This drama is driving me up the wall. It's so bad. No one shows any emotion. š¤¦š¼āāļø I'm gonna drop it at EP 14. And the actor already did a similar plot in Because of Love, which is a little bit better. Watch that and don't waste your time on this drama.
I didnāt hate this drama, but I didnāt love it either.
My biggest issue was the female lead, Mi Seon ā I never really connected with her, and her chemistry and demeanor with the male lead and her family feels flat to me. Another issue is the overly dramatic obstacles that our Typhoon Family meet each episode, like it was a bit too much, imo.
On the positive side, Tae Pungās mom is wonderful(LOVED her), and Jeong Cha-ran (the Hongshin Trading owner) absolutely stole the show for me . Sheās such a bada$$ and honestly one of the highlights of the whole series.
Overall, itās watchable and fine if youāre out of things to watch, but there are plenty of stronger, more engaging dramas out there.
I really enjoyed this drama. The romance between the male and female leads wasnāt always front and centerāit stayed more in the background in the second half of the dramaābut it worked because the rest of the story was genuinely engaging. It was refreshing to watch something where the romance didnāt have to carry the whole plot.
Finally, a new drama, even though I wish he would leave Channel 3.
"The next project weāre preparing is āTawan Luangā. We have Gulf Kanawut starring alongside Kao Noppakao. So next year on Channel 3, weāll have quite a few series where lead actors go head-to-head. And we also have Yaya in this one. Itās a story where everyone will be curious to see who ends up paired with whom. Itās definitely an interesting project."
Made it to episode 5, but Iām already bored. I was hoping for a fun, fresh story about two strangers meeting in a crazy, unexpected way, but nope, itās the childhood connection trope again. I just canāt get excited about that anymore. On top of it, Iām not feeling any chemistry between the leads, so thereās nothing keeping me invested. š¤·āāļø I'll put the drama on hold and revisit it someday.
I get why some people had issues with it, but honestly, this drama still really worked for me. The found family aspect is heartfelt, the friends(one-sided love)-to-lovers arc is a true authentic slowburn, and the friendships at the end of the drama feel deep and lasting. If youāre hesitating, Iād say give it a tryāyou might end up loving the quiet emotional payoff as much as I did.
I'm in the minority, but I dropped this drama at ep 8 and probably FF thru most of those 8 eps. I just felt really disconnected from this drama. It's too bad because I like WC as an actor, but just wasn't feeling it at all.š¤·š¼āāļø
lol just another drama with a lower rating and complaints that I really enjoyed . It's a throwback to old school kdramas with a lot of fun moments that made me laugh. Kind of refreshing, imo, considering how I've been utterly bored with the majority of 2025 kdramas. š¤·š¼āāļø
I really enjoyed this drama, but Iām still processing that ending. Strangely, Iām kinda, sorta actually okay with it, even though I usually hate loose endings that arenāt neatly tied up.
The male leadās final words could be read as a setup for a second season, but even if that never happens, the still montage at the end gave me enough closure. To me, it suggests they might end up together, and if not, since the story, even at the very end, kept emphasizing the age gap and boss-employee issues, I still like that both characters are finally open to love again.
Whether or not the main leads have a future together, I loved their journey and how it wrapped up.
So glad I didn't watch this. I can't stand baiting with romance.
Iām not a fan of baiting either, but the main coupleās moments together have been top tier. Watching their relationship grow has been such a pleasure, no matter where it ultimately leads. I only wish more K-dramas gave this much care to building relationships. Even if they donāt end up officially together, or thereās no season two, Iāll still feel at peace with how their story concludes.
But I get it, if one is into shipping and a sure-thing romance for the main leads, then this drama might be a frustrating watch.
Also, I want to say that the second leads' romance is a done really well, so all is not lost on the romance front, imo.
The best thing she can do is take herself and her annoying -a$$ husband , move far, far away, and never come back. If there is a second season, I want her long gone. Good-bye, biatch.
This makes me salty. š I hear this all the time from American showrunners -the couple was never meant to be…
And I don't blame them for being dissapointed. The handkerchief smelling, the marriage cosplay, and the glowy moonlit rooftop convos? Like, it's pure baiting just to keep viewers tuning in each week. Been there, done that before, lol.
Well, we still have two eps left, so let's see what happens, lol.

Sure, it works in a show with multiple seasons, but in a 12-episode show? Thatās just baiting the audience, imo. They could have explored a mentor/mentee relationship in a million different ways, but nopeāthey went with the marriage-cosplay route. Lol.
Nothing dramatic or over the top happens in this drama, and thatās exactly what makes it so beautiful and appealing. Two stable, easy-going people meet, fall in love, date, and simply live their lives haappily together. Thatās it. No unnecessary angst, no heavy baggage weighing down the story. I truly wish to see more romance dramas like this produced in the future.

So Gulf, Kao, and YaYa??...interesting
I probably will now watch a few historical cdramas becuase I know no current modern romance drama is going to top this one for me at the moment.
