 minutes more it would have been better. SMH

Anyways, still a watchable drama!.. don't pay too much attention to comments, its all from a personal perspective, I probably wouldn't have watch if i did, so take these comments and reviews with a grain of salt, and if this is your taste, then go for it, maybe you might like it more than me, maybe you wouldn't.. it's up to you.

Happy drama watching :)

It's love at first sight, then lets grow in love and life!?

When I started this it had just finished airing, usually I would check out the comment section first, but since i had nothing else i wanted to watch I just started this one, TBH after the first few episodes, I really didn't think I would love this, but lo and behold!.. I ended up loving it so much. I started wondering why it was this nice?, even at the 20 episode mark, I was nervous to continue because I thought it'll just die down, and get all dramatic etc, but nope.. it kept getting better, it ended up not being a show with a bunch of cliché.

I find the first few episodes a little slow, but I guess it's because we didn't know the characters well enough, as yet but as it continued, I started enjoying the snow theme setting, the filming abroad, it was a nice change and the sport they played was interesting. It was nice seeing the life of the ML as well,
At the beginning the ML's eyes said "I want her" and the FL's eyes said "I want you too, but I'm scared and nervous" haha it was a little funny and cute. Once they got together, it was really nice seeing how their romance, relationships and career took off. I felt like I was really watching a story of their life unfold.

The acting of the leads and everyone was well done, it's my first time seeing the FL, she did so well and she's so young in real life, she did a great job with her role, Leo also did great, the other shows I've seen him in had light/slow burn romance, this is the first I'm watching a show of his with romance like this, it was awkward at first, but then it was great seeing him in love. The FL older brother/cousin, WXY, this guy has grown sooo much in his acting, who on earth would believe he's only 21 in real life, he impressed me with his role here, he acted so mature, though him and the FL are the same age in real life, you never saw that in the show, he really did come off as her older brother/cousin and the head of their sports club.

As for our main couple I absolutely loved them, their chemistry, kisses and relationship was soo sweet and felt so real. I loved seeing how they grew in love, usually at some point in a 30 episode modern drama the romance tend to die down, when it starts early or once the leads get together, but instead they just grew so naturally in love, and as they grow in love, it shaped their life and it was beautiful to watch.

I also really enjoyed the relationship between the ML and his two buddy/rivals, they had such a special bond and relationship, not only them, but the ML former club member, they loved and looked up to him so much (but i don't think anyone admired him as much as the FL older brother haha)

If you're looking for something light, with a different setting (overseas and snow/winter), interesting sport, sweet romance, and a great second chance/comeback, I think you'll like it, also if you liked how low angsty LMLMV was then this has a similar vibe. It's such an easy drama to sit back, relax and enjoy, even the sports element of the show was interesting to watch.

The music was the only part that was just okay, but I guess it fit the theme of the show.

This gets my first 10/10 for a full length drama of 2024! ?

Romance, Romance...Romance!

I loved this very much, I was expecting the romance to be so sweet and captivating, TBH it's the best kisses and intimacy I've ever seen in my Cdrama watching history, the leads had soo much chemistry, if you don't watch this for anything else, the romance alone will keep you, I was at episode 20, and had only two episode left before I realized it was almost done, It's the first I've ever wanted more in a short length series, but that isn't to say it wasn't satisfying, it was simply because I was so into it that I didn't realize I was almost done watching it.

The story isn't great, but it was nice, I don't remember there being much or any filler. The acting was great for everyone including the villain, the villainess girl acting was great as well I really hated her character so she definitely did her job, the villain (ML brother) was an idiot, and overstayed his welcome. The CGI was also good, and the costumes were beautiful, especially the FL outfits, she looked great, TBH I even liked the villainess sleepwear when they were in the modern realm, it was super cute haha

The music was really nice for a short length series as well, will be adding the songs to my favorite drama ost list

The romance was the best part of the show, from beginning to the end we get amazing kisses, amazing chemistry, even the villains at one point had a crazy intimate scene haha, as well as our main couple, I usually don't say this, but I would love to watch the leads together again (while waiting or the last episode to be subbed, I watched a different show with the FL and another actor, and maybe because I watched this first and the chemistry was great, but I felt absolutely nothing for them, even though their kiss scenes were good).

of course there were things that I wish was different, the villains stayed way too long, though I know the many chances they go was because of ML useless father's love for his second son (ML brother), and the other thing I thought would have made this better was the fact that throughout the entire thing the FL had lost her powers, so the ML had to save her, but even without that the charm and attitude of the FL made her likeable still.

