With her wedding only two months away, Seon U finds herself in a confusing time, unsure whether going through with the marriage is the right choice or if she truly loves Jae Seong. While sitting listlessly at her regular bar, she meets Eun Ho, a new bartender. The moment their eyes meet, they can’t seem to look away from each other, as if struck by electricity. Not long after, during a university lecture where Seon U is teaching, she notices Eun Ho—who belongs to another department—sitting in the front row and staring straight at her. For some reason, his gaze makes her heart tremble. After class, they begin talking and gradually feel themselves drawn to one another. As they start exchanging personal messages, their connection deepens, eventually leading them to share drinks together… (Source: Vigloo) Edit Translation

Reviews
Cowardly and selfish FL who took no accountability for her actions. I disliked this drama!
I got curious about this vertical drama after reading my MDL friend Raiana's review. I have only watched a few Korean verticals and most of the shows I watched (available on iQIYI) cannot match the quality of Chinese verticals. I had high hopes for this drama because I had already seen 2 rave reviews before starting this drama. Unfortunately I don't share the same love for this drama like the other reviewers. I usually avoid giving away too much spoilers in my MDL reviews so I apologise in advance - there are a lot of spoilers in this review.What I liked:
1. Production value - The drama was well directed and edited. Burning the Line felt like a compact version of a standard Korean melodrama.
2. Supporting characters - I liked FL's best friend and FL's dean / superior. They were the most rational people in this drama.
3. ML characterisation - He was lovebrained and overall nice guy. He was mature beyond his age and at times, more mature than FL.
4. Duration - This drama is less than 90 minutes. Thank gawd!
What I disliked:
1. FL - She was the antagonist of this story. She was unhappy with her career and love life but instead of breaking up with a fiance she didn't love and focusing on career advancement, she just let the engagement go on AND got entangled in a situation that could jeopardise her goal. I HATED that she gave weak excuses (to herself and ML) about being in relationship to ML despite knowing that he was her bestie's son! She was cowardly and did not take any accountability for her actions. She ran away when facing problems.
2. The ending - Gosh, what kind of ending was that?!! Noble idiocy!
3. Romance - I love noona romance but sadly I didn't like the romance arc in this drama. Their romance started with deceit and even though ML knew that FL was still engaged, he was happy to continue being in a relationship with her.
Favourite scene
When ex-fiance bumped into FL and ML.
Love and Passion
I really enjoyed this drama and have already watched it twice! All of the actors were so good in their roles, and it was easy to see all perspectives. I forgot reality while watching - sometimes forgot to breathe too! The love and passion was so authentic. The ending was perfect IMO. Hope to see more work by the main leads soon - they are both so talented! I will look for more dramas by the director and writer too. We need more messy *human* stories like this one!(Why must I fill this space exactly?)
