I know this might get hate, but I’ll say it anyway. Whenever a drama with a popular actress is released, people often hype it up with positive reviews without even watching it. Even if the acting isn’t great, they start bringing up her past dramas which completely misses the point, because we’re talking about the new one. I felt this with Kim Hye-yoon’s latest drama as well. I had been looking forward to this drama for a long time, but once it aired, it just didn’t feel right. The acting felt overly cheesy, and the plot was way too predictable. I could already tell where it was going. Honestly, both the male and female leads felt unbearable to watch. Their “face card” alone shouldn’t give them a free pass. I’m writing this review for people who don’t get swayed by popularity or visuals and are simply looking for a well-written drama with a strong plot. If you’re looking for something fresh or different, this drama probably isn’t for you.


I guessed the pay was high enough for boarding both IU and Byeon Seok. Just because this is a drama of IU, I have seen people calling it a masterpiece, even people are not allowed to give negative reviews. But the truth is, this is just an average contract marriage drama with a fantasy element. For me "Because this is my first life" will always be the benchmark for contract marriage dramas. IU actually did some overacting in this drama, but I guess that's her character but the way people are defending her, comparing her acting with Hotel Del Luna, no way both characters are the same. I am not questioning IU's acting as that's her character but definitely questioning her drama choice after When life gives you a tangerine.
