Middleman's love is basically a spin-off series of bed friends which i liked. So i had high expectations from this series. But i was very disappointed after watching the series. Jade (the main character) was very cringy and irritating. The plot was boring after some point. The story was stretched. I liked the side couple though but it was not enough to save the series. I liked the first 2 episodes but after that i lost my interest yet i completed the series. Som parts of the series do not even contribute to it. For example the office sport part is just there for no reason.

Overall i was very disappointed in this series it could have been better if the story, the characters etcetera where better.

Is it worth rewatching?
Short answer NO. the series is so boring that you will never think of rewatching it. It has nothing to rewatching it

Generation to Generation: An Emotional, Imperfect Gem That Rekindles Wuxia’s Golden Age

I have finished the drama and will try to provide a thorough review because I LOVED this drama. It takes patience and strong media comprehension, because it is nothing like the saccharine love stories of present years. They are not going narrate every thought or plan for you, and viewers will need to pay attention, but if you do, you will be hooked!

Final Verdict: MUST WATCH! If you loved Wuxia dramas of the past, especially those from TVB, this will harken back to yesteryears, bringing back memories and a nostalgic kick that I’ve craved from dramaland for a long time. I truly enjoyed the good, the bad, and the ugly here, but mostly good. Great even, imperfections and all. I loved all of the characters, can even empathize with the bad guys, and loved character development for all of the essential main and supporting cast. You will not regret seeing this through to the end.




Plot & Pacing: 7/10 -- I will start with the obvious imperfections. If viewers have patience, the drama is absolutely worth the payoff. The first five episodes move very quickly; it is not for those who only watch for romance, who like clear black and white characters, and definitely not for the impatient. Admittedly, the editing in the first 5 eps feels choppy, transitions are almost nonexistent, and anyone unfamiliar with the Wuxia genre or its rapid character introductions may feel overwhelmed. The Generation to Generation team had to condense a long novel into 37 episodes, and it is rumored that the original cut was closer to 40. Those extra episodes would have helped ease viewers into the world, build out the character introductions, and guide the audience through the backstory. Unfortunately, we work with what we have, and nothing is ever perfect.

If viewers can make it through those early episodes, the plot and pacing improve dramatically. From that point on, the story becomes engaging and emotionally rewarding. What stood out to me most was how the drama centers on the younger generation as they try to unravel and correct the mistakes of those who came before them. The older generation leaves behind calamities, chaos, bloodshed, heartbreak, and also nostalgia, love, regret, and a deep wish for the next generation to avoid repeating their fate.

At its heart, GTG is about breaking free from family trauma and learning to live authentically without compromising your conscience. Live with the intensity of fire, but move through the world with the curiosity and freedom of the wind. This idea is perfectly embodied by Cai Pingshu, the main protagonist’s aunt, who is admired across both the Six Sects and the Demonic Sect. Cai Zhao, our female lead, has also continued to preserve her aunt’s legacy and build her own path in the world, which is to be a business owner and live peacefully in Luoying Valley with her loved ones, Mu Qingyan included.

Overall, the plot is very strong. It does deviate from the novel, but it brings its own charm and perspective. As a Wuxia drama, it feels reminiscent of the classic TVB golden era with familiar themes, memorable characters, and clear hero and villain archetypes. The show balances the main love story, the Jianghu conflicts, the side characters, and the flashbacks in a satisfying way. Its weakest point is the main villain, whose arc drags on longer than necessary, and I wish Uncle Li had received more backstory. Even so, the flaws do not outweigh the many strengths.




Characters/Chemistry: 9/10 -- Zhou Yiran’s performance as Mu Qingyan is the standout of the entire drama. He carries the role with incredible nuance, and his portrayal of a young man shaped by trauma, loss, and moral ambiguity is unforgettable. Bao Shang’en also deserves a great deal of praise. As Cai Zhao, she holds her own in a major role and actually has more screentime than Zhou Yiran. She brings a grounded, sincere energy to the character that makes her easy to root for.

Mu Qingyan is neither good nor evil. He is a broken young man who grew up with a painful childhood and then lost the only person who ever made him feel safe, his father. After that, he suffered under the Demonic Sect, which rightfully belonged to his Mu clan. His father was his one source of light, and after his death, that role shifted to Uncle Chang. When Uncle Chang died, Cai Zhao became the only constant brightness in his life. She is direct, honest, free-spirited, and has no hidden motives. She becomes his guiding North Star.

