this was genuinely good. the writing was compelling enough. the acting was good. the pacing was just right. and it was funny at times. i don't have any qualms as such but i didn't expect the focus would be so heavily on the supernatural aspect which i think is fair enough for a horror drama. idt it needs a second season but im not complaining. side note- i am so glad the "brother in law"(idk his name lol) got a cool role to play in this after being the most aggravating antagonist in squid game.
I'm just disappointed producers are still picking these amateurish scripts in the big 2026. Like can we move on to something that's more interesting? Nothing big really. And the fact that it's lackluster in almost everything else too is funny to me.
honestly i like the cast so much more after this episode. everyone is so different yet so lovable. im fighting back my shipping urge because i know my ships never sail. ughh but anyway i just hope there's atleast two strong couples by the end.
As excited as I am about this one (and shows of this genre), usually dramas like this have unsatisfactory ending,…
This is actually so real and has happened to me so many times it pisses me off. But i still go with excitement when there's anything of this genre. Maybe it's just easier to have a new idea than it is to implement the said idea.
The scene with her therapist, when she was asked what feelings reflects in her emotions watch, and she said nothing.…
right but that’s mostly a giveaway of how that trope usually starts. as far as i have seen, stress is often used as a storytelling shorthand for terminal illness, and she’s showing symptoms too. Add to that how self destructive her feelings are, as she said. Not that I’m sure she’ll be diagnosed or anything, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it actually happens. Besides I want to be wrong too.
I lowkey think there's going to be a terminal illness trope at the end. We are seeing the signs and i won't be surprised if eun-a ends up with a terminal illness by the end. It'll make for a tragic story that I'm thinking they are going for given all the talks about world ending. I think it'll fit the subtext of the story pretty well, that the protagonists are not powerful afterall.
This show is something I would recommend to someone going through tough times. Not only does it uplift you, it acknowledges your emotions. I am in awe at how beautiful it was. We are only two episodes in but this has me contemplating about my life. Honestly, i didn't even look into any technical details, not that I'm an expert at that, but i didn't need to. The emotions were so raw. The characters are so fleshed out that it feels invasive to watch them. This might be one of my favourite protagonist ever. He is quite insufferable but still so charming. I don't think this drama intends to evoke pity for these characters, instead it wants you to see how real these people are. And i respect that. To sum it all up, i am beyond impressed and relieved that I'm no longer in a drama slump after this.
But in most of the k dating shows outspoken and extrovert female contestants are least liked
I think it's more so the preferred trait for a woman there in dating. But here both men and women are awkward. You don't need to be an extrovert to be able to hold a conversation with strangers. And ironically the most quirky and extroverted of them is most liked. So I think it's both looks and communication skills that are important.
I think min ju is my favourite so far. She is so adorable, so pretty aaand she is funny. Comeon. Among men, Yeol might be the most likable of them all. Like what a bunch of clueless men. I've never seen a dating show where they are so focused on a woman that they forget everything that happens around them. I found it pretty rude and ignorant tbh. Girls on the other hand, have different personalities and honestly, all of them are likable. I just hope everyone grows on each other. Right now it feels really stuffy to watch them interact except that kitchen couple(forgot the name haha). I must add the amount of awkward silence is a little frustrating to me but I trust the slow burn.
EUN BIN my GOAT!!! everyone absolutely adores her and rightfully so. so so so excited for this one! im lowkey side eyeing the cha eun woo casting but we'll see.
Another banger of a drama!! I love love this type of genre and I think korea brings the best out of them, be it webtoons or dramas. I just hope it's better than night has come.
this looks interesting, given the lack of enemies to lovers in recent kdramas. im seeing some skepticism around the ml. haven't really noticed him in dramas, kinda forgettable, but his looks suit the role ngl.
side note- i am so glad the "brother in law"(idk his name lol) got a cool role to play in this after being the most aggravating antagonist in squid game.

That said i actually prefer the sml’s dynamic with the fl. Maybe because she feels more likable when she’s around him. Apart from that, is the comedy in the room with us? Hello? It's all crickets, nevermind. Overall, the drama could have benefited from a stronger screenwriter. There are far too many clichés here. And despite all the flashy production, you still end up with a mess of a drama.
Still, I have some hope left, mainly because the sfl's arc shows genuine potential and it's keeping me hooked.
And don’t come at me with pitchforks, ik it’s only been two eps, but that’s exactly why opening episodes matter in a drama. If it can’t attract the audience early on, then it’s the drama that needs improving.
