The cinematografy is captivating. Is not an usual drama. Boring but still watching, curious to see what's happening. Just finished the 2nd episode and in my opinion Cho won and Lady cho dont have any chemistry. At all. Sorry Son Ye Jin but the historical role doesn't suit you; I don't see any charisma. Let's see what's happens. And the acting of JCW is natural and cool... and wtf soo spicy...
In my opinion, Her behavior when they broke up was horrible, immature in every respect. Only children break up, block, disappear and speak so nastily. She treated him very badly; her father treated him badly, too. He didn't know what had actually happened, yet he all assumed he was the one at fault, becouse he has a daughter. And she kept attacking him out of pride. She never tried to understand him.
He really loved her, but he did not know how to show her the love in her langauge. while she just kept hurting him with the projections and perceptions she had concocted in her own mind. Her imature and childish behavior was so unpleasant. Yet he often gave her clear, concrete proo, not just assumptions. His words of actions where present all the time. From beginning till the end, but she just saw at the end.
What a sad story. I feel so sorry for him.
Is so hard to let go to a toxic relationship... the attachments are difficult to heal without help and without realising that you are in this. 23 episodes of struggle toxic behavior and 10% of sensual moments and their smiles, nice moments....
At some point I wished both to find other partners.
Evan if is happy ending, and they have a great chemistry, and are cute togheter I personally find this heartbroken.
I heard that will be a 2nd part. Maybe will see a more mature, funny, healty relationship.
Wow! "... like all the Chinese protagonists they are goid (good) at work but so bad at relationships..."…
Why bother to read and replay to my own comment then...
Everyone is free to share their perspective. Maybe you have to contemplate why is not ok not to like it and say your truth. I am ok with you and I will never say that you are wrong, as is your own perception onthe drama.
Such a toxic relationship... back and forth. I am so bored of this... I struggled to watch till 20th episode... 4 more to go... dont understand why peoplw like it so much... maybe just because of their chemistry or ML charm. But the rest of their story is boring, toxic, imature, childish and with so much luck in comunication and emotional intelligence... like all the Chinese protagonists they are goid at work but so bad at relationships... She is more a Red Flag than He is.
Dropped on ep 18. Tired with Tao's INNOCENT act. Too childish, too illogical.
I did not dropped, but I can agree with you. For me She is more the red flag than him. Beyond the chemistry if you look she is more toxic than him.
His flaw is that he doesn't know how to have constructive conversations, yet he shows her in many ways that he loves her and treats her exactly as they had agreed upon in various situations. In fact, he actually wants the relationship to be public, but she refuses. To me, she is the weak linkânaive, childish, and emotionally immature. Yes, she knows how to speak and get her point across clearly, but she doesn't know how to communicate within a relationship; she acts like an immature teenager.
I would have liked to see him with a mature womanâan adult on his level.
Love their chemistry and the story is cute. I'm at 7th episode. But oh lorddd why the FL is again acting so stupid, childish, imature, and the luck of comunication. I heard he is a red flag, but for me in this 7 episodes she is the red flag.. I am soo tired of this cliche of FL ... I want to see a smart, marure couple FL & ML. Hope I will change my opinion... let's see....
Update: I am at 11th episode and I am disgust by her behavior, imature, she is like an adolescentthat doont know to vomunicate with her boyfriend... I dont find his behavior toxic at all till this episode. He ask her about her plans, and she is always mean, distance, cold... and she is playing the victim. Sorry but the 2 or 3 moments of chemestry doesn't make this drama a good one.
I couldn't get past the first episode. The female lead is uncomfortably cringeworthy, embarrassing, immature and I didn't find anything interesting enough in the first episode to keep watching. Another failure in the realm of Korean dramas... 2026 is the year of most flops.
Why doesn't she report her mother to the police? Why doesn't she kick her out? Why doesn't she hit her back?! What kind of torture is this? Are Koreans masochists?
All the characters in this movie have major psychological issue, psychopaths, criminals, drug addicts. I think they need years of therapy, and even then, many of them will remain crazy.
Koreans won the bullying ranking on the globe. and cant believe that they encourage this. I understand why the suicides are high.
It has become alarming, and this culture is starting to disgust me... it seems that real life is stranger than fiction. Just imagine what itâs like in reality.
Teach you a lesson. This one and many others drama with this bullying subject.. are inspired from real life.
I hate this female lead. she cant act. i just dont like her face.
I'm on the same page with you. I didn't get the vibe with her in *Descendants of the Sun*, either. She doesn't know to act, her face does not express nothing. Maybe the succes here is because she is stoic.
Good grief, Koreans don't seem to have even 30% emotional intelligence, even when they're over 30 or 35, or 40. They dont know how to kiss at 35, in any drama, they dont know ro be in a relationship not evan in a drama.
She has no clue how a relationship works; she treats the male lead so badly. If I were in his shoes, I would have given up on such a pathetic woman. Sheâs rejected him a thousand times and she is even narcissistic at times.
He treats her so well, communicates clearlyâheâs a total "green flag"âyet she still rejects him. How on earth can someone be so stupid and treat a good man like thatâa man who loves and values ââyou, communicates clearly about what he wants, and has a purpose in life? Itâs simply pathetic. These relationships im kdramas are so toxic... Do these Koreans have any idea what a relationship is like at 30, 35, or 40, or do they just stay stupid and pathetic until they're 70?
He is so emotional inteligent at his age, 27. And she at 38 has to remain with her work and that's it. I cant stand this victim mentality.
This is the pattern of a masculin toxic woman. She has 0 femininity. I was so sad for him.
Thereâs a saying: real life beats the movies. I donât even want to imagine what intimate relationships are like in Korea. This ilussuon of childhood relationship is just for teenagers for mature people is gross.
All the dramas this year were set in the countryside. Boring and uninteresting. Pretty much all the actors were super talented, though. A disappointing year.
I hope this series won't be another flop. Ji Chang-wook, I hope you choose quality script and innovation. You are so talented. Cross fingers đ€
The first time I watched this series, I didn't like it. But for lack of anything good (since all Korean dramas lately have been flops), I decided to watch it again and give it another chance.
Yes, it has an interesting, captivating story. Itâs beautifully made, with a superb OST and great actors.
Yet, even now, I don't feel any sense of satisfaction.
There is a total lack of communication; the spouses lie to each other. I found that horrible. This game they playâthis constant emotional immaturityâannoyed and bored me. I would have liked them to be smart and united. Itâs just so much toxicity wrapped in a package that looks nice and pleasant.
Itâs unbearable to watch. So much of a victim mentality, a lack of self-esteem and self-worth, and self-degradation from these two womenâitâs not my cup of tea.
I was gonna watch this drama as soon as it fully air but I was going to start the show I stumbled on a post in…
My opinion is that is the worst drama of this year. A propaganda for female false empowering choosing a career instead of love, partnerships and connections in life. For me is also an ego statement from her. He was there for her to suport her, to work togheter, to love eachother. He reallylived her. Everything was a chaos for me, also the others couples, and the toxicity in this drama is huge. For me was a disappointment. I just watch till the end for ML. I think was so much talent wasted, so many cute and good actors for this bad story. And also I dont see any chemistry between the main leads. I want to erase from my memory this series.
He really loved her, but he did not know how to show her the love in her langauge. while she just kept hurting him with the projections and perceptions she had concocted in her own mind.

Itâs full of psychopaths. Ugh.
Some cute and funny moments but still...
