Not watchable after 2nd episode
People said that if you don't watch the entire story, you can't give review. I disagree. Well, this is NOT a review of the whole story. JUST the first 3 episodes (I didn't lie - all the information is marked according to MyDramaList specs) that turned me off regardless of the fact that I like both actors/actress.I don't randomly sample dramas. I don't watch dramas with actors that I don't like and then give negative reviews. For example, I am not watching the current Immortal Ascension and Sword Rose. I already know I will not like them so I won't even try.
Please don't challenge my review otherwise you will be blocked because I don't have to time to argue. Let's face it: it's just a drama. It's not your life or anything so important that we have to spend time defend the drama.
Reason why I dropped this story:
The framing around the story is ridiculous:
Ep 3: FL said, "only reason I let you live is to hear your story"
Ok so why did she harm him before giving him a chance to explain? She is supposed to have grown up in an investigative home, understands how investigation works, loved him for a long time, understand him so well, etc ...
And what's so annoying is the doctor giving the "wrong" poison. Very contrived!
She didn't give him the benefit of the doubt...
Then as soon as he tells her the real story, she says I don't believe you.
He even said, there should be at least 1 person, who can believe his story -well he's right! rolling eyes!
I feel like this is a rewrite of THE SMILING, PROUD WANDERER when the ML who loves the master's daughter is framed. In this case, the framing is believable. She's not in love with him and believes her new boyfriend!
When the FL acted so illogically, I don't think I can change my perspective to believe that they have chemistry and love each other. Not convincing. Watching 20 more episodes will not convince me that they chemistry.

Very watchable... and has funny moments
I love the actress. She's very funny.Of course, it's not a 10 story but very watchable compared to the Disney Perfect Crown, which is so contrived that it's not even funny.
Until something better comes along, this drama has its moments. The ML can't act. But FL is good. He has no expression. The hair also looks funny.

Can't get over the First Actress
I've tried to watch this drama a few times because I think the story is really good. It's about true love regardless of the facial appearance.After the first 2 episodes, I realized that I love the chemistry and acting of Zheng He Hui Zi and Liu Xue Yi. They just look like they belong together regardless of the scar on her face. She embodies wholesomeness and goodness. She looks natural and like a healthy woman. She interprets the role convincingly.
I have enjoyed Ju Jing Yi's dramas before. However, I feel she doesn't belong in this drama. The hair, her thinness, and acting just don't match up with LXY. They don't seem to have chemistry. This role belongs to the first actress, whom I have NEVER seen before this drama. She just matches up with the acting of LXY better.
Ju Jing Yi fits a less serious drama. She always acts the same too.

Story is good. Main Leads don't have chemistry
I know why the chemistry is not evident in the relationship of the main leads. It's the ML ,Sung Joon. The way he looks at the FL is not too authentic. He always has a reserved/sarcastic expression.The 2nd ML is better. He acts as if he likes her.
The FL actress also has no expression in her eyes. It's like "dead eyes". She's pretty though.
The story is decent.
Second leads act very well! Look at their eyes - very expressive and lively!

Not Watchable and dropped
Sorry I am not an antifan: this story is not for me. I knew it and dropped early.There are many time travel plots/writers writing themselves into the stories, etc. But this one is not as expected and just not entertaining for me.
While the ML and FL are attractive and good actors/actresses, the plot is just not to my liking. I hope to see them in the future dramas.
Please don't bother to argue with my review. Everyone is entitled to give reviews. I have seen enough to know I don't like the drama. And I've said as much. I didn't lie. If you like the drama, good for you. Go ahead and write what you like. I promise I won't waste my time arguing with your review.
Those who want to take away my right to give an honest reviews will be blocked. Sorry I don't have time to read or deal with your negativity.
