Comments

Fajrina Nov 11 2025 8:46 pm Great, now I have soft spot for Kim Young Kwang because of Han Dong Jin !!

Vinutha Mar 19 2025 2:45 am I don't know if this drama changed my life, but it definitely changed the few days I binge-watched it, and I can tell it's going to change at least a few days in my immediate future. I really need to thank all those who left a comment on this page because it was all of y'all who convinced me to watch this drama. I am always hesitant about melodramas, but thanks to the comments I was able to watch this gem. It was so well-written and directed and omg acted! Every single word uttered by the lead pair, every single glance of their eyes, and every sibgle shot that either of them were in was a masterpiece/cinema masterclass! Eventhough this is such slow drama, I was never bored or inclined to skip any scenes. Everything makes sense. The lead pair definitely deserved more scenes at the end there, but even the last minute was pure perfection. Thank you to everyone involved for making such an amazing drama, we don't see enough of these. It's always the clichés and the same old characters, not pure emotion like this. Both heart-wrenching and heartwarming.

Chey Jan 01 2025 5:09 pm Ohemgee!!!!!I'm just too glad I didn't stop subscribing on Disney Plus when I read one of the previous comments below last week. I bingewatched on this drama and it was worth every second!!!!! This has been like My Ahjussi with a li'l Uncontrollably Fond and perhaps It's Okay, It's Just Love. What an amazing ride!!!!

gasenadi Nov 02 2024 6:43 pm This is on the "Favorites to Rewatch" list. Both leads nailed their characters' personalities to a T. The gradual shift from contempt and resentment to concern was brilliantly written and conveyed. The other characters were mostly "meh" or stereotypes (like Bad Mom, Sick Mom and the Remorseful Ex-GF) but sometimes helped to move the plot along. This is my third watch and plan to see it again.

CrownLee Jul 09 2024 10:31 am I dont think Melodrama is my genre, i dont like Slowborn storyline, but not in this drama. Plot,Acting,Cinematography,Scoring,Ost make me lost in it.

Shima Jul 09 2024 4:58 am I really missed Han Dongjin & Sim Woojoo so much... my fav couple???

Ria Feb 03 2024 3:20 pm If this drama was an album it be Jim Reeves discography....

Su San Feb 03 2024 12:31 pm Beautiful drama! This is "My Mister" plus romance! The themes of revenge & hatred to forgiveness and love are explored through the complicated relationship of a woman set on revenge who falls in love with her target. HIGHLY recommended for those who like a realistic, mature love story.

Jillibean Jan 03 2024 2:02 am I'm late to this drama but I find it intriguing. I am so happy to see Sung Joon again. He's been one of my favorites for over a decade.

K Nov 21 2023 12:58 pm On episode 13 and I want to strangle haesung. What a selfish, immature character! Even after Jun told her how woojoo has suffered for her family, she still has the gall to feel offended. She, who has fallen in and out of love and discarded relationships without a thought. I just want woojoo and dong Jin to be happy!

Lee Oct 26 2023 9:18 am Loved it. Amazing acting by all characters and could feel each of their emotions. Thank you and kudos to all involved. Def worth watching.

Dario Gagetti Oct 23 2023 6:54 am First of all, congrat. to Kim Young Kwang and Lee Sung Kyung who we saw for the first time. A series with a beautiful beginning and 6-7 very interesting and engaging episodes. Then a deep, deep fall into the usual poignant, depressing and melancholic Korean dumbness. 8-9 unbearable, sad and stultifying episodes. Director Lee Gwang Young made us suffer until the last minute. Anyway, thanks for giving us a happy ending this time. Unbelievable that the selfishness and jealousy of the character Sim Hye Won towards her own sister Sim Woo Joo, led her to give up her love with Han Dong Jin for 1 year. In fact, the real reason is not anger at not being informed about the pact between Sim Woo Joo and Yoon Jun, but jealousy towards her sister and the marked selfishness she had. Only once she had found her new love with Yoon Jun the atrocious Sim Hye Won decide to give her approval to Sim Woo Joo. One also has to wonder, how it is possible that The character Sim Woo Joo with such a strong and decisive (albeit suffering) personality could have so easily abdicated in the face of such a request. It is always difficult for us here in Europe to understand these Korean family dynamics. A beautiful series that made us cry and suffer so much and for this reason unforgettable.

irisu Jul 27 2023 8:43 am Never a fan of melodrama, but this has become an exemption. Love the story, cinematography, and the actors. Worth watching!

