The show was a little slow and dragged in parts. Nabi was such a boring MC, and Jae-eon was maligned from the very beginning. And I got so annoyed with the word (in)sincere being thrown around

This was sweet and uncomplicated. Like the easy listening of c-dramas with cute, likable, capable characters.

I loved Su Ho, but Bo Nui drove me crazy! While I have yet to see this actress play a character that I didn't find annoying, this character was particularly so

Such good chemistry between our leads. Seriously felt the need to fan myself a few times.

This was such a fun series to watch, though it gets a bit odd after episode 30. The FL/ML were really great together. The SML stole a little bit of my heart, but they ended up crushing that for me in the last 6 episodes. But up until episode 31, I loved it all

So good! Just a beautiful story with beautiful characters

I loved this. So good. Definitely made my favorites list.

The first half was better than the second. Our FL turns into a wishy-washy, hot/cold/colder nitwit imo.

The "gangster politics" was fun to watch. Our ML and FL were both extremely capable people. I really enjoyed it and recommend it if you like action dramas with just a dash of romance

This is not a fast-paced drama, but it is one that moved me.

Such quirk and character. It plays out like an indie film to me, which I loved. While our FL is a little over the top sometimes, she is adorable as is our ML

I had no idea what to expect going into this, but whatever it was this show exceeded it.

So incredible and incredibly sad. Though the age gap between our ML and FL threw me at first, I realized that for him there will always be an enormous gap regardless of his partner. That shouldn't preclude him from ever falling in love. It just wouldn't be fair. After I changed my way of thinking, I became much more okay with their developing relationship. And boy, does he love her. Plus, this show has my most favorite 2nd couple ever: Grim and Sunny. It's worth the watch just to experience their story

There was just something about this show that made it extremely watchable. Loved the ML. Maybe that was it?

Slow-moving and poignant. It gave me all of the feels.

thank you for this question (and all the answers)! these are the things i need to know lol.

My personal c-drama recs in order (as someone also fairly new to the genre):
1. Romance of Tiger and Rose
2. You are My Glory
3. Love Scenery
4. Love is Sweet
5. Moonlight
6. Gank Your Heart
7. My Fated Boy
8. Dating in the Kitchen

I thought this was really cute and had a lot of fun watching it. I loved the FLs costumes. She looked gorgeous throughout the entire drama. And the ML is so, so pretty. That makes up about 90% of his character and I'm okay with that. Plus, I loved the family dynamic. It's nice to see supportive parents every now and then.

I almost dropped this drama initially. The first 5 episodes were hard for me to get through. However, around episode 7 or so it starts to pick up, and after that, I didn't want to stop watching it. It was the right amount of action, humor, romance, and political intrigue, and I really appreciated all of the cast performances.

Really good in a very unexpected way. Went into it with zero expectations (aside from YY) and was enchanted from beginning to end.
