Could have been as good as bong soon but turned into a disaster!
**Spoiler alert-a messed up love story between a girl (mom sol hui) who can hear lies and a guy (Kim do ha) who is a murder suspect!**
well the starting few episodes were actually good to watch and gave the series a head start. but guess what, unnecessary dragging of plots, too much filler scenes made it into something that made me only fast forward the somehow complete the show.
the episodes with neighbours are still tolerable but the episodes with Sol Hui's monther are absolutely boring and unnecessary and pretty irritating! just couldn't understand why on earth they spent so much time on Sol Hui's parents!
the unraveling of the murder case could have been way better.
the romance! where is the romance!!!! where is the chemistry between the leads! neither emotional, nor sexual tension I could see between the leads. the second lead was better at least there was visible love for fl in his eyes...
i wanted to like both the leads but inspite of being cute they are unlikable. FL' s reactions were pretty much same for all situations where ML was stuck in poker face. i tried, trust me I tried to like them but just couldn't.
I really expected this to be masterpiece like Bong Soon and considering the girl's power it had the potential but bad and dragged up plot, zero chemistry and nonsense murder mistery made it a disaster!!!
oh please... not gonna watch again!!!!

Fluffy Cute CEO Romance with no plot!!!
ML Gu Won is a heir of a Hotel chain owner and head manager of the Hotel, ofc he has his share of childhood trauma eventually fell for a beautiful staff SaRang (FL).This is a typical CEO romance, both leads are visual treats. extraordinary screenplay, has beautiful vacation, date nights, nice kisses and amusement park scenes.
If you liked CEO romance like Secretary Kim or Business proposal then it's a must watch for you.
Now if we look into the story, the love between the leads are just perfect but there are many flaws if we look into peripheral things like the ML is achieving things one after another but never showed him actually working. While he is in hotel, either he is busy thinking about SaRang or running after her. He won the political game yet they never showed that he is well connected with other board members. On what basis he is achieving success is not clear.
same goes with the past trauma of ML. His mother just left and comes back years later and things get normal just like that. I mean there should have been more to overcome his trauma but they dint pay much attention to it.
The sister is unnecessarily cruel, however her kid is super cute I enjoyed his interaction with Sarang.
What I enjoyed in this show?
Sarang! She is just like a sunshine spreading happiness with beautiful smile. she is hard working and eventually she realised her dream.
She is strong and her love towards Gu Won is beautifully presented in the show.
The granny of Sarang, ofc she is the best Halemoni of kdrama and here also she just outdid her role.
The makers paid much attention to Sarang's personal growth in the story but kinda ignored (or you can spent less time on) Gu Won's charecter development.
Sarang's friend who's husband is a cheater never get the justification of her situation. she is independent she could have moved on from that toxic family yet they wrapped up her story super fast, this part is pretty annoying!! if the makers can't rectify a toxic story, why bother showing it!!!
the roommate (airhostess)kinda get silver lining so I was happy for her.
however this is supposed to be a fluffy romcom and everyone gets a happy ending, the screenplay is beautiful so we as an audience are expected to be happy at the ending and that all it matters!! But wait does that mean there won't be any original approach!!!
Do i like ceo romance? goddam yes!!
Do I re-watch CEO romance dramas? absolutely yes!
Would I re-watch this one? - ummmm few particular episodes may be!!
P. S - I looooveee the ost though ?

That famous story of Chirpy cute girl falling for cold genius boy!!!
Looking for a fluffy cringe romance??Here it is!!
Honestly I watched it because it's from the same author as Hidden Love.
It's a high-school romance where the cute and chirpy girl Su zai zai falls for genius of the school jang lu rang who is ofc cold and introvert!!
Eventually the boy falls for her but harder.
The story is cute but sometimes cringe and I feel su zai zai is little extra at times!
It's a cute story that's all. I m not understanding the buzz of 10/10. It's just a 7 for me.
I am happy with my one time watch. Not gonna watch again though!!

