I'm not reading all that. You just proved my point, lol. It's not that deep. And in my 2nd comment I wrote that "People are free to have differing opinions..." Love the show or hate the show, doesn't matter. No need to all caps yell at me.

I couldn't have said it better myself! I watched several months ago, but I vividly remember giggling and smiling from ear to ear with each episode. People are free to have differing opinions, but the mass hate and hyper-fixation on the rating was so OTT that I left my original comment.
Like you, I gave it a 10/10 having REALLY enjoyed the drama.

Woah... this comments section has changed DRASTICALLY since LR first aired, lmao.
Went from: 🥰🧚‍♀️✨🌼
To: 👹🤬💥🔪

I’m the opposite, I tend to overanalyze shows I’m watching lol. Glad my response cleared things up. :)

WHAT IS THIS PICTURE?!?! I literally spit out my drink wtf!? This guy is actually a cutie, but his new pic is giving serial killer's mugshot energy. 😵‍💫

Honestly, seeing how 99.9% of comments are lauding this movie, I completely get where you're coming from. However, the final straw was the scene in the van where the villain was going to be paid to film videos of him SAing kids. My stomach just dropped and I stopped the movie. I'm happy that you enjoyed it though! Different strokes for different folks. :)

Seeing how everyone is commenting about LOVING this movie, I'm going to go against the hive and say that I was really disappointed with the final product. And this is coming from someone that really likes KWB and Jason Kim works! With the one hour's worth that I saw, I wasn't really picking up on any bromance between this pairing. (Something that was palpable in both Midnight Runners AND Bloodhounds.) The comedy didn't hit its marks. And the "big baddie" was too disgusting. *sighs* Even the action scenes in the first half (cuz that's all I saw) weren't really doing it. The ML would throw 1-2 punches and it'd be over.
*I swear I'm not trying to be a hater. I just wanted to give my 2 cents.*

They did cut her scenes and gave her a weird sending off mid-way through the drama that didn't make a lot of sense, BUT the new "female lead" they brought in to replace her was spunky and fun. Which IMO made up for the abruptness of her (KSR's) departure.

She looks like the FL from Perfect Marriage Revenge in the poster to me, lol.

OOOOOOHHHH~~~ new poster alert!!! Looks really cool! :)

I treat melon posts with intense skepticism, buuuuut any release date news is good news for this drama! :)

Decent movie for a one-time watch. The better version (IMO) following the same premise of a former spy turned housewife/husband is Okay! Madam.

Thank you! <333

UGH I forgot how good this drama was! Glad that even the second time around it's A+! :)

Will do after it finishes airing. :)

Got it, I'll probably wait for it to finish to make sure that I'm not jumping into one of the many BE Xianxia's, lol.

Valid response, thanks. I usually do wait for shows to complete anyways.

With less than 10 eps to go is this a yay or nay?!?

Myth. This article reminds me of indie music listeners that get pissed off when the niche artist that they "discovered" starts gets mainstream traction. Then they start hating on that poor artist for getting popular and being a "sell out"... *eyerolls*

Here's the thing:
Cliche dramas are always rinse and repeat of the same formula. But unlike "older" drama viewers that have experienced that feeling for the first time X amount of years earlier, newer ones will experience it with whatever 2024+ drama they start with. AND it's preference some people don't mind starting a show that'll be deliciously predictable if they like the stars or just want a lighthearted rom-com.

I'd be writing an entire essay if I wanted to rebut each of your points so to sum it up: KDramas have a charm of their own. Oh, and Netflix isn't the devil here to ruin dramas for us, lol. *shrugs* it's not that deep.

Seeing how I didn't have the original novel to refer back to (unlike you and other book readers), I just felt a disconnect between the quality we were given in the seasons. S1 was excellent, genuinely I had no complaints. Whereas, S2 felt rushed with choppy editing, and a (IMO) forced final pairing. If anything, having heard about the dream sequence being real in the original book, that's the thing I wish they'd followed through on! Rather than CX choosing the throne over her. *eyerolls*

C'est la vie. All things considered I didn't feel as though watching these 62 episodes was a waste of time. It was still quite enjoyable, flaws and all. Besides, the original source material is around to soothe the remaining wounds.
