This drama's premise is truly unique and something I've been searching for.
The story is about a young woman studying geology abroad, on leave from her thesis, forced to return home to replace her sister, who is pursuing a career as an actress. For the sake of entertainment resources, her sister enters into a contract to pretend to be dating a mining entrepreneur who is firm and not solely focused on economic interests. Their shared mission of protecting the environment is the key to their eventual love.

I like the characters. The woman is intelligent and straightforward, not the type who is always suddenly rescued by the male lead out of nowhere. The male lead isn't the authoritarian CEO type who is ruthless; he has a human side and makes reasonable decisions. All the supporting characters are not overly exaggerated, and the antagonist commits crimes for clear and reasonable reasons.

I like how this drama depicts academic idealism confronted with the dynamic dilemma of material gain within a company. While it's not a perfect drama (because I noticed many parts were cut), I wasn't bothered by the fact that it seemed like the supporting cast's plots were diminished. Furthermore, this drama has many unique scenes rarely found in other dramas. The only thing that bothered me was, didn't the scriptwriter have any other ideas for revealing their secrets besides having the characters' conversations spied on in public? But thankfully, these were only a few.

Initially, I intended to skip this drama because I felt there were too many plot holes, even halfway through. It turns out all the questions were answered, and the conflict resolution was acceptable. They didn't force to maintain the original situation; they made me realize that it's okay to start something different. (I wanted to highlight this but was afraid of spoilers).

Honestly, I wasn't interested in watching this drama because the poster didn't reflect the vibe it gave off. But after watching it, it turned out that don't judge a book by its cover is true.

8.5/10. This drama is a must-watch if you want to see different perspectives on life that are forced to intersect. It's not a perfect drama, but you can give it a try.
