For me, the romance was so sweet that it made me feel nauseous.

It depends on who you ask and on what you find boring. The drama has many fans and, as you can see, high ratings. I would say that there is quite a lot of action, some schemes and intrigues, fight scenes, and a romantic storyline that some people love while others hate.

Things definitely start happening more and faster; there are various mysteries to uncover and enemies to defeat. I think the best thing would be for you to check it out yourself and see whether it bores you or not.

I wouldn’t count on it. Unfortunately, I can’t give you the exact source, but I heard somewhere that the production team announced that post-production would take them the whole year because they’re prioritising quality. So, the second half of 2027.

It is season 1. As far as I know, there are supposed to be 3 seasons.

Your review doesn't contain a single review characteristic; it's purely a rant against people who dislike this drama. What's actually valuable about this drama? A review should include this information. You're complaining that people only give negative ratings at the beginning, yet you also gave it a 10/10 after just a few episodes (just as unfair, don't you think), and you indicated that you'd seen all 33 episodes. Don't you see a problem here? Or maybe you're just a fan of the actor/actress and gave it a 10/10 regardless of the drama's actual quality?

Why are you recapping the plot for me? What, you think I didn't watch it?

"Your" Kim behaved wonderfully, and the scene was perfect—for you. For me, that entire scene was nothing but a display of violence that was clearly meant to feel satisfying, but it was... boring.

And seriously, do you even understand what the word "confrontation" means? You didn't confuse it with "conversation," did you?

And why are you treating me like garbage just because I don't like some mediocre, boringly written Korean drama? Anyway, vent all you want. If it hurts you that much that someone doesn't think this piece of mediocrity is any good, then maybe you'll feel better after letting all that righteous indignation out.

Anyway, I'm done responding to your comments. Bye.

Yeah, except I'm not laughing. It's just not my kind of humor.

I watched this drama a few years ago, and I remember liking it at first, then not so much. I'm rewatching it now, and it's definitely starting to bore me, but my biggest issue is the main couple.

I'm around Episode 6, and it's driving me crazy that the ML is such an insufferable jerk who—together with his precious mommy—has traumatized the FL so badly. I just don't understand how the FL can simply tolerate him after everything he's done to her and continues to do. What, are a few small gestures of affection and drunken confessions supposed to erase all the humiliation and trauma she's been through?

The only reason I'm still watching is their boss. That guy is an absolute sweetheart—so natural and genuine that I just want to give him a hug and learn how to darn socks :)

Well, following your encouragement, I watched Episode 7, and you were right—I regret my previous rating. It dropped from a 7/10 to a 5/10.

I'm not saying this out of spite. It's just that I don't enjoy constant gratification without any real build-up of tension, because it feels like nothing more than an empty webtoon gimmick designed to end every chapter on a cliffhanger so you'll read the next one. The page-turner principle simply doesn't work when you have a 60-minute episode with one of those moments every five minutes. Keeping the audience in a constant dopamine- or adrenaline-fueled state eventually numbs the effect, and what should have been a satisfying payoff—like the confrontation between the two fathers—ends up feeling like just another formulaic fistfight.

Sorry, but it seems we're seeing completely different things in this drama. So, thanks—you changed my mind. It's a 5/10 now.

yes. forced proximity trope, fake maridge, enemies to lovers, found family.

Either like Groundhog Day or Re:Zero. There was quite a bit of the time-loop trope.

Sweetheart, this is my last reply to you. Consider it my middle finger, and forget I ever existed.

Don't drag me into your hatred of shrimp. I was an XZ fan back in 2020, and you have no idea what hell every single one of us went through back then—how we were demonized, insulted, and harassed simply because we dared to like XZ.

Every example of a fandom being "toxic" that's constantly thrown at XFX—every actor's fandom had that kind of behavior. The only difference was that when it came to XFX, it was demonized.

I don't give a f*ck about your hate-filled comments. I don't even know which actor you're a fan of, but am I supposed to judge that actor and all of their fans based on your vile behavior? Have you no shame? Apparently not.

So f*ck off and leave me alone—and preferably leave XFX alone too, because I still have more friends there than anywhere else. Not loudmouths like you, who are utterly convinced of your own superiority—I'm talking about normal XFX fans, and there are thousands of times more of them than there are bad apples.

So seriously, f*ck off.

What’s funny is your statement. The average viewer of this drama from the countries you mentioned has no sentimental attachment to Korean history and culture, or even any knowledge of them, so they watch this drama as an exotic little fairy tale filled with tropes they love. I don’t know what country you’re from or whether your nation has any sensitive issues, but I bet it does — because everyone does. And if someone made something offensive toward the history/culture of your nation, your compatriots would have the right to want that insult removed, regardless of whether that drama was top-ranked in 10 or 50 countries around the world. Every nation has its pride and the right to defend it. You don’t like that? I suspect those more than 50,000 Koreans probably won’t care.

Each season has a separate page, like Joy of Life. If you want it to be the same here, edit the drama page by adding a link to an official source (for example, the series’ Weibo page) where it’s clearly stated that this is season one, and then wait for approval. That’s the standard procedure.

Basically everything. Fantasy isn’t just magic and magical/fantastical creatures — it’s also a historical but unrealistic setting, like fictional kingdoms and fictional kings. So basically, if something resembles real historical places but is entirely made up — and then, like in the first episode, you have living statues or whatever that was — you’ve got fantasy.

No i doesn't. I dropped it despite the hype and my fondness for XZ, and I don’t regret it. A lot seems to be happening, but there’s basically zero tension, and the plot armor is so strong that it’s just boring. But that’s only my opinion.

I will tell you only this: You provoke them only for one purpose — for your own pleasure — and it shows. You want to display a sense of moral superiority over them, but you don’t have it. No one with moral superiority calls others idiots, especially on a public forum.

I’m already fed up with you, okay, I’m sincerely fed up with you—those of you XZ fans who make a fuss over nothing. This page doesn’t belong to you. Yes, I supported Kokuto, because her statement that there is chaos around the casting with every new drama is true.

As I already wrote earlier, I don’t give a damn whether there is 1 main actor or 10 in this drama—don’t drag me into your pointless wars.

Seriously? That one statement was enough for you to accuse me of hate and provocation? I honestly can’t believe it. I stand by every word in that paragraph. If you see it as that offensive and hateful—fine, those are your feelings. I don’t see it that way.

I respect XZ and most of his fans; anyone who throws insults at people—regardless of whether they’re someone’s fan or not—doesn’t qualify as a “good apple.” I have nothing against you.

I’m glad you don’t want to argue with me about this, because there’s really nothing to argue about. I appreciate the honesty of your response.

And please don’t drag me into your wars, because the whole issue of whether XZ is the only main actor in this drama or whether there are ten of them—I honestly couldn’t care less.
