I'm on ep. 15 and loving this, laughing out loud and occasionally shouting obscenities at the screen. I have been doing a fair amount of skipping though especially in the first episode. There's a fair amount of guff that you only really need to catch the main point of before skipping to the brilliant bits.
The formula is pretty much set in the first episode and is ok but the humour and human touches weren't enough to keep my interest on the simple premise.
Occasional moments of interest in a sea of 'I'm not bothered' and irritation. Can't quite work out why it doesn't work for me, all the ingredients are there, the actors are decent but I'm not enjoying it. I'm on episode 5 so I've given it a chance... dropped.
Enjoyed the first couple of episodes mostly but then Eun Jae had to actually be stupid and I started to lose interest. By episode 4 I was just skipping through. Dropped
Sort of enjoyed this most of the way through but dropped it because I didn't like the ML. Nothing he did really just me being capricious, wasn't keen on the twist either.
i finished this drama a long time ago but who is this evil rapey smug bastard are you talking about? I have no…
Probably easiest to read Luly's Review, first paragraph, 1st line of the second and the 4th paragraph. Or I'm not fond of Tsundere characters and need them to not cross the line too much and show some development pretty quickly. In this case the chef forcibly kissing the FL on top of the way he was already behaving was way over the line for me. It really upsets me and throws me out of the 'I'm watching a Romantic fantasy zone' to see a person having 'sexual' contact forced on them. It's just a kiss, hand on your arse, friendly hug ...
If it's 'in context' I can sort of cope c.f. the movies Han Gong Ju, Silenced etc. though it makes weep - as it is supposed to.
I get that lots of people don't see these things in the same way and see dramas as fluffy and cute that, to me, are just explorations of abuse but I hope that explains my comment.
Pretty damn good, it occasionally drifts into the saccharine but on the whole is done very well with little condescension. Well worth a bash if you fancy something to make you feel good with a few tears, laughs and a bit of anger thrown in.

Skipped through a couple of episodes as I really wanted to see her last show but when he drags her round by the back of the shirt in episode eight that was more than enough for me. Utter abusive pathetic bastard shit! I'm so angry now.
Got to episode five only by gritting my teeth and skipping bits, waiting for the great romance to kick in. By the end of that episode if I could have climbed into the screen I'd have punched that awful bastard in the face (there were a few awful bastards on the list but he won). The tipping point of 'I hate him so much that I cannot stand to see him get the girl no matter what he does from now' has been reached. Extra horrible watching her being emotionally and physically abused whilst knowing she was beaten by her husband and committed suicide in real life.

Wasn't too keen on the OST.
