If they wanted to show that he was thinking about the FL, that blind date should have ended right there. But it didn't as he didn't give a clear no to a second date or to trying her cooking.
The ML is way too slippery. 😟 He honestly disappointed me and I really liked him until that date.

The ex is also thinking about the FL while he's with the other woman. Sure, the ML didn't go that far, but he still went on a date with someone else even though he kept saying he was in love with the FL.

What was that blind date in ep 15? Why did the ML even agree to it? He spent the previous episodes telling himself that he's in love with the FL. If that's true, then why go on a blind date in the first place?

He should have left immediately, but instead he stayed, agreed to a second date, and even agreed to try that woman's cooking. I'm a little disappointed, to be honest. It feels like he's "nice" to every woman. I wanted to see him give a clear and definite no—not only to that blind date, but also to any future dates.

How many exes are we talking about here? 😂 If the ML has no exes while the FL has more than one, I'm probably going to skip this one.

Our Universe was a horror show for me. It felt like the FL wanted both the ML and the SML, and I can't stand that kind of love triangle.


In Dynamite Kiss and Positively Yours, it was crystal clear that the FL had no romantic feelings for the SML. There was never any doubt about who she loved.


What annoys me about Dynamite Kiss is that they could have given us such a great second couple, but instead they completely wasted that storyline.


I hope we don't have Our Universe kind of love triangle here.

That's exactly why I switched to short dramas and vertical dramas.🙂. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I like handsome, powerful MLs who actually have plenty of screen time and play an important role in the story. 😀 What's even more frustrating is that many of these long dramas are heavily marketed using the ML, only for him to be practically nowhere to be seen when it matters most.

Yes, but the first 2 you mentioned have very little or no romance.

It's not available in my country either. I'm still hoping that Viki or Netflix will pick it up. Otherwise, I might give the MangoTV app a try, although I'm not sure whether their English subtitles have improved enough yet.

An average show overall. By the end, the ML was barely present, and I ended up skipping most of the final episodes because of it.

Honestly, I'm getting tired of these "independent, strong general" FLs while the MLs are reduced to sidelined characters just to make the FL seem like the only competent person in the story. I'd much rather see both leads portrayed as capable and strong, working together as a team while being deeply in love and devoted to each other.

Thanks. I'm buying Express. I like this kind of HE😍

I saw there's an article on MDL with an interview with the FL actor. Did I understand correctly that it's not just the costumes and setting that are Western-style? Are the story and the relationships between the characters Western as well? If so, I guess I'll skip this one.

I thought only the costumes and setting were Western-style. Is the story and the relationship between the characters Western as well? If so, I guess I'll skip this one.

Just finished it and absolutely loved it! It was incredibly satisfying to see justice finally served. I'm really hoping we get a S2.

Just finished ep. 1, and it was so good. It was incredibly satisfying. I wish real life worked like that too, and that these monster students got what they deserve. He really deserved it. If he had stayed in a position of power, many more people could have died because of him.

I just binge-watched this, and it was so good. The storytelling, the love story — everything felt emotional and meaningful. I cared about most of the characters, not just the leads.
And can we talk about the FL? She was so feminine, warm, and caring. You could genuinely feel how much she loved the ML and how much she was there for him. At the same time, she earned her own living, was financially independent, and became very strong by the end — without being annoying or acting superior.
Nowadays, it feels like many FLs are constantly fighting everything the ML does or says or are so focused on their careers that the real love story ends up being between the FL and her job. What happened to K-dramas lately? Why does it feel like we’re getting more shallow storytelling and increasingly frustrating FL characters?
Bring back emotional storytelling, strong relationships, and characters that actually make us feel something.

We almost had that with Our Universe. I just hope that in this one, it’s clear from the beginning that she only has feelings for the ML.

Does Ming Gi get a love interest in this drama, like a SFL? Is there even a SFL?
I haven't started the show yet because I'm worried there might be a love triangle like in Dynamite Kiss. The second leads were so wasted in that drama, and I really don't want Ming Gi to end up the same way.
At the same time, I don't want a love triangle like Our Universe, where the FL had feelings for both guys. I hated that aspect of the show. It was one of the reasons I didn't even watch Last Summer.
To make things worse, I have to resort to piracy just to watch it because Disney keeps sticking to its ridiculous release policy, and the show isn't available in my country.

Well, isn’t that one of the reasons we watch K-dramas — to actually see the characters "get there" (marriage) on screen? Wasn’t that part of the charm of K-dramas? Watching them overcome obstacles, finally get married, and show unconditional love for each other in the final episode?

Shouldn’t love be unconditional when it’s supposed to be the love of your life? Because at no point during this show did I feel the FL had unconditional love for the ML. She kept putting up boundaries and keeping him at a distance, and that’s not what you do when you truly love someone. Honestly, I never felt like she genuinely loved him. When exactly were we supposed to see her love or tenderness toward him?

Her face only seemed to light up whenever she saw the SML — even during her father’s funerals. And in the flashbacks, she actually seemed warmer and more affectionate with the SML than she ever was with the ML. Meanwhile, she looked at the ML more like someone she found interesting or amusing — almost like a funny pet.

And regarding weddings and happy endings — that used to be part of the charm of K-dramas. It doesn’t have to be a huge wedding like King the Land (which was beautiful); it can be something smaller like Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and still feel just as satisfying.

A mediocre show with an equally mediocre ending. I just didn’t feel the romance at all. The FL didn’t seem to truly love the ML — she treated him more like a pet than a partner. The only person she seemed to have genuine feelings for was the SML. She showed more emotion around him, even during her father’s funeral.

The show started strong, but after ep 5 it really went downhill for me. No romance, no butterflies — just a pet ML and a robot FL.

I don’t know what’s happening with K-dramas lately, but it feels like they’re losing what made them special. There’s less romance, no weddings. Why can’t we get weddings anymore? Or maybe even children and those happy family moments?

In Romania, it doesn’t show up in next week’s lineup either. I guess they still haven’t learned anything from Perfect Crown. They only released it here on May 20, and even though most of us had already watched it on other websites, it still became the #3 most watched show on Disney in Romania. They are losing viewers because they don’t bring romance dramas to Romania. They did the same with Would You Marry Me, In Your Radiant Season, and others. Instead, they keep pushing the Korean shows produced by them, which never make the top 10 here.
Meanwhile, Netflix seems to understand the market much better. Sold Out On You and My Royal Nemesis are both in the top 10 here.
