If you’re planning on watching this drama do yourself a favour and avoid reading too many comments beforehand because it can honestly ruin the experience.
For those saying they should have left the romance out and focused only on the chocolate… I feel like that completely missed the point. The message was never just about chocolate itself, but about the love, care, and emotion poured into creating it , and how that connects people.
The romance wasn’t forced, rushed, or overdone. It was subtle and just right. And I actually appreciated that they didn’t rely on unnecessary sex scenes or kissing just for the sake of it. Sometimes less really is more, especially with Asian dramas (which sadly can lose that charm since Netflix started put their hands in them , adding things that don’t add to the story🙄).
And seeing Shun and Jin together again? They’ve both grown into some very fine men… 😊
This drama started strong, then everyone suddenly became allergic to common sense. The plot turned into pure chaos, with characters making the dumbest decisions possible. By the end I was beyond annoyed , not just at the killer, but at the people who deserved to be killed for their stupidity. Who casually walks around alone doing nonsense when there’s a killer on the loose? Brain cells were clearly on vacation 😑💀
After reading the comments I thought na it can't be that bad so I decided to give it a go. What a waste of time 😭😔😭.
I actually never bothered with kill Boksoon after reading some reviews, now I'm here watching it (a lot of fast forwarding) to see which one is the worse 🥹
It's an insult to compare this to the Squid Game , and honestly, Squid Game was overrated anyway (couldn't even finish it, that's how boring and predictable it was).
When it comes to survival-game films and dramas, Japan is still the undisputed leader.
This series had some of Japan’s heaviest hitters, and every actor delivered brilliantly. I’m giving it an 8/10 only because I wish there were more episodes! 😁
So far it doesn’t look like there will be a Season 2, but let’s hope they change their minds😕
The plot was weird, all over the place and a mess, but I still kept watching it to see how far the mess would get and it got worse but still finished it 🤣🤣
Shin Hye’s acting has come a long way since her early days in *You're Beautiful*. You can really see her growth and maturity in this role.
The plot started off strong, sadly Kdramas still suffering from love syndrome plots; they eventually had to weaken the strong female lead in the name of “love.” Honestly, this was one of those dramas that really didn’t need a romance subplot. It would have been just as good, if not better, without it.
That said, it was an enjoyable drama overall. Not too heavy, easy to watch, and visually pleasing. A nice choice if you're in the mood for something light but engaging.
Your review was spot on!! He needs to move on to only fan of maybe adult movie industry because he is absolutely awful as actor ( I don't see what some women see in him 🙈)
I'm not sure if my opinion is related to me watching this drama 4 years after it was aired but I have to disagree…
You are absolutely right, it was over hyped probably because of the male lead . It has taken me two months to finish this and this was through a lot of fast forwarding.😔
Out of the 20 dragged episodes i probably enjoyed 3 ☹️

They don't make good drama like this anymore 🥺
Don't watch it if you are pmsing or going through breakup.

He is relying on his 'sexy' image, probably that's why he is not bothered about his acting 🥴