I love that neither character fully trusts the other at first. They are destined to be enemies in this world, and Mu Qingyan often treats Cai Zhao like a chess piece in his larger plan. Yet she is sharp enough to see through him. Their romance is a slow burn that can feel uneven at times, but both characters remain fully themselves. They learn to understand each other’s perspectives and refuse to give up on one another.

Cai Zhao needs Mu Qingyan to push her beyond her safe, predictable life. Loving him forces her to feel deeply and take risks she would never take otherwise. Without him, she could easily end up with Song Yuzhi and live a peaceful, comfortable life, but she knows she would be bored and unfulfilled. There would be no real passion there.

Mu Qingyan, on the other hand, learns to let go of his abandonment issues and becomes more open about his intentions. He is willing to give up revenge, his past identity, and even his life for the girl he loves. He chooses her over everything he once believed defined him. If any couple deserves a happy ending, it is these two.

Their adventures together were a joy to watch. The romance and chemistry are clear without ever becoming overly sweet. By the end, they truly feel like equal partners. Their ending felt earned, and I am going to miss these two bickering, stubborn, lovesick fools.

The side characters were incredible. I cried countless times because of them, and twice because of the leads. The nostalgic tone of the show was beautifully executed, and several scenes will stay with me for a long time.

Four unforgettable moments stand out:
1. Luo Yuanrong and Wu Yuanying’s final moment as they jump off the bridge together, leaving behind their tragic past.
2. Qian Xueshen remembering his family in the snowy village and realizing why he must continue living.
3. Madam Yin’s heartbreaking grief over losing her young love.
4. Guo Zigui’s final memory of enjoying Gentle Breeze and laughing by the fire.
I cried the hardest during the first and last scenes, but the other two also hit me deeply. When this drama decides to deliver emotional punches, it does so with full force.

As for the leads, the “death bed” scene in the final episode completely fooled me. If the show had committed to that ending, I would have been emotionally wrecked for a long time.




Acting: Zhou Yiran continues to be an absolute gem. He can express entire emotions with the smallest shift of his lips or a glint in his eyes. He poured everything into this role and captured the depth, cunning, and loneliness of a misunderstood character who almost enjoys being misread by the world. The only person he allows to see the truth is Zhao Zhao. Watching his pain, longing, humor, scheming, quiet joys, and especially his jealousy was incredibly fun. He brought Mu Qingyan to life in a way that feels definitive, and I cannot imagine anyone else reaching the same level of complexity and impact.

There has been criticism of Bao Shang’en for being stiff or lacking the same nuance as Zhou Yiran. It is true that she is less experienced and he is the stronger actor. However, Cai Zhao is not an easy role. She can easily become one-dimensional because she has many traits associated with a Mary Sue. What saves her from that is her internal struggle. She is drawn to someone like Mu Qingyan but cannot fully accept her feelings, so she lives in a constant state of denial while still caring deeply. Bao Shang’en captured her free-spirited nature beautifully. She gives Cai Zhao the right balance of righteousness, curiosity, and discernment, which allows her to deviate from the rules when her conscience demands it.

She is not rigid like Yuzhi. She tries to live with integrity, even when that means going against what the Six Sects believe is right. Bao Shang’en walks a fine line between portraying a tomboyish girl, a rising hero, a model disciple living under the shadow of her legendary aunt, and a young woman discovering what real love feels like. Cai Zhao grew up adored by everyone, cherished and protected, which is the complete opposite of Mu Qingyan’s upbringing. For these two worlds to collide, both actors needed to create a believable push and pull, a yin and yang that balances duty, love, and revenge. It is not an easy dynamic to portray, and although Bao Shang’en still has room to grow, I cannot picture anyone else playing Cai Zhao either.

I love both of these actors and want nothing more than to see their careers continue to rise. Their chemistry was undeniable, and I would be thrilled to see them reunite in another drama.

Both the young and older cast did a fantastic job. Everyone acted their roles perfectly, and I honestly craved more scenes and expanded background stories for everyone. 37 eps was not enough to fully showcase everyone’s backstories, but a commendable job to the casting team.




