it could've been nice but it's just boring
The genius Maths professor falling for the silly - but cute and cheerful student - is such an abused trope... It still could be ok since the actors are nice, but it drags way too much and the central plot is unnecessary entangled with other side stories. The main couple has little to zero chemistry, the ML repeatedly pointing out how dumb the FL is. And she is indeed! Failing in her studies, unable to keep a job or even to fry an egg (!).I'm not sure if this was the writer's intention, but the drama seems a demonstration of the fact that smart men fall for stupid girls.
I dont think i can keep watching this nonsense till the end.

Boring
Nothing spectacular abt this drama, i wonder if there is really a conflict except for the FL being unable to decide which guy to pick. Actors are handsome - though so skinny even for asian taste, but quite common looking faces, i was struggling in the beginning to recognize who's who. Also the identical fashion style doesnt help at all - its so obvious that they were dressed by the same stylist. I'd say, no effort was put into creating the illusion of life, it's all like a big doll's house. A lot of coincidence happen - FL sprains her ankle twice, ML is there to help each time , FL gets caught in the rain two times, of course ML is there again etc etc. If i happen to stumble across something better, i consider droppin it... till then, just fast forwarding.Cet avis était-il utile?
not all tropey & well executed
All characters, though being in high school, hide some sort of secret and it seems to be a tad dark! This is of course very engaging... If you dont expect anything resembling "reality" and embrace the dramaland willingly, it will be quite entertaining to watch! The ugly girl is just the ugly duckling, the bully is a disguise of Prince Charming, the enemy is same as best friend etc. All set in the world of rich and famous...Still there is more to it than the typical teen dramas, so enjoy!

funny and light-hearted
Very enjoyable romcom, the ML and FL are about to become my favourite all time couple! They are bright. Still, when i saw the FL ending up in hospital after breaking up with the ML, i was SOOO put off! It totally killed the mood for me. Will it ever be an end to this trope of the weak FL that cannot be without her man? No matter what actions come after this, this drama screwed it! Dont women have any value BUT being with a man? Silly me, i thought this was a modern drama, but it seems the screenwriter and director are still stuck in the past. Remote past.The second FL is saving a lot of watching time.
NOTE: The dog is really cute, but still it breaks my heart to see a living creature condemned to live in a 4-wall cage. WARNING: Dogs are NOT toys! Please stop this nonsense of raising pets just for comfort!!

quite funny
I don't know if it's deliberately funny, but one cannot help but laugh at so many silly twists and scenes of the plot... The actors and actresses are good looking and have a lot of sex-appeal - sex sells, right? - so it's worth watchin at least for this. But like most lakorns, its sooo silly that you gotta see it to believe lol. Exaggerated scenes, exaggerated acting, like a carnival show. I sometimes wonder myself why i keep watching this? Maybe it's because you don't need to put much effort into guessing what's next, it's so obvious that my neuron feels insulted. Still i have to admit i came to watch this knowing what to expect, at least lakorns are honest in packing up old cliches. The ML and his best friend are quite hot - and all the cast is above average. Addictive in a cringy way.Cet avis était-il utile?

worse than a schoolplay
I really wonder why this drama has got such high scores, it is really bad in so many ways that i dont know where to start... The ML and FL are both unnecessarily aggressive while pretending to be smart and "genius"... The FL pretends to hate the guy but she is always stuck to him? Also, the FL seems to have no real interest in life/ career other than bickering with the ML who obviously is not seduced by her wit, but by her all package, to put it politely. The plot is sooo repetitive too, the ML insults the FL, she realizes his intentions were "right", he insults her again, the FL realizes it was just out of concern etc. It is honestly insulting for the intelligence of all men and women out there - intellectuals or not - to believe that love is about mocking the other all the time.I cannot believe it's a 2022 drama!
Only recommended as a challenge for CAN YOU THINK OF ANYTHING WORSE?

excellent, though you can see the ropes
The word for this is HOT... The two ML's are hot together, end of. If you are looking for something more abt this drama, like villains or conflict or anything - there is not much to it. It's just one - or even two! - gay couples that come up with hot stuff, and thats it! We have role-play, innuendo, teasing, flirting, naked bodies - and i mean, ripped bodies!, power struggle - you name it.Oh and there is also some comedic relief to the sexual tension... I guess the director was afraid to handle the 18+ content in a mature way so he turned to this trick instead.
Rewatch? Why not? Its funny and... wink wink. Sex sells!

