I think the way you tell a story, cliche or not, is the important thing when you watch a series/movie. In this series the story is very well written and worth to watch. The story is about the relationship between the secretary and the CEO of a headhunting firm. The way their relationship gradualy grow is the main story. The two are the completly opposite where the secretary is a organized freak and the CEO is a kaos workholic and the way they let us know how each character is are very funny. If you need a break in reality and stress, watch this series and relax, better than go to a psichanalist.

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!

This is just a review of the first two episodes, as that is all we have to date. I am already wishing I hadn't heard of this until all episodes were released and I could binge it. I have a good feeling about this series. It appears to be 12 episodes, which, if they keep a tight storyline, will I'm sure be perfect. I'm not a fan of characters getting together and breaking up often over stupid misunderstandings just as a time filler. Although I'm happy with time away from the main characters if there are interesting secondary character plotlines. Which I think there may be going by the quick peek at the 3rd episode we received.

Right away I was interested in the premise of this series as I had enjoyed the Ryan Reynolds/Sandra Bullock romcom movie with Reynolds as the very put upon male assistant to Sandra Bullock, and I still rewatch that.

Love Scout is not a comedy but I'm loving the vibe and there were some amusing moments. I will always give a series a chance, watching at least two if not three episodes to ensure I have grasped and am in invested in the main world/character build. This caught me within 30 minutes. By the end of the 2nd episode I was immediately checking to see how long I had to wait for the next episode.

5 days!!!!!!! Luckily, as I am late to the KDrama party, (2023) I have a lot of amazing shows to catch up on. I will update next weekend.

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 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**

Should be called Talent Scout. There isn't much love scouting, is there?

This was sold to me as something revolutionizing romance k-drama. It doesn't. It's got its good points but overall it's a mess of a script and not much in the way of character building. It's actually got so many of the minor tropes in the construction of scenes and even character dynamics. They only switched the genders, now you have the cold female CEO and the warm, kind-hearted secretary. How is that solving anything?

Manic pixie dream boy come secretary whose main purpose it to save the female lead from whatever trouble she gets herself into and adore her unconditionally and anticipate and cater to her every whim. He is the perfect father, boyfriend, and professional, all at the same time, without any protestation. Have you seen anything like it? Cause I haven't. Must be quite a sight. Of course, I forgot to mention he is also ridiculously attractive and attracted only to her, but that goes without saying. Sounds reasonable right? What is even more laughable is that his whole thing was that he suffered professionally because he put his kid first and had to neglect work, but when he comes to her company he can spend long nights at the office, and his child is miraculously not affected by it.

The work environment in the field of head-hunting is also not very believable, I am pretty sure things don't happen that way and that easily. These company employees are miracle workers sometimes. Of course they/she had to be faced with almost insurmountable obstacles in the form of industrial espionage and conspiracies and back-stabbing. Things could not be any worse, but somehow it is all resolved, and quite easily and quickly. And when it was all crashing down nobody thought of calling some lawyers for legal protection. Whole two episodes, you are being investigated for criminal offenses, nobody had a lawyer there. This is madness.

I know there is plenty of suspension of disbelief in k-drama, but some people are really pushing it. I'm no expert so it's easy to fool me, but at least make me believe it.

As for the structure and pacing, it felt rushed and shallow towards the end. They wasted so much time on the setup and her being unbearable that if left too little time for a believable relationship or a credible resolution to the company's problems.

This woman was so insufferable for so many episodes I was having trouble imagining how they would make them fall for each other. Again, I guess you gotta believe in it.

Compared to what it promised to be this it nothing more than six. In the large pool of k-drama rom-coms it's very mid, so seven. Did not like Han Ji-min here at all, but maybe any other actress would have been just as unlikeable.

Korean Drama '' Love Scout '' is a slow burn love story with chill vibes.

The drama is indeed a slow burn, from the atmosphere, which was perfect for the story, to the romance, which was well paced and the couple shared enough sweet and romantic moments as well as chemistry. The office drama was interesting as well, though the small 'cases' that the company was 'hunting' that were the most entertaining and touching.

Also the family dynamics were sweet and blended nicely with the main story.

However, there were things that the drama didn't manage that well, like the love triangle, the 'evil' business competitor, and the background story-trauma.

The performances, finally, were all great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

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 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.

I don't usually write reviews, but LOVE SCOUT deserves every word of love and appreciation I can give it. This isn't just another KDrama - this is the KDrama. My most favourite ever. And trust me, I've seen a lot.

What makes LOVE SCOUT so special is its simplicity, its honesty, and the beautiful way it portrays love. No unnecessary melodrama, no chaotic twists, no toxic fights or typical KDrama chaos. Just two people - Eun-ho and Kang Ji - slowly, gracefully falling in love. And that slow burn? It's so real, so tender, it stays with you long after the show ends.

I actually discovered this gem through some Insta edits of Eun-ho and Byeol. Byeol looked super cute, so I gave it a try. That one random decision changed everything. I found my perfect KDrama. The one I'll always come back to.

Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk? Absolutely flawless. Their chemistry is pure magic. They're sweet, mature, and so incredibly lovable together. I genuinely hope to see them share the screen again someday. They're that good.

Also, if you're someone who's tired of the usual KDrama tropes and over-the-top storytelling, please give LOVE SCOUT a chance. It's refreshingly different in the best way possible.

LOVE SCOUT is not just a show. It's a feeling. And for me, it's forever.

I can understand why this show is a hit. She is the CEO and he is her secretary. The gender role reversal compared to Secretary Kim is amusingly handled. The man handles everything even beyond his job description so well that it is funny. From cooking to protecting. Plus Lee Jun Hyuk always looked sharp in a suit since City Hunter and Are you Human. Like a perfect wife and husband in one. Han Ji Min is good at giving life to her no nonsense CEO character. She is smart and not a frustrating person. She says things quickly and deals with issues decisively. She has a nice hairstyle that suits her.

