Comments

Panseokah Feb 07 2026 9:05 pm This was a lovely, enjoyable drama. Han Ji-min is one of my absolute favorites!

jojothemighty Dec 06 2025 1:15 am the best love drama in 2025 the couple nailed it

so sweet ...the meaning of truly falling in love

Lily Dec 01 2025 4:56 am I love this sweet mild drama. A simple storyline. But of course there is no perfect man like the ML in this whole wide world lol.

I have no doubts with Ji Min capabilities to execute her role. Jun Hyuk is omg so handsome though sometimes you can see his awkwardness in romantic roles like this one. I prefer him in action roles.

Overall the drama is fun and nice to watch with some funny scenes.

JP Oct 21 2025 2:06 pm It was awkward and cringe to cast Kim Do Hoon opposite Han Ji-min as someone who wants to date her. He was bold in his pursuit of her, is quite a bit younger and it shows. I could understand him having a crush on her, but he was vocal about it and acted like she should care about him as well. It was a bit silly and uncomfortable.

elliemae207 Jun 24 2025 5:43 am I was only browsing when I started watching this show. I like both leads so I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea! And I'm glad that I watched this easy going, non-combatant, feel-good (most of the time!) series. And because I wasn't in the mood to give not even a second to the villainous folks, being on a streaming platform has the advantage of fast-forwarding through unpleasant - I-don't-care for it - scenes with the bad guys! LOL :D

I give this show two thumbs up for a pleasant watch experience! I won't be surprised if I rewatch some of the good scenes and episodes in the future! ;-)

yu daddy Jun 15 2025 8:59 am i just finished watching this very smooth kdrama. i really really really like eun ho’s character in here because he’s very understanding and mature in solving conflicts and facing problems especially when the truth about the boy who ji yun’s father saved from 25 years ag incident i guess. i think this drama doesn’t give me a cringe feeling hahah. maybe bcause of the legend cast that i know so i guess the acting skills not a big problem for them since this drama was just about romance rather than action or thriller story. so for the kdrama lovers out there, please watch love scout immediately and feel the excitement that i already get from this drama. 10/10!

Rodolfo Glenton Apr 27 2025 9:10 am "Love Scout" is a refreshing and very enjoyable series to watch.

Unlike many other K-dramas and many K-traumas, the narrative is free from melodramatic excesses—much less pathos—warmly handling and balancing the depicted moments of everyday life/history, work, and personal relationships. This is a substantive difference: It does not force dramatic elements by trying to overly affect the viewer's emotions.

Another important consideration to highlight is that in current South Korean cinema, it presents one of the best correspondences between the two main actors, achieving a joint performance of extraordinary sensitivity and strength. This is similar to Crash Landing of You (2019), of course with the appropriate differences.

eli Apr 01 2025 5:29 pm its kinda cute. but ngl i skipped all the business scenes

Dreamer Mar 23 2025 10:01 am @Janee this drama is only on Netflix in about 8 regions. Everywhere else you need a subscription app like Viki.

I am Mar 17 2025 9:30 pm WHY I DONT SEE PARK BO.KYUNG A WOMAN? HER FACE IS IRRITATING AND DO AS HER CHARACTER. WELL, SHE IS A GOOD VILLAIN SO AS HER FACE.

Maybe Feb 27 2025 10:12 am The FL is being unnecessarily rude, stil in episode 2 so I hope it gets better. Rude characters are so old school but she is even worse, it seems it’s costing all her strength to be rude, it’ll be less stressful if she’s just polite

Janee Feb 27 2025 6:16 am @nidzuga This is on Netflix. What are you smoking?

nidzuga Feb 16 2025 7:35 am i really enjoy the drama and i love the chemistry they have together but i wish it was on netflix too.

Jillibean Feb 15 2025 8:24 am I really enjoyed this drama though I admit I did get a little bored at times but kept with it. The two main stars had nice growing chemistry together. I like when a main couple's chemistry is developed slowly and not "instalove". In some ways it reminded me of a beautiful short drama from 2022 called Fanletter, Please. Workaholic successful female falling for Single Dad with young daughter. If you loved Love Scout then do check out Fanletter, Please, also on the same site. :) At only four episodes you could finish it in one evening.

