Too heartbreaking and violent
I almkst dropped at end of epiosde 2 because of how tragic and heartbreaking it is,but kept watching and it didnt improve in that aspect. I can deal with like sword fighting and dying like that but just being brutally punched OVER AND OVER AND OVER like im sorry no i cant watch that. And to see the poor people get starved,beaten to death and treated like garbage? No. And the old man who hung himself because his family starved to death like this show is not for the kind of heart. If you are calloused and hard from watching a lot of stuff like this then go ahead but if you have a kind heart and dont like to see people getting treated like this for episode after episode then i dont suggest it.Was this review helpful to you?
Ridiculous plot
No chemistry between leads, the dude is poisoned and they didn't bother looking for a cure even though they know he will die from ot they keep investigating a stupid case instead of curing him first. Just too unbelievable. She believes he killed her dad with no evidence at all....then she accidentally poisons him which made no sense as he was already locked up...Then the two leads are married and hes even dying but yet they dont kiss or ever be physically intimate? YEA RIGHT they would be trying to spend as much time together as possible. The whole show is spent wasting time instead of looking for a cure. Man im on episode 17 and i think im gonna drop it. We havent even gotten a single kiss from a dying man and the love of his life and nothing makes sense...they jist keep adding a bunch of deaths and more and more layers for the supposed "case" idk if ive just watched too many dramas at this point that i cant even be bothered unless its like a 7+ star show. And this is a 5 so far. Not even worth my time.Was this review helpful to you?

Drawn out storyline
I just watched this in 2026 and to be honest, I'm not really sure where all the rave reviews came from. The story was okay. But this really could've been done in 30 episodes or to be honest, even 20. For me, there were way too many side stories like all the scenes with her roommates lives,and the parents lives and just everyone's lives like we watch these shows for the leads and usually the second leads, but they were just way too many stories going on here.I fast-forwarded.I can't tell you how much. For me there was not enough romantic scenes between the leads when they finally got together. There were like 2 kisses and they werent even like passionate kisses or anything. I kept waiting and waiting for them to reallly seal the deal but they never did. And she really just agreed to date him so easily like i didnt see enough convincing and coaxing etc she just kinda accepted it when she had never thought of him like that before? Kinda weird. And they REALLY didn't need to add the story line about the second brother falling for her as well.That was really ridiculous and like how do you even go back to being brother and sister after you admitted that you liked her as a woman and wanted to marry her , etc , that's just freaking weird...anyway it was just okay but way too drawn out. Wouldnt bother with a rewatch and wish i could have my 40 hours back 🤣Was this review helpful to you?
Not very memorable
I finished this a few weeks ago and cant really remember much about it because i watch a lot of dramas but if it was really good i would remember so it was just average i would say. Its storyline was too similiar to another show i was watching with the same male lead called "kill me love me" while i do like this male actor there wasnt enough to keep me interested in the show. It started off pretty good then got boring and repetitive of other dramas, I guess i give it a 6.5 outta 10 . Theres always the trope about being poisoned and having to be a shady spy gor the cure. Like come up with something else writers.lolWas this review helpful to you?
Great but too many flashbacks
I like that this drama showed that life isnt a fairytale,but they did get their happily ever after. But for me the male actor carried the show, female was beautiful but was very cringe and awkward to watch on some scenes but it could have been the writers vision and he told her to act like that idk. Another negative besides the cringe moments from the FL is how many FLASHBACKS they put in the show. I swear 40% of the show is flashbacks. They even do a flashback of something that just happened in that very episode...like its not like we forgot what happened 15 minutes ago writers... if you add all the flashbacks it would equal atleast 8 episodes 🤣. I know a lot of shows do the flashback thing but this show is way too excessive in that aspect. Also did anyone actually care about the grandpa sideplot? Because i found it boring and fast forwarded and it seems most other people did the same. Not sure why the writers felt the need to add that in and it really took up a lot of scenes too so its not like it was a small side plot. Anyway ive already rewatched 3 times and i dont really re-watch shows,i did fast forward all the flashbacks and grandpa scenes though 🤣 This show did make me cry of happiness and fullfilled what a love story should really be like though i will give it that! Now if only real life could be like the way he loved her :(Was this review helpful to you?
Its alright,nothing special
It was alright but a little slow. Im used to wuxia dramas with alot of martial arts and sword fighting and stuff so this ones a bit slow but I love Liu Yuning so ill watch the whole thing. The beggining and the ending episodes were great but the middle episodes were pretty slow. Also not to be mean but the female lead,while her acting is fine, her voice is so annoying, she talks like a baby and is so quiet even when shes mad and stuff its unrealistic,i wish she would talk in a normal voice not that baby voice. I personally would not add to me rewatch list,but hey i guess everything cant be a masterpiece. I give it a 7 out of 10 and thats a bit generous.Was this review helpful to you?