Steffanie Jun 06 2023 5:52 pm Lee Sung Kyung is obviously the lead here. Why should Kim Young Kwang's name go first?

Anyway, I Love this drama. I guess, judging from the other comments here, my taste is different. It's binge-watch worthy for me.

Anthea Jun 06 2023 12:52 am What a lovely drama! Love the pace, and the way it communicates without words. Just the energy in those moments grabs me. Can't wait to watch more!

Mark May 26 2023 3:09 am Perhaps the best slow burn romantic melodrama I've ever seen. It took me an episode to really engage with it. I was actually considering dropping this drama half way through the first episode - but what a mistake that would have been. For anyone who likes melodramas, then this is a must watch. Lee Sung-Kyung especially is amazing.

Sushiro May 24 2023 8:08 am One of the best drama I have watched this year. Great chemistry between the cast and omg I love Lee Sungkyung. She formed such good chemistry with everyone. And the way she and Kim young Kwang communicated with one another without words. Beautiful storyline. Sad,touching yet beautiful

Ash May 24 2023 6:28 am So slow n even Color’s of the series are so dull , looks like black n white series ., good series to make u fall asleep

Joe May 23 2023 7:57 am Never ever seen a slow flat boring drama like this one. this is a concetrate or weakness and depression. Please don't do that anymore

Ar. SSDC May 16 2023 2:30 pm The Best Melancholic Slow Burn Romance Drama Everrrrr!!! Their chemistry is so surreal. Woodong Couple nailed it. Can’t wait to see them together in another drama. So you better watch it cause it’s really worth your time. LSK and KYK are match made in heaven.

LGiam May 10 2023 10:43 am @Erra: of coz u can ship them :P

Erra May 08 2023 10:48 pm Really love how this drama flow. the plot is perfect, the picture is great, the chemistry among characters is really great. for some people may think that this drama has slow pace story, but for me amazingly i really enjoy the flow to understand more about charaters' emotions. love how mature their love is, n how wise woo joo's mom. Lee Sungkyung and Kim Young Kwang look so good together. Can I ship them? haha..

Anh May 06 2023 9:12 am Never expected but amazing chemistry!! Its really healing

joa May 02 2023 12:45 pm i’m sorry guys i thought it was 12 episodes hahhahaha, abt to watch the rest 4 episodes!!

joa May 02 2023 12:42 pm i thought it was just 12 episodes, and turns out to be 16 episodes, i'm sorry haha, abt to watch 4 more!

joa May 02 2023 12:23 pm Big applause for both main leads, they could portray so much without even talking. They also could make holding hands so much more romantic than a kissing scene would. SPOILER ALERT!!! However i think it's a bummer that the drama ends without any big conflict that actually the main point of the plot. Dongjin still doesn't know Woojoo identity and background, also what her did to his company. Woojoo's family also still clueless about who Dongjin actually is. The House also forgotten lol, eventho that's one of the main reasons for the plot to go on.

Iris Apr 30 2023 8:19 pm Powerful acting from both Lee and Kim. Deep and incredibly intense. The eyes convey thousands of emotions. I cried a river through the last few episodes. Love, this drama. They surely make a gorgeous couple. Rooting for them in real life

Selia Apr 26 2023 12:43 am Why can't I watch on Disney+? Where else is it playing?

Cathy Apr 21 2023 9:37 pm I really liked this drama. I know someone think that this pace is too slow in it, but I felt like it flowed. What did I like about it? The acting was natural and sincere. People really connected with each other and you could feel their relationships. The storyline was interesting. There are reasons that I liked it because of things that were not in it. It did not have screaming people, and everyone had intelligent and well thought out conversations. There were no mother's beating up their kids who are old enough to make their own decisions. No mother's screaming at their kids who are old enough to make their own decisions, they had discussions instead. And on a rather different note, the makeup on the men was natural. There was no overly dark lipstick to make them look cakey and fake. The makeup artist should get awards.

Ola Apr 20 2023 3:27 pm I only read a few of the comments and didn't see anyone mention the outstanding cinematography. I think all of the storylines are good. I love how they used cinematography to tell or enhance the story. They could eliminate the "slow walk" in every Asian movie because they are time wasters. I did love the script and how everything and everyone is somehow related or knows something everyone else doesn't know. I love the relationship between Han and Choi and how Choi withholds Woojoo's "secret" not even knowing the complete story. He's protecting his friend's heart. Overall, this is a well written and well thought out series about relationships, love and forgiveness that doesn't hit like a cliche. Haven't gotten to the end but I love what I've seen so far.