Brew Feb 15 2025 5:03 am This drama is fun to watch. Storyline quite simple. The pace normal and not make you bored. Chemistry very good. Fun, heartwarming and very entertaining!

VSM Feb 14 2025 11:22 pm I just so love this series and the leads from beginning to end. It's sweet and heartwarming. It seemed so real. I hope there will be season 2 or they will be paired again in the near future. I'm going to miss this one terribly.

peaches Feb 14 2025 8:56 pm we seriously need more episodes, even another season of this series !! han jimin never fails to make such an incredible character becomes “real” (it felt real and genuine). the chemistry between the lead is overflowingg!! such a great actresses and actors.. i really love this drama soo muchh, and it’s hard to say goodbye !

Cute i pie Feb 14 2025 1:14 pm Rom com among people in their thirties is my favorite genre I guess

Happy98 Feb 12 2025 10:32 am They say SoKors are smart, but when watching episode 11, the investment fraud victims came all the way to Kang JiYoon's house, what for? If she was really involved, of course she would have fled with his gang because she knew the victims would chase her right?! But when I imagine myself in the victim's position, I would probably do the same thing, but not as harshly as them, crying and struggling.

hermosa Feb 09 2025 8:19 pm We need season 2! The best Kdrama all the time! Surely will be on my rewatch every year, the chemistry between the leads were insane! Fan of Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk

Best Kdrama of 2025 Feb 09 2025 10:42 am One of the best Korean drama I'm watching this year 2025. Everything about, cast, story, acting and the vibe of the whole drama is very refreshing, fun and touching to watch. The lead couple has so much chemistry on them, both for sure deserves a lot of recognition, awards soon. This is Daebakk best of this year that I watched on Netflix.

jorik Feb 07 2025 10:15 am Hey there. Does anybody know what's the title of the children book what Yu Byul reads to Kang Ji-Yun? Thank you!

N2 Feb 07 2025 1:44 am Opening 2025 with the best kdrama! <3

Jjj Feb 01 2025 4:53 am This is the perfect drama to swoon for! Lee Junhyuk looks so handsome here, not to mention that his character is the perfect kind of man that most women will love: handsome, kind, nurturing, taking care of the child well, cooking well, doing the house chores well, while being financially stable. (Somewhat too good to be true, but still more realistic than the typical crazy rich men in k-dramas.) The story is light, perfect for relaxing at the weekend. I also like how the story is directed because it succeeded in making my heart flutter too. Good job, mr. director!

Brian Jan 30 2025 4:47 pm Enjoying this drama thru 2+ episodes although I think Seo Hye Won is underutilized.... very good actress in this American's opinion for what it is worth.

JKIU Jan 28 2025 9:55 pm A love story that is heart-fluttering, set in an office where bosses handle their employees. It also explores the relationship between a boss and an employee—how love can sometimes happen between them, as long as they are not hurting anyone.

Additionally, the story highlights the love of a father for his child. Plus, the actor is handsome, the actress is beautiful, and both are excellent in acting. Can't wait for the next episode. Watching in Netflix. All characters are great.

Jillibean Jan 28 2025 5:22 pm Such a nice drama. I have no criticisms. The main couple is so sweet and fun to watch. :)

Nabi Jan 28 2025 12:43 pm The scene in episode 8 when Tae Yoon showed up at Peoplez...O...M...G. I replayed it soooo many times. That was directing gold the way they slowly revealed that adorable face! OMG! I tear up and my heart swells each time. That scene lives rent-free in my mind as truly one of the best scenes in a movie or tv show. OMG!!!!!!

Jojo Jan 26 2025 10:45 pm ... forgot to mention, that last episode 8 that just aired, the party at the end, where the Chairman tried to embarass CEO Kang, that black dress she wore with the white bow shaped shawl collar - I'm sure that's the same dress Hong Hee Joo wore in WTPR in episode 9 or 10, I forget, LOL

Un modeste admirateur Jan 26 2025 9:39 pm I want to comment on a scene from ep. 7 of «Love Scout» that aired recently. Kang Ji-Yun and Yu Eun-Ho are sitting next to each other at a piano concert. They say absolutely nothing as if we're watching a silent film, and only the burst of the piano notes accompanies the burst of their own emotions as they feel each other's presence. It is a breathless scene. It lasts minutes, which feel like centuries. It highlights two unmatched qualities that «Love Scout» has, in my opinion: One is a remarkable mastery of silence and body language, on par with dialog, which is partly the director's merit. And the other is an oozing «skin-level» sensuality, which is fully actress Han Ji-Min and actor Lee Jun-Hyuk's merit. Both qualities combined make «Love Scout» my favourite drama in this winter 2024-2025.