OST & Cinematography: 8/10 – You can tell the production team put real effort into the cinematography. They filmed in many live locations, and those settings captured the vastness of the world the characters inhabit. Several scenes were genuinely breathtaking and created a strong sense of wonder. However, the visual quality is inconsistent. It is easy to see which scenes were shot on location and which were filmed on sets. Since this was not an S‑tier production, the show did not reach its full visual potential. Even so, the beauty that was achieved still outweighed the weaker moments, and it never took away from the story or the characters. My only complaint is the makeup in certain scenes, where the characters looked overly pale and the makeup was very noticeable.

The OST, on the other hand, was absolutely beautiful. The music elevated every scene, especially the emotional ones. Without such a strong score, many moments would have felt less impactful, which shows how essential the right soundtrack is. The songs were used thoughtfully, supported by lovely instrumentals, and were incredibly effective. My tears usually started the moment the music began, which says everything about how powerful it was.

It was a good one I would say

Storyline was a bit expected and basic (it wasn't a problem for me though, neither for the drama itself) I dropped it at 9 episode just cause I was kind of distracted I guess, and then watched it all over again and finished. Eventually, I realized that the good part was there all along... It was an all rounder; it had romance, comedy, mystery, action, drama.. touched on everything from time to time, also loved that way about this drama. OST's was good too, "Love is you" was my favorite. Also I can't leave without adding this... leading couple was sooo cute, made me kick my feet!! I would liked to have some more romance in the storyline but it's okay, they still carried it out so well. Anyways at last, honestly the cast made me watch it. Especially Seo Kang Jun and Jin Ki Joo (obviously) I loved their chemistry. I would love to see them again in another project. I wish..

good vibes

this felt like a dating show and i love it. the main thing that i love is that it works out for both having friends and finding your match to act together in a bl but its also open to be more . you can feel that the cast genuinely care about each others too.
i like that Poom is a part of the hosts here and that they treated him nicely and warmly included him
i also loved seeing Max, him acting with few of the cast, it shows how good he is as an actor
plus the endgame is worth it too im happy for them, the last clip was good it shows that they can act and they have good chemistry. it will be cool if i can see them acting together in a bl, i hope that id see the others too having their own dramas.

Amazing! Loved it!

PLOT: The MC (unstable, with major traumas), a restaurant owner, is sent by his sister to a dentist friend (the ML) when he has a terrible toothache (against his will, as he has a phobia of dentists). Gradually, a bond forms between MC & ML, but this mutual attraction must allow them to overcome their past fears and traumas.

+++ The two actors, Andy Wu and Snoopy Yu, are fantastic: authentic, sensitive, expressive (their eye contact is superb), moving... (´ ▽`).。o♡
+++ The supporting actors are talented and bring to life endearing and well-developed characters.
+++ The OSTs perfectly complement the emotions conveyed.
+++ Story and direction: What I love about Taiwanese dramas is the intelligence of the writing (and the narration) and the subtlety of the psychological analysis... This series is a perfect example.

NO FLAWS (Too Short ??)

=> A delight: To be rewatched without moderation.
***************************************************
Génial ! Adoré !

PLOT: Le MC (instable, avec gros traumas) restaurateur, est envoyé par sa sœur chez 1 ami dentiste (le ML) lorsqu'il a 1 rage de dent (contre son gré, car il a la phobie des dentistes). Peu à peu, des liens vont se nouer, mais cette attirance réciproque doit leur permettre de surmonter les peurs et les traumas du passé.

+++ Les 2 acteurs, Andy Wu et Snoopy Yu, sont fantastiques : justes, sensibles, expressifs (jeu de regards au top), émouvants, ... (´ ▽`).。o♡
+++ Les acteurs de soutien sont talentueux et donnent vie à des personnages attachants et bien dvlpés.
+++ Les OSTs s'accordent parfaitement aux émotions transmises.
+++ Story et réalis° : ce que j'aime dans les dramas taïwanais, c'est l'intelligence de l'écriture (et de la narrat°) et la finesse de l'analyse psychologique ... Cette série en est un parfait exemple.

NO FLAWS

=> Un régal : A revoir sans modération.

Spoiler!!

Just from the synopsis, it’s clear that this isn’t an ordinary drama. It’s fiction, and it doesn’t try to hide that.
People often say this drama is good, but it actually took me quite a long time to finally decide to watch it. There were a few reasons for that.

1. this is a dorama. Some people may not be used to the style and characteristics of Japanese dramas.
2. the romance here isn’t intense or overly dramatic. For some viewers it might feel slow or even boring, but in reality it’s quite touching and even exciting in its own quiet way—especially in episodes 1–6. People who prefer the more passionate style of Western romance might find it difficult to get into this kind of story.
3. the actors. Idk how popular they are in their own country, but some viewers might not find the cast particularly eye-catching. (I can assure you I’m not one of those people 🫰🌷.)

