ML is a walking red flag. Not even her revenge near the end can save this relationship for me. Since it is a drama I can be a bit forgiving but if this was real life there is no way I would support anyone I care about in staying in a relationship with a person like him.
I hear a lot of good things about this drama and it has been on my watchlist since i sawthe announcement. But…
Yes and no.
The drama goes through their entire lives, you see their children grow up, getting married and having kids. They stay together the entire time.
Unfortunately, as people get older it is normal for one to pass away before the other. That is why I cannot say this has a happy ending but it is not like it has a sad ending either. I would call it a realistic ending instead. Bittersweet just like real life.
I thought about dropping it a few times in the first few episodes, probably because this is not the sort of drama you should binge-watch, but decided to push through it. And I understand why it has such a high rating.
For anyone who was born before 2000, I’m a 90s kid, this will be super nostalgic and relatable. We all went through similar experiences in our childhood or have 1 or both parents that sacrificed a lot so they could give us what they couldn’t have.
Ae Sun reminds me of my mother and I can see myself and my generation in Geum Myeong.
Even if you are younger than 25, you might still enjoy it. Ae Sun and Gwan Sik’s love is just so beautiful. I’m sure most women would be really glad to have a Gwan Sik in their lives. Who cares about arrogant CEOs, give us more Gwan Siks.
It gets better. So many twists to come. Eps 18 and 19 will leave you speachless.
Yup, I also like romance in my dramas. Hopefully their marriage will become a real one, but so far it is pointing to a possible tragic ending with the ML being ill and all the enemies he has. Let’s hope not. The FL deserves to be happy after going through so much.

I guess they went for a more dark, full of twists and schemes kind of plot. The romance is there but is not the focus. They get married in episode 20, it’s just that their marriage is more of a business transaction than a marriage, they become partners so they can help each other reach their goals.
I stopped expecting this to focus on the romance after watching a few episodes. Him having been married to her sister and already having a daughter hinted at this not being your usual drama. I came for the romance but stayed for the twists and turns and the smart and strong main leads.
I mean, this is not a bad drama BUT there is a reason why the rating is not great. There are many reasons why but I can think about 2 main reasons:
1 - Lots of backstory and flashbacks but no real interaction between the main leads for most of the drama.
They first interact in episode 7 in a drama that has 10 episodes. For anyone who was able to watch this while it was airing, that meant watching this for almost a month before they were able to first see an interaction between the main leads. Even the slowest burn romances out there are jealous of this one. lol
(This might be a bit of a spoiler) 2 - I don’t know if I missed something but there was never any sort of explanation as to why these things kept happening around her.
Was she cursed? Maybe, guess we will never know. Leaving such an important part of the story out might be one of the main reasons why people were left disappointed.
The best mother-in-law I have seen in a short drama and one the best in all dramas I have watched. The main leads also have a great relationship.
My only complaint is that since the main leads are already in love from the first episode and are married early on, the plot ended up focusing most of the time on the villains and other secondary characters.
i love a good redemption arc but throwing it at the very end after the grandma has been so despicable... chief…
Exactly. If they were planning to do this they should have made her a little less despicable. It was not believable or realistic the way she changed so fast.
But the drama as a whole was flawed and cliché so I was not suprised they did something like this. A good drama to watch if you are looking for a light romantic comedy but there was nothing new about it to make it stand out. At times it even felt like a plot you would get from a 2010 kdrama, kind of nostalgic. ^^'
I think that's the exact vibe the writers were going for. Zombie comedy
True. I guess for people who don‘t like depressing stuff the deaths here were less hard to stomach. I have a very broad range of genres that I like. One day I will be watching a fluffy romance drama and the next horror or a super dark drama. I would say my personal preference is something that is well written, with good acting, good editing, good music, something that makes me want to watch the next episode.

Probably. I just prefer zombie content to be more thrilling and scary with small momements in between where they explore other themes like comedy, romance, friendship, ...
Here it felt like they added way too many characters and explored way too many subplots instead of trying to make something consistently interesting that I would want to watch every week. I watched the first few episodes and had to put it on-hold because I knew I was going to skip a lot of scenes and just wanted to wait for all episodes to be out to skim through it.
The second half was actually not as bad as the first one, but still not a good zombie drama by any means. This was on the same level as those intentionally silly American zombie movies you would watch 15-20 years ago.
This is not a good comedy nor a good thriller. They tried to be good at both genres and ended up being below average instead. Should have just chosen to do one or the other.
Watchable if you have nothing better to watch, I skipped a lot of scenes and almost dropped it several times.
I am not sure how I feel about the FL actress being only 15 years old…I know the character she plays is supposed…
There is no romance so...nothing inappropriate will happen. As long as they did not make her film for many hours a day, nothing wrong with her not being an adult yet.
This was a pretty obvious attempt to copy the 2022 drama Reset. A failed attempt I must say.
The plot, characters and even subs are nowhere near as good. I guess if you have nothing better to watch you might like this. If you like the concept but want something with a better execution, watch Reset instead, in case you haven’t yet.

2) they officially start dating by the end of episode 18 but the ML confesses his feelings for her several episodes before that
3) nope, the FL rejects him at first for reasons you will see but once they get together they never break up
4) YES....with a wedding and everything
