Panseokah Mar 08 2026 4:49 pm I’ve tried really hard to figure out why this was so mid. I think the FL was hard to like, especially when she treated the ML so poorly.

But then I thought, PSJ was not attractive in this drama. His whole look, from clothing to hairstyling to color. It was not fun to look at.

Liryoow Feb 17 2026 5:02 am Tbh the series quite confusing and too many unnecessary flashbacks, they have rushed the ending that I felt “ok”.

Papago Feb 16 2026 11:08 am One I don’t understand, why on earth she married to her ex husband when she still have feeling on him? It was not clear how she end up with his ex husband.

Papago Feb 15 2026 2:21 pm What really annoys me about this drama is the wardrobe choice for the ML and FL. The fashion feels like it’s stuck a decade ago. The ML keeps wearing those oversized outfits like he raided someone’s old closet, and the FL’s dresses are just as outdated. And don’t even get me started on the ML’s hairstyle — it never changes! Making him look even old! Isn’t she supposed to be in the fashion industry? I was expecting something stylish and elegant, like the looks in Queen of Tears, not this fashion disaster.

Mike Feb 10 2026 3:50 am too many flashbacks that bounce all over the years. Very interrupting. I have no idea why the college friends are in.

Mike Feb 10 2026 3:46 am I found the first episode confusing but the subsequent episodes cleared that up. However a person who watched this show with me became very annoyed at all the flashbacks to the past. Annoyed to the extent they stopped watching. It was hard at times to decide whether this next scene was a continuation of the same timeline or a different one so I found the flashbacks annoying as well.

There are only 12 episodes and the flashbacks are being used as fillers to pad the story out. All in all, slow but interesting.

Suzanne Feb 08 2026 1:54 pm There are 9 yrs difference in ages between my son & his older girlfriend. They’re both active & attractive (not that it makes any difference) & they’re very happy together. They have most of the same interests & enough that aren’t, making them both also independent too. Some K-drama fans need to grow up. It’s not like anyone’s mandating you to do the same thing.

Panseokah Feb 07 2026 4:05 pm I don’t know what I think. There was a lot going on. Didn’t love or hate it. Just middle of the road.

Keong Feb 04 2026 1:56 pm So many unnecessary scene. SPOILER ahead ! Why even bother telling about their college friends in a form of flashback, when in the present they only meet to celebrate something or throwing a party ? FL's brother in law dare to slowly drugs his wife so he can be her guardian and sell the company, but when his plan failed he only set an affair rumour to kick FL from the company ? ML's story about buying a suit to pay tribute is out of this world. Should've just focus on the romance between FL and ML, cut all the unnecessary scene, reduce the episode. No matter how slow the pace is, i think it would be a better series as a whole.

Fullheart5 Feb 02 2026 3:55 pm Better than her being eleven years older than him………happens a lot.

Ros Jan 26 2026 3:36 am Was loving it until that one part in the last episode. It was totally so unnecessary.

Cecilia Jan 23 2026 4:09 am Am only on episode 1 and I am so irritated with the seo ji woo character. Am thinking of not watching anymore.

rey Jan 20 2026 2:38 am wake up.. wake up.. wake up kyeong doo !!!

Gervin Jan 19 2026 2:01 am Dabesttt!!, hope they make another drama starring the same main cast love team Park Seo-Jun and Won Ji-An

gnp Jan 16 2026 1:01 am I want to watch this but the synopsis is giving "The Third Charm" vibes

boringnerd Jan 14 2026 10:57 pm I love the dynamics between Kyeong Do and Ji Woo. Ji Woo constantly teasing and provoking Kyeong Do, and Kyeong Do responding awkwardly never fails to make me smile.

Andrea Jan 14 2026 6:16 am @Joe the point of the break up was Lee Kyeongdo doesn't want Ji Woo to suffer, he doesn't want for Seo Ji Woo to become adulteress on public's eyes that's why they needed to break up and tell a story that he's just giving back to Ji Woo's father that's why he and Ji Woo was close.

K8MD Jan 13 2026 4:29 pm Giving this 5 starts ! It’s been awhile since my heart flutters again in a drama! Jian and SeoJun are so perfect here.. Young love to breakups and more. This is fresh new kind of Chaebol Lead star. I am rewatching it again and now I understand it more and really makes me to watch it till the end. Love it! I want more drama For Jian please!

bellnap Jan 12 2026 9:50 am lurveee, really enjoyed the drama throughout all those eps.