So again, if you're not looking for romance, those two things alone listed above, you may not like the show. But if you love romance, that alone in the show was worth the watch

Chemistry, plot, romance and HE in a short length series! Yup! ??

This was wonderful, I love watching short length series, when i need a break from reading webtoons and watchinf full length stuff. But I haven't watch much xianxia short length series, before. This one you get the whole package in such a short time, chemistry, plot, great costume, romance and good kisses and what you don't usually get in full length xianxia... happy ending!. If you enjoy short length series, you'll enjoy this one.

I really enjoyed the couple interactions between each other, and hurray for real kisses, they focused a lot on there romance, which was my cup of tea

Fluffy romcom for when you have nothing else to watch!

Another drama i took so long to watch, well tbh agter reading the comments I had give up watching this, but I found it in a fluffy romcom list, and thats the genre I really like, plus i had nothing else to watch soo why not just give it a chance.

It wasn't great, but it also wasn't bad at all. If you have nothing else to watch, you like fluffh romcom, then you can watch this. Its nothing great, but I've definitely seen worse, and I don't regret watching it.

I liked the ML and FL together, I also dont really like older woman and younger men show, but the second couple was okay, I liked them (if you get passed how fast they got together ?), the thurd couple... I just skipped them eventually when needed, there was no need for them to be a couple tbh!.

I liked how when the FL and ML finally got together, the FL didn't just accept right away, it made sense the way she was thinking, if you watch it you'll understand.. don't want to spoil it, but I'm happy that she didn't just accept him right away after trying to woo him for so long, she wanted to make sure that it was "real" and he was genuine. I don't mind the ending, for a fluffy, simple show, it was fine.

Ps. I've come to realize I just need to watch whatever I feel like, reagrdless of comments, rating etc, you just never know what you'll find. It definitely satisfied the drama slump I was in, and there is no heavy angsty stuff, so again.. if you're into fluffy romcom, that's simple you may like this, if not then you may not like this, either way, whether you give it a try or not its up to you! ??

Sweet voice, sweet food, sweet love! ?

I haven't seen the ML in any show, but i know he's in Lost you forever, haven't seen it as yet, I did watch the FL for the first time in BFTB, and she was incredible there.

With that being said, I had this in my list and was so happy when I saw it finally started airing, I'm happy I only came back after a friend mentioned it was a NBU drama (NoBreakUp), so I didn't check out the comment section, so I blindly went in and boy did I have a great time watching this

This show is just simply a pure, sweet romance, and it worked, because you had chemistry with our MC that was oozing from the first episode, and throughout the show. The way they looked at eachother you'll think they were in love for real ?. They also had some intense sexual tension between them ?, yet was sooo pure and sweet. No annoying FL, No mean ML, A wonderful ML who was so caring and sweet, and a FL who was just as nice just a man who loves a woman and her voice, and a woman who loves a man, his voice and his food, with some extremely incredible friends and a warm family ❤️

It was truly my cup of tea, I loveeee shows with singing and have only enjoyed Love scenery so far with that genre, and I am a sucker for sappy, sweet romance so if you like those things, plus food, you'll enjoy this.

Its really that simple. ?

If you know what you're getting into, either you'll watch and stick with it, or not watch at all.

I finished it!!... after reading through the comments and spoilers, and having nothing to watch, I decided to jump right in. As mentioned the first 11 episode were really, really hard to watch, but knowing their were some light at the tunnel, and my type of light too, I decided to just skip through unnecessary people and scenes, after around episode 13 or so, I didn't skip as much and did enjoy the latter part of the show, it still wasn't by any means "good", but decent enough if you have nothing else to watch, and you're okay skipping through some scenes and people until around episode 12.