The premise for them to be together is good. No messy in laws and she was also from a single parent household so she understands him and his daughter.

The various clients stories are quite interesting. Makes you appreciate what a headhunter has to do.

A few flaws. Some of the other characters storylines are a bit weak at times. Like the aunt raising her niece as her son and the young director. The office humor is strained sometimes as in most kdrama office shows they have to exaggerate to create excitement. This is a watchable show.

This was an excellent K-Drama. It ticked all the right boxes. The casting was perfect. The male and female leads did a terrific job making their characters believable. Although this is only 12 episodes, the story line flows well. All of the supporting cast is great. The antagonistic characters were also played well. All of the main characters had growth. This was not a trope filled mess. The relationships were well thought out and executed. The child actors carried their parts well and interacted well with their adult co stars. It is a treat to find such great characters with such a well written story.

Ok so I have to say of all the KDramas I've watched, this one has one of the best ebbs and flows in the story arc. I absolutely love how the male lead actor fits into this role and wins the lead females heart. He truly shows a very different level of the typical male lead. He shows all the good things required in a true masculine role-service oriented, protector, and encourager for his love interest. Perseverance. Patience. Understanding. One of the most refreshing aspects is that there is no stupid plot twist that takes the story on useless journey to nowhere only to come back to a happy ending-like 99% of KDramas do. There were challenges for the couple to come together but it was portrayed in a realistic way to the audience.

"Love Scout" fails to captivate, delivering a lackluster narrative that struggles to engage. Despite Han Ji-min's commendable portrayal of Kang Ji-yun, the driven CEO of a headhunting firm, the storyline remains predictable and uninspired. The anticipated chemistry between Ji-yun and her secretary, Yoo Eun-ho, portrayed by Lee Joon-hyuk, lacks depth, leaving their relationship unconvincing. While the series aims to explore themes of work-life balance and personal growth, it falls short, resulting in a viewing experience that is both dull and forgettable. Han Ji-min's performance is a rare highlight in an otherwise monotonous drama.

I crave for a love life like theirs. It's such a wholesome drama with a powerful female lead and the male lead is strong as well which is just chef's kiss. The supporting actors are also so so fun and humorous.. loved each and every episode of this drama. The drama has so much more than just romance, it had friendships, parenthood, women empowerment and, business feuds and all this was dealt so well throughout the drama one by one. I would definitely rewatch it again and even binge it because it's just so comforting to watch. I hope everyone watches this at least once whether they are single or in a relationship.

*"Love Scout"* is a delightful mix of romance and humor, offering a fresh take on modern relationships. The story follows a quirky protagonist on their journey to becoming a professional love scout-helping others find love while navigating their own romantic struggles. With witty dialogues and relatable scenarios, the series dives into dating challenges in the digital age, exploring themes like vulnerability, connection, and self-discovery.

The standout cast delivers heartfelt performances, with strong chemistry and comedic timing. Vibrant settings and a memorable soundtrack elevate the viewing experience. Balancing humor with sincerity, *"Love Scout"* leaves viewers reflecting on love's complexities while laughing along the way. A must-watch for fans of heartfelt, lighthearted storytelling.

Love Scout was an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish, blending romance, comedy, and heartfelt drama seamlessly. The characters were beautifully written, each with their own struggles and growth, making their journeys incredibly engaging. The chemistry between the leads was captivating, filled with both heartwarming and heartbreaking moments. The series balanced lighthearted matchmaking adventures with deeper themes of love and self-discovery. The ending was nothing short of perfect-satisfying, emotional, and well-earned. It wrapped up every storyline beautifully, leaving a lasting impression. Love Scout wasn't just a romance drama; it was a touching story about fate, love, and second chances.

This new 2025 Korean drama series is NOT a great product. Too many and too much unnecessary fillers. This series could be shortened to half; six instead of 12 episodes. And the worst episode is the ending one.

Unfortunately, the arrangement of the screenwriter and other supporting roles has a huge failure. The whole script is full of ugly supporting roles:

in the headhunting company she runs, except for her, it seems that no employee is really working, fooling around all day long, both male and female employees, all fooling around, and even among them there is a young clown who is late for work every day and does nothing. Even the female supporting role who is the company's human resources director does not look like a competent person.

The whole scene about this headhunting company is obviously made up by a screenwriter who does not understand the operation of the company at all. From the first and second episodes at the beginning, all the scenes with these large numbers of employees can be skipped, because these implants are not only completely unnecessary, but also affect the rationality of this TV series and cause great harm to it.

In addition, in terms of casting, finding an actress who failed in beauty treatment as the boss of another headhunting company that she is hostile to also caused great harm to the show, because this woman looks very scary, and it is almost hard to imagine who would be willing to cooperate with her.

Furthermore, I wish that all of these characters would not talk to himself or herself like what we've often seen in most Korean dramas or movies. Korean dramas usually would make characters talk to him/herself to show their thought. But talking or murmuring to oneself is the thing that usually happens to old and aging people only. We viewers are not that stupid as the Korean screenplay writers or directors; if the actors are good enough to show what their thoughts at the moments, we could easily get them. We don't need to see these roles become such morons keep talking to themselves.

One more thing that bothered us is the cliched and formulated soundtracks. Every time when a clown-like farce scene comes, the music would be a similar comic tune. So whenever it appears, you know a farce scene, a completely unnecessary goofy FILLER SCENE is coming.

The best acting role in this drama series, as always, is the leading actress. Those supporting actors, except the leading male actor, are okay. The male protagonist is by far the worst Korean male actor I've ever seen. He acts not only like a robot but also very pretentious and awkward.
