I don't remember the exact episode because it's been a while, but I mean when the best friend hated the ML, but the FL also got influenced by her, and she was mad and ignored him for a bit. This was all before they started dating, but I know it happened for sure, and it really annoyed me, especially since he had his personal life more together than the FL, even with the kid and everything.

Sadly, it's like this in so many other dramas, too. Like, for example, I was watching Love Scout and the FL spent a whole episode hating the ML for having a daughter and an ex-wife. So much of Korean culture needs to be changed for things like this because every time I see Hyeon Ju, I feel so sad for her. The only people who've seen her as who she is and not just a divorced single mom are Seon Uk and Geum Ju, but after thinking about it for a while. That scene in episode 10, when she cried after Seon Uk's sister cut ties with her, broke my heart. She deserves so much better. At this point, I wish Seon Uk would cut ties with his sister, and they both just get together.

Honestly, same. I'm just watching the whole show on 1.5x speed, but even with the second leads' story, we have another toxic character... Seon Uk's sister! I hate this character so much; she's literally dragging down the entire show. No empathy whatsoever to her so-called best friend and the brother she raised like a son. She's such a hypocrite and a horrible friend, too.

I don't think she's necessarily bad. My guess is that she's somehow related to the nurse who died and wants revenge on his dad, and maybe at first followed Ui Jun to get revenge, but slowly realized it's not his fault, and he's not like his dad and he's suffering too, so she decided to take care of Ui Jun and take revenge on his dad separately while also helping him. Her behaviour towards him just seems TOO nice to be a bad guy, you know? It's like maybe she saw him as a replacement for whatever the dead nurse was to her, and he sees her as a replacement for the parents he never had.

I'm loving the story so much! I love how they incorporate both romance and action. It's rare to see a drama that has a good balance. As someone who loves fights that have you sitting upright (those Bollywood-type fights, iykyk) as well as romance scenes that have you giggling and kicking your feet, I am SO glad I finally found something I love so much. Also, this is the first project I'm watching with like all the main leads, and I love all of their acting so much, can't wait for the next episodes.

Am I the only one who doesn't hate that the main leads met before the show, and he already likes her? Sure, them meeting and falling in love together would've been a cute idea, but this is good too. It's giving the same vibes as a noona romance when you have a hyper bf and calm gf. And I'm excited to see how their relationship develops, like how we see him bringing out a more cheerful and romantic side in her, and her helping him improve himself by being more level-headed and calm, and both of them helping each other heal from their pasts while they excel in their careers together. I just wish there was no love triangle but I guess there's no drama nowadays without one.

More like the cooking time was wasted on a side dish (the Sapporo arc) that nobody wanted, needed, or liked.

Agreed. The whole subplot felt like filler with no real addition to the show. The show could've easily been 8 episodes, and they could've made YYS's "cameo" an actual cameo by just putting him in for one episode for the jealousy effect and to stoke the embers of the main leads' relationship. If they did that, I think the rating and viewership would be MUCH higher.

Surprised this is a 16 episode drama. Most dramas nowadays are 10 or 12. I'm currently on the second episode, and I just hope it stays interesting like it is now and it doesn't flop like a few other dramas I've recently watched.

I had higher hopes for it, but it was a good show. I liked the comedy it had compared to the drama and heavier themes you get a lot more nowadays. I'm glad they didn't give the mom a shitty redemption arc and have his family hug and cry over the food and make up like i expected since so many dramas like this do. 9.0 stars for me, could've been better but I still like it.

I know! It's getting to the point where it's almost painful to watch. Now, I'm watching every scene she's in on 1.75x speed just to refrain from throwing my laptop across the room!

Does anybody know if this drama had any episodes cut? While watching, I felt like there were a lot of rushed scenes, and there was a feeling of gaps in the plot. The development of a lot of subplots and the main lead's relationship in some parts also felt a little rushed, and the only possible answer I can come up with is that there were some episodes that were cut post-production, and they did their best with what they had to piece it together.

I don't really get the hate on this one. Although it's not a good choice if you're looking for something deep with a lot of meaning and a good plot, it's a great pure fluff drama for watching when you just need something to pass the time or brighten your day. I liked the development of the romance between all three couples. The main lead didn't have any misunderstandings or fights and showed a healthy relationship. If you want something that's lighthearted, doesn't need too much attention to detail and memory, and can be used as a pick-me-up when needed, this is perfect.

Not just that, but she's being a huge hypocrite! In a previous episode, she complained to the SFL about how her mother-in-law is rude to her just because her husband couldn't marry someone better, but she's doing the same thing! She literally even started hating on and attacking the FL when she only guessed that she was with the SML, with no confirmation whatsoever.

went from domineering CEOs to movie directors in the span of a few years

Although the ML gets a little controlling and possessive around the end, it's mainly due to his past experiences and his inexperience in dating and living a joint life with someone else. He actually learns his mistakes and makes an effort to apologize, so the FL forgiving him is well deserved. I loved the time skip ending, for some reason, it makes so much sense for the characters to get married like that. Overall really good drama and is totally worth the watch.

Thank you!! I think I'll give it a try.

Is this worth watching? I've seen a few edits on tiktok, but none really show the plot, and I'm a bit on the fence because there are a lot of other things I could watch too. Also, if someone could tell me like the main genres and which ones are more subtle, that would be great because I tend to like things with more romance and comedy, along with a bit of mystery and suspense. But if it's mainly just like action, I might skip. Please help.

I never thought about it that way, but you're totally right. I feel like I would definetly be more pissed if they put the main leads through more conflicts or give them a stupid misunderstanding since we've already been through the ex part and they had that big misunderstanding in the past which already caused them to miss out on like 6 years (i dont remember the exact number of years). Thankfully, they're making it a wholesome and healing adult relationship and making the second couple the one with problems. Thanks for the extra perspective!