It was mostly because of the FL, I didn't hate her and I wasn't quite annoyed, most people probably will be, but I was trying to be positive, she isn't a bad person, she's just righteously innocent and naive?!. She does have serious character development, so that's why I stuck through.

I did enjoy their romance a lot (when it did start), the acting, and OSTs the plot was the major issue here, the way they wrote the FL in the first half, and the way they wrote that one major anti-climatic scene haha.

The villains were all disturbingly disgusting tbh... where did they get the inspiration for these men? haha, they just kept getting worse. This one third-wheeler were way too obsess, he had some really funny scenes because of his nonsense, and it was not just the type of funny as in comedy, I was laughing "at" him!..

if you're able to withstand that, then by all means give it a try. Do I regret watching it? if I didn't know what I was getting into I would have, but I knew, so I don't I enjoyed the last episode.

It was hard deciding how to rate this, but i give an 8 because I knew what I was getting into, I liked the romance, the ending, the acting and the Ost's.

Love starts from friendship? or after friendship?!

Where should I begin, I first started this show and then put it on hold from episode 2, tbh most shows from this year I've been doing the same thing, there were just a few that catches my absolute attention. After a while I went back, and well this captured my absolute attention, and I just finished it, loved it and I have no regrets at all.

After finishing the show I realized that the story, set up, city life, romance and OST reminds me of a early 2000 classic American romance drama filmed in NYC or Manhattan, it has that type of vibe, it's so subtle, and simple yet interesting and entertaining. The casting was pretty perfect, the ML and FL did very well in their roles, and they had amazing chemistry together, and formed a nice MATURE relationship, with no nonsense.

One thing that kept me watching was the way how the main cast got together, it was interesting to wait and see and experience them being strangers, then friends, and then lovers etc. all while they go through the different stages of life with their respective careers. So if you want something mature, simple but entertaining, about life, career and love, no major drama, and a mature romance then this is for you, it left me feeling very complete, and it also leaves you with a nice subtle feeling.

hope you give this a try.

One of the best short length series of 2023

I love watching short length series, and this one was one of the best ones of 2023, the story is simple, but if you love romance the way i do then you'll enjoy this.

The villain(s) were terrible, you'll hate him/her a lot, the ML and FL were very likeable, especially the ML.

The acting were good for everyone, the FL did a great job acting blind, her acting and her wardrobe were great. But, the MLs acting were simple amazing, his crying scene, fighting scenes etc were also so well done.

Then there is the chemistry... it was fantastic, not because of (episode 25??), but from the start to finish these two just looked so amazing together, they do have previous work so they have experience with each other, but they did a great job here, they also have great kissing scenes as well.

Simple watch, with a decent plot for a short length series and a beautiful romance.

Wanna see kisses every episode?! ?

This was actually really lovely, usually I keep an open mind with the short length series I watch, and watch it for what it is. This one i avtuallt wish it was longer, I'd watch a 30 mins per episode of this, but it may ruin it and get all draggy ?... so I'll be content.

I loved, loved, loved their chemistry and boy did they did it with kisses ?... every episode and they were those good ones too, no fish, no awkwardness. The couple just looked so great together, I'd watch another show with the together.

If you want something with a nice and interesting story, and a cute romance with tons of chemistry, and kisses... thats also short and not draggy, then gove this one a try.

How an actress playing twins should be!?

I really enjoy watching short length series, especially after watching a regular show and idk what to watch, or it was too angsty.

This was pretty nice, the story was simple, it had nice pacing and the leads had a sweet chemistry. They had nice kisses and looked great together.

The actress who played both roles did an excellent job, this is how it should be when one actress is playing twins, it was soo believable which made this even better. At one point when they switched, I kept having to remind myself its one actress ?
The ML also did a great job as a blind person. I just love his calm demeanor.