HATED IT
I went into this not knowing that there were 2 seasons actually, so I thought there were just 10 episodes. The female lead held on to her pride and ego and was cold towards the male lead the entire time until about 15 minutes before the very last episode ended and then she ran away with him from her engagement to another dude.So she decided that she wanted to be with the male lead only to literally leave him waiting for her at a port that she had promised to meet him at after she said a final goodbye to her dad. I've never hated a female lead as much as this .... She was so infuriating! No matter how many times he told her how much he loved her and literally, he said, "I'll be your servant, you have my heart and soul etc", that still wasn't enough to convince her that he really loved her, she literally had no reason to believe that he was fooling around with her, he was always so sincere anyway. It's not even worth watching the second season because of how infuriating she is, and I just am so heartbroken for the male lead like he thought he was finally going to have a future with her, but she turned around and went back to the other guy, I understand that she didn't want to leave her, dad behind but she could've sent for her dad later. It's not like she would've never seen her dad again. That was not a valid enough reason. shes literally such a horrible character, and whoever the writer is honestly the worst writer I've ever seen, and I've watched hundreds of K-dramas, and hundreds of Chinese dramas, I've never seen anything like this show. I don't understand why everybody loved it. Also its freaking sad because their servants were in love too and now they just dont get to be together because of her idiocy??!! And whats with his singer friend who freaking never wanted them to be together since the beginning? Is he freaking secretly in love with the ML or what cuz he was jealous ever since the FIRST time he saw her with the ML and he even gave the ML a dagger that said my beloved or something,that was the dagger he later gave to FL am i right? What a creep...being in love with your super good friend??!! The the FL was in love with her BEST FRIENDS MAN for pretty much all 10 epiosdes!!! Are you kidding me??!! To be honest idk why ML would want her when he knew she was a skank,he saw her trying to steal her best friends dude and just kept chasing her anyway.... Dude if youre in love with your best friends dude and actively try to trick him into kissing you and falling for him etc then you are a horrible human being. Why is no one writing about this in the reviews??!! She had been dreaming about ML for so long but his face was always blurry so she didnt know who it was and when she found out it was ML you would think it would be the turning point like youre litterally dreaming of your soulmate and you found out its the guy chasing you but yet you still dont forget about your BFFs dude??!! WHO WROTE THISSSSS...if you hate misunderstandings,pride,ego,never saying what you really feel,pushing people away even though you are falling for them etc FOR HEAVENS SAKE AVOID THIS SHOW AT ALL COSTS!! Who would want to watch a second season of this chick??!!! Ive never written such a bad review on here you can literally go and check but this was a complete dumpster fire i only kept watching cuz google said it was a happy ending but i didnt know that was at the end of season 2 😭😭 the only reason i dodnt rate it even lower is because of the cinematography,the voice of the singer and the MLs lovely smileWas this review helpful to you?

Really enjoying it
I get what people are saying about her baby voice,i also hate it but i just look past it. The visuals are amazing its like a feast for the eyes 🥰🥰 the funny thing is there are so few shows that i have found so visually appealing and one of them was MJTY which also has esther yu 🤣 she wasnt as bad on there though because she plays an assasin. Anyway the male lead is so perfect for this drama like his sharp jawline and perfect hair makes every scene so beautiful. Her outfits are so freaking gorgeous and even though its so unrealistic that she can have a new outfit everyday and look so perfect i just love how they dress her up in the show shes literally gorgeous. I love his bad boy persona too im just wondering why hes not fighting anymore? They only show him racing lol but anyway i hope the show isnt like the novel PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE 😭😭😭 i rate it a 9 for now because unlike most modern cdramas i havent had to fast forward AT ALL like every scene is watchable and not boring. Yes they made her too unbelievable learning how to drift and drive so easily but its whatever they always do that for the leads. Like the male lead is a fighter,a racer,gorgeous, a genius and also not a playboy....come on....🤣 but for the visuals and how they didnt make us wait 25 episodes for the romance im keeping my review at a 9. I'll update it when i finish it if it doesnt deserve that rating anymore.Was this review helpful to you?

