beautiful chemistry and a second chance at life with maturity and beautiful growth as a couple
I really liked this historical drama, balanced and strong. extraordinary chemistry, with a lot of maturity and healthy growth as a couple. I really liked Li Yun Rui, my first time sewing him and now is my favorite. In the last episode, finally saw half an episode in which it shows how they live a beautiful life, without drama and plot, a normal family life. the whole story was different from what we have seen so far, without too many intrigues, separations, reconciliations. is on the first place for me, the second is The double. I wished seeing Song Mo with long gray hair, was sooo magnetic. I recomand this with all my heart.Was this review helpful to you?

Drama for how to act like a imature "woman" thinking you ar a lawyer
FL behaving like a little girl, immature, dumb, people pleasing. Do people really find young adult women acting like a little girl, cute? Is this a Asia thing.I saw this in so many dramas.... I wonder when they become women. Wonder this is really happens in real life???
the way she talks, acts and even walk sometimes is soooo cringe.... the first scene at the office acting like a girl leaving the job as she start crying that the boss was angry at her.... you do this in high school not as a lawyer, not at the office, not as a mature woman.
I don't understand why China and Korea treat women, encourage the FL character to behave like this. Men's like this? It is normal?
Young people learn what from a character like this?
How a man can like or have sex with a woman behaving like a child. She even look like a adolescent. Is like a pedophile consciousness. Cringe....
... she did not deserve him, the ML. In real life a grown man will never choose a girl... imagine you go with a "child" as your partner at a cocktail party with all the CEO from the company's you work for...disgusting...
The drama had potential... I would have liked it if it was a grown woman character. It would have been be so different and so catchy.
I remember Donna, from The Suits. It was amazing character. Intelligent, beautiful.
And how can a business CEO can work or hire a lawyer like her.... I would never give my case to a girl. In what fantasy the writer is living. Is that really the real life in China?
and I can also say that the screenwriter has few mental problems, I think he cant handle powerful, smart, ADULT intelligent WOMEN . ... all women except the main role are treated badly by men, and behave dumb.
What a waste of time and resources. It could have been a very good drama. I like the ML.
Even if is a drama.... I think this is made for people under 15 creating a immature future, inspiration, toxic point a view.

Supid FL
I am at the 4rd episode. I don't like FL character. Is so strange, stupid, like a psyco. She is behaving like a spoiled teenager who has no contact with real life, like I cant believe that a woman will act like that and put herself in danger situation and put him also in the same spot .... she is so stupid ( for example he is in a entourage of gangsters and she tells him let go I'll protect you... wtf?!! a movie for teenagers who don't yet have developed emotional intelligence. )... and with sexual desires of a grown woman of course... this is so toxic. The music sometimes is like in a sexual movie... a mix of things. A lost opportunity of a good drama. Yes, I get it. Some people like superficial and toxic dramas.
I wonder what is in the head of an actress to play a role like this at 29 after so many others dramas.
Yes, it's not my kind of tea, but I wished to have a good drama to watch.
I cant understand the Chinese women in dramas... Woman child archetype is the real thing there... this mental and emotional state is scares me... like what will be the future of relationships and life.
I like a lot the ML, and also his acting. His character is mature, present. I wished he had a grown partner and a spoiled adolescent. Next drama.

The only turning off you will find is the mess of pathetic FL creates in her love life
The female lead, Ta Mi is pathetic. This was the only thing BAD of this drama. her "love"' behavior. At work she was good but, my opiniona she deserved to be single. or go to a therapist.Good grief, Koreans don't seem to have even 30% emotional intelligence, even when they're over 30 or 35, 38 or 40. They dont know how to kiss at 35, in any drama, they dont know to 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. She’s rejected him a thousand times and she is even narcissistic at times.
He treats her so well, communicates clearly—he’s a total "green flag"—yet she still rejects him. How on earth can someone be so stupid and treat a good man like that—a man who loves and values you, communicates clearly about what he wants, and has a purpose in life?
It’s simply pathetic. These relationships in 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 intelligent 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 masculine toxic woman. She has 0 femininity. I was so sad for him.
There’s a saying: real life beats the movies. I don’t 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 rest of the drama is good, actors, script the second couple is so sweet. I think if it weren't for FL Tami romantic part it would have been great.

