Sadly I came across most of these when quite far along my Drama journey and so the 'problematic' aspects of them stand out without the warmth of nostalgia to round them off.
I don't think I have managed to watch any of them in their entirety (1LNN - I am still waiting to watch the last episode - when I can cope).
Devil Beside You and Ko One I haven't tried yet so there is some hope.
Thanks for the article

I like the contrast between reasoning and confrontation but both of the above are on point.

Good review

Not for me I'm afraid I struggled through 2 episodes but was unconvinced by any of it.

Nice review

I ended up dropping this because I found his interaction with the FL creepy in a Stalker sort of way and as @Sinmar says I tend to lose interest in the nice half of a couple if they follow a creep round like a dog (M or F). I get IRL it's something you should try and help them break out of but in a Romance Drama it's DROP!

I usually find them too gushingly positive so it's hard to find a balanced critique - it's 10 or it's 1. I usually find it's best not to delve too deeply in the comments section whilst the drama is airing especially if there is another "popular" drama airing at the same time. People get very tribal about their favourite celebs.
C dramas can have very partisan fan bases as well who try very hard to get high scores for their favourite actors' shows.

Very helpful of you to explain it to me in such a polite fashion, could you please check the other 366 dramas I have dropped in case there are any more I need to be shown how to appreciate /have explained to me.

Fortunately now you have told me without the use of the spoiler flag everyone else will know how to appreciate this one too.

I actually got a dozen episodes in second time before stopping again. I liked the characters, the actors and all the cute moments but after a while it felt a bit like they could be watched in any order, as if it was just cute vignettes threaded on a very thin cord. I may drop back in when I fancy a cute moment but I like more plot in my shows.

Great review. The passing the abuse bit killed my interest in this show.

I gave the ML some leeway at first as he was a "nice guy at heart" but the wrist grabbing, bullying creepy stalker shit just got too much. Dropped

Excellent review, thanks.

Started this once and dropped it in the first episode due to the FL hurling herself at the ML due to love at first sight, came back to it after seeing numerous comments on how she wasn't just a doormat bimbo. The characters are actually quite likeable but I'm finding the HEAVY handed sweetness a little nauseating (and a bit tedious) which is a shame.

I had to drop it due to loathing them both - there seems to be a genre of drama that revolves around pissing yourself off to the N'th degree due to your inability to crawl through the screen and slap the living shit out of most of the characters. My poor wee heart just can't take the stress so I tend to avoid such shows.

Starts well...
Binged first 3.5 episodes then had to sleep and work and stuff.
Then was like totally unengaged - binge it all at once would be my recommendation

Thank you there are still quite a few people like oppa_ who actually review shows on MDL rather than merely display their tribal allegiances thank goodness.
The frothing twists people go through to try and discredit them is often a source of entertainment and occasional frustration to me.

Reading the comments on this review is far funnier and more original than the show turned out to be.
Winner!

When she turned up in a short top showing her midriff I was like WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??

Every scene I see Na In Woo in I think Colin Firth?? Nah!

Me neither I'm on ep.4 and the chemistry is all in the script not the actors.
I am finding her cheeks and his Adam's apple quite fascinating though.