Take a shot every time they hug
Started off pretty well the just got too unbelievable. So you know there are murderers trying to kill your family and gf but you dont have a team of police officers stationed in their homes and around their jobs? Or atleast the male lead who was a police officer should have stayed and worked from home on the case to protect her. But nah they just kept getting attacked and dropping like flies. Thats so unbelievable and the amount of times the leads said each others names and stared into each others eyes blankly and hugged was so annoying. If you took a shot everytime they did that you would be hospitalized. Also the male lead was ok on some parts but his blank/brainless stare was really hard to watch. Idk if dude had plastic surgery on his nose but it was so distracting. I almost dropped it but didnt. Wouldnt reccommend.Was this review helpful to you?
Its average
Just finished watching it was a pretty average maybe slightlybelow average drama.male lead was handsome but not great at acting. Female lead was alright. Cliche storyline. I only watched for the age gap but they made the male lead like way too perfect. So hes a pilot,speed moto racer,inheritor of a huge company,anazing cook, plus the absolute perfect boyfriend?riiigghhhtt. Not really rewatchable. Would only reccommend for someone who loves age gap dramas and is bored with nothing else to watch lolWas this review helpful to you?
Boring
I watched this because i love age gap dramas but it was super boring,dragged on and there was no chemistry between leads. They went with one seggs scene when they got drunk which looked oretty cringe i guess cuz it was his first time but the looked very unnatural in those scenes. Then after that they only pecked here and there and never shared a real intimate kiss. Im sorry but what romance drama doesnt show a real kiss scene? It was 38 episodes it should have been 16 episodes like a kdrama cuz they could habe told the whole story in those episodes. The amount of eoisodes where literally nothing of importance happened was insane. And they dont even get together until like episode 30 or so i dont remember but yea i kept waitong and waitong for the romance and it just did not come. They dodnt show the wedding either. Idk why i even finished instead of dropping but i know by like episode 10 this show was not for me. I liked both leads well enough they jist didnt work well together at all! I wish i could get those hours of my life back. Luckily i fast forwarded through the boring scenes which were FREQUENT so i didnt waste toooo much of my time lol. I wouldnt recommend this show even for like when you have nothing else to watch because it just frustrating and boring.Was this review helpful to you?
horrible, even for a mini drama
man this show was just horrendous...The first, maybe 7 episodes were okay, intriguing even, but they really drug out the divorce thing until even the last episode...she made no sense why she wanted to divorce him when they were so in love. like nothing about the show made sense. I watch these mini dramas where a lot of stuff doesnt make sense but this was too much. it was just horrible writing. its something that honestly never should have been released. someone should have laughed at the script and ripped it up. and the fact he was forcing her to make out and stuff when he knew she was married(although he didn't know she wasn't really married to that guy) but he THOUGHT she was and he kept saying "I know u like me so just divorce him and choose me". YUCK so hes a cheater. guys never get with someone like that it just shows they will cheat on you too. I know its just a show but I dont watch cheating stuff because its just too wrong and disgusting. anyway even putting that aside it was just a joke of a show. I had to fast forward so many parts that were just way too cringe.total waste of my night.Was this review helpful to you?

Best kdrama ive seen in a long time
So I honestly have not seen a good k drama in a while. I saw that this one came out a couple years back and the trailer looked interesting so I gave it a shot, and I'm so glad that I did, I binged the whole show in 3 days. I was hooked from the first episode. The storyline and the plot were amazing. I loved how you never really knew if the suspect was who you suspected or not. And I'm glad it turned out to be someone that we really did not expect in the end. I was so happy to see that they changed the future. And I just really thought that was so beautiful. I would definitely rewatch again. The only thing I didn't like about the show and why I took one star off was because the male lead just seemed way too old for the part he was supposed to be early 30s, I believe, and he looked like he was 40 or mid, 40s almost, and I guess I'm really used to dramas where there's a huge height difference, and the fact that they were the same height and he was old was just really not up my alley.. like I kept wishing he was younger and taller because I could not see them in a romantic way because he seemed to be 15 or 20 years older than her and it was just weird, but I also didn't like the fact that there was not even one single kiss in the whole show. I'm all for slow burn, but there should at least be one kiss in the show. So I also didn't like that , and another thing that was kind of annoying was when they were trying to convince the grandpa and the cop that they were from the future , why didn't they just show their cell phones and the laptop that he had brought in the beginning like that literally made no sense....🤣 but other than those 2 things it was the perfect show!Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing
I really loved this show. I've actually watched 2 times in a short period of time. The first few episodes were extremely cringe worthy with Lusi trying to act like a teenager. But actually the way that she was acting seemed more like a fifth grader or something. It was just really weird, but once you get to episode 8, where she's in college, it starts getting more. Interesting and less cringy and then it becomes a beautiful love story. Her voice in this show is reallt babyish and annoying though i will say that. Ive watched her in many other shows and i dont remember her talking like that.Was this review helpful to you?
Realistic show
I liked this show because it's not your average Happy-go-lucky k drama. I really connected with the 2 leads and how they had a bad life and were unlucky and stuff and on top of that, he turns out to have a terminal medical condition that causes him to die young now that is real life. There's usually not a happy ending in real life. Yes, I did cry a lot, but in its own way these types of shows are very beautiful. I would suggest everyone to watch it. The male lead has a beautiful smile and really lights up the screen.Was this review helpful to you?
