Oh, I loved WLGYT, so I’m super excited to watch this! Thanks so much for the quick response. I also added We Are All Trying Here, since it has the same screenwriter — I can’t wait to dive into that one next.

Hi @chrysalis — No, I haven’t seen We Are All Trying yet. I just looked at the preview and some user reviews, and it looks pretty good.
I just finished Misaeng, which I thought was really well done, but now I’m looking for something more captivating with a strong storyline and great acting. I’m thinking about starting My Liberation Notes.
Every time I finish a truly amazing K‑drama, I walk away thinking, “How can anything else top this?” Our Blues reminded me why I keep watching. After countless incredible dramas, this one stands out as one of the best I have seen.
It’s a perfect blend of love, kindness, friendship, laughter and simplicity, all wrapped in the cold reality of life and its sadness. It has that same nostalgic, poignant, beautiful energy you find in Reply 1988 and When Life Gives You Tangerines.
This is by far- in my opinion - one of the top C-Dramas i have watched ever!!! Perfect balance of action, comedy, romance and everything. This is an all time classic for me!!! Should be at least a 9.2 rating.
It would be great to have both. I prefer substance over appearances. I love Cdramas where the actor and the character they’re portraying go beyond looks and bring real depth, talent, and character development. Lately, the emphasis on visuals seems to overshadow the plot and storytelling, which takes away from what could be a truly meaningful drama.
The bond between the brothers is the best part of this drama.Some people liked the leads relationship and the…
Sam, I went ahead and watched episode 2, and I’m glad I did. I’m now on episode 6 and really enjoying it so far. Never judge a book by its cover—or in my case, a show by its first episode.
I just started this drama and I’m only on episode 1. I like the banter between Ko Gyeom and Kim Mubi, but the ending felt strange. The sudden kiss didn’t make sense to me—I wanted more development and connection before jumping to that moment. Even Ko Gyeom looked startled. It honestly turned me off, and now I’m not sure if I should continue to episode 2. I like both the ML and FL, but I’m unsure whether the story or chemistry is really there. Any thoughts?
I’m a big fan of Jung So‑min, and I like the male lead as well. But this was rough. The writing felt like a fifth‑grade level, the acting was bland, and the chemistry just wasn’t there. It felt like I was watching an unconvincing, poorly written show. I didn’t feel the chemistry that I know both leads are capable of delivering.
I really like Jung and all her previous work, which is why I’m not sure why her personality and the little mannerisms I adore never came through in this drama. This felt like a cookie‑cutter show with no depth and weak dialogue. I wish I could rate it higher, but 7.9 is honestly the best it deserves. If it had been any other actress, I wouldn’t have finished it. I practically had to dumb myself down to get through it.
Still I love Jung as an actress, and I wish her much success with her next role.
Oh, I love this drama! I don't think I’ve ever come across another show with the same feel, setting, and storyline. Twenty-Five Twenty-One (2521) was close, but not quite the same. Anyway, I'm just sitting here reminiscing and wondering if I’ll ever get to watch another one like it. Please feel free to give me some recommendations.
This was really good - It could have been one of the best but fell short because of the last 2 episodes. Too many unanswered questions for me. Still I love it, but man they miss a super hit.
The acting was commendable, and the episodes were captivating and engaging. Both leads delivered exceptional performances, but I couldn’t quite sense the romantic chemistry between them. It felt more like a mentor-mentee relationship.
The ending left me unsatisfied. The explanation for his absence for three years lacked substance and failed to make much sense.
Furthermore, the portrayal of the female lead at the end was problematic. She came across as overly needy and forgiving. She consistently went above and beyond, seeking to understand, which made me feel like she desired more than the male lead.
Despite these shortcomings, I still thoroughly enjoyed the show and highly recommend it.

It’s sad, warm, and quietly powerful all at once.