Terry Apr 17 2023 1:03 pm What I thought of this series?

I started this series and by the second episode, I was going to put it aside. It is extremely slow paced. I came here and found others also thought it was slow so maybe this wasn't the series for me. But I said one more episode. Then I kept saying one more episode. And I finished it, glad I stuck it out. The whole storyline is extra sad, I barely ever, wait... did I ever?!, see the main characters smile. WooJoo just sorta walked around angry and DongJin was just sorta looked guilty. And everyone's problems was because of the selfishness of one specific person. If people would have smacked that lady more often, so much could have been avoided.

I didn't understand the sister's storyline and why she couldn't successfully keep a man. It didn't really make sense to me.

I do believe that if I had to watch it one episode a week, that I would have never picked the series back up after the second episode but I watched it all within a few days, so it made it worth it.

seina Apr 17 2023 9:08 am very good drama to watch~ such a roller coaster of emotion and everything about the drama is just great. The storyline, cinematography, both acting from the two main casts & all the supporting. Good job!

Steve Apr 14 2023 10:36 am Mostly a good drama, although 10 episodes would have sufficed. It's a bit of a throw-back to dramas where the story unfolds slowly with a focus on the characters' settings and expressions rather than on the dialog. The best episodes are where we could feel the sense of longing between the two leads, and it left us waiting anxiously for the next episode. That was not true for all episodes, however. Spoiler ahead. The ending was a bit disappointing - not because the two characters re-connected, but in the way they got back together. The ending needed to be more dramatic than the two minutes they gave us. For example, as Dong-Jin sat at the campsite, Woo-Joo could have appeared from behind a vehicle that pulled away. Something like this where the eye contact and emotion of the characters could have swelled and had time to pull us in. But what do I know. I don't write the stuff; I just watch it.

Ann Apr 14 2023 7:50 am This drama is so underrated!! Yes, it is quite slow, but it's not boring at all. I highly agree with the below comments which stated that this is the best melodrama in 2023 so far!!

Renz Apr 14 2023 4:22 am I like it but it was too slow. I get the concept but the music was too long, they move very slow, and speak very slow ? . I was watching it at 2x speed because I was interested in the story line. A hole episode could fit in 30 minutes if they cut the unnecessary pauses and music and also multiple flashblack of what we have already seen

tash Apr 13 2023 12:04 pm this kdrama maintain the excitement of the viewers every time the latest episodes are being released. this is the type of kdrama am into coz of the characters specially han dongjin and sim woojoo. ????

murihia Apr 13 2023 10:10 am Best melodrama.. every episode kept me on toes, each episode was full of emotions. Loved the chemistry os the actors. The cinematography made it seem like I was my friends life.. Worth every minute I spent watching it. Highly recommend it . Thank you for such an amazing story.

Boo Apr 13 2023 12:09 am Daebak! The best melodram of 2023, hard to beat. When all characters, actors, cinematography, writers, producers are amazingly marinated into this superb melodrama. Just finished watching ep16 and i can say that I literally cried every episode from 1-16. You will feel all emotions, happiness, sadness,regret,guilt,fear and most esp Sarang. This will always be one of the best dramas that ive watch since ive started watching kdramas. I super Love LSK and KYK topnotch, lovely actors and the chemistry was off the charts! More projects together guys. I cant contain the happiness im feeling right now with a bit of sadness really since it already ended. But no worries coz I’ll definitely rewatch it. ??. Sarranghae to all who made this drama possible. My longest comment here ever..?

Luna Apr 12 2023 8:01 pm Best melodrama of 2023. I’m gonna miss this especially all the casts. I recommend this to everyone. You won’t regret watching this drama.

RAKW Apr 12 2023 6:42 pm First class drama from beginning to the end. Excellent performances, top tier directing and photography, and writing that was superb. It all came together and I will miss it because quality like this is rare.

deliriouslin Apr 12 2023 12:47 pm This drama is simply captivating with great cinematography! It's slow pacing makes the drama so mesmerising, the last scene is soo funny. One of Kim Young-Kwang and Lee Sung-Kyung best works, of course their chemistry subtly endearing. Undeniably they are good friends in real life, must be tough to act in a solemn way. Definitely worth binge watching again!