And again, this is a dorama. Some viewers may not be used to the acting style, gestures, or dialect typical of Japanese dramas. As we know, Han Hyo-joo acts very much like a Japanese character here—her speech and gestures feel similar to those of actresses in Japanese dramas.

In reality, the story itself is very simple, isn’t it? Two people who find each other and slowly complete each other’s lives. On the other hand, it’s also about the process of making chocolate—the same kind of chocolate I usually eat when I’m having a bad day. There aren’t any heavy conflicts or shocking plot twists. Unless the writer or director suddenly decides to go crazy, the ending is pretty predictable: they will end up together and live happily.

When I watched episode 2, there was a moment when they tried to hug each other in a very awkward way. The male lead was so curious about his feelings that he moved impulsively and rushed into the moment, only to become extremely nervous afterward as he tried to analyze what he was feeling. Meanwhile, the female lead was also surprised and nervous, but she realized that the hug didn’t feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable, even though he was technically still a stranger. That moment really touched me, and it was when I started to truly like this drama.

As for the FL, I immediately suspected that she was a Korean actress the first time I saw her—and after checking, it turned out I was right. Since this is a dorama and her character is a Korean woman living in Japan, I think the styling suits her very well. Her hair and makeup resemble those of a Japanese girl, but her face still has that distinct Korean beauty.
At first, I actually found her acting a little funny because she was acting like a typical dorama heroine—you know what I mean. It’s different from the acting style in Korean dramas. But after a while, I started to like it. In fact, it means she adapted well to the role.
As for her Japanese pronunciation, I’m not really knowledgeable enough to judge that, so I won’t comment on it.

The setting is also beautiful. The drama shows a calm and peaceful atmosphere of Japan: delicious-looking chocolate, fresh ingredients, and very aesthetically pleasing set colors. Everything fits perfectly with the tone of the story—a gentle love story that feels sweet, comforting, and healing.
Honestly, the cinematography even reminded me a little of the Korean drama Can Love Be Translated?, but this one has a softer, more delicate Japanese style.

As I mentioned earlier, the story is warm and simple—at least until episode 7.
This is where the conflict starts to appear, and I think this is where the story becomes slightly less convincing. The female lead makes several mistakes and awkward decisions, but the characters around her seem to forgive her very quickly, and the resolution happens almost immediately. For example, when her secret is revealed, people accept it surprisingly fast and even support her. The acting in these moments also feels a bit awkward and distant. Sometimes there are pauses where the supporting characters simply smile without saying much. The conflict and its resolution only last about two episodes.
However, after thinking about it, I realized this might not be a big problem. From the beginning, the drama clearly presents itself as a fictional and idealized story. So overall, it still works.
As for the ending… I don’t want to overanalyze it. Personally, I see that part as a bit of nonsense because I couldn’t find any connection between that scene and the main plot of the story.

Love it so far! Very addicting

This series is a compelling blend of heart and humor. The acting is top-tier, particularly the portrayal of the female lead’s 'hard edge'—a byproduct of her self-reliant upbringing. The irony of her working tirelessly to provide for a 'wounded stranger' who is secretly a wealthy Duke adds a great layer of charm to the story. Beyond the romance, the warm relationship between the sisters provides a beautiful emotional anchor. If you're looking for a show with deep character development and great chemistry, look no further.

How can the phrase ‘You are mine, I am yours’ sound toxic?

Well, I have already read book 3, so I know what’s going to happen in this season and the last one, if they follow the original story. After watching this kind of drama, I feel like they really captured the main idea of the novel’s author and brought that vision into the series.

So, as toxic as we see in this drama, I’m not disappointed; they simply portrayed it in a live-action adaptation.

When it comes to the relationships, especially with Jay, I think she deserved a better partner. Even though it’s known that the male lead is her endgame, I think the second male lead probably has the most normal relationship with her, at least from what we can see.

I have to confess that while watching this series, I asked myself many times why I kept watching it. Why these kinds of chaotic and very unrealistic situations? Everything feels so plain and confusing. Why this combination? - At one point, I thought: "I just have to finish it quickly".

That’s just me, but I really hope they change the ending for Jay in the live-action version if they make a season 3.

