Boring.
Started watching this movie because FL won the best actress award. I've seen her in other dramas, where for me she has no talent at all. I wanted to give it a chance. I realized that no, is not better. Just a frighteningly thin body and a girlish behavior in all roles I don't consider her a talented actress. She can wear sexy dresses, but she doesn't own those either, her behavior is so strange... I never considered awards, because they started to be subjective. If she is a good actress I feel sorry for all the talented actresses in Korea. There are so many other absolutely talented actresses. And so much praise for mediocre.Plus this movie is boring. Not because is slowly as I like slowly movies . Doesn't have salt and pepper. I don't recommend it. You can relate as is a real life story and may resonate with you. a chapter of a love story, which closes with a chance meeting in the future. But honestly, I was left with nothing, in terms of insight.
Yap, is not my kind of tea. Story, actors.
It remind me also of the movie Past Lives from 2023. This one is great, slowly, mature, and deeply emotional exploration of love, fate, and longing. Honest storytelling.
The original cdrama me and them one is better. Invest your time in a good movie, a good drama. Give your time to better, to real acting. Surch for cinematography, for talent, for art.

Zero chemestry, worst drama that I ever whach
no chemistry between any characters. no connection between them, effectively nothing connects in this drama. everything seems unrealistic in a good way, new subject and comical sometimes, so many good actors in one show... I was so curious ... but you don't get with anything, you don't learn anything, you don't hope for anything. I kept hoping that would get better, but I've reached episode 8 and I'm terribly bored. I can't even see them kissing. everything is forced and toxic. no emotion, no connection, no feeling to convey to the public. ML and FL have nothing in common. I watched till there for LMH, that has a great acting in Pachinko and I really want to see him again in a new and diffrent kdrama. I hope for next one he will choose a good script that suits him and his talent and hope for a good chemestry with a FL. without chemistry you have nothingWas this review helpful to you?
The same annoying story
I'm so tired of this story, when the girl finds that ML father was involved in a accident and broke up. WTF HAS TO DO THE FHATER MISTAKE WITH HIS SON... her reactions was like he killed someone. So disappointing of her ...I was ready for a clean 10.
I was happy to see finally a FL mature, direct and smart in Chinese drama... but this...
I cant stand her parents. Her behavior was terrible in 23-24.
I cant stand this crazy, toxic behaviour.
I don't blame you for hiding the truth from me? No one is obligated to share their pains and intimacy on the table during their first dates.
and if you love someone and leave them or blame them for what someone else did in the past, that's not love, that's not intimate connection. that's childhood.
shouldn't I have fallen in love with you? this is most disrespectful to say to the man that you supposed to love. The words are unforgettable...
How about his pain, his father died. And her speech was like he was the killer.
She does not deserve Him.
But I can say that their chemistry is PERFECT.
I loved her behavior till 23rd episode.
A Fl that is acting good, she is very beautiful, perfect for this role and mature, not a spoiled teenager emotional shit thing...
Cant stand the SFL, she looks like she is on drugs all the time, like she is dead, and the stepbrother was cute in a way but awful...
hope one day to see a beautiful, mature drama with healthy mental and emotional behavior and new innovative story.

Best couple of the year
superb chemistry, the couple of the year 2024 for me and loved the OST, I really liked it and I was glad that I saw it all at once. I love the kisses scene, finally a FL that know yo kiss and be in a lovely, mature scene.The last episode seemed to be from another kdrama. They need to rewrite it. I liked the beauty of it but Argan place... why when you had so many things to unfold and to show to have a great finale.

started magnific but become a childish bad comedy
when a woman doesn't trust her man, she disempowers him, castrates him.This was beautiful for me at the beginning... but... yap the same shit, patterns over again. Slowly feeling so disappointed. I' m at 27th episode. She become so entitled, total unrealistic. Love the characters, the chemistry , the acting, it is a great crew , but...
She is powerful but if you see deeply she disempower her husband, the army, the leader. I did not like this at all. It became a bad childish comedy.
What she did for him in episode 26, like sedating him, "out of love and care" that's fake love. It is attachment, it is a subtle inversion of roles that mimics love. It is the greatest trap of disempowerment.
Ooo, she, weighing 40 kg, fought a 120 kg barbarian and won... I'm laughing so hard at this... Superwoman.
ohh and of course she discovers who he is and here we go again... she is upset, run from him... I am so fucking tired of this kind of script... as in Love between Lines (this moment ruining for me everything also)
in all honesty, i completely believed in her strong feminine character, it was a great example for me at the beginning... but she started to disappoint me a lot...
from 10 it drops slightly to 7, for me.
I will still watching but not with the same enthusiasm as at the beginning.