Billa Apr 12 2023 9:17 am Very nice show from all great performers. Bravo!!!

iu Apr 11 2023 9:42 pm I very recommended this drama !!! This is my first time comment at asianwiki. I veryy lovee this drama so much. Chemistry Lee Sung Kyung & Kim Young Kwang superb and acting so amazing. They're looking so good together. And support role also deabakk, never get boring watching this drama. I hope for a happy ending for the two. I hope it wins awards next year.

Tu Apr 11 2023 12:31 am The actors, the music, the video and the script are crazy good. The quality is close to My Mister and Liberation Notes.

sf Apr 10 2023 3:11 am This drama has the "The Interest of Love" drama vibe. Luckily the action and actors' dialogues develop a little faster.

Shen Apr 10 2023 1:51 am This drama is nothing short of amazing. The leads showed so much emotions. Never seen this part of Lee sung kyung and she delivered the role perfect. Both actors complement each other and the chemistry between them is out of this world. The storyline is very Intentional, each episodes keeps you on your toes and ends with a cliff hanger making you interested in the next episode. I think the drama isn't getting talked about enough but I hope with time it will get the accolades it deserves.

Bucky Apr 09 2023 6:31 pm this drama is crazily good, i hope it wins some awards next year

Good drama Apr 09 2023 12:34 pm So far I’m loving this drama! I don’t usually do melodramas but this one had a very interesting storyline and so I’ve been able to continue the drama unlike some other dramas where I start it off but can’t seem to finish. This one had good actors and actresses and the soundtrack is soooo good! I love the song at the end of episodes 13 and 14!!! If you’re thinking about watching this drama, just do it!

upi Apr 09 2023 9:31 am this drama proves once again that Lee SeongGyeong is the best model-turned-actress of our generation.. the industry should recognize this fact..

LGIAM2011 Apr 09 2023 8:43 am @sf, i guess that's just her straight forward & honest personality, and she will only work for short while.. as she's only a part timer , like miss Baek said, woojoo is good at doing her job.. that's why they let her work..

Babybest Apr 08 2023 7:05 am Love the two lead. Their chemistry, their expression...is top notch. Everything feels so real. They don't need to say a word to know what they feels.

I love this drama and it's not getting the attention it deserves.I hope they win award.

T Apr 08 2023 2:06 am Drama is good. It is worth to watch

sf Apr 06 2023 9:24 am Sorry, but what employee talks with her employer like Sim Woo-Joo does? I am on the third episode.

Yhang Apr 05 2023 11:11 pm Love this drama. Lee Sung Kyung & Kim Young Kwang gives superb acting. They're looking so good together. Hoping for a happy ending for the two. ???

I hope this drama and the actors win more awards for their portrayal. Recommended this drama! ???

Cece Apr 05 2023 8:23 pm I feel so sorry for the two leads. They deserve to be happy. I really hope there's a happy ending. Else my heart will break into a million pieces!

Quin Apr 05 2023 4:10 pm I am not going to watch episode 13 & 14 before they release the full episodes because I really wish our couple have the happy ending ??? they are so kind and deserve to be happy, chaebalyo ???

Putri Sitompul Apr 05 2023 1:02 pm The kind of drama that make me keep looking for the duration, how much minutes left to watch, the drama that make me counting how many days left to Wednesday!! Yes, its worth to watch!! You can feel all the emotions just by their acting without lots of dialog!!

LGIAM2011 Apr 03 2023 7:28 pm @Frx, hope more people will recognize kim young kwang... i know he's been in the industry for quite long time..but his name have yet become more known to the international fans.. as for lee sung kyung, i think she's recognized more for her acting than kim young kwang.. consindering her 10++ million followers on instagram.

Frx Mar 31 2023 5:39 am I literally watch this drama to enjoy the actors acting. They aren't that A class actors yet they acting is really great even without not much of dialog.

Crystal Mar 30 2023 1:53 am LSK indeed a very great actress! we know how she feels, without her speaking. All her feelings show in the expression. we know how he feels, without her speaking. all her feelings showed on her face.

Especially at the end of episode 12 where she looked at Dok Jin's face, it's called love. she loves Dok jin, but she knows that they can't be together. And she doesn’t know what to do.

I really wish them a happy ending :( they both suffer all this time.