If you haven’t watched this series yet, I recommend it if you want to understand what a toxic relationship can look like. At the same time, it reminds us to love ourselves more and not depend emotionally on anyone, unlike the protagonist, Jay.

i get why people didn't like this, the 1st half was ok (plot wise) but after the mains "interview" it went down hill pretty fast & sorry, but the actor playing Jae Yeon can't act to save his life & what made it worse, was his mumbling his lines - like WTF?!? & whose great idea was it to style his hair like those dogs with hair over their eyes - this a new look??? so wondered, is he connected? cause everyone else did the heavy lifting, while he thought acting cute was acting? & i don't know him (haven't seen the dating reality he was in, that i know off cause i checked out his BIO) so have nothing against him - just feel like if someone else was cast in his place, this would've been better.

even though saying that, the writing took a weird turn towards the end - it was rushed & illogical (the whole stalker thing - what he just punch Geon U, not stab him?!? what the hell was the point of that plot line??) same with the attraction, cause from where i am sitting Jae Yeon had chemistry with both brother's, so why he follow through & want Jae Yeon's kiss, but not Taewoo's? cause they grew-up together?? meeh - not even gonna mention the whole scene with the father - what was that??

so the only plus is this short, so didn't waste too much time on this & other then Jae Yeon (sorry not sorry) i think everyone has potential & i hope to see them in other projects. pointless to say this a 1 off & a never again.

two smiles can trap your soul

Romantic, spontaneous, comfortable. That’s how I’d describe the relationship between DoHoe and JuYeong. A pure feeling, slowly blossomed from smiles and silent support. Their story is sure deep and challenging, the themes are heavy, their emotions leap off the screen. I was firstly hesitant to start this series. I have been hearing about it for some time and people were excitedly sad toward it. The bar was high and I was a bit scared to feel disappointed. Also, I’m particularly sensitive and emphatical over this kind of plots. Basically, I cry a lot. I decided to watch the first episode and, after about two weeks, I saw the second and finished the whole show.
What catches me is how genuine and pure and kind this love is. The neatness makes me cry. I want this. This kind of tenderness is what I’m searching for myself. Everything feels calm and right from the beginning; there is a clear path. Their expressions, their body language have a precise direction. All the things that surround them disappear: that’s how it should be. Their life is not good but, when they are together, all the problems become dust in the wind. Simultaneously, they fight for their mutual happiness. The contrast between external and internal sensations is crystal clear: cold and warm, peace and war.

Stunning, marvellous: the plot is moving and I mean it. It shakes something in me.

The writing is amazing and charming. The conversations are true, properly deep and heavy (for example the discussions about why they separated), but also light and bright (for example them chatting while going home). The dialogues are mature and perfectly portraits the gradual evolution of the main relationship. Few more words about the 'main issue' would have been nice though. I understand what happens but still. The visuals and the cinematography are pretty fabulous as well. In particular, I love the colours and the photography. Furthermore, in my opinion, the direction is another expression of the main contrast of this project: there are lively, animated scenes (for example the taekwondo ones) that represent the chaos, the excitement, and static shoots (for example some of the ones at home) that stan for the harmony and quietness the main characters taste while being together. Even I feel at ease watching and hearing them interact. The show should be sad but it’s so well done that you forget about crying.

Not only the actors are handsome and look so good together, but the characters are both wonderfully recorded and portraited. The acting performances live up perfectly to the writing and the story.

In particular, the taekwondo scenes are amazing. Both Kim Nu Rim (DoHoe) and Lee Sun (JuYeong) do so well. I even thought there were two stuntmen, but I believe it’s not the case since I didn’t find any names in the cast. Moreover, the looks, the glances, the eyes, the kisses, the touching. Natural, authentic, everything is felt for real. And their smiles…they completely trap you. It’s difficult to explain. You just feel. A lot. There is only one take, someone is crying and it doesn’t seem that spontaneous (no spoilers). But just this one thing.
Finally, the music adds a further delicate touch to the series. It seems to match the atmosphere and to represent both the comfort and the sadness. Like a tender melody that makes you cry, it amplifies the emotions the characters pass down. You know that moment you feel down and decide to listen to sad songs? It’s the same.

An important personal consideration: the sensations I felt through this show are the same ones I had watching ‘Banana Fish’. I don’t know if you are familiar with the anime/manga. The themes are heavy, nevertheless everything is so well done that it’s impossible not to like it. So, without further ado, I highly recommend you to watch this series.


