    Watchable banger of a show

    Excellent balance of genre characteristics with enjoyable humous scenes.

    Characterr arc of Male lead is developed nicely from battered powerlord to protective lovebird.

    Female lead is convincing in her performance.

    Side character arcs are a bit patchy but provide enough plot development.

    Mis-en-scene and art direction is stunning.

    Give it a try.

    Tell me how can I get over this Cdrama

    I can not move on so I decided to watched again.

    This is so loving!! Seriously one of the best dramas of 2025 for me so far! Loving how the story is developing.

    The first C-drama that plots are not reusable, no misunderstanding because they always asked each other. That's why I love it so much.....

    The drama is masterpiece, it keeps you engage in them so much that you forget the time. The chemistry between the lead is so strong Even just standing or staring and the eyes is also acting.

    It's very interesting, it's balance the funny scenes and the drama and also I really really love their pairing so much.

I'm completely obsessed, it's definitely a 10/10 from me! The chemistry between the leads is incredible, and the way the plot unfolds makes it impossible to stop watching. Each scene feels so intense and beautifully done, with the perfect mix of romance, mystery, and action. I can honestly say this drama stole my heart - it's not just a series, it's an experience that leaves me speechless every time. Truly unforgettable!
