The initial two episodes were exceptionally well-done! They truly captivated my interest, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next episodes. The entire cast's performances have been outstanding so far, with Choi Dae Hoon's portrayal of King Lee Sun standing out for me with his remarkable depiction of a paranoid and pitiful king. It's been a while since I liked a Sageuk from the get-go :D

And Jo Jung Suk's versatility as an actor is truly remarkable. He's amazing in comedic roles, but his performance in serious ones is equally impressive. Given the weightiness of this drama, I'm looking forward to more emotionally charged scenes with his acting :)

Also I'm pretty sure Shin Sae Kyung stepped up her game. I wasn't fond of her performances before I watched her on "Run On." But I'm enjoying her portrayal in this drama so far, although I can't help but overlook the somewhat conspicuous makeup used for her male disguise. A detail that seems unnecessary and slightly amusing... But that's Kdrama for u haha :D

First two episodes were soooo good!!!!! I usually have a hard time getting into action/thriller genre, but this one really hooked me from the start. It's darker than expected but so far the graphic violence isn't too much for me. Also the child actress of Jeong Ji An is phenomenal! Wow, I'm highly impressed. She definitely stole the show for me in the first two episodes.

I'm excited for the next episodes!

Thank you! You found the better site of Google haha XD
Now that I think about it, I believe the FL in recent drama "The Story of Park's Marriage Contract" had a chastity gate memorial stone built for her after she died as a "chaste and honorable" widow.

There is no "actual romance" so far. But the leads have great chemistry and definitely some tension. Their relationship is somewhat between frenemies and comradeship. If there is gonna be romance tho, then the built-up is really good and enjoyable :)

I never expected to enjoy this drama so much, but I'm absolutely hooked!

The chemistry between the leads is delightfully chaotic, and I'm loving every moment of it. Despite sharing a common goal, they each take different paths to achieve it.

And what's refreshing is that the writers didn't compromise the intelligence of the leads so far. ML recognizes FL, even in disguise, because he can put two and two together. Recognizing her eyes and voice. Which is often overlooked in disguise plots and dumbs down the characters. So it's a pleasant change from the usual trope where characters are inexplicably clueless.

While I'm totally in for romance, I equally enjoy the camaraderie and frenemies dynamic between the leads. I’m really anticipating how their relationship will unfold in the upcoming episodes :D

omg the twist... starting ep 4 I thought father-in-law is protective over his daughter-in-law and a loving husband to his (tho evil) wife and then by the end, he seems to be behind Kang Pil Jik and is maybe the ultimate villain?! That's really interesting! I'm curious if he had something to do with his own son's death or with FL's missing brother...

It was FL's brother's name on that paper roll of the three dead people, right?

I wasn't sure what they meant with "chastity gate", so I googled it... wrong decision lol
I think what they mean in the drama is definitely not what comes as search results in Google hahaha

It's already airing today? Why did I think it's gonna start next week... well, I'm excited! :D

Love how they seem to be teaming up now, even while both are in disguise haha 😂 Also is it just me... but there is quite some sexual tension when they fight against each other lol

LOOL Her response to her mother-in-law's killer stare after she stepped in the mud was just hilarious XD
Covering her eyes "I am afraid the sunlight might be blinding your eyes." hahaha

I want to see him so bad as a ML in a romance drama T-T He's gorgeous and a great actor!
But still excited if he agrees to star in this one. The cast is amazing :D

Listening to the OST right now on repeat ~~ This drama has such a beautiful soundtrack! ❤️ The songs feel as calm and warm as the drama.

Even though I also wasn't fully satisfied with everything, pls don't let the negative comments and reviews scare you off to watch this beautiful drama!!! Try it for yourself, enjoy the journey and form your own opinion. The acting especially of ML was splendid :D I'm so sure you won't regret it!

Thank you so much! Listening on loop now too 😂 It's beautiful~~

I don’t know why, but I feared until the last episode that she would sleep with Jo Han, because of the cheating in the Japanese version 😂 
Especially after she got drunk in ep 16...
Even tho they already broke up and it wouldn’t be cheating anymore, I just hated the idea of her doing something with Jo Han to cope with her pain.
He’s too dear to be treated like a rebound. He was by her side as a friend til the end, comforted her and never crossed the line. I loved that about him!

All these male green flags were a delight to watch! Every single one: Jin Woo, Jo Han, Mo Dam, Tae Ho and Ki Hyun.

Also loved Ki Hyun's conversation with his wife:
So Hee: „You pestered me to have a second child so much, so you must help me a lot.“


Ki Hyun: „No, it’s not helping you. It’s just my job as a dad.“


There you have the ideal husband material! ❤️

I need all of the OSTs now!!! Especially the one which Jo Han wrote in the drama. Does someone know the name of that song?

You should give it a go! I would definitely recommend it 😊

hahaha 😂 They should avoid cabbages and doing groceries together! Then their relationship will last forever :P

I need a spin-off of Tae Ho and deaf girl asap! They are so cute! I would love to see how they got together and Tae Ho improved so much at sign language.

I forgot her name. The actress doesn't seem to be listed in the cast?

This was a solid 9/10 for me! I really liked this drama. It felt so calm, warm and peaceful, even with all the melo-drama in the last episodes. No one was evil for the sake of being evil. Every character was flawed and relatable in some way.

As I really loved the writing, I was hopeful to see a more refreshing „solution“ to them overcoming their differences. But sadly it was the typical Kdrama formula with a break-up, time jump and last minute reconciliation. That’s why I can't give it a 10/10.
I just don’t think a break-up and time jump is a way to overcome differences in a serious relationship. Nothing changed and Mo Eun seemed to have a hard time coping in a relationship with a person who's unable to hear...

Anyway, it was a really good drama and I feel relieved that they didn't butcher it up! Definitely re-watch material ❤️

Awww, how adorable that the little boy remembers some sign language and uses it while talking to Jin Woo. Their scenes are so wholesome T-T