Surely_tomorrow Jan 12 2026 9:13 am Thank You For Such Series! The kdrama that ignited my love for dramas again after so many years! I havent been able to watch anything without skipping and dropping episodes until this. To each their own but i truly loved everything, from the angst to the flashbacks to the friendships. I wanted more lovey dovey scenes at the end and maybe a proposal from gyeongdo but ill take the post-credits scene, thank you PSJ and specially won ji an! please more romance dramas from you<3

Y_nnep Jan 12 2026 1:34 am I love it, I loved every scene. Felt every scene. What struck me most was how realistic it felt. The narrative captures a powerful truth: in our lives, we may have one great love that shapes us deeply, whether we end up with that person or not. I like that the pacing is slow, that’s exactly what makes it real. There are no rushed moments and every flashback feels earned. Park Seo-joon is amazing as always, he never disappoints! And not to mention soooooo handsome. The female lead is beautiful and great too. I’m giving it a perfect score.

Joe Jan 11 2026 7:26 pm I really enjoyed this drama until the last two episodes. Someone please explain to me, what exactly was the point of the breakup?

Audreyyy Jan 10 2026 10:27 pm is it sad ending? hell nah

Vien Jan 10 2026 1:50 pm Love the chemistry of the ML & FL. Slow pace drama but enjoyable to watch. Can't wait to see how it ends.

EAS Jan 08 2026 10:29 pm I'm a relative newbie (26 months), but have competed 31 shows and have hit on a good variety. This one was a lot like my first - it took a while to catch on what was happening, but once I did, I was hooked. The sharpness between the ML and FL becomes more understandable as each episode reveals more background and answers more questions. The corporate sub-plot is pretty predictable, but serves as a good background to the lovers as they work it out ... once again. Surely Tomorrow!

Dongman Jan 04 2026 11:15 pm I really need 16 episodes of this series!!! :'( I love seeing how cute and beautiful Won Ji-An is while teasing PSJ. Overall, the story feels so sweet and deep, and every joke is light but spot-on. Good luck to all the actors and actresses!

Andrea Jan 04 2026 10:41 pm I agreed with Surely sure viewer, this drama is not for everyone. This drama is for real kdrama lover who was watching kdrama since the beginning of Halyu wave. I've been watching kdrama for 20 plus years now and this is our kdrama.

Mansson Jan 03 2026 10:35 pm I watched this drama couse Park Seo Jun ❤

Surely sure viewer Dec 30 2025 7:48 pm This drama isn’t for everyone, only the sophisticated viewer will understand it. The pacing is just perfect and really enjoy the nuanced and intricate storytelling! Love how it slowly reveals each puzzle piece going between present and past. Every question eventually gets answered if you’re patient enough and that’s what makes it so satisfying!

Mac Dec 30 2025 1:47 pm Christina, I’m with you. The plot may feel excruciatingly slow for some but the real time, nostalgic effect, revealing the arc of the story is very effective. The cinematography is beautiful. The way it creates distance, coldness may be prosaic to some but it foreshadows to the viewer, the time and the space required to close this emptiness the lovers experience. This is going to take take, so viewers accept it and settle into the pace of you really want to understand the nuance of the couple’s journey.

Cristina Dec 30 2025 7:23 am Errata corrige: its unfolding

Cristina Dec 30 2025 7:20 am I’m loving it. It’s unfolding is slow but meaningful. It touches many uncomfortable topics such as alcohol abuse and use of drugs and mental health. And unlike other comments here I love the dialogues: at times funny, at times soft and gentle, but deep.

Drama Lover Dec 29 2025 10:00 pm I was wondering if I was the only one bored with the drama. I love PSJ and watch almost all his dramas/movies so I was really excited. The cinematography just felt flat and I kept waiting for the storyline to get interesting. I don’t know if the FL was a bad actress, but her teasing personality felt awkward. Maybe the issue was the script? Idk….Looking forward to his next project. Dont think I’ll go back to this one.

Meutia Dec 29 2025 10:22 am I also agree with comment from Im Suna below. I like romantic drama but I dont know why this one makes me bored. Maybe the story too slow and the dialogue is not interesting. I love PSJ so much but he is not look stunning in here. I dont understand its because the character of ML or the chemistry is 0. The FL acting also weird. I’m really sorry for saying this. But I still expect the next episode would be better and not dragging.

Budi Dec 27 2025 1:51 pm love it, the plot is like 500 days of summer, it takes you back and forth to understand the meaning of the lessons we learn. The downside is that for viewers who like instant gratification, they definitely won't like it, but I like it, thanks.

RAKW Dec 23 2025 9:39 pm User Im Suna clearly clarfies the points of why I am disappointed with this drama. PSJ has been a favorite actor of mine for a long time and he is wasted in this drama. The FL is trying her best but she would do better as a third lead or as a vicious villian, but not in this type of story. At the end of episode #5 and after scrolling through most of it, I can't bring myself to watch #6 or any others except maybe the last episode to bring closure. I look with great anticipation to PSJ's next project.

