some relationships are so toxic and need so much work, it's better to just end it

Koreans yet again treating the non skinny one as someone obsessed with food, beside the poster of only him with food, ppl can be fat without being hungry all the time
And they can enjoy food without being, pigs…

Which goes back to his romance line with the annoying girl calling him a pig every time she sees him… that’s her nickname for him. Pig… even if she sees him she goes “oh there’s pig”, “I just saw pig”.. and he thinks he’s lucky someone “skinny” like her would be interested in him
lol even beside that I really dislike her, she gives off a condescending cocky attitude

And they’re already using fillers cuz ml and fl are just brooding over the breakup

the start was cute but later it became a dragging plot

ok I think my short interpretation of this would be a modern 21st century love story that is still stuck in a cliche mold?
their relationship/chemistry feels natural and they dealt with the fan thing as best as they could (the best thing would've been no fan-to-lovers, but oh well)

the families are booorring and unfitting, I do not care for them one bit.

and I don't really care for the male friendship, even the bromance feels flat.. I don't get why or how they are friends, they just feel like 3 people that are in the same space. also the fact that they didn't give the fl any sort of friendship or family is alarming ;/

so the worst point of this is the super duper cliche arc they used for the fl! the drunk pity party that makes the guy fall for her weak "cute" side, the "it's all my fault everyone hates me!", the "I've never dated before becasue I am a sad unworthy person", the fact that she bickers back with everyone and then suddenly becomes docile is just bad writing...
in ep2 she was answering back to every criticism her boss told her as if they were friends and now she's the weak silent victim to the crazy boss who's randomly out to get her ;/
and then the ml is being possessive already? "don't drink with other me becasue you look cute".. you don't own her ;/

the worst sign is when I skip an ep and I don't feel like I missed anything, I didn't realize I didn't watch ep3 until ep4 was over and I was looking for the next ep xD
I personally have a rule, I give dramas 1/4 a chance and if I don't like them I drop

+ I liked the girls, I mean this could be considered a female centered plot though the evil guys were practically a village
+ the dream vs reality was a cool concept
+ the last ending scene was interesting

- the mystery crime was lacking, ALOT
- the evil guys felt like random people they found on an island, and tbh fey's dad's face gives me nightmares ;D
- lack of romance (though it didn't need it as aya said) but her and cop guy would've been a cute couple
- everyone was either raped or committed suicide ;/

as a mystery genre it felt lacking, and the quality seems like a 2012 production with the cheap filming and aesthetics

I like it, I thought the 1ml was the food guy and he was soooo bland, but I mean all 6 are somewhat equal but book guy is sooo cute?

Idk if I’m lagging to like a red flag, but the other two are so beige? but they all have their issues

Like police dude saying “i wanna know everything about my future partner” then goes and says cute fl “talks too much about herself”

Tho it’s ironically accurate cuz if ppl stay single that long, there must be some baggage, we’ve become too comfortable alone, dreading a coexistence, yet not wanting to be lonely
The men are all huge red flags, not moving away from the first no? like it takes them five “no” to stop?
Ml went from sweetly saying he’ll wait for any touch for max 3 years, and only touch her finger cuz she asked, to not move when she changed her mind?

And the women all have severe anger issues ? it’s been like a week for all and they already want unlimited devotion?

Leia Mais

it’s so flat, nothing happened after the initial bang
The dialogues are basic, the characters are 1D and the story has been done to death

I stopped caring about this after ep4, mainly cuz it went inside a maze and it’s still going in circles

Like he was there and she saw him at the end of last ep and the start of this ep and she’s still wondering what’s up
Basically I had this on x2 and I didn’t even look but nothing happened

Sad I love Kim kangwoo but he left the evil second lead, became a great actor, lost into cheesy naive roles in romcoms and now he’s a typecast cheater zzzzzzzzzzz

I still love him but I won’t tolerate this and I’m pretty convinced anyone who praises this is just doing it for foot actor


Unless something happens, with twists, imma drop this zzzzzzzzzzz
Everything is exactly what one would think from ep1, only one tho was different, but now it’s a boring circle which is sad cuz the cast are amazing but his became another “Trolley” which just means typical repetitive cheap makjang zzzzzz

The thing that was shocking was her killing that guy, the fake sister, the cheating husband, the revengeful son, the corrupt politician zzzzzzzzz
There’s nothing going on besides dragging all of that