The reality of broken family and the meaning of Love in a Family
half of the characters don't have mothers. the others half, have mothers and they are so freaking controlling and toxic, poisonous characters. Girls at 25-26 act like they are 12 years old, and they don't have an answer, a decision , fight back against crazy mothers. Castrated men. Men who have nathing to say. Men who are just there, without any kind of masculine energy and inspiration for their sons.what is this drama trying to prove or inspire?!?!
I feel like I'm dying of boredom by episode 24, and this dull female perspective doesn't inspire me. It scares me. It saddens me.
Ling Xiao mother was a great example of a narcissistic, huge mental problems. As a child if you want to have a healthy life you have to end everything otherwise your life will be hell.
Mental health, toxic family, luck of boundaries.
Harmony and loving family, is yhe way to be open and able to live your life.
It has also cuteness, comedy moments but it was sad to see how children take aduls responsibility and they have to be responsible for the parants that treat them bad to glorify the image of family.
I hope people's watching this to learn and become aware of their mental health, emotional health and to have string boundaries even in the family.

Spark missing & FL acting cringe and exagerate
I just watched the first 2 episode. Was so boring, nothing intresting, nothing new or inspiring.Why is it successful? Because it's cheap commercial comedy, for people who don't need much, or to use their head, creativity, curiosity for more. Is a simple stupid kdrama. In the last 2 years they've lost their spark on doing great or good dramas. Once again it is demonstrated that what is successful does not mean it is also good or profound or inspirational. There are many underrated kdrama, but few people with artistic preference and knowledge, or out of the box, beyond imature behaviour.
Yoon A is cute as a woman, but as a actor is mediocre. You dont see any emotion on her face, does not express any feelings in her acting, is flat. She is the same in every drama. Here you will not find any difference in acting she is like in King the land
In the first episode the FL was cute, but acting like stupid, and also unrealistic even for a fantasy drama. The FL character is annoying, the comedy is so cringe.
However I like the ML acting...
Sorry... I don't know if I will continue. If you will want to give it a try I recommend you to order korean food, a lot of food.
And I would have loved to see Park Sung Hoon in the new drama " The Tyrant's Chef " . He would have been super attractive, seductive, present. He would have been epic as a man and as a power and acting talent. Or maybe it's better, that ML is not that talented and deep as an actress. We will never know.
Korean society is very bad at the chancellery. They are obsessed with control, image, the eyes of the world because they are not connected to them, there is a lot of lack of deep connection and emotional and mental maturity in this society...at least from what I observe in the world of kdrama Kpop.

Low self esteem FL
I cant stand any drama where the FL is presented as stupid, low self esteem and as a victim, luck of emotional inteligence, lick of boundaries with the ex or a brain and acting like a teenager. And all the other women in the drama are powerful and smart.She is a adult woman or a teenager?!
The FL act like a teenager but she has sex, she is adult enough for this. What?!?!

Meaningful. Learning the language of SAFE LOVE
I like that the uniqueness of this drama, love the title that contain all the story. I binge this drama.I'm impressed and liked the deep physiological messages, attachment styles and how to show in a safe way, and in a masculine deep presence, with calm and consistent, and not reactive, for her to heal and to find secure attachment. How to heal, hold both survival strategies.
He told her “we’re gonna break up anyway” the fact that he knew how overwhelming it would be for her to hear “I’ll love you forever” because that would trigger the urge to runaway to avoid having that promise broken. That put the inner critic or protective ego with all the defense mechanisms from fighting to protect . Love how much ML understood her, how she offered space for healing and find herself.
This is what real emotional translation looks like.
I like the chemistry, I find both actors very talented.
I love the cinematography, the locations and the second couple was really cute. Love them.

FL is so disgusting
I can't stand FL, her character. I keep watching because of ML's actors and his character, I like the cases... but FL is a hyena, disgusting, annoying, toxic... I was disappointed with the femininity and what strong woman means for many, as tha drama has a high raiting. Why can't we see a strong, powerful, with integrity, respectful, feminine woman in Korean dramas... hope that they will not get together in the end. He deserves better.But I cant continue, she made me give up. She is manipulative, tramples everyone underfoot to demonstrate her power, interest for mony and her own intrest. And also how betrayed him for beginning, everything built on lies, manipulation without scrupules. He humiliated him so many times.
Yes, I admit is a good drama, I really wanted to see more but she is stress me out.
And really don't understand how people in comments think she is powerful and strong woman. People praising such a behaviour claiming she is inde0endent woman. This is soooo toxic. A woman being mean with a man, thinking that this is strong woman... poeple dont know, research what a really a woman, what really a man is about. That's why the society is where it is.
I dont know if they get up togheter. Hope not. But if is a yes, this is soo unhealthy example to start a relationship, to have values and to have a true partnership .