A very deep drama, love it!

littlepinky Mar 29 2023 6:38 pm I like the chemistry of the casts whom i watch their dramas. i look forward a twist for main lead on Sung Joon...ripen and match his lhysique...

Ruth - Taurus Mar 29 2023 12:10 pm I like this drama for the chemistry of the main leads. How they express their feeling, it is so deep. I also like jun and haesung, their emotion is up and down.

Errica Lim marialim7376@gmail.com Mar 29 2023 7:26 am This is pulling my hearstrings. Pinches my inner being. Call it Love is playing with my emotions. From melancholy to wondrous joy then to uncertainty then again, that is why it is called love.

It is love because it is imperfect, it goes way beyond boundaries, overcoming pain, sadness and guilt. Reaching forgiveness, turning to joy and breaking away in glory. The rollercoaster of emotion, it is depicted in Call it Love.

Errica Lim Mar 29 2023 7:04 am This is pulling my hearstrings. Pinches my inner being. Call it Love is playing with my emotions. From melancholy to wondrous joy then to uncertainty then again, that why it is called love.

Errica Lim Mar 27 2023 12:18 am Call it love, it’s a mellow drama that will get you hooked by watching it. Taking a break from rom coms this 2023, this is worth watching. Seeing how it started as a sad, lonely story of two people connected by a broken marriage caused by their parents, foreseeing love to grow beautifully out of it, ever after. Love also seeing Sung Joon “Yoon Jun” oppa here, but kinda sad that he is just the 2nd male lead it will be fun though if he will happily end up with Kim Ye Won “Hyesung”, afterall, they do have a budding chemistry here.

seokjinie Mar 27 2023 12:17 am not your typical drama, i was so used to quirky romance that i forgot there are slow burn type like this, the leads are great even with few lines they can the emotions really well, i also love the supporting casts, and the plot is great too ???

reverseminded Mar 22 2023 9:44 pm Love love love this drama! For everyone that want to try to watch, u'll never regret it!

Best melo drama i've been watching so far. The main cast are professional, the chemistry DAEBAK!!! somehow some of the scene and how LSK & KYK show the emotions really related in real life (sad, alone, feeling betrayal, unfair, etc).

I can't wait to next ep every week and wishing their happy ending!

Good Job for both of them and looking forward for their another project!

Marcine Luke Mar 21 2023 5:53 pm Are there going to be more of these shows in the series?

LGiam Mar 19 2023 12:39 am I really hope call it love will be recognized internationally... hope the casts are all gaining popularity as they should.

seokjinie Mar 18 2023 2:52 am i thought it was boring and slow in the first few eps, but i'm wrong, the cast, story, cinematography, and the subtle jokes in the script was so perfectly combined, love love love this drama

Skiby Mar 17 2023 8:12 pm Im like literally loving this drama js like the others. I always look forward to the new episodes!! I hope everyone else also enjoys it as much as I do!!!

Female_human Mar 17 2023 4:52 am This Is My Favorite Drama Ever in the romance genre. It's a slow burn, the cast is perfect, and their chemistry is so matching. The actions of the character really speak for the ambient, it doesn't use a lot of songs / OST to create the ambient. Every shot is very pleasing to the eye. Also, I love that there are a lot of wide shots in this drama, the wide shot is really suitable for this story. For me, this drama exudes calmness, intriguing, genuine, and it's very lovely.

Also, I'm agreeing with the comment below, it has "Liberation Notes" vibes (which I also love that drama). But compared to that drama, I understand the Male lead and Female lead's actions and perspectives a whole lot better in this drama, since "Liberation Notes" the Male lead and Female lead characters are more silent.

Non Mar 16 2023 7:06 am My Type of Drama. Kim Young Kwang and Lee Sung Kyung embodied their roles perfectly. Can’t they just put all of the episodes together already!

lovhuir Mar 14 2023 5:01 am shit, i cant for ep 7 and 8 ??? their chemistry is just so good and i like the slow burn and other character as well ???

Watanabe Kim Mar 13 2023 10:37 pm i got My Liberation Notes vibes in this drama

Great.kdramas Mar 12 2023 11:46 am It gives My Liberation Notes vibes.. so far so good. Love it!

littlepinky Mar 12 2023 5:33 am foremost the actors are.familoar i definitely watch til the end. for every scene/script...it prompt me to check the writer ,credits to him/her hoping for more projects ..i would want to know the writer work unfortunately its in black.font not blue to find the links like the actors.. hope the scenes are more advance not that i am greedy devouring my watching time this weekend

Luna Mar 11 2023 5:00 pm It was one of my favorite series in the slice of life genre. I'm looking forward to the next part. The harmony of the lead roles is perfect. I wish there were more series in this genre. Watching it both relaxes me and makes me think.

