Masterful Storytelling - Not a crier until this one!

I'm honestly don't understand the comments that say this drama was overhyped. Sure, did it have some tropes? Yes. And at times, I thought it was too tragic (like Hyun-Woo's car accident was uneccessary. The kidnapping was enough!) However, I thought that this was a well told story. I thought the writing and the pacing were done well, the ending didn't feel rushed. It felt like a really raw and honest story. Casting was perfect (KSH and KJW did amazing! So did PSH - i hated his character so much), music was good and well placed, and beautiful cinematography. We got to see what happens when people miscommunicate, how feelings can get skewed, examples of good love vs unhealthy obsession and the need to be open. I think all the characters had well-written and believable character development. We got plenty of romance, tension, laughs, annoyance (ALL the feels) throughout. I don't feel like there were any plot holes or filler scenes. Everything about the way this story was told was engaging to me. I really loved it. I have never really cried while watching dramas, but I was definitely crying with everyone else in this one (How dare they call this a rom com! lol).

Loved it! Would recommend, but I don't think I could watch it again ( even though I know how it ends I don't think I could go through that again lol!)

I really enjoyed this drama! I wasn't sure about the plot at first because I get tired of the chabeol plots but after watching an edit on TikTok I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did!

It was a perfect blend of emotional, funny, action, detective work. I really enjoyed Ahn Bo Hyun's character. I also enjoyed the way all the characters developed. It was fun to see them becoming a team and working so well together.

The cases they worked on were interesting and that plot twist at the end was oooof! I would absolutely watch it again and am hoping they follow through with a second season!

Enjoyed it overall!

The casting was perfect! Li Xian is so handsome and Zhou Yu Tong is charming. The music was also good and I liked the plot. I liked the way it talked about death, as that is one inevitability of life. It had a good combination of emotional scenes with romance and comedy.

The leads had such good chemistry that during their intimate and vulnerable moments, I would forget that it was a fictional story. I was swooning a long with them.

The issue is with the character of Zhuang Jie, her insecurities really made it hard for me to fully root for her. I especially disliked when she left for Shanghai without telling Chen Maidong until the last minute and after essentially trapping him into an engagement so he wouldn't easily leave her. I just felt that was glossed over a bit, but the ending made it worth it. So, overall, I enjoyed this drama. Would rewatch it too.

Glued to my seat from beginning to end

It was intriguing from beginning to end. Kim Tae Ri was phenomenal (she really deserves any and all the awards for this role!) as well as Oh Jung Se.
I felt like the story was very interesting and well-executed. I wouldn't say this was horror, more like thriller, but there were moments that were terrifying (I still made sure to watch this during the day!)
Overall, I loved it through and through. There was nothing that made me feel disappointed or underwhelmed. As I said, it was intriguing from beginning to end. This is definitely a bingeable drama. Highly recommend.