THE WORST DRAMA OF 2026 Same old toxic, stupid, childish story's
Same toxic parents, behaviors. Nothing special. Old boring toxic korean stuff... FL character is unbearable to watchI wonder if one day they will come with new stories, new perspective and inspirationla dramas... the writers, the actors in general they are not boring with the same toxic stories.
I really cant stand the asian parents... In some TV series, they are obsessed with getting their children into prestigious schools; in others, they are simply destructive—emotionally, physical and mentally abusive toward their children... I just don't know what to think of it—are all parents in Korea crazy and abusive?! And how they still like, forgive stay with their abusive parents.... this FHATER in my opinion should have been reported to the police... The pressure that teenagers have is outrageous... maybe this is why they behave like teenagers in their 30th old as they dont have any chilhood...
The drama has all the patterns that have existed in dramas. Dont like FL character... It doesn't really catch me, she is exaggerating in every move.. there's something so fake about it.
I wonder if people learn something from the dramas... for the better and harmonious relationship and life lessons.
Hwang InYoup I hope to see you in a good , unique drama one day. Hope the best script and director for you, for your look, for your voice, for your deep talent.
Sorry, but I dropped this one after 6th episode, I trie... so many romantic, comedy, disappointed series this year... I hope also koran dramas to become better, inspiring and magnetic ...
update:
I watched till the end... such a DISASTER, was a disaster from start to finish, messy script, wasted couples, useless subplots, and lazy execution. ... the good father has cancer and the bad one no consequence for his action.
I FEEL THIS DRAMA EMPOWERED THE BAD BEHAVIOR THE FALSE TOXIC FEMININE EMPOWERMENT THE ILNESS ALL THE BAD THINKS OF LIFE AS A GOOD THINK.
THE WORST DRAMA OF THE YEAR 2026.

Perfect acting. Be open to see the shadow love and the true love.
This one, is not for everybody. Is for mature, selectiv people, or ones that wants to overcome the toxic relatioships, who wants to go deeper into human psychology, into the complex characters. I liked it, the acting was great. I love Gong Yoo natural acting but also the acting of his collegues. I enjoyed the slow and the time to contemplate the characters and the subtle communication, this was great. Even if all relationships are toxic, with narciccistic and psychopathic characters, it gives you the opportunity to understand the dynamics and to seek healing, love that inspire you, autenthic connection. For me all the movies inspire me to go beyond to surch the meanings of life. And I learn a lot. You will not lost your time. What I want for future kdramas... to introduce the mental education, that is total absent, to help people identify easily the toxic and the healty behavior.Was this review helpful to you?
It's unbearable to watch. Boring.
When I see So Ju Yeon, it gives me so much tension and stress. She is good actrice, but in evil roles, the bad guy. Her face give me this feeling all the times. I cant stand her. it's hard to watch her.Wtf is she, her character, interested in everything about others, in detail, about colleagues, directors... this intrusion scares me... I can't take it, watch it... and all the time it's like she's on the prowl.
in korean culture this intrusion to know what the other person is doing why, how... it's unimaginable how frustrating it can be.
The ML is too good to be part of this mediocre drama. He is so charismatic. When he smiles I'm melting.
Just finished 7th episode. No romance.. ups a failed kiss. No chemistry. The focus is on the job. The FL is crazy, and when he confesses to her, she acting again like a teenager An adult woman will never act like this . The educational system is craziest.
The drama is boring. The Korean schools and culture pressure and stress that children, teenagers endure is unbelievable.
The old teacher, the witch, is so scary... how she manipulates, pressure the students for her own ego. She doesn't have a consciousness, she plays with minds and can traumatize the teenagers ... she does not care about them, she cares about her. She is a fucking red flag. I will never let my child live in an educational system like this or have a teacher like this one.

Cringe FL | adult acting like a stupid teenager
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.
How can you behave like this at your job, as a adult person. Nonono... Why keep going with these tasteless scenarios... I am so fed up with this rubbish.
