So much potential, however..
First I want to say how amazing the cast of this show is. They all have great chemistry with each other and rlly bring their characters to life. Especially Lee Chae-min (Kang Ha) caught my attention from the very start and he truly gained a new fan of his person and acting with me. Did the series have major flaws? Yes. The storyline wasn't able to live up to its full potential, due to bad writing. The love triangle was very unnecessary, since it's unrealistic for a grieving brother to fall in love with the potential murder of ur brother.. just because the girl is pretty. Kang Has revenge should have gotten way more attention and detail. However apart from that each episode was very enjoyable to watch and it never bored me in any way. I hope they are able to do a season 2, where they stop focusing on the romance (or at least in a better way) and start the real journey of Kang Ha with the school.Was this review helpful to you?
let’s be real
RIGHT I NEED TO TALK ABT THIS SERIES so at first I enjoyed it it was good the story line was great and the overall series was pretty good the only disappointing thing was the end it was all sloppy and just stupid and far from what I expected or wanted in fact still now I don’t really know what happened in the end because they left it so empty also after the crafts they had a little suspense but it felt like they just wanted viewers to acc consider watching a second season because if it didn’t end like that I defo wouldn’t watch a second season as there would be no pointWas this review helpful to you?
If edging was a show…this would be it.
Someone said ‘if edging was a show…this would be it’ and I could not agree more. This was a good watch but it didn’t hit the spot for me. It had so much potential but I can’t help but feel like something was missing. I can’t put my finger on it but it felt very bland. Although the cast did a good job with what they had. And the production was good.Honestly do not know why, but I expected more.

Rich CEO mindf**ks with flirty journalist
Headline says it all and it was cringey. The series will remind one of those online novels and old M&B pocket books with typical tropes involving domineering males and flirty females.The high rating given by others is probably only because of who the main leads are and they just want to simp all over their favourite actors. Otherwise the series has felt draggy to me. Episodes focusing too much on office deals and what not which gave no value to the progression of the plot.
The title is "only for love" but it seems the Romance is kick-started because the FL wanted to seduce the ML for more juicy info related to her work. This should be retitled "work related seduction"

almost everything is missing
This is another beautiful example how excellent actors plus budget plus a good idea might add to nothing.The episodes feel void. Either a reduction to two episodes or better dialogues or some sort of filling might have
help. Instead of this we have 11 long episodes of nothing. It might be still nice to simply watch the beautiful actors
and listen for their voices, in case you really have nothing else better to watch or to do in life.
From my point of view, it does not deserves attention even for 1% of its running time. Big disappointment!

Watch it definitely!
"Okay, so 'Love to Hate You' ? It's like they bottled up that perfect buddy vibe.Their chemistry is next-level. They've got this banter that's so natural, you almost forget they're acting. When they get all serious or share a moment, you're right there with them. The way they play off each other? It's what makes this show addicting. Plus, the storylines? Keeps you hooked episode after episode. If you're into shows where the leads just click and make you laugh and feel all the feels, this one's gotta be on your watchlist. Seriously good vibes!"And the chemistry is good ? and as for comedy it is so on ? you will laugh at almost in each episodes
So,give it a go!
Oooohhhhh writing it while laughing about its scenes ???

Could be the best K Drama ever.
This is simply a marvelous slice-of-life drama. The first 4 episodes are a bit slow, but it gets amazing from the 5th episode onwards. The performances were extremely realistic and awesome. The friendship dynamics between each character is explored extremely well, and the pacing is really good. The comedy felt natural and not forced. The highlight of the drama in my opinion is the brotherhood between Taek and Sun Woo. It's one of those rare series that make the viewer enjoy the setting rather than hate it, which was really well done, considering that its set in the late 1980s; a time most of the viewers aren't familiar with. The ending isn't a 10 out of 10 ending, but still, it fits the series and is really well done.Was this review helpful to you?
Getting skeptical whether i want to finish it or nit
Im starting to hate this drama. Its getting cheesy and i dont like it. I guess the characters were not how im expecting them to be. I'll pause watching it for now, maybe i'll get my interest back after taking a break from it.........................................................Was this review helpful to you?
Moment of Sweet Teens
Such a sweet , heartwarming school drama. The story had me hooked since the beginning and made me care about about the characters, great job on that.The actors are pretty good , male lead is a good casting and his mom is so adorable , all the friends characters and that bad guy , Class teacher and his supermarket part timer girlfriend all of them did an excellent portrayal .
Only gripe is that the FL could have been someone else , i felt she lacked the charm and the chemistry a little .
Although the scenes made up for it , i felt she might have been replaced with someone else could have made me care for their love even more . thats how i felt it.
Anyways , that last ep 16 about the Mom's situation broke me into tears and scenes were done nicely to keep me choked and tearing up frequently till the end.
Overall , a satisfying watch.

