Different cast, with same awful story. Overrated.
This one is slightly better than Season 1, mostly because of the cast change. The new FL feels younger, brighter, and more cheerful, which makes the overall drama a little easier to watch. The chemistry between the leads also feels more natural at times, and the younger energy of the cast gives the drama a fresher feeling.But unfortunately, changing the cast doesn't fix the biggest problem.
Her personality is still basically the same. She claims to love ML deeply, but somehow it is always ridiculously easy for her to get close to another man and end up in his arms whenever there is a misunderstanding or conflict. At this point, I don't even know whether to call her innocent or just unbelievably naive. After everything that happened before, you'd think she would have learned something, but apparently not.
The funny thing is that the drama keeps telling us how deeply she loves ML, while her actions sometimes say the complete opposite. If you supposedly love someone that much, why is it so easy for you to seek comfort from another man whenever things go wrong? It makes the romance much less convincing because FL's behavior constantly undermines the feelings the script keeps telling us she has.
The plot itself is also basically the same kind of mainstream romance story we've seen countless times: misunderstandings, jealousy, love rivals, people manipulating the leads, separation, reconciliation, and then more misunderstandings. There isn't really anything new or particularly memorable here. It's watchable, but don't expect an original storyline.
Another thing that stood out to me is how many kissing scenes there are. There are so many that after a while they stop feeling romantic and start feeling like the drama is using them to fill screen time and fan services. A few well-placed intimate scenes would have been enough, but the sheer amount makes some of them feel unnecessary rather than meaningful (just like a short drama).
The drama also has quite a few scenes that seem to exist mainly for humor. Some of them are cute and can be entertaining, but others feel completely unnecessary and don't really contribute anything to the plot or character development. They make the drama feel longer than it needs to be, especially when the main storyline is already relying on repetitive conflicts.
I did appreciate that this season feels a little more entertaining overall. The new FL brings more energy to the scenes, and there are more moments where the leads actually feel like a couple instead of constantly being separated by unnecessary drama. Some of their romantic interactions are genuinely sweet, and the lighter tone makes it easier to get through.
The side characters aren't particularly impressive either. Most of them are clearly written as obstacles for the main couple, so instead of becoming interesting characters in their own right, they mostly exist to create another misunderstanding or jealousy plot.
OVERRATED !!! If you enjoyed the first season, you'll probably find this one slightly more entertaining. But if FL's behavior already drove you crazy in Season 1, don't expect a miracle here. The face may have changed, the energy may be brighter, but apparently the questionable decision-making skills are still exactly the same. So honestly, I wouldn’t recommend either this one or Season 1, and I definitely wouldn’t rewatch them.

