Your likely mature beyond your years in character! (A good thing). It truly is an adult drama but its great to hear that some younger people got into the issues the drama explores as well as the romance between adults.

And Oh Yeon Seo even more so. She is really pretty.

I wrote a review of this show. The women in the show were fantastic but the writing and direction were abysmal and the male parts were dreadful. When Gong Seung Yeon was in the actual "journeys" the show shined brightly. Outside the journeys the other scenes were mostly quite cringe.

The network and showrunners also "sold" to the public that the show was a romance drama. But it was not. Kim Jae Young's scenes were minor and has acting bland - it was very clearly a payday and nothing more and that is how he acted it.

Should be a great series - stellar cast.

The male lead is Kim Jae Yeong and he is not a very good actor at the best of times - he really built his career on the male androgynous poser method. But his role in TJFH is actually fairly minor. The focus of the episodes is Park Shin Hye, and she has a "team" from hell and they are very funny and have much more screen time vs the male lead.

Really this is a one lead show and everyone else is a supporting role. She carries it fully and you would enjoy it.

Really looking forward to this show. Especially excited for Oh Yeon Seo to finally get a quality series again.

This show and UnderCover Miss Hong starting the day before plus Spring Fever already running has caused my evenings to jam up.

Lee Joo Bin is fantastic so far.

I love Park Min Young but I have been concerned about her health in the last few months of 2025 - she looked very anorexic in photoshoots. Its hard to fathom what caused her to go down that route when she is so lovely. Few people wear clothing as well as she does and many of her past looks in different shows have been breathtaking beautiful.

Anyways, I will think positive thoughts and any show she is in always merits attention. She might be considering a return to romance because Confidence Queen and the salon reality show she did in the fall did not do that well in ratings. But a lot of that has to do with distribution - a show really has to be on one of the big 3 Korean networks and NetFlix (1st choice) or Disney+ (distant 2nd also ran choice) in order to generate high ratings and buzz.

Park Shin Hye has demonstrated great versatility over her acting career. One of the few actresses who can actually do real action scenes and does not have to fake it, but equally capable with melodrama or comedy.

As others have stated I have a hard time picturing her as a 20 yr old but I have no doubt this will be a funtastic series.

She was in The Judge From Hell (Fall 2024) after Doctor Slump (filmed in 2023 released Jan 2024. Did you miss TJFH? It was fantastic.

Agreed. She has not done a major kdrama since RBB. Being married to one of Korea's most famous actors, living life on a farm and being a mother seemed to be her priorities. Has done a lot of modeling shoots but no acting up to this series.

My absolute must watch of February.

UEEE really rocked in Iron Girls. But she is simply not at all "sexy" in her persona and as a lead in a romcom she is just not a suitable choice. I think she is a capable actress and very suitable for other roles but not romance where she is the focal point.

Count me in! Fantastic cast. How does Lee Na Young look so good - she is 46! She must have a deal with a higher deity of some sort...

Really stoked for this one. A terrific cast of lead women and what appears to be a very interesting storyline.

The show is supposed to be on ENA and Genie. I think that is potentially going to impact show viewership as ENA has only one past show Extraordinary Attorney Woo that managed to break out into double digits. Typically their shows dwell in the 0.5% to 2% range although a few shows in 2025 managed to exceed 3% average viewership.

I hope a major streaming service picks up the show. If NetFlix had rights it would be a big boost but I don't think they do.

no idea who he is so should i care? I think everyone beyond the primary leads is likely pretty secondary to the this show. Its a Park Shin Hye drama with a well known male co-starring and the rest really don't matter for this one. Its not an ensemble piece like say Our Blues or Twelve.

It does not have a romance tag in the genres list so I think there is likely no romance. I would not be against it but it appears this is a comedy and the previews seem to be consistent in that context

This is ok for teens and young 20s but if your an adult you will want to give this show a hard pass. It is nowhere near as good as the current score -realistically the show is about a 6.5-6.8. That is just boosting by fangirls.

I understand you completely. I too was puzzled by a number of matters to the end of Episode 3. I understood Song Ha Gyeong anger at the sale of the house being torpedoed in of itself but not really the root of her frustration and antagonism towards Baek Do Ha.

But Episode 4 clarifies everything. All the connections are explained, the root of the anger, and more. I am not posting a full explanation as it would spoil for many. But I can if you really want it.

She is as much a movie actress as kdrama actress but I hope we see her in more kdramas going forward.
