I’m in another kind of conundrum. To stay with the daily episodes because they’re cute together or hold because we know there’s more angst down the line 🥰😢

Epi17 - PURE FLUFF! This is what a summer romance drama is about. Uber worth the time that was put into watching this show. Dazzling could never! 😂

MLs are unfamiliar to me but I’m liking their chemistry and acting. Didn’t even know ZKY was a singer and loving his OST as well as main OST 🎶

Epi16 - If you’re in the medical field, turn off your patient health information legal knowledge and let the kdrama logic move the story forward by creating another conflict 🤦🏻‍♀️

I recently have a thing for unhinged characters because of Affinity cdrama and this was a good next drama choice to help me move on from that cp.

I liked how the plot twist becomes the satisfying ending of a fast-paced story of a psych patient (loved the crazy acting of ZC with a few doses of dimples) and his Doctor (who also has some unresolved past)

Rated 9.0 with some possible re-watch value

How often does he show up for the rest of the show? I’m at Epi10 and so far he’s probably appeared about 3-5min per episode. The rest of the vengeance and bloodshed is fatiguing that I’m considering dropping. CYX is so cute though

Watched 1 episode and not as hooked as I would hope. Putting this on hold for another time when I’m in the mood for this longer pacing

A sweet fun watch that didn’t take too long to finish. It was slow burn at first but the kisses were worth the wait. CYX looked cute here but I wasn’t partial to his ponytail hair with the heavy thick nape. Of course he looked great as a doctor **Affinity** 🫦

8.0 rating with no re-watch value

Really cute and sweet short cdrama. Highly recommend. 9.0 rating

This was 1 of those rare RomComs in Kdrama that I found to be highly entertaining and fun to watch, with great dialogues between the main cp. The fantasy-element that was implemented in the storyline was confusing at the end but luckily didn’t overwhelm the outcome of of main characters obtaining their HE.

Although all the actors portrayed their characters well, HNJ will be most memorable to me with his plethora of facial micro-expressions in his portrayal of an arrogant-lonely-man-turned-whipped-downbad-lovebird-for-his-woman. It’s so obvious this man’s face has never been affected by Botox or fillers because every facial muscle ebbed and flowed into his angered furrows, moody scowls, happy smiles, sad cries, and mischievous thoughts. Ugh, can’t wait to see more of his projects

Rated 9.5 with high re-watched value.

The 2FL was worse for me lol. I would’ve loved to see more of CYX but even he can’t carry this disastrous show

I had to drop this cdrama after 14 episodes ( with a lot of FF) because I felt like I was watching paint dry. CYX (loved him in CEO business attire) and FL seemed fine with fitting their roles but that couldn’t save the repetitive storyline. The worst part was the annoying 2FL character — getting the flat-out friendzoning from ML and still whining and pining over him for multiple episodes. Ugh…I abhor those characters the most

Dropped. Don’t recommend, no rewatch value

Affinity and CYX brought me here and I loved HTTYK. My original love of drama watching have always been the RomCom genre and this cdrama fit my cup of tea - an easy fun watch with impressive acting and chemistry all around, a well-paced storyline with minimal filler plots, clear character development and gorgeous cinematography. I normally avoid historical palace intrigue but didn’t mind it here because it didn’t become repetitive..

CYX did well with this role switching portrayals — I couldn’t help being enamored with his masculine role and giggling the next with his feminine role. Especially loved the FL’s strong character portrayal that comes to a deep realization about the naive path of life she initially chose. Also impressed with the 2ML in his role switching skills too!

Rated 9.0 with high re-watch value.

P..S. Don’t ask me how I gave Affinity a chance when it never fit my fave genre but now I’m in search for more like it if anyone reccs

Skimming a few of the comments here after binge-watching Affinity. Although not comparable, I’m guessing and hoping this SM cdrama will be along the same lines as Affinity? Will I be ready for annother intense edge-of-seat drama?

Currently watching light easy cdramas LIL and HTTYK to mellow out what the Affinity CPs did to me 🫦😂

I saw a few clips of the “cowboy” scenes of Affinity on YT at beginning of year and initially passed up on this whack cdrama. The funny lamp scene actually brought me to give it another chance from Epi1 and I was hooked on this incomparably addicting show! Although CYX’s facial features weren’t impressive to me at first, this boy’s acting in Affinity is sooo fiercely captivating and now I’m watching his other projects (currently LIL and HTTYK) and debut talent show (his dancing skills are so mesmerizing).

After a few decades of Asian drama watching, I’ve become quite critical of my MLs and their acting talents. This boy, CYX, has impressed me with his uber talented acting versatility, by matching up to his different acting roles and chemistry with his FLs. Definitely following his past and upcoming projects to see him in larger-scaled productions!

I’m so tempted to read the novel now but I’m slightly invested in these actors. Never seen them before and I’ve been impressed so far.

In most cases, screenwriters don’t fully transfer all of the original novels’ details to the production screen but at the very least, they should keep core parts of a character. Ugh…

Thank you for saving me so much time! The drama had so much potential but the cp’s interest in each other slowly fizzled stale when they went back to school

That being said in the spoiler tag. I see myself dropping this cdrama and wait for their adult era episodes

Abhorred the breakfast scene and moving into his family home situation that happens after the so-called reveal/betrayal that is supposed to rock their core so hard that the cp should either avoid each other completely or it brings them magnetically physically closer. Why the nonchalance and lack of angst after such a powerful arc between a cp?

Found this vertical cdrama on YT by accident and this long haired hottie with pretty eyes and realized I had some of his works on my PTW list.

This plot is not my cup of tea but that’s what the FF button is for lol

What an intriguing Ep1 with all its craziness? Not familiar with the mains and the synopsis is quite uninteresting yet I’m hooked with Ep1’s ending and will watch more to see what this cdrama has to offer 😜

Edited to add: FAIR WARNING! ⚠️ DO NOT PICK UP THIS WILD, ANGSTY AND TWIST-FILLED PHUCKHAWT FEST OF A CDRAMA UNLESS YOU HAVE VACATION/POST-RECOVERY TIME THAT ALLOWS YOU TO INDULGE IN A SATISFYINGLY ADDICTING BINGEFEST! 🔥 I’ve never had acid before but the writer and director must’ve been on all kinds of crack to produce such a 🤪 crazy acid trip of a cdrama and I’m feigning for more! 😏I don’t think there’s another drama out there that compares to this rare delectable morsel and my lips are raw and stinging from the spice level. 🫦 The nerve of the FL to ask ML to teach her how to breathe, as if she already knew I was struggling to do so myself 😮‍💨 while watching them 🍽️ eat each other alive!

I’m giving this a 10 rating and will find myself periodically plucking this cdrama out of my double-decades-old pile of drama watching to re-watch and re-indulge 📼

Second season of this cp! Yes!!!
