Low effort bottom feeder
Just like any other drama where two brothers have an intense love triangle over a girl, except this one falls on the lower end of the spectrum. So you better off tune your expectations accordingly before going into it or just avoid it altogether.Was this review helpful to you?
Pain!
Amongst the worst, truly! Right from the end of the first episode, it was evident that its fate was sealed and the clock started ticking towards its inevitable demise. This is a complete package of pure manufactured junk, offering no redeeming qualities whatsoever. A waste of carbon emissions as well. At a certain point, it became impossible to pick itself up from the hole it dug. The storyline was utterly unappealing, lacking any semblance of creativity or intrigue. The script itself was shoddily constructed, replete with contradictions and nonsensical elements. Every single plotline ended up being underdeveloped. The characterization was equally inadequate, with every single character exhibiting pitiful and distasteful traits. The relationships portrayed in the drama were nothing more than childish and insipid, particularly the abhorrent love triangle/square/pentagon at the center of it all.I desperately need to to seek medical attention from a neurologist to check if I developed some kind of brain worms afterwards. I highly advice anyone reading this to stay away from the writer, Kim Ji Wan, he's built a reputation on fucking up royally so damn hard. His later projects after this one "That Sun in the Sky (2016) & The All-Round Wife (2021)" are a testament for that. My earlier points are repeated across the other projects as well.

The male lead reminds me of the male lead from Ugly Alert (2013), both competing in being the ultimate pacifist and masochist. Despite being introduced to a big cast with multiple stories and couples, the drama hard lock its focus on the main couples. However, the story ended early and the last 20-25 episodes were all dedicated to the side cast, going through them one by one in rotation. These episodes became the most bothersome since the drama didn't bother investing in the other couples early. They were always brushed off and now asking the viewers to care about them? Nonetheless, there were worse things to consider such as poor antagonists, weak conflicts and underwhelming climax. You can't compare it to Ugly Alert, that one is just infinitely better.Was this review helpful to you?
Had some potentials...
The amount of inconsistencies and plot holes was unbelievably grand. Rendering it exceedingly challenging and distracting to keep watching. Any semblance of suspense that the drama attempted to create was overshadowed by how easily predictable it was. However, Lee Yoo Ri pulling through as usual. Overall, it still passes for a sleepy watch.Was this review helpful to you?

It's a pretty light daily drama with multiple couples and low tension. Because of the low tension, there wasn't much happening, the progress was very slow in general, and it almost turned into a slice of life. There were plenty of small annoyances but there was one in particular that stood out the most and that's Bit Na's father. Her father, as we were introduced to him, a very virtuous man who doesn't stand wrong doings, yet, despite Bit Na being the "naughty" girl in the drama, we barely saw him on screen for his daughter and he almost never interfered in his daughter's affairs until it was too late to matter. Big missing opportunity to work on the father-daughter dynamic. Speaking of Bit Na, the actress Park Ha Na did a fantastic job in portraying her character, especially with that attitude. I would say she was the highlight of the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
It had a decent start but...
Despite how messed up the trio Shin Ho was involved in, it would have been tolerable if the drama didn't favor them exclusively. The worst part about this drama is that it started good with a handful of diverse stories and lively cast but it quickly shifted towards Shin Ho's triangle while neglecting everyone's else, even the two leads in the poster became irrelevant later on.Was this review helpful to you?
Questionable adaptation
The drama lacked the Korean flavor in its adaptation from the original Japanese one. Usually when the source is Japanese, the adaptation will take the core idea and add its Korean spin but not in this one. This feels like it was fully produced by Japan but with Korean cast. From writing to dialogue, characters and editing, even the teaser at the very last scene. Speaking of the cast, this is Kim So Eun worst performance, I've seen from her other roles and she's usually better than this, I don't why she's like that here.Was this review helpful to you?
It's okay...
Too much time wasted on the love triangle/square while the terminal illness was brought to attention way too late. It's definitely one of the weaker tearjerkers. The earlier parts were funny and interesting but I couldn't bring myself to like the later parts, they were so dry and bland. The drama didn't do a good job in portraying that deep connection needed for any tearjerker drama. On the other hand, I was glad to see Kang Hye Jung in a 1st main lead. It's a rarity in her short career, usually it's either 2nd lead or support.Was this review helpful to you?
Very meh
Immersion-breaking scuffed production, tone deaf story, mediocre performance and all around plain boring.Was this review helpful to you?

They had an idea but awful execution. Scuffed production, barely serviceable performance, dead story, and bad basketball players. Also, very yucky triangle.Was this review helpful to you?

Fried chicken init! As a chicken connoisseur, I don't approve this. The dirtiest chicken restaurant I know serves better chicken than this guy's chicken. Anyway, the drama was straight up not good, even the cast was meh. Also, it would be better off if they removed the romance and made more chicken instead.Was this review helpful to you?
Alright
I like when Kim Sun Ah used to have a wider jaw line. I just miss the old Kim Sun Ah in general. Nowadays all her projects are about revenge and cunning. The drama is alright although it was lacking an interesting element. I was expecting the drama to explore more cases related to archeology but there were only a few. Meanwhile the romance was kinda cheesy but at least there was no big triangles.Was this review helpful to you?

The usual makjang route without anything new or interesting that would stand out. Which would be fine if it weren't 160 episodes. Aside from the repetitive nature of the genre, they were including a lot of necessary fillers that were meaningless. Apparently the writer was struggling too, especially with the autistic main lead Hyung Woo. He was introduced briefly and had some screen-time in the first 30 episodes then he almost was never on screen other than once every 5 episodes until they brought him back for the last 30 episodes. I guess writing for an autistic character would require more effort.Was this review helpful to you?
It's not it....
I couldn't stand the lead actor Kim Min Jong. He looks he's in his 40s but acts and dress like he's in his 20s. Both male sucked. All the relationships sucked, romantic and non-romantic ones. By the end, I couldn't care less who would end up with who.Was this review helpful to you?
Barely watchable...
Right from the beginning it became apparent what the writer intend to do to write this sloppy mess. Every small thing will alter to the writer's wish ignoring the most basic sanest common sense practice. It was really hard to look at anything else past this. No likable characters to be seen anywhere. Both guys that were chasing Do Na were pure cringe. In fact, their love triangle was the worst part about the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
