It is okayish. Some characters are irritating at times. Which made drop it initially.

But I came back, mostly curious to see how it plays out, currently at ep34. And at this point there is a very powerful character, who is a bit too incompetent, to the point of annoying me. ML/FL and their sidekicks have to constantly prove their uprightness to him, working around his knee-jerk reactions.

The SML is okay, he is consistent in his behavior and motivation. The secondary couple is there. But they are not very interesting imo.

I find the characters of Gong Hui and Hong Dan weird/inconsistent. Both gave me the impression of strong women in the beginning.

But now GH won't put up a fight just because her crush tells her no to, and will rather remain a doormat at work. HD is weirdly fixated on the absolutely unreliable quack doctor, only to be constantly disappointed.

And those two ladies were the only characters I've cared about, sigh.

The characters are likeable. They certainly feel more believable/relatable than some of the characters in other recent kdramas. No over the top comedy or drama (so far). Will certainly watch the next episode.

What the hell is wrong with kdrama cops? Who the hell questions a child in front of the abuser?

And then they also just take some kid with amnesia to an orphanage, without trying to identify her, check with kids that recently went missing?

It it just lazy writing, or do writers simply have a disdain for Korean cops?

Just had this thought. What if Dan Su distances himself from granny and gets Gong Hui to join his other business, as an assistant designer or something. That would be cool, probably too cool for this drama though.

Are they seriously bringing forced habitation now, with more juvenile bickering? And I guess ML stayed in love with FL since school and is still a virgin? This is too stupid for me. I am out.

I feel like the ML is having a frigging midlife crisis, given his immature behavior.

Oh no, why did they make the SFL a selfish bitch? Can't we have a nice rich girl once in a while?

WTF so they just had a good talk and didn't report the brother of the ex to the police for harassment and vandalism?

I am torn. I like the premise. But I really can't stand the narcissistic, domineering, possessive ML with low emotional intelligence. It's such a weird trope, primary popular in cdramas, and one I've never liked.

ML is a pretty shitty negotiator for someone supposedly trained by the FBI. And a shitty husband too, even if it is just a contractual relationship.

A rich pretty domineering creepy ML, the perfect combination of traits.

Psycho ML. And of course there is the obligatory ML choking FL scene. But it is all a misunderstanding of course. Yikes.

Wow, surprisingly good historical fiction with a strong FL and supportive ML.

Accomplished ML, still single for plot reasons, returns to the back country to reunite with his first love, after friggin 18 years.

But yeah, it's fine for what it is.

I like In A. She knows what she wants and she communicates her feelings. :)

I guess different people have different rating standards. For me a 10 would be a masterwork, something I'd rewatch and recommend to others without hesitation.

To me the first episode was okay, didn't make me excited for the next episode. I am somewhat concerned about adult educated people acting like teenagers, looking for some petty revenge. But I'll continue watching to see where it goes.

So it's a 7 from me, with potential to to become an 8.

Interesting one. The first two episodes are hard to watch with FL being in doormat mode. But it gets better after that.

Oh god, I really hope this isn't one of those Stockholm syndrome stories, where the FL falls for the ML once he stops treating her like a prisoner/slave.

Yeah, dropping this. FL (and her sister) are too naive, perfect scam or cheating targets.