Ives Jan 25 2025 11:22 am I love this drama more and more each week. Too bad, only 4 episodes left. Hoping for more sweet moments between the 2 leads.

Jojo Jan 24 2025 7:10 pm Lord have mercy, at the end of episode 7, they Finally hug and kiss, ish...I almost jumped into my screen to ask them to do it already. That was 4 episodes of watching them stealing glances at each other, back and forth giving me whiplash, who writes these scenes!? Lol... this does not have the love tension and drama like WTPR, or the supporting cast, nowhere near like it. I like the 2 main actors, it's a predictable love story, it's entertaining, but no wow factor.

Leo Jan 24 2025 5:53 pm Some people here are just trying to get attention when talking about Han Ji Min, the best actress in Korea... She's a masterpiece... When you can't appreciate that, than you just know nothing about acting...as simple as that...

M Jan 24 2025 3:15 pm Spoiler alert!

I didn't particularly appreciate the kiss.. it was so... not romantic .... awkward would be the best but I loved the tension between FL and ML in this episode prior to the kiss.. I felt it ... all the awkward.. all the longing and the drifting.... nicely done... the focus on the hands ! maybe thats why I was expecting a kiss that was filled with longing ! i like this drama. Can't wait for tomorrow

samdong Jan 24 2025 11:47 am this drama is a masterpiece. han jimin is a master at romance and i love her role here. lee jun hyuk finally gets his romance ++ his big, mainstream break. all the role reversal are refreshing! everyone was so mature. it makes me want to fall in love.

ARA Jan 24 2025 5:57 am I wished they cast a different FL. HJM is so ... pffff

Darey Jan 23 2025 8:49 pm maybe it's just me, but I feel like this drama has a lot of cringe scenes. especially when the scenes are comedic or happy. also when telling their children. the scenes were added too forcefully which ended up not looking natural.

for example, when yu eun-ho interacts with his daughter, like should I react with happiness or melting? ah, it's hard to explain. I've watched a lot of romance dramas and sbs productions, but I don't feel as cringe as this. the story and each scene are not natural.

Evie Jan 22 2025 8:00 pm Such an endearing way to inject conflict between the child and the CEO which very soon turn into admiration for eo. The cat scene is beautifully done! Not much to say about the main characters except Fridays and Saturdays aren’t coming fast enough.

peaches Jan 22 2025 5:49 pm its such a great drama, their chemistry is chemistrying!! they deserve a good rating too..

Ashes Jan 21 2025 6:06 am @Nicole yeah right..i found that fan made edition on YouTube which was made 4 years ago! I also need more episodes and more chemistry...

Nicole Jan 21 2025 1:16 am The biggest disappointment here is that it only has 12 Episodes!!! They have such good chemistry and I really thought I'd have this drama for 8 weeks instead of just 6.

Anyway, Jimin always has good dramas, so that's a given. But for Junhyuk who I have only seen in other genres, this is a new side for me. Jimin mentioned that before they were cast, a friend of hers sent her a fanmade edit of her and Junhyuk from two different dramas edited to make it look like one. That edit alone oozed chemistry tbh. So she was also glad to have received the news that she would be acting with Junhyuk.

AN Jan 20 2025 1:48 am This drama is so interesting! The chemistry is insane from both. Beginning of year 2025 is starting with green flag man: Yoo EunHo. Please goes to 20% until end of episode release. Can Not Wait For Each Episodes!!!

Torie Jan 19 2025 8:29 am I always look forward to Fridays and Saturdays because of this drama. Love the chemistry of the 2 leads. Such a sweet sight to watch. I’ll definitely gonna miss it once it ends.

Kee Jan 19 2025 2:54 am Please kdrama God's, pls give us a wonderful ending to this beautiful story. Don't put impossible situations and twists that are too good to be true they are actually stupid.

