I agree. Although I think HDY did a great job of making us care about all the side characters even though they aren’t real. I probably cared more about their fates compared to majority of other drama with “real” characters 😳

Don’t dramas tend to tone down red flag-ness of characters? So I’d think his character here would be more positive.

At this rate, looks like next WCR drama will be “Hidden Shadow” instead of this one.

I believe it does based on what someone had told me earlier.

This drama isn’t based on his original script (it has a source novel), so maybe we will not need a box of tissues, lol

Unlike those other dramas, GJM didn’t write an original script here because it has a source novel. Not to say it’s not going to be good, but just it’s not fully his creation.

GJM is the director of this drama (his Chinese initials). But it’s not exactly correct to call it “GJM drama” because that applies to dramas he had written & directed (like Veil of Shadows, Fangs of Fortune, etc.). Whereas this drama isn’t his original script and has a source novel instead.

Have people started to call for boycott of the leads because they support turning South Korea from a democratic country into a monarchy? 🤣🤣🤣

Yes! I think such reviews / comments are just purely a troll job or rage baiting. I’ve started to block those accounts to make my comments page more peaceful 😁

A lot of that is just trolls or rage-baiting. I’ve blocked multiple accounts like that and not my comments feed is much more peaceful ☺️

Multiple characters die in “How Dare You” although it’s not as romcom-y like this drama.

You are welcome! Even my friends and I have different tastes, so no need to worry. As long as a person gives a reasonable explanation and doesn’t say something silly, it’s all good. For example, there was one comment here which said that IU is a bad actor and a bad singer. That person is clearly a troll 🙄

She is trying to find dirt on ML in order to destroy his reputation and/or find leverage to control him. It actually makes sense :)

I find some bad/hater reviews unintentionally hilarious. One of them, for example, tried to make this drama look bad by saying it’s for the same people who enjoyed “Pursuit of Jade”… which is funny because PoJ is not only a most popular 2026 C-drama yet but is also a top-rated C-drama on MDL and top C-drama on Netflix (made it to top 5 globally out of non-English shows).

Not sure if this is a bug or on purpose, but under Recommendations it lists “Fireworks of My Heart” FOUR times and “Bright Eyes in the Dark” twice 🤣

Season 2 and IU replaced by Suzy 🤣… just kidding, just kidding 😁

Pursuit of Jade is the most popular C-drama on Netflix and is the top rated C-drama on MDL. So, it feels very strange to use it as a negative example 🙄🤣

Based on this account’s watch history, this seems like a troll/antifan account.

FYI, this review was written based only on 1-2 episodes not 12.
