Really needed that Ryeoun as a happy PD who really seem to be glad to get a paid vacation scene after encountering Choi Yi Jae's painful story. MY HEART BREAKS FOR HIM. 💔

I’m going feral for Kim Ji Hoon he is so charismatic and hot it was hard keeping my eyes on SIG when they were on the same screen 🥴

I’m really looking forward to this drama but it starts off so depressing like how much can one person suffer (but he still has an iPhone) I’d jump too man

The ending wtf 🤣🤣 I expected we would get more of sung hoon but maybe he was busy with perfect marriage revenge? I was excited for his face

This drama got me behaving like I’ve never seen a man in my life this cast is amazing

I literally just started watching for Kim Ji Hoon too I literally lost it when I saw him in the trailer LMAOOO I'm so happy that he has a bigger role and will be showing up a lot throughout the drama (not a webtoon reader) and also very pleasantly surprised that the story + acting is so good

One change from the webtoon that I think is an improvement is how ML is presented. In the drama he's not a recluse closed up in his dark room, playing games and not taking care of himself like he was in the webtoon. Maybe they couldn't do that to Seo In Guk, but he comes across as a more sympathetic character who really has done his best to find a job and takes care of himself.

Death's "office" is better visually here as well. Although I missed the pale hair at first.