In trolley the shock was that her sweet husband wasn’t just a cheater but also a rapist who hurt her good friend and kept tormenting her, I think :)

double wrist grabs in 2020? how unoriginal

edit: I read some of the spoilers from ep10 and my 1st prediction after ep1 was right, so that means the story was built on 1 plot move and 1000 misunderstandings and miscommunication ;D ie a waste of time ;)

the fl stands up for herself and she even called Dae Oh as a loser so they acknowledge his annoying side, but the wrist grabs drive me crazy especially the double wrist grab at the end ;/

they are not bickering, they are purposely hitting below the belt?. they might now be doing it becasue both are hurt and once the misunderstanding goes away they'll be all lovey dovey, but at the end of the day they chose to say/think those words....

my theory (not a spoiler) is that Dae Oh is the dad, self centered actor liked her too so he never cleared their misunderstandings if not add more fuel to the fire. she saw Dae Oh with another woman and she went to self centered actor ie the rain scene, and teacher dude loved her so much that he wanted to "take responsibility" for her and his mom hated that he was going to raise another man's kid so she bribed/hurt ae jung and told her to leave. I don't know how gangster dude is related, but add the actress and we'll get 10 more eps of misunderstandings and venomous fights ;/

it really can't be any other guy because 1- she was happy to see actor guy, 2- she didn't remember teacher dude 3- she didn't even know gangster guy. and 4- she hated seeing dae oh again. and the grandma did say "he's dead to her" so I mean you won't not remember the person you hate/love

I "accidentally" skipped ep5 tho I gladly didn't wanna go back and started 2xing this

Basically, nice filmography, great actors (minus foot actor, dude even blinks slow and weird ?) tho soobinie "out acted" all, flat 1d characters (the brooder, the fainter and the overly self centered "cool" kid) the actors couldn't save, and childish plot.
If this wasn't sold as a 6eper I'd have dropped at ep1

This feels like a parody, like Blade knight (?), horrible horrible writing
Tho maybe if this was made as a teen flick, with younger 20 year old actors would've fit these bunch of idiots that lacked maturity ✌??

The good, aesthetic, nice fight scenes

The bad?
Non believable skinny girl vs not only muscled men, 10s of men but also weaponed men
It wouldn’t have hurt them to add more characters even female and let her have her own set of comrades and not just a teen
The story was flat, no connection to any character no sympathy and super detached

Also extremely misogynist, not only were women the toys and victims of these drug dealers, but if this was a man saving the day, he’d have been feared, praised, respected but they kept calling her crazy btch, satanic btch, not taken seriously, and overreacting??? Dude does anyone ever call a revenge driven male lead as “overreacting”?
“Aw dude why are you killing us you’re so overreacting”
did anyone ever say that to ma dong suk?
And worst of all “spoiler”, near his death bed and he says she was fat? Fat? Really? He murders someone and goes “ah man she was so fat I thought she lied about being a ballerina”, and I mean like what fat? She was a walking twig

kim mu yeol is everywhere yet he’s always such a generic character with no impact

I might collect pointers of my previous comments and write a better review tomorrow (said 8 months ago)


this filled my days with sparkle when i needed it the most, thank you writernim for not creating another repetitive, i mean, thank you for creating a beautiful experience and remind me of the reason i love kdramas

It’s heartbreaking , I need to continue in a world without anymore watermelon sugar
This was like a healing medicine in my worst times this year, 16 days of a beautiful warm hug

I’m always disappointed in dramas I look forward to but I’m always pleasantly surprised by dramas I’m not looking forward to
Easily num1 drama of 2023 for me and will definitely be in my ult tops along with their characters

I would say the perfectness of it all, is too much
Their sadness and life made them who they were, eungyeol was so empathetic and in tune to people’s emotions cuz of his upbringing
Though yes, he suffered and carried too much burden but he grew into an amazing person

But then again, life sucks so might as well get a beautifully wrapped up drama, and yes I hate sad endings so give me all the rainbow sugar and twinkles of the world in my drama, happy happy happy

I’d like eungyeol to “remember” his new life, I’d also like to see how eunyo’s changed and I’d love to see those 28 years of growth and hard work
And I’d want to see their reunion
Yechan went to the same university, so I’d guess after highscool ended cheongah or even her dad, brought yechan to the same university
All in all, life’s a journey, everyone has their own and everyone has the same “weight”, my life isn’t harder than yours, it’s not a competition. Every hardship has the same equal effect and one must understand how others are going through the same
Burdening oneself with other’s hardships isn’t the answer but not acknowledging them is as bad


I'll add the rest as ep reviews

Leia Mais

Basic and not sweet
It’s about two people that had a trauma about relationships, they found each other and started an overly long awkward relationship

Without the last misunderstanding this could’ve been way shorter
The older brother though I’d love to watch a movie with him

thing was funny about this, she didn’t trust men so she chose a naive guy and he never made a move on a woman so he needed an action taker
Simple and perfectly made for each other
The bro and daughter carried the trauma with them more that they caused the last conflict, but I was disappointed when he hit his brother when he kept saying he didn’t do anything