Es El Dec 22 2025 11:35 am The user below Im Suna perfectly describes how I feel about this drama. But now I’m invested and probably just need to finish it. Maybe it’ll get better??

tofu Dec 22 2025 6:18 am The lead pairs needs to portray as early and late 20s and late 30s. But I didn't expect the female lead to be too young expected her age would be around 30-35

Im Suna Dec 22 2025 5:38 am Episodes 1 & 2 were good, but episodes 3–6 became kind of boring. There’s a lot of unnecessary dialogue and filler scenes, especially revisiting past breakups, which didn’t feel needed. I wish they’d move on and focus more on the present. It got so slow that the spark between them gradually faded. The female lead’s acting isn’t very strong, and even PSJ started to feel dull. It’s too slow for a K-drama. It’s a shame because many people were excited because of PSJ, but the story doesn’t really suit him, and the female lead’s acting isn’t at the level you’d expect for his co-star. I ended up skipping and fast-forwarding, it felt like a waste of time.

Bok Soo jin Dec 18 2025 11:19 pm The chemistry the music and the story is very nice. More drama with these two.

juju Dec 13 2025 4:23 pm stop making this variety show type pd direct tv series. excellent writer, excellent actors, and i feel like watching three meals a day. hire a real director, or at least better cinematographer

Kitikiti Dec 08 2025 9:18 pm The FL really look mature. I didnt expect she were born in 1999, thought its 1992-1994. But its good because she really fit the role

Lilca Dec 08 2025 7:37 am healing romance?

Sushi87 Dec 07 2025 4:05 pm Skipped through some scenes in ep 1. Some parts predictable. PSJ looks older (naturally). FL is not annoying so let's seem. PSJ workmate is the ultimate mama Gyongseong creature actress.

jtbc Dec 07 2025 8:17 am Lately JTBC giving us Melodrama on Sat-Sun Slot..

sure sure Dec 07 2025 8:15 am That Sung Si-kyung's song is so famous they always use it for a first love story trope, not that i'm complaining, i just cant help but to sing along during that scene.

기다리며 Dec 07 2025 8:13 am I will surely tune in for the angst

Yuri Dec 07 2025 7:48 am Broke up and then they will get back together?

Lee Dec 07 2025 7:29 am Can't wait for the 2nd episode!

wonjian Dec 07 2025 7:27 am Really hoping for a good ending on this one...

Fans Dec 07 2025 7:08 am Him in Melodrama!

watcher Dec 07 2025 7:00 am Park Seo Joon finally coming back!

KL Dec 06 2025 8:07 pm I am expecting a lot from female lead. So far, the actress is falling short. Park Seo Jun is great but the actress is not up to par. It’s like the production wanted a Kim Hye Yoon but couldn’t and went ahead with a someone that sort of look like her? Let’s see how the series continue….my expectation is too high for a RomCom now.

real Dec 02 2025 11:32 am king of romcom is back

psj fans Oct 15 2025 1:33 am release on netflix malaysia or not? plsplspls put in netflix or prime video

NETFIX Portugal please!! Aug 28 2025 4:24 am The fabulous Park Seo Joon please for Netflix Portugal...very important

zeina May 27 2025 10:13 am omg cant wait im so happy to see won jian hopefully this turns out good

Leann Walters Apr 19 2025 8:30 am Can’t wait to see this K-Drama. Park Seo-Jun is such an amazing actor Dan so very handsome! Can’t get enough of him. It’s almost May. Hope we don’t have to wait much longer longer.

Fifi Feb 20 2025 11:42 pm Can't wait to see Park Seo Jun ?

ur lover Feb 18 2025 3:57 pm omg this year full comeback ?

kimisoya Feb 18 2025 6:29 am Reading the plot synopsis, it should be the actress is the same age as PSJ, as they were past lovers in the story. That's why, I think Park Min-young will fit the role as Seo Ji-woo. She's the only perfect match for him. Ha

Emma Feb 09 2025 8:04 pm If Won Ji An rejected the role, please consider Park Min Young. ?❤️

Rizka Jan 08 2025 1:53 pm Hopefully waiting for gyeongdo will be a success

Oline Jan 07 2025 11:36 pm Really can’t wait my favourite Actor PSJ ❤️❤️❤️

auls Jan 07 2025 11:29 pm really can't wait to see you my Romcom King, Park Seo Jun ?

Farah Jan 06 2025 3:09 am I became a PSJ fan back in 2021 when I dove into the K-Drama world. Been supporting his works since and especially wishing for something romance centred again. I really can't wait! So glad to see him in a romcom again soon!!