Better than many other rom com released in 2024
disclaimer: thank God I dint know about the webtoon version.The storyline - not bad at all. unraveling the curse and lifting it they kept the story intact. mountain God (gumiho) holding a grudge has definitely gave me a vibe of tale of nine tailed but it's not exactly copy.
the cast was good. the kisses were fire!
the supporting charecters got their own story which I liked.
what I don't like is it could be finished in 12 episodes. they dragged a bit. else it's alright.
if someone can buy the plot of kind the land (like the most common 3rd gen chaebol guy with childhood trauma) then I don't know why the same audience did dirty to this show.
ignore the reviews, go watch. I know you will feel it's dragged somewhere, so just fast forward those parts. but just watch. it's not as bad as the reviews are saying!

Such a cute drama! Absolutely worth it!
Well it's indeed a good watch.I am still new to Cdrama and 24 episodes sometimes feel like drag but this one was perfect.
The first half of the story I enjoyed a lot.
I loved the charecter development of the Leads and the supporting characters. The makers truely paid attention to the story of the supporting roles.
Now come to the leads -
Zhou Lusi (Gu Shengnan) -
Omg she is such a cutie and ofcourse a talented actor. I felt that she is the perfect Gu Shengnan. The quirky, ambitious chef with a soft heart and a cute smile, she just outdid the role.
Lu Jin-
He is perfect too. He is a businessman and he was expected to behave the way he did. He fell for her and cherished her deeply. The love from his side was so mature that none of the external things could actually move him away from her..
Also the Food prep scenes were paid actors which kept me hooked to this drama.
Well I gave it an 8 allover because I was somewhat fast forwarding in the second half. Shengnan falling for Lu Jin's brother's tricks bored me.
It's indeed a CEO romance but it's not super cringe, instead the makers showed that the same genre can be represented with different approach.
Go for it, you won't regret for sure.

Slow burn but too slow that I had to skip episodes
I am pretty much new into C drama as compared to k drama. I haven't watched any work the Leads before so I am not biased anyway.The story is good, could have been better!!
Song Yan (ml) and Xu Qin (fl) were a couple and loved each other like crazy but fl's mom is a snob and tore them apart. After years they met and the story starts...
The good parts -
Omg the rescue scenes, these are really worth watching the show. So realistic and well executed screenplay.
The emergency ward is also pretty good and also worth watching.
The charecter development of the FL is good thing to watch, she eventually moved on from her toxic family and realised that the toxicity of her mom is something she must deal with in order to keep her own peace.
The loyalty of the ML is just unrealistic yet it's something a girl can cherish for. His charecter development is also good.
The tension between the two is something to be enjoyed in this show. Whenever they are facing each other the emotions just come out and quite visible from their expressions yet they try to hide and it's really add perks in their chemistry.
However the parts I really didn't like-
Many episodes feel like repeating the previous one. I mean it was predictable that in next episode there will be a rescue scene and Qin will approach Song Yan when she is absolutely clueless what to do if Song Yan comes back, because she has no guts to leave her toxic family.. later on she matured and moved on but that could have been done without repeating episodes.
It's a good watch, I enjoyed a lot and I would say it's a must watch for once!
But ngl I won't rewatch it as it's too slow.
P. S - Yang Yang is too hot to handle ;-)

Just fine for one time watch!
I don't write reviews yet here I am! I have watched more than 100 k dramas and this is the first one which looked liked an adaptation of a drama from Western countries.Well, long story short, Yo Na Bi (female lead) fell for a red flag and just got broke up in the first episode to guess what - fell for another red flag the male lead Park Jae Eon!!!
She keeps falling for him again and again knowing that she is behaving pathetic and he is a bad news wrapped in a handsome and charming face!! He is that guy who is nice and warm to every girls around and ofcourse good in bed!
While watching this show I literally felt like it's a poor adaptation of Western series, because we don't watch k dramas for this. If I wanna see red flag, I would watch Valeria all over again because the male lead viktor is a fucking hot red flag.
Also if the makers really wanna break the kdrama stereotypes and show steamy scenes then they must know it's a long way for them!
However, I like the charecter development of supporting roles. It's kinda cute.
If you are planning to watch it then be ready for 10 episodes of toxicity and if you don't want to watch then it's okay, you aren't missing anything.

