Acting is great! Plot has it's pros/cons but overall a good watch

This plot line is very reflective of it's original source and you can tell it's based off a novel. It keeps you interested and intrigued throughout with it's twists/turns and it's unexpected surprises around every corner. The plot is deep, well though out, and quite intricate. There's these little details they've snuck in there that I didn't know until I rewatched some episodes and I really appreciated the thought that went into those moments. I've been watching a lot of short dramas lately so the depth and intricacy of a long drama was refreshing. However, that's also the downside of this drama. The plot in the middle lost it's steam a bit. While the beginning was cute, had multiple comedic moments that I really enjoyed, and moved along at a good pace, the middle tbh was quite slow/boring for me and I legit fell asleep at one point. They spent way too much time on that netherbeast section and I was over it at that point. I couldn't wait to get to the last third of the drama. They tried to maintain some of the initial comedy but as expected, as the storyline got more serious, the comedic moments because fewer and fewer. ML, FL, and all the other actors were all very good and I enjoyed their acting a lot. I don't have anything to be critical of the actors themselves, mostly a plot thing. Worth a watch!

Acceptable but not exceptional

So I watched this 2024 short drama in 2026 and man have we come a long way. This is a prime example of what these dramas were like back then and it really helps you appreciate how much some of them have improved since then. This one is pretty simple still with not too much fluff but nothing particularly spectacular about it. This is one of the earliest if not the earliest dramas that this CP has done together and they've done a good amount together since then. They're cute together but this early one lacked chemistry between and they've definitely done more exciting projects together since. Overall acceptable watch but easily forgettable too.

Didn't know what to expect and came out pleasantly surprised

So I went into this thinking it was another typical short drama and really only started it cause I recognize the two main actors and have liked their previous works. I didn't really know what to expect but this drama ended up surprising me in many ways. First of all, this was a whopping 4 hours long which is way longer than the usual 1.5-2.5hr short drama. All this extra time allowed the story to be more intricate and detailed. Good for overall plot explanation (but it did get a bit boring and drawn out in the middle where plot progression was a bit too slow for me.) Next, the actors were all very good, even the supporting cast who played their characters so well. Loved how strong FL is and the overall message of the plot fighting for female power. ML was so good playing both a cute puppy and then a captivating bad boy. Actually wished there were more of when he was in his serious fierce attitude mode cause it's damn hot. The ending was actually pretty satisfying too which I can't say about most short dramas. It made sense and didn't feel too rushed. Overall pretty good drama for me!

I really like this actor but I really don't like this drama

I like this ML actor and that's why I watched this but this plot annoys me so much. ML character be doing a lot of red flag behaviors but somehow it's ok cause he's hot and it shouldn't be like that. Any other regular looking dude acting like that and he'd be categorized as a creep. He's just taking advantage of the FL who is annoyingly too weak to do anything herself and falls for him not cause he's actually any good but just cause he was fake nice to her. But then they somehow actually fall in love? She basically sold herself and then falls for the guy. Their relationship growth doesn't make sense and it annoys me that after knowing that he was the one behind it all that she just took him back in the end so easily. Them trying to make it seem like there's a big age difference between them also makes this drama uncomfortable to watch. Yea she's suppose to be in college and in her early 20s but they have FL acting like a child and it's a bit messed up. Very disappointed.

I am a fan of this CP but had to dock points off for the plot and pacing.

Overall really sweet. I love this CP so much that it's hard for me to watch ML act with anyone else. ML and FL are both really good actors and I always like their performance. But the plot is always where I end up taking some points off. In this one, ML was so sweet and determined to win over FL. The whole drama is about how he wouldn't stop to support her, even if it means he has to give her up. I do think that the drama should have showed more of how she fell for him back. I felt like that was missing and so it was a very one sided love. It was also a bit weird that he suddenly came back later in the end and things suddenly progressed so quickly. The flow just didn't feel right. The ending felt rushed. They spent way to much plot time focused on their youth and neglected the end. Staff should have cut that beginning parts shorter so they could spend more time later to rekindle their romance. But it was cute overall. Again I love this CP so it was fun to watch overall.

What impressed me most was actually the editing

Overall this was a good plot with nice romance growth and just enough but not too much boring toxic family drama to keep the plot moving. The actress that plays FL is so cute and ML is so sweet. I have to specifically give props to the editors of this one and their well done editing, especially in the beginning. I loved the added drawn-in CGI and the way they were able to portray the scene having dialogue in the background while and interestingly portraying the main characters without just watching them talk. It was very interesting and very artfully done. There was less of the flashy editing later in the drama but there were still a couple scenes where I thought the editing was interestingly done.
