Love to Hate You

I was exploring the internet to find something to watch, and I found this dorama on IMDB, and I love it!

This is a fun, and romantic story by Netflix, and I am here for it! I watched all ten episodes in one day, and I don't regret it!

This is a feel-good show. Of course, it is predictable and naive, but sometimes it's just what you need. All the actors are great, and the leads have great chemistry! When they are together, my heart beats faster as well.

That's true what I read, that this kdrama was made American-like. But why not? I liked that the leading actress was a feminist, and in the end, she also found her way to find the balance between love and hate for men.

Not only the story of the leads were good, but the second planed heroes were very interesting as well!

Honestly loved it!

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 actually hated the first episode. The production was annoying and I don't like the weird acapella music. It wasn't fitting to the mood or the plot. But the production was less annoying after the first episode.

The characters are really good. I enjoyed how they brought up the issue of sexism in Korea. At first I was wary because the main girl was blatently hateful of men in general, but she had a lot of character growth and realized that she was also prejudiced against guys. It was a natural progression that was really honest.

I loved their romance. The main guy's eyes crinkle up when he smiles and it's adorable. It's not overly dramatic and dark. They maintain a healthy relationship and have good communication. They have fun together too, laughing and playing as equals. It's not often to see that in dramas so I really liked it.

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 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!