This is definitely one of the decent short length series, it was really easy to watch.

Honey dripping from the eyes (Sooo in love) ?

I haven't watched much Kdrama in the past 4 years, because of the heavy drama and angst. But this one was something different, it wasn't heavy, didn't have that rich man/poor woman cliche angsty story, instead the romance was just so sweet and beaitiful to watch. The friendship was beautiful as well.

Yoona and Junho has amazing chemistry in this, they looked so great together in this. They acted really well, you could see honey dripping from their eyes. You can tell so much how much they loved each other, the character development for the ML was great, both personal and professionally.

The OSTs in this was great, there were a few that played during sweet moments and they were sooo sweet, the melody was beautiful and matched very well with the romance.

I absolutely loved the friendship they all devloped and that there wasnt any unnecessary backstabbing etc.

If you want something sweet, simple and romantic then its an easy watch, i left feeling so content and happy. I blushed, laughed and smiles every episode. ❤️ ?

Beautiful and Pure Love ❤️

First, I wasn't sure whag to expect going into this, I love xianxia shows, and I've seen all the stories from the novel writer, and enjoyed them, so i wanted to give this a try, though i was sooo nervous going in, because i thought it would be very heavy and angsty. But...

It really wasn't as heavy as i was expecting, each lifetime and romance was so well writtten, it was great seeing them in different roles and yet still would do anything for their love with no previous memories of anything.

As the show went on the love grow, so many tiems when i was expecting something bad... it went the other way, it was more heavy during there trial, which i liked that they didnt bring too many drama after each was done.

The acting of the ML was phenomenal, he did such a great job in each lifetime role, one of my favorite acting was the lifetime where he was a cat demon, his acting was very different from all the other shows I've seen him in and it was great seeing him in that role. The FL acting was pretty good as well, i think if anything for her to improve would be her crying scenes and her eyes, but there were times where she showed great acting in her roles, especially in the cang hai role, you can see a clear difference and in the princess and general role.

The leads had really good chemistry, ive seen other say they lacked it, but even though the kisses were many but not as (deep ?), i thought they did well together and after finishing the show i can't imagine anyone else in their roles. They belonged together, they loved each other and it got evident the more you watch the show.

The only time I felt a little like (jeez this is long), was the second lifetime, which was the longest. (SML was also a nuisance then too ?), but after that... it was all so interested.

If you want to watch a sweet, beautiful, amd pure love story and you're a sucker for those things like me, i think you'll also like this.

Usually i always end up reading some spoiler and it spoils it too much, and i end up not finishings a show (that's what happen for till the end of the moon), this time i decided to stay away from all that and watch it on my own.

The OSTs... amazing!!...?

Minor spoiler ahead

There was a mention of a time loop, which shows up around episode 30-31... of you didnt understand (like i didn't) there is a discussion right before the comment about that thoery, but I'll only read it after watching up to episode 31 or when you're done. It truly helped me to understand more about the lifetimes etc. You may not need too, but just incase you feel the need too.. ?

Loved the fire chemistry and kisses .. I love romance

I was waiting for this, but somehow wasn't feeling like it was interesting enough so i left it in my plan to watch *that's being shelved for life in my books*, but after a month or so I watched like two episodes and then put it on hold, but somehow I still wanted to watch it so i left it in currently watching. I came back a few times and never continued, but i eventually give in, i initially thought it wouldn't be as interesting or the romance wouldn't be what i expected, boy was i wrong hahaha... the romance was great, the kisses was amazing and the chemistry was fire.. sweet ost's too.

Definitely don't regret watching it, and I'll recommend if you love romance. The story was nice, the chemistry was great, the romance was sweet, the family relationship with the FL, her brother and grandpa was great, and the ML's friends were the best. they had some great coworkers too.

I left feeling content and pleased. I've always loved Bin Bin and Janice's works but i wasn't sure what to expect with romance since this is the first time I'm watching a main role of hers since she got married, but... the chemistry she had with Bin Bin was amazing, don't talk about their kisses.. *me blushing* haha
