What a surprisingly perfect show! I am a fan of contract marriages, revenge dramas, romances involving revenge and family dynamics, and this drama had it all. The actors were a pleasant surprise too, since I was seeing most of them for the first time, including the leads, and that when I have watched over a hundred K-Dramas already. I loved it that the story concluded in 12 episodes, and there were no unnecessary stretches that needed skipping or forwarding. I finished the show in two days flat, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting drama that keeps you hooked from start to finish!
For the first time I can say that one drama did proper justice to the original webtoon. When the announcement of this drama came out I was very sceptical about it. But after the first episode itself I was super impressed. Each single character did an amazing work. I was actually surprised to see that they were able to conclude the entire webtoon in the 12 episode drama. Few important points weren't included in the drama. They could have been included if it were a 14 or a16 episode drama. But again it could have been dragged unnecessarily.
Main leads -10/10 Chemistry-10/10 Story -11/10 Engagement -9/10.

Yes, It's a low-budget drama , but it has a lot of unique things, nowadays drama doesn't have. The simplicity, the excellente chemistry, the no exaggerated acting, and most importantly the warmth vibe.
To be more specific, I'm talking about the ML and FL. The others were so annoying except the ML's mother and grandmother ^^
Lastly I had a crush on Sung hoon during "My Secret Romance" and Idk why, but he disappeared suddenly, till now I heard about this drama and I renewed my love for him, I really want to see him more, his natural /warm acting and charming appearance should not get wasted.
Btw: Why do I always end up liking the less popular actors with beautiful talent, but zero luck? This man right here (sung hoon) has a huge potential but unfortunately misguided. He need to challenge himself and try other genres beside romance.

I would classify this as "Kdrama - Melrose Place Style." It moves pretty quickly. It's not filled overly cliched Kdramas scenes (umbrella rescue, brushing teeth together, adults kissing with their eyes wide open.
The plot is straight forward with lots twists. Some predictable, some not.
The acting was a little eh in places but the FL did wonderful in her switch up. Sung Hoons voice sometimes is a little too deep so his lines come out like a Broadway performer but he's still pretty!
I'd absolutely recommend this if you want a more American night time soap feeling show versus a typical makjang.

This series has all components what a viewer look for Romance, Fantacy , Time travel , Suspense , Cruelty etc. Whole plot is interesting but it got slow and boring with some unnecessary exaggerated scene.
The plot is different from other K Drama, it is more likely like Indian sop opera with a cruel step mother and sister.
Lead Actor Jung Yoo- Min have done such a phenomenal acting that you will fall in love with him and even the supporting actors have done such a great job.
I would have have given it 10 star, if there would be more love scene or cute moments, but overall must watch this drama if you are searching for unique drama.