Thank you for reading <3

Conquering Cities and Hearts

A fun romp that didn't take itself seriously, a love triangle done right, some truly funny moments (especially male jealousy), and a charismatic cast made for a pleasant experience.

The Good
• The romance between the leads felt natural, and their interactions were charming. I got the feeling the actors enjoyed making this drama. It may have been due to their acting skills, but when actors convey that enjoyment to their audience, everyone has a good time.
• The comedic timing was delectable, and I say that as someone who generally doesn't enjoy over-the-top slapstick.
• The FL played the role of a man better than most actresses.
• I so appreciated the FL was intelligent and not easily deceived. The IQ of most of the leads was appreciably higher than in most comedies.

The Bad
• There is a bit too much bathroom humor, but I've dealt with plenty of children, so I'm probably jaded in that area.
• Logic wasn't the point, so little was explained and not everything made sense. Cut to a kissing scene and the viewer won't notice.

Extra half star for the inventive way each episode was introduced. I appreciate originality.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ?

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME 🥱

The drama had everything to be great. I devoured the first 4 episodes, but what happened from there???? Did they change the protagonist and forget to warn the audience? I didn’t feel her connection with the protagonist, much less with the child.

On the contrary, she left me frustrated by such a bad aunt. They lost the team to build a family relationship between the 3. And they made a character a sonsa, who only runs after the “first love” 🙄

I can’t wait to finish this drama. For me he was terrible, I don’t recommend it! A shame.

Strong leads in a writing mess

Overall I would call this a mediocre drama -- nothing terrible, nothing great.

THE GOOD
- The leads
- The setting is magical
...
- The soundtrck is pretty strong
- Some plot / side characters are cute and fun

THE BAD
- Way too much angst
- Many plotlines will repeat over and over
- Villains are flat, uninteresting, and cartoonish
- Heavy handed filial piety propaganda
- Side characters (all characters other than the leads tbh) are often overacted and have their characterization so over emphasized that they become insufferable. Especially the 2nd and 3rd male leads
- Brain off writing. Don't expect plots or character motivations to be believable or even consistent.

WATCH !!!!!

This drama was perfect! Charismatic and engaging characters. I got excited in many moments 🥹🦋🩵🩷🌙

The first episode is intriguing and makes you want to go to the second and then to the next, when you see it you already want the other episodes for yesterday. I simply devoured it and was looking forward to the next ones. I hope to meet this couple again in a future project. Mumu and zhaozhao have all my heart 🥰
I already expected the master to be the villain. And I’m happy to see that my theory was right. I liked Linghbo’s redemption, she finally realized who really liked her and went after her goals. I already consider mumu’s two faithful disciples as his best friends hahahahha

Messed up with randoms!!!

The uncanny counter is one of the best concepts in kdramas that I have watched and since I have watched season one I was really excited for season 2 but I was left with nothing but disappointment. Honestly I didn’t even know if I was watching the right show or not!!!
1. They changed the chemistry between hana and so mun, so as you start season one you can see and even feel the tension So mun had for Hana and altogether it felt like a different aura as like couples or high school sweethearts even so when so mun introduced her to his parents and his grandparents to Hana as his girlfriend but all of a sudden instead of character development in chemistry they ruined it all by giving them a sister and brother tension and giving Hana a useless love triangle and ruining the chemistry by adding her real high school crush like why was that needed? He did absolutely nothing to the story improvement whatsoever and it just ruined the relationship between Hana and so mun. Then the farm boy counter was so USELESS also why make him also interested in Hana? Like how is this helping??? My point is if you want to start a ship and a relationship between two characters then you should keep it as it is like why just change it and give the viewers and awkward atmosphere? I HATED the scenes with her and her high school crush so I skipped so many scenes which were actually waste of time .
2. I don’t feel the old chemistry between the characters, im so sorry but I felt like so mun was doing everything and the others were just there going along with it and yes I get so mun is the main character but in season one he was also the main but it still felt more powerful.
3. Comedy was so forced im so sorry!

But to the directors, please please if you make a dynamic between 2 characters dont ruin it for useless reasons or other characters. Im sure most people wanted season two to see the improvement and more chemistry between Hana and so mun but was left with nothing but disappointment. Im not sure if there will be a season three but if there is please don’t waste wonderful potentials on such stupid backstories or background characters.
