Seo Ji-Woo is hard to like, but I think that is the point. She talks rough because she is under pressure all the time. I liked that she was not written as sweet or polite. The drama shows how unfair society can be to women in scandals. It was uncomfortable, but believable.
 
This drama made me uncomfortable, and I think that was intentional. It shows how love can follow you even when you wish it would stop. I related to the idea of meeting someone from your past when your present life is already broken. The timing is cruel, and the show does not soften that. I did not always like Seo Ji-Woo, but I believed her pain. Her rough speech felt like armor. Park Seo Jun gave a quiet performance that matched the tone. The journalism aspect added weight, even if it was not deeply explored. What stayed with me is the question of whether love is enough when trust and timing are damaged. The drama does not give easy comfort, and I respect that. It is not something I would watch for fun, but it is something I would think about after finishing. Sometimes stories are meant to sit heavy, not make you smile.
 
I think this drama depends a lot on how much patience you have. It moves slowly and spends a lot of time on emotions instead of plot. Personally, I liked that. I enjoyed watching small reactions and quiet scenes more than big moments. Park Seo Jun’s performance felt restrained, and that matched his role as a reporter who hides feelings. Seo Ji-Woo frustrated me, but I also felt sorry for her. Being trapped in a bad marriage and then exposed publicly is not something everyone can handle with grace. I did not see her as crude, just exhausted. The repeated meetings might feel repetitive to some, but I saw them as reminders that unfinished feelings do not disappear easily. This is not a drama I would binge in one day. It works better when watched slowly. It is not perfect, but it feels sincere in showing emotional mess instead of clean romance.
 
I felt more sympathy than romance while watching. Seo Ji-Woo’s situation was painful, and I kept thinking how trapped she was. The story made me angry at society more than at the characters. That stayed with me after finishing.
 
I am somewhere in the middle on this one. I did not love it, but I also did not hate it. I think the idea is better than the execution. The conflict of a reporter covering a story that involves his former lover is strong. That part kept me watching. However, the pacing felt uneven. Some episodes drag with long conversations, and then big emotional moments end too fast. Ji-Woo’s character is written in a way that invites criticism, but I see her as someone who never learned how to protect herself. Her choices make sense even when I disagree with them. The drama worked best when it focused on pressure from society and media. When it leaned into romance again, it became weaker. I would recommend it only to people who like quiet dramas with flawed adults, not to people expecting a cute or relaxing rom-com.