When adults are afraid of children, it will be the end of society.
A very good drama. You won't have even 1 minute to be bored. Good acting from all the actors. The emotional energy that ML transmits trough his eyes is powerful. For the first time in my kdrama watching i like FL shouting . it's nice, and her form of expressing, has a deep psychological understanding.It's called a fantasy, but I'm afraid is not. Many may say it's exaggerated. yes, some phases are exaggerated, to have an impact, because I always believe that Life beats Film. All fantasies are inspired by reality.
But I think not many people, especially teenagers, will not understand the seriousness and what messages are being sent through this drama. When adults are afraid of children, it will be the end of society. yes, because more are actually disconnected from their soul, values, connections need, many of them are superficial, don't have real knowledge and the hate grows more and more.
I think we are slowly we are heading towards a society without integrity... absolutely adrift... I wished to have this inspection Team in real life in all the countries.
And people that have values and integrity, and care for the communities will be so powerful, valuable, like as a luxury product.
Korean society scares me. the perfect world that they want to seduce us... for me it's started in the last months to crumble. now i understand why the suicide rate is so high in korea.
in many dramas alcoholism, hatred, malice against children from adults for certain mistakes, bullying, and in reality, on social platforms in Korea... from anything from such simple, small things... not knowing the truth. people, young people, teenagers do not realize the gravity and pain they put in society... probably this is the moon and suicide in the world of celebrities... I don't even want to imagine what happens in normal life, among ordinary people.
I recommend this drama. I wish they will make us a surprise, announcing a Part 2.

Super cute and adorable chemistry
Second time I watched this cute drama and and I really enjoyed. I loved ML, is the heart of the series. He is a excellent actor and has a beautiful smile. I did not get bored at all, so much happening, drama, comedy, art, thriller, crime and great messages. I enjoyed the dance between ML masculinity and FL femininity. I liked her calmness, grace had in everything. They had a great chemistry.Was this review helpful to you?
Great and healty kdrama.
If you want to watch a romantic drama with depth and charm, this one is a must. Emotional support, mature behavior, a good example of a good relationship. A healthy and inspiring drama. a good example to be a father and to choose family. The power of your choice guides you on the way to connection and union.Love can heal everything.
Love is Aliveness.
One of my favorites. Simple. Beautiful. Deep. Great chemistry between leads. Will definitely watch the movie again. ♡

Lovely, diffrent kdrama.
I really loved it, one of the most beautiful, funny, emotional, pure dramas I've seen. it touched my heart . Magical soundtrack. Finally, I saw a supportive, loving family, who support each other with gentleness, attention, love, I liked them very much, without crises and yelling as we are used to. they touched on sensitive subjects, including this immense discrimination that I see in Korean society, but led to understanding, transformation. This series brought me a lot of emotion and joy. I highly recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?
I avoided watching it at first, but it was worth watching.
The STUPIDEST, pathetic police officers in history. I wonder how they become polices. I'am not and I have more detective skills that they. I realized more than they did, in the first moments. They dragging the drama down really badly.It was a good drama, that kept me engage till the end. I liked the story but it was nothing special. I did not like the FL health in this drama. I was horrified by her skinny body, legs. How man find her attractive in this drama is a mystery.
I like the ML, he played well and it was a good detective. My fisrt time seeing him and like it a lot. The chemistry between actors was good. The killer, and kim dong jun was super good also.
I dont understand the title, but I was satisfied.
Even if I wanted a bigger twist in the end, I still recomand this drama. You will be surprised.