Started well and then all hell broke loose
Super fun story to watch... at first. From ep 1-10 i thoroughly enjoyed the story with laughs and just cringy moments which i welcomed.Then the writers lost their minds and started twisting this story into a billion different direction with some Background characters who started out super unhealthy but ended being extremely happy compared to the main couple.
I just feel like the ending sucked and they ruined a whole story that could have been so much better if they had just stuck to it and actually helped the characters develop instead of trying to do tricks. it was just cheap I did not like the ending at all I think they should just redo it because this had the same potential to be as good as "because it's my first life" and they literally ruined it completely in the end and the abrupt breakups which both made no sense I feel we're so dumb and they shouldn't just left the characters together and had given them actual real life issues instead of doing these dumb twists. It was promising and then it just failed even though that ending was happy ish I just don't like it at all I feel like they just missed the mark completely on this one.

This is one of the best xianxia drama I have watched in the recent years!
The first episode was so typical of xianxia drama and I was struggling to finish watching it. I also did not particularly fancy the cover page of the drama (on Netflix) which shows TJJ’s face only. But I was so thankful I didn’t give up as the drama turned out to be so good! I was captivated by the lead actor Luo Yun Xi’s acting of the character TJJ/ MY and the Denon lord. Also very impressed by Chen Du Ling as YBC (I hated her when she did all the evil things) and Deng Wei as XL. Bai Lu also brought out the character of YXW pretty well. Just the acting by the actors and actresses make the drama worth watching. There were some illogical parts and very obvious villain characters which make some parts of the story predictable but these are quite minor and I would still rate the story as good and coherent. The CGI, customs and OST are great too. However, thought the music could be better, e.g specific ost / remixes ost to support specific scenes, like what was done well in Love like the Galaxy.Was this review helpful to you?
Revenge because law didn't effective
The story is about a man who has his daughter killed by someone and in the court, He wasn't satisfied with the law and sentence that was given by the judge. Later on, He killed the killer without knowing who's the real killer and behind all of this. In the future, there was an anonymous person who hacked the electronic device and installed an application to all people in Korea to vote about the person that he had captured along with the crime that had been committed. It's actually similar to The Devil Judge. That's where the story becomes interesting.Was this review helpful to you?
Promising...
It started out well and I couldn't put it down until episode 7, by episode 10 I was so done. I just felt like with the cast they had the writers could have told a better story. It felt lazy and overcomplicated to take up time. And the villains didn't really pay for their crimes in the end. There was no getting to see the main people we wanted to see togeter, together. Last episode was rushed and felt like an afterthought. Just lame.Was this review helpful to you?

Skipped half the things after 8 episodes
Watched this simply bcoz of the heroine. I love her presence. Many have listed positive aspects. I'll concentrate on boring ones for change. This doesn't mean that I didn't binge watched it in 2 days ?:* Things became boring the moment the 2nd female villain entered the viewframe. That actress is boring to look at especially when you compare it to how the two main villains were so refreshing to watch until then. Afterwards their habit of taking clues fr this new villain was too predictive. I get that her presence was meant to indicate ML lead's personal struggle against his fate but she simply comes across as irritating filler after 8th episode.
*Su Min didn't have to have childhood or familial connection to FL for her to have grudge against her. We know that ppl hold gudge and jealousy without any familial connection. This urge by showmakers to connect love or hatred to early years in such blatant way takes you away fr whatever little realism is present in the shows.
* Do all the disapproving grandparents need to use that sound note to speak?
The BEST thing about this show is main 2 villains upto 8th episode. I simply skimmed over the rest of the episodes. Don't have that much patience. Loved the heroine but the actors who played the villain couple stole the show making audience think about all the vile ppl of these sorts they have come across in their own lives

The lobotomy patient and masochist
An ML who must have undergone lobotomy and a masochist FL who thrives in mental abuse.Dropped after an episode and a half. I can't bear watching all that gaslighting and mental abuse.
Although the premise is interesting it's nothing to write home about. I've seen it all before in other KDramas.
