1. [+822, -72] I really can't bear to watch anymore. I'll be blunt, how can you find this fun to watch?? It's a C-list drama with all the corny lines and plot devices...

2. [+820, -39] It's true that the lines are cheesy...

3. [+726, -152] It's boring and they look like auntie and nephew

4. [+81, -7] The drama gets max points for visuals but Park Bogum doesn't match this type of role and Song Hye Gyo is basically playing Kang Mo Yeon season 2 ㅠㅠ

5. [+65, -7] Song Hye Gyo, always with the same facial expressions..

6. [+63, -8] First of all, their acting is horrible. Second of all, the plot is bad. Third of all, the directing is terrible.

7. [+61, -2] Song Hye Gyo just doesn't fit her role... She doesn't have an ounce of charisma that you'd expect from a hotel CEO. Park Bogum... is acting like a teen who's crushing on his homeroom teacher... I get that his character's supposed to be bright but there needs to be something about him that lets the viewers see him as a man but there isn't.

8. [+57, -4] This is the type of drama you leave on while you're on your phone ㅋㅋㅋ You already know what line they're going to say next ㅋㅋ and the lines are already so boring. Just stay on your phone and look at the screen once in a while when it's Park Bogum. Yesterday's episode was particularly boring because there weren't a lot of scenes with him.

9. [+56, -6] Park Bogum's lines make him sound like some kid in his early twenties.. ㅠㅠ too much positivity

10. [+56, -4] Cringey drama. Can Park Bogum stop with the forced smiling? The two have nothing going for them other than their visuals. Once again, I had to change the channel yesterday.

11. [+55, -4] Park Bogum's acting is like "look at me, I'm acting"... such fake looking laughs, awkward actions... He's a handsome, good person but his potential as an actor is lacking.

12. [+47, -8] I tried so hard to just sit through it... but I really couldn't stand to

13. [+42, -0] I'm surprised these two even agreed to the drama after reading that script..
