This was a great drama overall, but I’m not that satisfied with the ending. Most villains had their easy way out.
Jeong Woo suffered so much injustice and grievance for 11 years, therefore the villains should have suffered more, but most didn’t. None of them showed an ounce of guilt towards him or their crimes. And the real murderers just died without being punished for their crimes.
Jeong Woo was too pitiful from beginning til end. He was too good of a person and incredibly patient, that it frustrated me in comparison to the amount of shameless villains we had lol
Did he even get any kind of compensation for the unjust sentence and lost time? We don't know.
As much as I loved the leads' scenes the last two episodes, these almost kiss scenes are ridiculous as hell. I can't even count them anymore, that's how many we had until now. Even the latest two episodes had up to 4 or more interruption scenes.
I don't even need them to kiss, they are still cute without them, but those scenes are just ridiculous and annoying at this point. I will take at least 2 stars off the rating because of this bad writing...
The lead couple is so cute and lovely... but tbh the writing is killing all the tension and butterflies I had for them.
To the novel readers, I'm really curious... is the novel written this ridiculous as well?
watched until ep8 but the show am getting really bored. does it get any better?
imo.. not really. But the leads scenes are still cute. I really like the leads. Just skip-watch the drama when its finished and watch the leads and second leads scenes lol
It's incredible how much alike the young and present version of Woo Jeong look like. I swear they could be the same person. And both are good at acting as well. Brillant casting :D
An average drama that you will forget in a few daysThe first five episodes were challenging to watch as I genuinely…
Funny how different people tastes are 😂 I wanted to come here again, because I saw a snippet of this drama on yt and it reminded me of how much I liked it. Then I saw your comment as the most recent comment lol
It's been a year after the release, but I didn't forget it 😁
I’ve binge-watched nine episodes over the past few days and I honestly can't decide if I like it. Most characters are so shameless and despicable that I found myself pausing multiple times just to get through it. The gaslighting, manipulation and sheer lack of morals are hard to stomach 😅 It’s definitely a gripping drama that keeps you on edge, but it’s incredibly frustrating to watch. I really hope these awful characters get what’s coming to them...
I think I've never seen a drama where the writer deliberately separate and interrupt the leads' scenes as often as this one. They always built up to something and then leave us hanging EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. And I don't even just mean their dozen almost kisses... I mean their quality time together. Do the writers even want them together?! It's seems they hate the idea of having just the leads in a scene from beginning till end lol
Like what's the point of hindering Tang Yang to spent the weekend with Jiang Shi Yan with some stupid, out-of-the-blue investigation, where she doesn't even have a minute to contact Jiang Shi Yan, to tell him, that she can't make it? That's just ridiculous! We can't have proper scenes with them without anything or anyone interrupting them. What even was the point of ep. 19?
And it's not the slowness that I don't like, it's the way it's written. The interruption in every single scene and going in circles. I love slow burn and slow dramas. I'm a big fan of slow Cdramas. They have brillant slice-of-life romance dramas out there, so yeah, I can wait until couples get together, even if it's in the last episode, but I need substance for that.
Here it's like the writers don't know how to slow down their relationship in a natural and interesting way, so they always end with the same pattern. I've seen plenty of slow dramas, with even slower or less romance than this, but at least they were written better.
I won't drop this as I like the leads, but I'm so done. I love the leads and their chemistry, but this is one of the most frustrating and annoying writing I've ever seen... Will mostly skip-watch this now.
I genuinely wanted to rate this drama higher because I thoroughly enjoyed almost every episode. The couples were adorable and the romance and comedy were spot on.
But here we go again... the dreaded ending curse that so many dramas fall victim to.
Sigh... is it me getting older or are K-drama writers becoming more uncreative day by day? This show already had fewer episodes, yet they still managed to cram all this unnecessary nonsense into the finale.
Why? Why force all these cliché endings in the last episodes? The ridiculous, pointless breakup, a lead flying abroad, a time jump, misunderstandings, barely any screen time for the leads and a last-minute reunion. Every single trope I’ve come to despise lately.
Is it that hard to be original? This drama was so good, why ruin it?
It felt so cruel for Hae Young to break up with him right after the funeral, basically saying that his feelings and dependence were burdensome. Ugh, I hate that. Ji Uk deserved so much better, but he’s always left behind. And of course, it had to be him chasing after her till the end. It’s just disappointing.
Sorry... I really didn’t want to leave this drama on a bad note, but it's frustrating 😭
Well... overall, it’s a good drama with plenty of fun moments. Lame ending, but what’s new, right? Still, I’m excited for the second lead’s spin-off!
Sigh... this drama really tires me out 😂 If I had to describe this drama in one word: Frustrating.
The friends couple are annoying as hell, giving the worst advices, spreading rumors and misunderstandings left and right. And it's even more frustrating that the leads just suck all their nonsense in without communicating with each other.
Every episode I hope the leads get us a little bit more, but now you can almost 100% expect that something or someone will intrude their scenes together. It's okay, if that happens sometimes, but now it's so overused, that it's ridiculous.
I'm staying for the little bread crumbs they give us... The little tiny awkward tension between the leads was sweet and worth to watch, but I already know, this drama is a one-time watch 😅
Look at the total no. of episodes... it's only 26. And that too 35 min duration. If they start giving 2 epi per…
I actually went in totally cold, so I didn't know anything while binge-watching the first 7 episodes 😂 This also has more short-length-drama vibes and production, so I get their schedule decision. So gonna pause to watch more in one go 😁
Oh no, I started this without checking the broadcast schedule... Just one episode a day for the rest of the drama? Nooo! Why did I start this so early?! Now it's going to be torture waiting for each episode.
I miss the old days of Chinese dramas when they released at least 2 eps a day continuously. Looks like I'll have to put this on hold until more episodes are out 😅
What? What???? For you the leads have only 5 minutes interactions each ep?? No no i don't agree, they have the…
Yeah, maybe I'm exaggerating 😂 But it totally feels like that. But it's true that in ep. 15 they had just 2 minutes and 44 seconds interacting face to face with each other. I timed it lol

But still... worth to watch and great acting! :)
I really liked the leads in NGNL, but here... not so much lol
Weird, but I really like the actors and their acting :)
So many weird people out there lol
Shi Yan: "I’m shameless? If I were that shameless, maybe Feng Yuanqi would’ve had a brother with a different surname." lol I loved that 😊
Overall I really loved the conversation they had in ep. 22 ❤️
I don't even need them to kiss, they are still cute without them, but those scenes are just ridiculous and annoying at this point. I will take at least 2 stars off the rating because of this bad writing...