Another drama that completely ruins its own storyline because of the FL’s awful behavior.
SPOILER ALLERT !!!The story was actually going pretty well, and the acting's are mediocre. There’s nothing particularly special about this kind of mainstream plot, but at least I expected a drama like this to be better than those cheap vertical/short dramas with the exact same kind of story.
Then we get to the middle of the drama, and the FL proves that she literally learns nothing from her mistakes. She gets fooled again by the woman she considers a trusted friend, and then gets herself involved with another disgusting man. After everything she went through because she trusted people too easily, you’d think she would learn her lesson. But nope. Instead, she keeps trusting other people while completely ignoring the person she supposedly trust and loves.
After everything ML does to protect her and show how much he loves her, and after FL herself admits that she has deep feelings for him, how is it so easy for her to stop trusting him and believe random people and cheap gossip instead?
What makes it even more ridiculous is that she gets deceived and manipulated multiple times into giving ML milk that she knows causes his allergies, yet she STILL trusts that ladyboy who is obsessed with her husband. At this point, I honestly don't know what to call it anymore. Being naive is one thing, but this is just unbelievably stupid.
FL claims she has deep feelings for ML, but then she so easily wants to separate from him. And during their argument, she goes off drinking and ends up in another man’s arms. You’re telling me she loves her husband so deeply, yet when they have problems, she can just get drunk with another man in the same room? That's not innocence anymore. That's just plain idiotic.
(I know this conflict was added to increase the screen time of the second male and increase the duration of the drama. But isn't there a more creative way to extend the duration? With the same plot, it feels like another mainstream cheap drama.)
She already got deceived by her ex-boyfriend before, yet she still chooses to trust another man she barely knows, who at that point is nothing more than her business partner. Seriously, how ridiculous can this character be? When she has problems with her husband, she would rather run into the arms of some random man she just met instead of even going to her own mother.
Yes, FL eventually ends up with ML, but honestly, that doesn't make the whole thing any better. The disgusting behavior between FL and that equally disgusting man who becomes obsessed with her simply because she happens to be the twin of his former lover completely drags this drama down.
At that point, it starts feeling just like those cheap dramas where the entire plot seems to exist because the writer had some questionable fantasy or wet dream they desperately wanted to put on screen.
Apparently, FL does the exact same disgusting thing again in Season 2. And honestly, what an irony. After everything that happened, she STILL doesn't learn anything.
So yeah, neither this drama nor its second season is worth watching, let alone rewatching. There are plenty of ways to create misunderstandings and relationship conflicts, but making your FL this unbelievably gullible and repeatedly throwing her into the arms of other men just makes the whole story frustrating and disgusting rather than dramatic.

NO difference with season 2, SAME PLOT, same disgusting shameless FL.
I watched the second season before watching this drama. The stories aren't actually related, except the main leads are the same actors.HOWEVER, THE PLOT IS THE SAME!!!
GETTING OVER AN EX, HAVING A PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIP WITH WITHOUT ANY EMOTIONAL CONNECTION, EVEN THOUGH ML HAS LONG HAD FEELINGS FOR FL. FL BEGINS TO DEVELOP FEELINGS FOR THE ML, BUT STILL MAINTAINS A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER EX. FL IS PORTRAYED AS AN INDEPENDENT AND ASSERTIVE WOMAN, BUT WHEN SHE'S WITH HER EX, SHE'S ALWAYS WILLING TO BE CARRIED AND HUGGED, VERY WEAK. THE STORY OF FL'S PAST HELPER IS THE ML, BUT THE EX TAKES THE CREDIT.
SAME PLOT, SAME MAIN ACTORS, WITH THE SAME FL CHARACTER, THE DEPICTION AT THE BEGINNING AND THE BEHAVIOR IN THE STORY ARE VERY CONTRADICTORY, STILL THE SAME AS THE SHAMELESS AND DISGUSTING FL WHO IS NOT LOYAL AND CAN COMMIT TO ML.

Disgusting shameless FL. What a good drama.
FL is DISGUSTING and DOESN'T DESERVE to be with ML, he is too good for FL.ML tries hard to love and commit to her, even refusing to let other women touch him. Meanwhile, FL is like a prostitute, not resisting being touched by other men. She even continues to have relationships with other men especially her ex bf, until the end of drama, she still keep in touch with her ex, even almost raped by her ex, and she didn't blame him, certainly didn't report it to the police. Because FL considers her ex to be her savior, when in fact, it's ML who's helping her. This is the concept of an independent woman who pretends to be independent but isn't smart, and refuses to even investigate small matters like this.
Just because of one person's words, she immediately asked for a divorce from her husband, without receiving any explanation, what an i d i o t. FL is just a s t u p i d, selfish woman who cares about herself. But after ML helped her with her work and showed his true identity as a billionaire, FL shamelessly still stuck to ML, even though at the beginning she hid her marriage because she didn't want to be seen as getting a position because of her husband and wanted to be independent, it was really inconsistent. what a B I T C H. Don't forget FL's shameless friend, who always sets FL up with other men and encourages FL to divorce. But after finding out that ML is a billionaire, she sucks up to ML. What a joke.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