Sera Jan 19 2025 1:33 am @Kimchi i totally agree lol damn that guy’s too good looking to be a secretary only. I sometimes had to pause the scene because he’s too handsome and it kinda makes his acting looks stiff and I really do need to compose myself…: )

Jillibean Jan 16 2025 11:49 pm It's a very good drama, the leads have nice chemistry together. Looking forward to future episodes.

Iwiwz Jan 16 2025 11:07 pm I have watched 4 episodes ... Really really good romcom kdrama with serious work background, it has been a while since senior actor actreas play romcom, love this drama. Good cinematogroahy, good ost.

SR Jan 16 2025 7:50 pm What a boring drama.. atp, he is not only her secretary but also her nanny..

karen Jan 16 2025 8:49 am for once so glad and satisfying to see a meticulous, tidy, clean and warm male lead

Saltbread Jan 15 2025 1:10 am omgggg I watched this drama with low expectations as I am not a fan of romance genre but Love Scout is different it’s a genre on its own!! okay the pairing of Han ji min and Lee jun hyuk is genius pretty strong ceo and handsome kind secretary… they are made for each other… their chemistry on screen (and off screen if u watched whenever possible ;) is so perfect they compliment each other so well that i felt like third wheel through the screen.. not to mention the writing and story is so simple yet so satisfying and healing to watch, 2 mature adults middle aged romance really hits differently. The flow is good and cinematography is so pretty! Really a piece of art <3 deserved ~~~

Kimchi Jan 14 2025 10:54 am The problem with this drama is ...the male lead too good looking and clean look...;)

Jasmine Jan 14 2025 7:50 am My heart flutters watching episode 5. I am grateful that I live in this era to enjoy this romantic drama. A little bit of romance to help me get through this difficult life.

drei Jan 14 2025 7:34 am I love this, I love lee jun hyuk <333

M Jan 13 2025 8:22 pm Love, love, love it! But whyyyy do the main character always have some trauma with either a car accident or fire haha. Please find something else! Or how about no trauma at all?

Un modeste admirateur Jan 12 2025 4:18 pm «Love Scout» is the most romantic drama currently airing. Don't come looking for special effects, for kung fu fighting, or for traveling in space-time. Instead, you'll find down-to-earth, yet profoundly meaningful, everyday scenes between a man and a woman. At times, it's just a gaze they exchange; at others, it's a hand gesture to fix each other's shirt. Words here are not even required for them to express their blooming love.

Inmo Jan 12 2025 8:35 am I just can't!! The scene where he fixed her shirt collar in ep. 4 is just ----- Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh <3

better than lovely runner for me Jan 11 2025 10:48 pm AaaaH! Perfect! I love it so far! I hope they just continue with the pacing and development of the story and will not mess the ending. Can they extend it to 16 episodes??

Jaja Jan 11 2025 12:34 am Finally Lee Jun Hyuk in Romcom drama. What a refreshing starer 2025!

noh Jan 10 2025 9:18 am OMG, Han Ji Min is so beautiful~~~~~~~~~~~~! This drama is so good, I can't keep waiting...

Y Jan 10 2025 4:57 am I always see Lee Joon Hyuk in villain characters. This is refreshing for me

Paige Jan 09 2025 11:48 am Keep my standards high babe

5372ljhts Jan 09 2025 8:14 am Damn! I didn't know that Lee Joon Hyuk will fit on this type of character, I guess he needs to do more rom-com genre

Saku Jan 07 2025 11:36 pm Well I know this just a Drama butttt Its beyond imagination !!! The ML isss Too Good To Be True!!! Feel bad to the ordinary Korean guy in real life !!!

Fizzy Jan 07 2025 5:32 pm Great drama?and the FL is just so versatile, she was the one in the drama 'Behind Your Touch'. I am loving this drama already, can't wait for more to come.

Orange Jan 06 2025 2:04 am Great RomCon to start this year! Han Ji Min is always a good actress no matter what role you give her. Lee Joon Hyuk is so underrated but he is so good in all his role either main lead or villain. He is good in portraying every character.

First RomCom and I am in! Cant wait for Fridays and Saturdays because of this!

Please continue to make the story interesting! ??

My ahjussi crush list is so happy! So many ongoing and upcoming kdramas of my faves???

Jillibean Jan 05 2025 10:42 pm Good cast and writing, I look forward to future episodes. Been watching Han Ji Min since 2003 in All In when she was just a teenager. She always picks solid dramas.

