Love Scout

This is just a review of the first two episodes, as that is all we have to date. I am already wishing I hadn't heard of this until all episodes were released and I could binge it. I have a good feeling about this series. It appears to be 12 episodes, which, if they keep a tight storyline, will I'm sure be perfect. I'm not a fan of characters getting together and breaking up often over stupid misunderstandings just as a time filler. Although I'm happy with time away from the main characters if there are interesting secondary character plotlines. Which I think there may be going by the quick peek at the 3rd episode we received.

Right away I was interested in the premise of this series as I had enjoyed the Ryan Reynolds/Sandra Bullock romcom movie with Reynolds as the very put upon male assistant to Sandra Bullock, and I still rewatch that.

Love Scout is not a comedy but I'm loving the vibe and there were some amusing moments. I will always give a series a chance, watching at least two if not three episodes to ensure I have grasped and am in invested in the main world/character build. This caught me within 30 minutes. By the end of the 2nd episode I was immediately checking to see how long I had to wait for the next episode.

5 days!!!!!!! Luckily, as I am late to the KDrama party, (2023) I have a lot of amazing shows to catch up on. I will update next weekend.

From the very first episode I was hooked. I wish I did not know about this drama until it is all done. I cannot wait for every week to finish for the next episode. I always start from episode 1 every week. The "kilig" is always there. Very light drama. Not a thriller. Another story of romance office drama. The leading man in the drama is the greenest of the green flag. The act of service is so damn good! A ceo who is messy and clumsy really needs a secretary who is organize, neat, spotless. Hoping they can release 3 episode every week. Cannot wait for the plot of this drama. Can't wait for the next episode!

It was a struggle to get to the end of this wearisome series. The first few episodes showcased the slooooooww build up of the lethargic romance between the two leads. He looks at her. She glances at him. He looks at her again. He blinks. They're alone in the office. He falls asleep and she touches his nose. She's had too much to drink and she leans in, but will they kiss? No. Big nothing burger. The director thinks it's an amazing scene, so they show it twice. Then the two leads experience the least exciting date I've ever seen in a Korean drama-a piano recital!

Lots of shots of the deserted office at night with one or the other leads or both of them working diligently. They enjoy lots of meals/snacks together, and product placement proliferates. A certain Korean candy bar takes center stage three times. It's name is forever burned into my psyche.

At Episode Seven, the writers wake up and realize that there's not much emotional tension in this series, so they throw in a contrived complication. She weeps. He holds her. Will this non-tragedy drive our two lovers apart?

Nope. Back to business as usual. Meanwhile, the insipid dialogue deserves an award for pointlessness: "What's your favorite weather?" "Did you ever day-drink before?" Another couple exclaim over the fact that they're both wearing the same style of shoes.

Finally, toward the end, the evil villain makes a move. Now there's actually a conflict of sorts. But it's too late. The audience has been bored into oblivion.

I really enjoyed till the 4th episode cant wait for the 5th episode. The main thing i like about the drama is the cast, the main leads acting was phenomenal. To be honest i didn't have high expectation for this drama but after i watched it i fell in love with it. The story is the same as in any other romantic drama but i don't why i like this K drama i think it is because of the cast, Lee Jun-hyuk and Han ji min's acting was phenomenal i really loved it, ngl their were some emotional parts which was unnecessary. It caught me off the bat when i saw the first episode. Wanna give special thanks to the director who made the script and the story.

I REALLY LIKED IT BUT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON **THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION**

I don't usually write reviews, but LOVE SCOUT deserves every word of love and appreciation I can give it. This isn't just another KDrama - this is the KDrama. My most favourite ever. And trust me, I've seen a lot.

What makes LOVE SCOUT so special is its simplicity, its honesty, and the beautiful way it portrays love. No unnecessary melodrama, no chaotic twists, no toxic fights or typical KDrama chaos. Just two people - Eun-ho and Kang Ji - slowly, gracefully falling in love. And that slow burn? It's so real, so tender, it stays with you long after the show ends.

I actually discovered this gem through some Insta edits of Eun-ho and Byeol. Byeol looked super cute, so I gave it a try. That one random decision changed everything. I found my perfect KDrama. The one I'll always come back to.

Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk? Absolutely flawless. Their chemistry is pure magic. They're sweet, mature, and so incredibly lovable together. I genuinely hope to see them share the screen again someday. They're that good.

Also, if you're someone who's tired of the usual KDrama tropes and over-the-top storytelling, please give LOVE SCOUT a chance. It's refreshingly different in the best way possible.

LOVE SCOUT is not just a show. It's a feeling. And for me, it's forever.