Overrated because of the famous leads
Story started off good.. but then it's just lost it's way in between.The ML and FL are a couple who broke up long back and are facing each others after few years due to some unforeseen situation - that's where the story starts.
Now going back n forth , eventually we understand that the FL is a self centred bitch who pushes away Ung (ml) again and again as per her convenience, where Ung is an innocent boy who fells for the same girl again n again however he also failed to communicate properly due to his introvert sort of nature and loses the girl again n again.
I couldn't find anything to love in this series--
the story is just spilled all over.
The leads are cold (unpopular opinion, because the reviews are full of saying they are warm), when they bicker or face each other after years of break up I could find only awkwardness and no emotional or sexual tension which could improve the chemistry.
Huge communication gap between the leads, they just don't talk, they assume and react based on their assumptions.
Also unpopular opinion, the leads might be famous stars but I found their expressions are pathetic in this series, Ung loves the girl but his face is always looked so blank, and like he was forced to make poker face throughout the show which can actually push away any girl whether she is self centred or not.
I slept off between many episodes and dropped it many times however finished it recently.
I won't recommend it to anyone. Such an overrated drama!!!!
I couldn't give less than 1 in re-watch value but for me it's rewatch value is in negative, I shouldn't have been watched at the first place!!!!!

A good watch!!!
A period drama with political mistery! Initially it started with a bang, but what I feel, that it ended up not as good as it started off.They could've been showed Min Jae yi (FL) charecter more in action. She did her part well. However, the story leaves many open ends. Even at the end she couldn't remember the day when her family was murdered. She was indeed a victim of dirty politics but her situation and grief of losing family was never avenged. I know it's not a love story but I expected more warmth from the crown prince, because the feeling was mutual.
Now come to the ML, the crown prince, started being cursed and all but suddenly he starts doing just fine. I really wanted to see unraveling of that curse part. Also he could have been little more warm towards the FL but even he loved her he kept holding back his feelings even after her honest confession.
The story of twins (the body guard and his assassin brother) was also sort of incomplete.. could have showed little more.
The support roles are pretty fine. The story was absolutely good but after 19th episode it was wrapped up like there is no time in the world!
I mean all these mistery was resolved in just one and half episode in hurry so that many things left open ended.
Wanted more story on that old guy who hypnotized grand prince!
There were many filler parts which could have been removed and they could resolve the mistery from episode 17 may be!
However I liked the story, it's definitely a good watch. I like both the leads. Park Hyung Seek is good but he could do better. I love the FL. She is just perfect and did just to charecter even in the last episode when crown prince came to confess to her.
All over I would say, if you like period drama please give it a try you won't regret watching it.
P. S - I dint understand that justification of the title at all!! If anyone understands please share.. :-)

Male lead with Toxic traits!!!
Unpopular Opinion and Spoiler alert!!!!Li Xun (male lead) with genius coding ability meets up a cute yet strong headed girl Zhu Yun in college. They had another from Gao who turns out to be the villain charecter later..
Male lead Li Xun-
Absolutely toxic, just because he is genius he looks down on everyone. Has no sense of respect towards others opinion, would he valued Gao a little then he could get a friend for life and not an enemy.
Later he kinda did same with his buddy from the jail too..
Li Xun loves Zhu Yun but continuously kept things hidden from her. Also for no reason he always get privileges, like for what reason??? Just because he is genius!!
I dint understand why throughout the show he tried to push away the enormous love and positivity of Zhu Yun so hard that she kinda became obsessed with him!! Like what was his point? He is a 10/10 red flag and he is the reason Gao became a villain!!!
May be deep down he is a soft hearted person, may be but what exactly did Zhu Yun so bad that he crushed her heart like anything with his harsh words that too again n again!!! Nobody wants this kinda soft hearted arrogance in their life...
Liao Gao -
The third wheel of the trio and the villain -
I liked how the makers portray his charecter. He was a good human being and was loyal towards his buddy Li Xun, all he wanted Li Xun to acknowledge him for at least some thing. But Li Xun kept on disrespectinh him and literally made him a negative charecter!!
Female lead Zhu Yun
A strong headed, cute girl. She fell for Li Xun hard that she becomes obsessed with him. She got rejected by Li Xun many times, he humiliated her for her family yet she kinda protected and justified all his toxic traits..
Allover story -
Too much dragged and I kept on fast forwarding. The love between the leads felt like one sided obsession of the FL!
Ost - I like the tracks.
I don't know what is the reason of 9 /10 floating on the review section but the toxicity of ML and obsession of FL pretty much annoyed me.
I won't rewatch it anyway!!!
