Love to Hate You

I thought this was going to be another cliché drama and I wasn't convinced about the male lead at the beginning, but oh boy! How wrong I was.

I have to say that I am extremely happy to keep watching south korea creating more and more feminist and non traditional dramas lately, we have had a lot of jewels lately but they keep surpassing themselves.

This series is an oda to women's freedom and how we should never settle for the patriarchal norms that are stablished by a sexist society. And of course it also depicts the double standards for men and women within that same society.

I could say this series is open minded but in reality is only open minded in Asian countries, because women are already living this reality in western countries.

In terms of characters I cannot stress enough how much I ADORE the FL character in this series. Strong, witty, quirky, loyal and with a huge sense of justice. A woman fighting against societal stereotypes for women and ignoring judgement from others. Just being free doing whatever she wants to be happy, same as men have done for centuries.

I also loooved the bromance between the ML and the secondary male lead.

Super fun series, short and sweet. Packed with comedy and action you will laugh and enjoy the electrifying chemistry between the leads.

What is not to love??? Go watch it!

I am very picky and I was very much in need for a new k-drama but this just happened to catch my eye. It is one of the best I've seen. Definitely would love for other people to see this drama. It's short and sweet but also really gets you invested in what is happening or what is going to happen next. There were tears of sadness, happiness, as well as tears of laughter. I'm sure that a person that is not picky, would love this show. It is more westernized but also has its way to your heart. It has new concepts that are rarely seen in older k-dramas, which can be very refreshing to see. Overall, it was very much enjoyable and would rewatch it again.

I only know few popular korean actors so the stars here are unfamiliar to me, however they are quite very good I have to say.

The female lead character was kind of unbelievable, like a superwoman, doing everything you can think of (I wouldnt be surprised she cooks well too). I think they've put too much super-ness on her. The male lead, quite the common male superstar actor, so hes quite realistic and managed to balance the development of the story.

What makes this also enjoyable to watch is because the actors were not by typical romcom young korean actors, but by mature ones and they still came out funny, I think theyre mid-30s to 40s.

Overall, I think this is an entertaining series, binged on it in fact. Better than "Business Proposal" and "Shooting Stars" in terms of acting and story.

This short rom-com has comedy, romance with action n drama. It's about leads who are having deep prejudices against the opposite sex, get into love battle.

This drama has unconventional female lead character. She is feisty lawyer, who is social crusader against misogynist, sexists n patriarchal society and gives vigilante justice with her martial art practice. She is gritty, strong, baddass.

On the other hand, the male lead's character is A list Hero, who appears sweet, spotless character is actually rude and judgemental towards woman. When opposite collide love battle begins.

Because series is short ( 10 episodes) they explore serious social issues on surface level. And quickly just mention character backgrounds. At times it get slow n there are some plotholes.

This is the first romantic series for both lead actors, otherwise they known for their action n fight roles. Both has good HOT on-screen chemistry, done quite good job.

FL Kim Ok-bin amazed me with her fight, action, adventure scenes also done romantic n comedy scenes well. ML Teo Yoo swoon me with his physique n look. Ji hoon-kim made me laugh n swoon. I had a good laugh watching bromance of ML n Hoon-kim. 😅

Likable characters, easy, simply entertaining, binge-worthy series.

Though it's predictable, nothing revolutionary, it did entertain me and I had good time binging it.

I really loved this rom-com. It was light-hearted, picked with incredibly funny but also heartfelt romantic scenes. In 10 episodes I came to love the main characters, cheer for their journey of mutual understanding, respect and love. I especially liked the friendship between the male leads. It was bromance at its best, but also the female leads were great in supporting each other.

I cannot understand the bad reviews on this one as I had an absolutely amazing time watching this adult rom-com kdrama, especially the lack of overly cheesy moments made it an absolute pleasure. 100% recommendation for some joyful kdrama hours!
