Pretty decent for 2 min eps. A domineering FL paired with a naive ML with a secret. Don't think too hard about the poison aspect and it's a quick fun watch. Endings are better than most short series even though it was more than a little abrupt.
YESS MY BOYSSSS!! I am both proud and sad they are going for enlistment. I hope they stay safe, they are protected and happy during their 2 years there. They told us to trust them that they will be back in 2025 and I am sure they will.
Also hope SK government stops using them to play politics and keep making money off them as if they are products and not humans >:(
Also also (lol!) - everyone should go and watch RUN BTS episodes if you want a pick me up - even if you are not an army. They are just so wholesome and fun to watch, the members have a lot of love and understanding for each other and it just such a stress relieving watch!
Personally don't think they should make season 3. I think everything that could have been done was already done - esp since there's a bit of repetitiveness from the first season, but most viewers won't mind that because it's been so long since season 1 and the leads are so great together. But if there's a season 3 of the same story line I feel like it will make the franchise a bit boring.
So cute! What's great about this season is you don't need to waste time being introduced to the characters so you can straight away jump in to the romance. This first half I thought was funnier than the first season, I was laughing a lot. I did think the leads had better kiss scenes in the first season though, but they still had overall great chemistry in this season. In both seasons I have to say the leads are one of the few on-screen couples that really feel like a couple. They hug, hold hands, give each other pecks- and I'm grateful they were able to be comfortable enough to have that kind of presence on screen (esp considering Bie is married). They really don't hold back on the physical affection (and by that I mean not just kisses) - which is really nice to see!
Also the addition of the storyline actress of Xiabao was such a great idea! She was so cute in her role. I totally loved her and her relationship with Xiaoqi too!
It's just such a cheerful, pink-pink, lighthearted fluff drama to forget all about your worries. This is a turn off- tune in and enjoy the romcom (heavy on the com too!) drama. If you liked season 1 you will end up falling in love with season 2!
A pretty healthy and non-toxic relationship, the leads were everything that held this drama together. They had great script (esp in the beginning) and chemistry. Everything else was bit bland from the secondary couple to the direction of the show. I feel like, others, this had more potential. I think partly the title/trailer were a little misleading. I was expecting a ML like Dongfang Qingchang from LBFAD since the ML is supposedly a bad boy/villainous character.
Also I think the plot was supposed to be more dramatic than the direction of the drama. It felt like the writer was trying to do one thing, and the director the complete opposite. There was very little "drama" in this - and I don't mean the unnecessary toxicity that are prevalent in cdramas- but rather the dramatics needed to pull off a fantasy story like this. It did drag from ep 16-22 for me and I was skipping a lot because of how bland everything was. Even their love didn't feel "unforgettable".
Overall I would still say this is a cute light fluffy watch with great romance from the leads, but go in expecting a very soft drama that tries to be more slice of life than fantasy which is its ultimate downfall.
Subs aren't that great and the FL needs improvement on her acting. The case was also overly convoluted for such a short series, with the villains confessing their entire plan at the drop of the hat. ML was really good though and would like to see more of him!
All over the place, trying to do much with very little time and it was really disappointing. The FL had more chemistry with her friend Su MU than with the ML. Possibly cause she had so much more screen time with her.
The comedy was cringey and the romance was lackluster, the only one who could act was the FL. Everyone else was meh or really bad.
Wow this really blew me away. Probably one of the best mini series I have watched, great script & story, wonderful acting and it was produced really well. The director and cinematographer did really well. This is waaaayyy better than a lot of normal dramas. Ofcourse as a mini series some plot points were rushed but almost everything was really well developed.
Dear producers/directors/writers- please give us more of these kind of mini series. Not just badly produced bossy president ones.
Only complaint was the FL needs a little brush up on her crying parts but other than that she was really good. But her and the ML had amazing chemistry and they don't hold back on the kisses either! Highly recommend this!
Pretty cute, main leads were good together. I liked S2 more than S1 but wow the side actors were terrible esp in S2. Really overacted in their parts - I wonder if that's what the director had in mind for them. Also in S1 there was too much "comedic abuse" of the ML. Wasn''t a fan of him being beaten up for every small thing by the FL.
Although I was expecting more romance this series is really more about detective work and the cases they come across so that was a disappointment. Other than that - FL actress is gorgeous. Would like to see her in more dramas. ML did a pretty good job in his different roles but I wish the story had gone in a different direction.

It's ok to watch but don't expect much romance.