If you stop at 10th episode is super cute
This series is so beautiful if you stop after 10th episode. The last 2 episodes are like from a diffrent drama, did not match with anything before.... scarry, stupidity 10/10 it ruined all the beauty, connection, romance build before. Like they have hired another writer but was the warst writer on Earth.The writer completely erased their personality and maturity, their sensuality, their previous connection and turned them into puppets. It was so hard to follow until the end. Grotesque.
Disappointed 10/10
I love their chemistry, romance, love, comunication in the first 10th episodes. 10/10

Masterpice acting from JCW
I love the development of Tae Jung carachter till the end. The acting was masterpiece from JCW and DKS is a promising actor. He has good taste for villains.I watch this for JCW. He is so handsome and very talented. Hope to see him also in others genre of dramas.
Although, did not remain with nothing after. No insight, no learning, nothing emotional just fights and adrenaline, and the taste of revenge. What was the point ... i will never rematch because for me it was to much violence, and once is enough.
Wonder if people who like this kind of dramas see trough the lines see beyond the "movie" and understand that this is happening in real life too, maybe worse. I gave this high note just for acting.

Mostly Boring
the drama had a good start. At first I liked the story and I was so curious about a nice family drama, without screaming . I like profound, meaningful messages in dramas. I thought that will be the case here too. But as episodes fly I got bored, the character Hong Dae Yeong, as a Teen was unbearable, like a stalker, insistent and only considering what he was missing, he had no overview for his family wishes... it felt like a stalker, it was everywhere and not in a likeable way. Even with his daughter, for me was irritated, lack of boundaries, insisting. stalker. So many things that where not a good example for mental health and harmony. Hong Dae Yeong actor as an adult didn't have any chemistry with the FL.The FL character was so strange also... she was always understanding, calm and in a false way... she suppressed her emotions completely. but with her husband she was not understanding... the ML literally had to give up on his dream to be with the FL and his babies, he worked his ass off and was humiliated daily at work and everything she did was to nag him. the lack of communication was unbearable... and in the end I did not felt that they learn something from...
Did not like that the FL did not support ML dreams and encourage him in life.... instead she expect ML to support her to do everything for her and she did nothing for him ... like what the fuck... you have to support each-other, to communicate, to see if you can resolve the problems ... etc...
with every drama that I watch and and with my documentation of Korean family and relationship culture, i find out it's mega toxic.... live in a delusion, falsehood, comparison, discrimination, misogyny, control, invation of privacy, loss of boundaries...
I think I finish this for Lee Do Hyun, as I like him. Otherwise I would have given up long before the end.
The drama had also many good moments, some parts with good laugh but I will not lose my time to see this never again.

One-sided love and annoying FL character
I really like Lee Jun Ho in this drama and his role, Yi San, fabulos interpretation. I also really liked Lee Deok Hwa's performance. Very beautiful story that combines reality with fiction. The screenwriter did a spectaculor job. I feel so much sadness, compassion for Yi San and how much he loved her, but was alone in this one sided love. For me the FL character was soo annoying, she didn't love him, did not trust him. She is annoying, and her ambitions were just a fantasy in that world. She was smart but not inteligent. I feel that if she accepted from the begining his proposal all history was diffrent, as many liked her so much and the real life was diffrent in Joseon. Sometimes Lee SeYoung acting is soo fake... at the begining I like her character but with each episode I start to dislake her... I still like the drama, the funny moments, but the lovestory is heartbreaking. I recomanded but I will not rewatch.Was this review helpful to you?
Great actors in mediocre dramas... it seems like it's the new trend...
how can 1ML, a pretty good actor and 2ML with huge charisma to act in such a weak, stupid, fake drama... everything feels forced, fake.. the story is -100.... and I'm only at episode 2. actually, I don't know if I'll continue. I was super excited to see them in a new series. too bad. I don't want to love my time at all ..illogical setting, and the lack of charm or emotional connection, it’s hard to find anything to enjoy or stay invested in.
This drama should be called The Master of Boundary Violation and How to Be the Most Annoying Woman in the World.
A mentally and emotionally healthy masculine man would never fall in love with such a woman.
I didn't like FL character at all. So intrusive, insistent and insensitive. And she's supposed to be funny. That seems to me to be a pure violation of boundaries, of privacy and the drama present this as normalization that she's cute, confident.
The only thing I liked was the images of mushrooms... I love it.
I can't believe how bad most dramas have become.
Great actors in mediocre dramas... it seems like it's the new trend...
