In an era marked by intense dramas like "Squid Game," "All of Us Are Dead," "Sweet Home," and "Hellbound," "Love Scout" stands out as a refreshing and heartwarming series. It takes viewers back to the days of classic, cliché dramas. The writing is solid, avoiding anything excessive or extravagant.

The story revolves around a hard-working CEO and her secretary, who is a single father. The supporting characters add a delightful touch to the drama. The chemistry between the leads is satisfying to watch, and the male lead is quite handsome. Additionally, the child actor portraying his daughter delivers an impressive performance.

This series consists of just 12 episodes, making it a perfect, light-hearted escape from our daily lives. It's definitely worth a watch. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts. I hope you have a wonderful day!

It was a struggle to get to the end of this wearisome series. The first few episodes showcased the slooooooww build up of the lethargic romance between the two leads. He looks at her. She glances at him. He looks at her again. He blinks. They're alone in the office. He falls asleep and she touches his nose. She's had too much to drink and she leans in, but will they kiss? No. Big nothing burger. The director thinks it's an amazing scene, so they show it twice. Then the two leads experience the least exciting date I've ever seen in a Korean drama-a piano recital!

Lots of shots of the deserted office at night with one or the other leads or both of them working diligently. They enjoy lots of meals/snacks together, and product placement proliferates. A certain Korean candy bar takes center stage three times. It's name is forever burned into my psyche.

At Episode Seven, the writers wake up and realize that there's not much emotional tension in this series, so they throw in a contrived complication. She weeps. He holds her. Will this non-tragedy drive our two lovers apart?

Nope. Back to business as usual. Meanwhile, the insipid dialogue deserves an award for pointlessness: "What's your favorite weather?" "Did you ever day-drink before?" Another couple exclaim over the fact that they're both wearing the same style of shoes.

Finally, toward the end, the evil villain makes a move. Now there's actually a conflict of sorts. But it's too late. The audience has been bored into oblivion.

I really enjoyed till the 4th episode cant wait for the 5th episode. The main thing i like about the drama is the cast, the main leads acting was phenomenal. To be honest i didn't have high expectation for this drama but after i watched it i fell in love with it. The story is the same as in any other romantic drama but i don't why i like this K drama i think it is because of the cast, Lee Jun-hyuk and Han ji min's acting was phenomenal i really loved it, ngl their were some emotional parts which was unnecessary. It caught me off the bat when i saw the first episode. Wanna give special thanks to the director who made the script and the story.

I REALLY LIKED IT BUT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON **THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION**

From the very first episode I was hooked. I wish I did not know about this drama until it is all done. I cannot wait for every week to finish for the next episode. I always start from episode 1 every week. The "kilig" is always there. Very light drama. Not a thriller. Another story of romance office drama. The leading man in the drama is the greenest of the green flag. The act of service is so damn good! A ceo who is messy and clumsy really needs a secretary who is organize, neat, spotless. Hoping they can release 3 episode every week. Cannot wait for the plot of this drama. Can't wait for the next episode!

I just finished the final episode and though not perfect, overall, the drama can be well recommended.

CEO Kang Ji-yun's character development is very well-written. I always loved a strong independent woman which she really was. I love that she was dominant but not over the top. She knows how to dominate but not make Eun ho feel less because she can also show her affection. She's cold at the beginning but a very hardworking CEO. Her storyline will really make you root for her! She's definitely one of the best characters with the best development I have come across in KDrama.

Yu Eunho is like a disney princess. He looks fragile but strong. Soft but manly. He's too good to be true. A perfect man any woman would wish they can have! (Which makes me really think since they didn't really touch the issue much why they divorced with her first wife-his college sweetheart-when Byeol was less than a year old. I was thinking-postpartum? Hmm.) Anyway, I love his relationship with her daughter very much. Byeol look up to him with so much admiration and pride. Every child deserves a role model like that. And Eunho's relationship with Jiyun is very well developed as the show progressed. I love how mature their relationship is. No unnecessary conflicts, only understanding and supporting each other. They act their age.

But one of my best story arc for this drama for me is Byeol and Jiyun's relationship. I love how they fit each other so well like a puzzle. It's like Jiyun is healing her inner child through Byeol, and Byeol having found a mother figure she definitely deserves. One of the reasons this review is only 8 is that I wish they showed a scene where Byeol called Jiyun her 'Eomma' and them living together.

Side characters, especially the people in Peoplez, are also fun to watch! I wasn't a fan of the villain characters but it was bearable. Good thing they didn't take too much screentime on the last episode.

Another reason why an 8 - I find some scenes to be a little too slow.. like walking or staring at each other for 3 whole minutes or so (yes, I timed it... it was that slow for me) BUT... it's not something Netflix's 1.25x or 1.5x speed can't fix. Lol

The actors and actresses, especially the main leads and the child, definitely gave justice to their characters. They were so great and their dynamics together are amazing! Byeol is sooo cute and so good!

Overall, Highly recommended! I would rewatch it again - though at 1.25 or 1.5x speed, and skipping the villains and company drama scenes.
