I just wanna say this to those who are thinking about watching this show for the first time, Don't be discouraged by the random chaotic incidents or behavior of the ML in the first few episodes.
At first it all feels maybe somewhat unnecessary, but in the later episodes, it all makes sense and you would love the fact that they introduced those chaos in the previous episodes. It has really set the mood for these later episodes that we are currently in.

Yes, 8.3 from 8.2. Keep up the good work people, we can take it to 8.5. Let's goooooo

Surely hope so, with ABP getting too much attention, many people kinda slept on this one. Now many are coming back and watching it. Hope the rise in the ratings keeps going.

Dang it!! I can't wait for the next episode. I just keep re-watching ep 10. It's like a newly-formed OCD over this show.

Wholeheartedly agree, the marketing was honestly abysmal, among other abysmal decision-making. Had it not been the case for the initial horrendous rating of 6.7, by now this probably would have crossed 8.5 pretty easily. But, there is still hope of reaching 8.5 if people here keep supporting this show, the way everyone right now is.

Exactly, we may not help increase the rating directly, but with positive reviews and discussions about various aspects of the show, we can certainly influence it over time. For now, let's keep the fire alive like this in the comment section.
After the show has finished, Hopefully, I will make a detailed review of this show. Although it's got great reviews already in the reviews section.

I think so far, this one has been a very underrated show. The viewership is low in numbers and I don't know, maybe they promoted it poorly. Also, the initial rating after just like 1 episode (it was like 6.7) didn't really help. After that initial huge dip in ratings, it was obviously difficult to get it back to where it's now.
But we fans, let's try to make it popular here at least. IMO this one deserves that at least. I don't know if we will get the ending we deserve, but we can say that in terms of Acting and Music and really The Feels, this one is very much worth watching.

Lovely Lady, really pretty. I first saw her in the Korean Odyssey, then Love with flaws, after that, became a fan. And after watching Mad For Each Other, became even a bigger fan. Bless you.

He is so good looking, and looks Crazy young for his age, wow!!

Yeah, the background music of this show is golden. I have a tendency to focus on background music whatever show I watch. This habit formed when I first started watching anime when I was much younger, my first one was "Rurouni Kenshin", it had some of the best background music. After that searching for them on the internet and downloading them, or keep playing the episodes over and over again became a habit, whether it's anime, hollywood movie or for the last 6-7 years, kdramas.

True dat.

True, great ost. I really loved the background music in this episode. I mean, it's like all of a sudden, in one episode, they decided to go full Super Saiyan mode with the music, one musical jump followed by another beautiful one.

In ep 10, with the background music during Noh's flashback to his painful memories, during his contract termination with Shin-ah, during Noh's run to find Shin-ah after finding the yellow diary and during Shin-ah getting into Noh's office to pack her stuff, and Of course the dope OST during Noh's sleep attempt, the overall Music really went God Mode. So many beautiful musical moments in just one episode.
I just keep re-watching those scenes for the beautiful music.

Tbh, after the ML and FL got into the relationship, it became quite boring for me, I mean, after that, it didn't have any other story to offer, any mystery to solve or anything. But that's just my take, Personally I will give that show a 8.2

I love love love the fact you loved it, thanks.

Could very well be the case for next episode. Noh has had trouble with dealing with his emotions regarding Shin-ah. I mean from his perspective, she is someone who wasn't good at her job (according to his crazy high standard, especially regarding coffee). Now he wants someone who is crazy good at her job as he is at his, predominantly because he is all about efficiency, which is crucial for making more money, something that he thinks as important, due to struggle with money in his early life (all those things have also made him oblivious towards her struggles with life and work, not just her but pretty much everyone who works for him). On top of that, she tried to kill him, not really kill him, but through his perspective, it's attempted murder, as he didn't really have all the information. On top of that, she is pretending to be his fiancée. All of these incidents have really made Noh vary wary of Shin-ah, and he really had a hard time trusting her.
On top of all the things that I mentioned, he also can't trust Segi, who basically betrayed him, and his past regarding his loved ones leaving him one after another, either dying or abandoning or betraying him. So, He is an emotional mess, which was obvious, as you pointed out correctly, by looking at his back and forth, flip flopping behavior towards Shin-Ah in the last 2 episodes.
This show has done a good job of keeping things interesting between the two leads, in most rom-com dramas, you would have seen couples completely in relationship by episode 7-8, and many would lose interest in the later episodes. This one has kept the ML FL tension alive. There is more room to grow for this show in the upcoming 6 episodes, especially with the attempted shooting scene that was shown in ep 1.

Yap. The scene came out of nowhere, and really blew me away. That was, I think the pivotal moment for this show. I mean, I don't think anybody expected that scene at that moment, such a short scene yet portrayed very intense whirlwind of emotions.

I think Ep 10 was the best one so far, at the later part of the episode where Noh has a flashback about his loved ones always leaving him, that was pretty painful to watch, the music at that time really did the scene justice.
It came as a shock, at that moment, I wasn't really prepared for a scene like that. It was so sudden, I was really caught off guard.

Thanks. I still rewatch it from time to time, did just last week. It's truly that kind of a show.

So far it's a 7.9-8.2 drama (First ep 7.9, Second one 8.2) . No way a 6.8. Are people even watching it before giving such abysmal rating at such an early stage. I mean, 14 more episodes left. This ain't an 8 episode drama.