Blair Mar 11 2023 2:50 pm It’s two episodes a week, what are you guys on about?

Jojo Mar 11 2023 7:32 am I'm enjoying this drama - but why once a week? This madness!?

KYK's Wife Mar 10 2023 7:29 pm One episode a week is completely ridiculous.... I mean how am I supposed to wait for a single episode for what I'm assuming will happen till May...

Thanks alot Disney

Kau Mar 10 2023 9:47 am This drama remind me of My Mister.. I like it

Nabi Mar 10 2023 8:04 am I’m glued to this drama always looking forward for the next episode. I recommend this drama to anyone really interesting

P.s. love the filter

PANDORA Mar 09 2023 10:22 pm The history of this show is so captivating, the lonliness in their eyes, in the lines, the darkness of the images, so well written, directed and acted. I just love it. The cinematography of this entire show is absolutely brilliant. It's been awhile since I've seen a drama that could capture the overall message of a story with camera angles and lighting, it is just so well rounded. I noticed from the beginning like how they exited the store but she went down one way and he went the other labeled "One way" and it really reflected how he felt like his life was just headed in one direction and he had no say in it and the weight of that feeling. Even the opening dialogue about how we learn about people by watching their backs and we're always shown his back, from the intro to now. He started out moving around the office and doing things but we could only see him from behind and that alone allowed us to paint a picture of a stressed and lonely man. Also its interesting to note that she opens talking about how she fell in love while watching his back but its the very reason she dislikes him at first. I would love for his posture to gradually correct itself by the end as he learns to stand up for himself. How telling that would be of ones character development and how fitting it would be for the message the director and writer wish to convey.

I didn't understand the fuss about the filter, as I watch this on Disney+ and there is no filter on there, but I went to an ill*gal site and I saw the pinkish tone. I understand why some people would dislike that, but think of it like it adds to the story. This drama along with Island is my favourite right now. What a time to be a fan!

Berry Mar 08 2023 3:54 pm I love the drama. But the filter is very bad, it makes me lose interest at first. Pls change the filter.

Boo33 Mar 08 2023 8:07 am I love the filter! Its very appropriate for melodramas like this. And topnotch acting superb!

Sakura Mar 08 2023 6:00 am @Tae

Because they have different family name (Han) and ( Sim), I don't think they are siblings

Tae Mar 08 2023 12:22 am Haven’t watch all episode yet but just to be clear she fell in love with her stepbrother right? Eventhough her farther divorce her mother but still he married the mistress right and the son is his stepson. This is confusing.

Zee Mar 07 2023 9:51 pm Love the drama. The plot. Everything is good.

But the filter really makes my me uncomfortable waching it. At first i think something wrong with my phone. But when I watch another drama. It's nornal.

Please use a normal filter. Otherwise u will get low rating just because of the odd color grading you use.

R Mar 07 2023 2:14 pm Ugly uglllllllllllly filter!!!! I can’t watch it

Emma Mar 07 2023 1:45 pm Love the slow burn from hatred and pity to love. This show is interesting so far.

asy Mar 05 2023 5:15 am i absolutely love this kdrama . the story line is amazing . but the filter used kinda off for me ?

PANDORA Mar 05 2023 12:35 am This drama is so beautifully written, directed, and performed. Absolutely captivating, tragic and dramatic story with fleshed out characters and actors with top-level acting.

"Your CEO has this dark auto about him, like a street cat." I love this quote, it describes KYK's character perfectly; acting is phenomenal.

Can't wait for more episodes. This is already looking to be in the top 10.

Sungkyung die hard fan Mar 03 2023 11:48 pm This story is just pure perfect. The story is slow but that what it makes it more interesting, it is slow but nicely slow and not boring. The cameraworks is so nicely done as well. Besides I've been a fan of Sungkyung since Doctors so seeing her with Youngkwang is a different level of romance, their chemistry too is very nice :"> I'm happy to see Hani of EXID here too, I'm a big fan of her as well. Kudos to this drama, this is going to be amazing ♡

Ropenshi Mar 02 2023 10:41 pm Revenge, love or whatever I'm hooked, I haven't skipped any parts

Eiko Mar 02 2023 2:52 pm No next ep trailer whatsoever, but it's just too real. Everything is uncertain, and it's vain to expect how things unfold. We could guess, and it's fine (it's easy to predict fiction). But next week is just too long.

