Unreasonably slow
I actually really liked the start of the show. It was nice cute and i kinda knew that this is not gonna be some hot romance. It would be ok to me if the show was slow but this is just unreasonable. Even after characters get to each other and grow close together the still talk so weirdly and soooo slooooooow. This makes all the dialogs feel extremely unnatural and dragging. Do you really need to put some deep almost phylosophical meaning into every single sentence you say to your loved ones? Idk it just didnt feel real and that was bothering me so much.And its so annoying because first few episodes were sooo good! Why is that it so often feels like korean screenwriters wrote first few episodes and cooked the rest on the fly? Why is it that the show is awesome at the start and mediocre at best in the end? Its so annoying.
What i liked on this show was development of FL. She is such a good actress and if she didnt have to go trhough such bad dialogues in the end it would bo soo good.
Idk such a wasted potential

Only watched it for KYK
So dreamy, KYK. I only watched the drama to watch him. Kdrama fixation.Don't care if he emotes two dimensionally or whatever else people are complaining about. Just happy to see him glide by and watch that face!
The FL was also lovely and the rest of the cast was the good, underplayed k drama actors who are actually the unsung pillars.
I must commend that lady who plays the wicked mother.
Did not check what her actual name and age is, but she is gorgeous.
Not sure how she ended up consistently playing a philandering wicked mother - have seen her in atleast 3 dramas doing the same wicked stuff.
But she has the courage to continually play the terribly villainous mother and excels in her negative craft.
This drama needed a lot more intimacy because the slow burn is fiery but ends with cold water.
There was ample room for it but it was wasted with just despair longing.
Needs a serious fix.

Too pink
I don't normally review dramas that I've dropped but I had to mention the pink filter. The PD explained that it's supposed to be like the sunset at the end of a tiring day or the sunrise full of hope which is a lovely sentiment but the execution is poor. Every scene has an overlay of cotton candy pink that is incredibly distracting. It doesn't help that some scenes are over lit with harsh shadows. Yes there are some gorgeous shot compositions but it's ruined by the miasma of pink. That plus some implausibilities in the story made me give up.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

How could they not get KYK out of his mould?!
I have not much to say - and I’m on ep7 - but I feel the casting&director missed a trick here!The story is simple, the writer kept the side stories to a minimum. Which is okay if the main story held a bit more weigh - what is killing it for me is the main male character. It’s infuriating that they left KYK to play this two dimensional persona, with no charisma, relatability and non expression ! I just wished I can go and slap him to start acting- he is playing someone depressed and lonely - and I know, those people are hardly two dimensional; character with two impressions
She is a bit better, but not much - I’ve seen her chapter before from her.
The rest of the cast is is ok - the “lower” you go on the pecking order the better then actors actually!
But why no one told him that being tall and handsome is not enough to play a complex character?! Why?!

this is way overrated
So, i came to watch this with high expectations given the rating... But it's really not much to see, unless you have a lot of free time on your hands. First of all, i'd say they miscast the main leads, i totally cannot relate to their characters and i cannot see any chemistry, though obviously they are both very good in their own parts. Still something is really off... The illusion of life is hardly there, despite the realistic details and the slow pace of the drama.Second, the drama is packed with tropes and nonsensical things, typically k-drama - like. The revenge story turns into love, everybody is good-looking and single, a generous well-off friend is always there to help, the leads by coincidence keep bumping into each other etc.
Seriously, for the first few episodes the FL just walks around with a gloomy look while wearing sneakers and a dark hoodie... The ML does the same, just wearing a suit and staring blankly. We got it, can we please move on? No sense of humour, just toxicity to a new level - toxic ex, toxic love, toxic families, toxic working environment, gloomy faces, depressing clothing, harming yourself, harming the others...
Putting it on hold indefinitely.

Slow Burn Romance tetapi Tidak Membosankan
Awalnya saya tertarik karena Lee Sungkyung dan Kim Youngkwang yang membintangi drama ini. Bahkan saya kira drama ini merupakan drama romantis komedi. Ternyata saat mencari sinopsisnya dan membaca review di Twitter saat drama ini tayang, drama ini merupakan drama dengan genre melodrama - slow burn romance bertemakan balas dendam, namun ujung-ujungnya menjadi cinta. Jujur, saya adalah penikmat drama dengan genre seperti ini, namun kadang saya takut dengan endingnya- karena saya adalah tim happy ending. Tetapi saya memutuskan untuk mencoba menontonnya.Banyak orang yang mengatakan bahwa alur dari drama ini lambat, namun ternyata setelah saya nonton, saya malah ketagihan! Walau permasalahan antar tokoh utamanya lambat, tetapi banyak masalah lain yang disuguhi, sehingga penonton tidak akan bosan. Berbagai emosi juga ditampilkan, sehingga penonton akan merasakan roller coaster mood. Tentunya ditambah denga chemistry antara si couple tinggi Lee Sungkyung dan Kim Youngkwang yang juara!
Sampai episode yang saya tonton saat ini, keduanya masih minim skinship. Bahkan saat mengobrol pun mereka duduk dengan jarak yang agak jauh dan tidak saling menatap mata, namun tetap berhasil membuat gemas dan gigit jari. Sehabis dibuat gemas dengan interaksi keduanya, penonton akan diingatkan dengan permasalahan utama di antara mereka, yang membuat hati cemas- apakah keduanya bisa bersatu atau tidak. Setelah itu penonton juga akan dibuat marah dan emosi dengan penyebab dari semua masalah ini dimulai. Pokoknya tidak akan menyesal!
Sejauh episode yang saya tonton ini, saya memberikan skor 8.2/10. Di tengah gempuran drama dengan genre yang berat, drama ini bisa sedikit meringankan pikiran dan membantu meluapkan emosi. Belum lagi dengan banjirnya konten fan service dari Lee Sungkyung dan Kim Youngkwang di Instagram, membuat kita semakin gemas dibuatnya. I really recommend u to watch this drama!