Hihihello Jan 05 2025 10:47 am @ME Joonhyuk has gotten his lead roles in 2 dramas back in 2020 (365: Repeat the Year) and 2021 (Dark Hole). Both dramas were very underrated but they're so good! If you like Joonhyuk, you should watch those 2 dramas ^^

Ec Jan 05 2025 3:51 am Start new year with a good romcom.

Scouting Jan 05 2025 1:26 am Lee Joon Hyuk is as cool as ever.

Chey Jan 04 2025 12:03 pm Loving, loving, loving this!!!! I'm seeing the chemistry between Han Ji Min and Lee Joon Hyuk already! And that little girl is the smarty aleck in The Good Bad Mother. Kdrama gods, thanks much for this rom-com!!!! I've been on a Kdrama drought for so loooong now.

rxsa Jan 04 2025 11:36 am it's giving one of my favorite classic romcom "The Proposal", watched first 2 episodes and I am hooked! love it love it~

TBH Jan 04 2025 10:29 am I’m already so excited and invested just from reading the synopsis and seeing that it’s a reverse gender of the typical CEO x Secretary couple dynamic. Ofc I was also already sold just bc it is LJH! Waiting for new episodes is usually hell, but me not having time these days to just binge a series anyway justifies starting this ongoing series now lmao

Nimi Jan 04 2025 5:17 am Wowwww the leads are giving great facials,nice acting and I can feel the chemistry already. I love this and can’t waitttttt

ME Jan 03 2025 9:04 pm It's about time LJY gets a lead role!! I've loved this dude since 'A Poem A Day' which I don't think Anyone other than me watched. Let's go JooHyuk oppa!!

Inmo Jan 03 2025 7:58 pm Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I can't decide if I regret so much for not waiting to marathon all eps or that I watch this now and puking rainbow over it. Only the first ep and I'm sold! I've missed Han Ji-min in a romcom and this drama looks like it's written so well. There's no romance yet as it's only the first ep but for some reason the two leads already make me ship them so much. If you haven't watch this, just hold it until all eps are released or you'll suffer in agony waiting for the new episodes like me.

Divethereal Jan 01 2025 8:13 am I can't wait for Jan 3! I have been waiting for a romatic project for Lee Joon Hyuk since A Poem A Day..He should get more romantic kdrama roles pleaaaase

Rk Dec 06 2024 3:53 am I will watch it.. coz the male lead is so handsome. I saw him in are you human too

Iwiz Dec 05 2024 8:36 pm Finally modern romance kdrama with veteran experienced actor actress with proper age gap. I'm no it

Eli Aug 12 2024 1:00 pm I love both the lead actors. Hope for a nice romance as they seem to have a good chemistry.

Miss C. Aug 03 2024 7:43 pm Can't wait for Lee Jun Hyuk. He is my top favorite korean actor.

Ellie Jul 20 2024 6:14 pm Im so excited Lee Joon Hyuk ??

Ted Bogart May 23 2024 2:16 pm Sounds like another "One Spring Night" - the series that got me hooked on Kdramas. Can't wait to see it.

Vee May 06 2024 5:19 pm Can't wait !! I love him in house of bluebird and stranger , love her in one spring night

Florenn razon Jan 31 2024 9:13 am I am so excited to watch this drama that will be starred by my fave actress han ji min.

Jillibean Nov 22 2023 12:09 am Nan, LOL! Thanks for my laugh before turning in for the night.

Hey, Lee Joon Hyuk once played a Naked Fireman, that sure made MY ovaries explode! (even IF they are 65 years old now!). LOL

Ekin Nov 18 2023 9:44 am Lee Joon hyuk as a secretary once again was my wish last year. And year before that. And year before that... and the way of him portraying a sensible, understanding man with those eyes is just phenomenal. Looking forward to see this drama.

Nan Nov 18 2023 5:35 am Lee Joon Hyuk as a caring single father!? Do they want our ovaries to explode!?

Wulan Nov 17 2023 2:09 am My two fav actors in one drama ?? Can't wait to watch it ??

Jillibean Nov 16 2023 10:42 pm Han Ji Min has worked so hard at her craft for two decades. She's phenomenal. I can't wait to watch this. It looks really interesting.