Sha Feb 28 2023 3:41 am Why end up she fall in love. Damn. Dissappointed. Let take revenge for what they had been done to their family. Aigoo. What the point end up u fall in love that someone made cruel to your family.

"The color of cil is a reddish sunset at sunset. I set the tone of the work to be a low color red, like the evening light of a day after a tiring day or the dawn light just before the new sun rises. "-pd ky

Zimzalabim Feb 27 2023 10:37 pm Why everytime i watch this drama my sight become Pink? The color grading really make my eyes uncomfortable

cdh Feb 26 2023 9:28 am What days the episode will be aired?? Is it Wednesday and Thursday tho?

Leyla Feb 24 2023 7:30 am @sam_jenkins the song at the end of ep 2 is by Roy Kim titled Flower. Its going to be release nxt week March 3.

sam_jenkins Feb 24 2023 3:07 am Can someone please tell me what song plays at the end of episode 2 when credits roll in? I've looked everywhere but no luck :(

hedgedog Feb 23 2023 10:42 pm @Laura, you can watch many of Disney+ Korean dramas on Hulu, including this one. Hope that helps!

Laura Feb 23 2023 7:45 pm Can you see this drama in the U.S.? I live in Texas and Dinsey+ doesn’t have it

Boo33 Feb 23 2023 3:49 pm The chemistry is next level. Omg cant wait for more episodes. Now im contemplating on waiting for the series to finish before continuing .. ?

yojung Feb 23 2023 10:20 am as expected from A+ acting class actor & actress, Kim Youngkwang & Lee Sunkyung.. their acting is just amazing!! I love the story too, also how the cinematography make this drama look like a movie!

Eiko Feb 23 2023 8:18 am The story of my life finally gets thru the screen, crazy how relatable every emotion displayed and it helped me recognize (and acknowledge) my own feelings. Forgiving isn't easy, because sometimes it needs a lot of compassion more than you feel you could ever give, no matter how hard you try to bring peace. It hurts because it bleeds, not that you allowed yourself to bleed. And it's painful because it's there, you can't pretend to not get hurt, even if you clench your teeth. All in all, it's not because you're weak, you're delicate and that's how you should embrace yourself, with immense care. May love triumph over every misery.

Young-Kwang's eyes scream tenderness, those eyes know something within. Even in the face of madness. Lovely. I sometimes daydreamed of silly revenge, and so I wanted to cry and scream and get crazy with Sung-Kyung, and still be crazy optimistic like Ye-Won. That's how I feel as a daughter and a sister.

Karen Feb 23 2023 6:12 am Such a great first two episode! Great cinematography, soundtrack and visuals. Story is told in such a great pace as well that it may seem slow but it isnt. Really enjoyed this and looking forward to the rest

seina Feb 22 2023 11:19 pm the first two episode just amazing!!! great acting from the main leads (Young-Kwang & Sung-Kyung), cinematography also great! Can't wait to watch the next episodes

Tari Feb 22 2023 10:02 pm Epic!!!

I like every cast and their character in this drama. Can't wait for the next episode!

Vinci Stan Feb 22 2023 2:25 pm Cinematography is movie like. Every shot selection, choice of framing is deliberate and intentional. However, not a fan of the color grading, I get that it goes with the theme an will possible change throughout the series, but as of now it's all drenched out of saturation an hues.

Watched some of the director's previous works, and this seems to be different from her body of work - yet this could possibly be her best to date.

Great acting by the older sister sibling.

Tara Feb 22 2023 10:52 am What a promising pilot episodes! This drama has a similar vibes as My Ahjussi. It's slow yet powerful. Every line of this drama is beautifully written. The cinematography, tone and music scoring make this drama more beautiful yet sad. I'm longing for a pure melodrama with a slow pace and introverted main characters and this drama is the answer for my waiting! Also not to mention how Lee Sung-kyung and Kim Young-kwang speak through their eyes! It's just so amazing how their eyes convey a lot of emotions in every scene. Their eyes will make your heart aches from the pain. :"""") They are so goooddd!!!
