I would classify this as "Kdrama - Melrose Place Style." It moves pretty quickly. It's not filled overly cliched Kdramas scenes (umbrella rescue, brushing teeth together, adults kissing with their eyes wide open.
The plot is straight forward with lots twists. Some predictable, some not.
The acting was a little eh in places but the FL did wonderful in her switch up. Sung Hoons voice sometimes is a little too deep so his lines come out like a Broadway performer but he's still pretty!
I'd absolutely recommend this if you want a more American night time soap feeling show versus a typical makjang.

What a surprisingly perfect show! I am a fan of contract marriages, revenge dramas, romances involving revenge and family dynamics, and this drama had it all. The actors were a pleasant surprise too, since I was seeing most of them for the first time, including the leads, and that when I have watched over a hundred K-Dramas already. I loved it that the story concluded in 12 episodes, and there were no unnecessary stretches that needed skipping or forwarding. I finished the show in two days flat, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting drama that keeps you hooked from start to finish!
"In your next life, don't be so good."
This series gave me serious "Marry My Husband" vibes which I really liked as that drama was amazingly well done.
Nevertheless, this drama did not disappoint me one bit with its exciting, different story including lots of dramatic scenes, intrigues, and unexpected revelations that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
It centers around a wonderful couple that finds to each other under quite unusual circumstances, where the love was practically overflowing from some point onwards.
Additionally, Do-guk's behavior, his unconditional support, and simple presence show what love is actually about.
Meanwhile, this is the empowering story of Yi-joo learning to love herself first and foremost instead of sacrificing everything for people who only exploited her.
Lastly, this series has great story developments that are more than highlighted by amazing acting.

Yes, It's a low-budget drama , but it has a lot of unique things, nowadays drama doesn't have. The simplicity, the excellente chemistry, the no exaggerated acting, and most importantly the warmth vibe.
To be more specific, I'm talking about the ML and FL. The others were so annoying except the ML's mother and grandmother ^^
Lastly I had a crush on Sung hoon during "My Secret Romance" and Idk why, but he disappeared suddenly, till now I heard about this drama and I renewed my love for him, I really want to see him more, his natural /warm acting and charming appearance should not get wasted.
Btw: Why do I always end up liking the less popular actors with beautiful talent, but zero luck? This man right here (sung hoon) has a huge potential but unfortunately misguided. He need to challenge himself and try other genres beside romance.

For the first time I can say that one drama did proper justice to the original webtoon. When the announcement of this drama came out I was very sceptical about it. But after the first episode itself I was super impressed. Each single character did an amazing work. I was actually surprised to see that they were able to conclude the entire webtoon in the 12 episode drama. Few important points weren't included in the drama. They could have been included if it were a 14 or a16 episode drama. But again it could have been dragged unnecessarily.