So boring!
Is this really a 2023 drama? It's like one of those 70s productions on a budget! If you have time, it's something you can watch together with the kids and grannies, while cooking food on the stove too!The only nice thing to look at is the ML, who obviously has WAY MORE potential than he can display here. His acting range and expressive features dont benefit at all from this no-action drama... Nothing daring, nothing worth remembering. Plz give me a crazy lakorn instead of this!

real gem
I came across of this by pure accident - or better say luck! It is so very engaging, heart-breaking, melodramatic in a good way!You can totally recognize the tropes, the most prominent of them being this Savant Syndrome / Autistic Genius...Obviously dramas are reluctant to depicting NORMAL boring people, and exploit these/ those exceptions! Like, who wants to see an average kid vs a superpower still vulnerable kid?
This is romanticism at its best!
Though packed with tropes, it's well acted and employing an original background setting, i mean - the trauma cleaning thing.
Nice watch, idealistic as it is.

Too shallow and boring
Besides the ML looking gorgeous, there's not much to see in this drama. The FL is mediocre and so is the flow: unrealistic, rushed, way too schematic. The plot is - yet again! - about the cold CEO who falls for the average Cinderella, new thing is just the CEO being creepy and acting like a stalker (not even on-screen, but as shown in flash-backs!).I watched 14 episodes and it feels like too many already.
Dropped.

gloomy and unrealistic
Given the fact we have a handsome playboy and motorcycle races and all, one could expect this drama to burst with positive energy. Instead, we get all the gloomy things in the world of drama and not even one ray of humour: suicide, trauma, abuse, violence, bullying, attempted murder, mental illness, psychotic behavior...The "deceptive appearance" trope is at its glory, to the point it becomes redundant: the bad boy is kind but misunderstood, the bullies are people of character, the nice teacher is a predator and criminal, so are the parents, the top student is a fraud etc.
It mainly relies on emotions and popular actors.
Dropping for the time being. Not enjoyable on my summer break.

an easy watch if you just ignore the pile of garbage
Despite being so long, it's quite easy to watch - i admit i skipped and skipped unnecessary scenes. The plot is pretty good, but the leads are not my cup of tea - the hottest one is the SML.All the characters are morally wrong. The FL practically stalked and abused the drunk ML... He deserved it, since he feeds his women the morning-after pill. Not even doing this personally, but having the servant clean the mess?
The cast could have been way better. I dont wanna criticize them much but definitely they dont score for me.
The only interesting couple is the thug friend and the rich heiress.
This drama had potential, i'd watch a remake.

a total mess
I totally recommend to watch the first half or so of this drama, it's got some interesting things to it. Good actors, pretty faces, gripping plot... But it soon becomes totally crazy - and not the good way. Everybody is lying - including the camera!! - , everybody has secrets, everybody has a sort of mental challenge: trauma, retard, anxiety, dellusion etc. The policemen - all of them - are suspects, the rich/ influential people are too, and they are all interconnected one way or another.The action goes around in circles, again and again, the leads try hard to keep it going by using all facial expressions by the first 4 episodes: they cry, they laugh hysterically, they smirk etc, till there is nothing left. I think one of the biggest mistakes of drama makers is GREED, in the form of ambition: they wanna cover everything in one shot. Keep some balance, will you?
Dropped, too long and too nonsensical.

watch it just for the gorgeous ML !
Such a cliché rom-com that i wouldn't know where to start... The plot is hardly there, the FL has a weak scene presence, even the tropes lack quality of execution. BUT... all the credit goes to the ML who definitely saves this show being gifted with all the necessary qualities and something extra: handsome, fit, classy, funny, versatile and unique! The sense of fashion is great - nice job from whoever did this. Also the secondary cast is excellent, starting with the male secretary, who teamed with the ML in "Noble, My Love" (still the ML grew up a lot in terms of personality since that), the eccentric former porn-star mother of the FL, the kitchen beauty and grumpy manager, the tiny child and even the black not-so-stray cat. Nice scenery too.I'm impressed with the acting talent of the ML, still as a side note i wonder... his features are all natural? He looks like a manga hero. I like him whatever the answer. <3

so average!
I've started to watch this in between other dramas, and though it's quite entertaining, it's still mediocre... The FL looks mediocre, she hardly has any acting skills, and the ML, though handsome and all, is overdoing it most of the time. Dont get me wrong, they r both handsome, but so forgettable, nothing to get someone's attention. I might keep watching it since i have no other option at present, but it's NOT ENGAGING, i skip a lot of the boring scenes. The tropes are there, but it's not this that puts me off - just the general impression.Watch it if you're a fan or super-bored.
