"What we look for love is something that we never looked for,

a person changes your life of what love really is..." (continuation) :>

This drama never disappoints!! it's not the typic cliché kdrama that talks about love and hate, but the fact that even the characters (especially the male and female leads) made a whole impact with this drama! I really love how each scenes blends well with the atmosphere, plus the chemistry of the casts never made me regret watching this! this was so underrated, that the fact that this drama was very special where in fact the story was really lovely! Never regretted to watch this drama and how it was so good!! For this note, i'll be talking more about the story and the characters and/or casts as part of taking this time to rate and give recognition to all users who are looking forward to watch this cute drama :)) (and why I rated it a perfect ten ), and finally while concluding this drama, I would definitely and finally confirming that this would be one of the best rom-com kdramas in 2023 so far!!

STORY/PLOT
It tells about a brave, strong, and a rookie attorney Yeo Mi-ran who works at Gilmu Law Firm, known at working numerous number of entertainment company accompanying cases involved by the actors/actresses images throughout their career. She is known to be a hardworking and lovely to her own mother and her best friend since high school who stayed by her side till present by an unexpected short-coming consequences, but she was not interested in entering another romantic relationships because of her exes and how she hates man that gives her all to the,. It was her typical moral lessons that she would never date the type of men she dated before.
On another, a top actor from the entertainment industry, Nam Kang Ho, was known from his famous roles and well known in south korea due to his titleship roles that made him recognized and popular by many. Due to his handsome and visuals, including his intelligence and kindness, many koreans, even the co-workers in his previous roles in his projects loved and adored him so much. With his personal life, he never trusted women, because of his past relationship that gives him anxiety and trauma.
But then, as they met together, they decided to be called as enemies. Turns out that they were in a love battle, as they slowly falling for each other. But both of them never trusts what love is, until they encounter challenges and obstacles in their path.

Well with the story itself, it was very interesting. No-called fate, a story about battling how they hated the word love, until one of them slowly falls in love and the other as well. I really fell in love with the plot itself. Where in fact, I craved for this type of story because honestly so far from the kdrama series I've finished, I never had the chance to look forward about the characters who had the same situation as they had, like never trust the word love in entering relationships. But the truth is where you can find if that person you were or were not looking for actually changes your life they way it was before. The lead and second lead couples made a whole lot different with how this drama was so underrated, including the story as well!! this is why I like this drama. Not your expected typical kdramas that we see. A 10 episode kdrama that I would badly want a 12 episode for another screentime to the second lead couples huhuhu :'))


CAST & CHARACTERS
All of them were new to me, so I'll make this part short. I'll go first with Kim Ok Bin as Yeo Mi ran. Wow she changed the whole atmosphere of the drama like most of the time! I really get so attracted with her character, because it not the type of kdrama fmls who always cries and made me *cringe* a bit, but she was far FAR different to some fml's hehe. I also looked at her discography, wow she was really skilled! From boxing, takewondo, and such! Kim Ok Bin was a promising actress, and hoping she could get roles like action-crime fiim's, and maybe i'll be looking forward to her future projects soon! Now with the handsome and attractive Yoo Teo as Nam Kang Ho, wow like HE'S 41!!??! goshhh kbeauty made them look so younger as ever. Like he's aged like fine wine for me :')). With his character, gosh how I wish to find a man like him huhuhu :')) like it's visible, how he really fell in love first to Mi Ran. I felt bad with his past relationships, since he quite get traumas and anxiety as well. But oh well looking forward to his next roles in the future projects to come!! Next, Kim Ji Hoon as Do Won Joon. He was known in the korean addapt. of money heist. But oh well he was attractive by his role and character. The first time as I saw him from this drama, both him and Yoo Teo has potentials to be recognized more since they deserve it so well! Including Ok Bin as well! Lastly, Go Won Hee as Shin Na Eun. Actually I was thinking if she was that recognized in this drama? Since most of the time the story really focused to the fml and ml, but she really deserve more screen time, as what I have said on top, Ji Hoon and her in their characters, they need more scenes because they had also good chemistry as well. But her character, I think it needs improvement because honestly some viewer (from the comments) say that her character was annoying, but for me she also bring attention to some scenes as well. To all of the casts, they need bigger recognition sooner, because they all deserve it! They really chose the drama that fits their appearances as well! and btw, their friendships in the drama was like from the drama A business proposal a bit haha.

Overall a good watch, but how much more this drama would be better if they had the great amount of screentime to the second lead couples, and also a 12 episode kdrama but oh well its netflix :'))

Good for binge watch (50-55 min 10 episode kdrama), perfect time kill during weekends and great for beginners as well! Very recommended to re-watch it all over again!!

Kudos to the writers of this drama!! Rooting for the casts and looking forward to their next projects to come!! LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND I'LL MISS THEM MORE :'D
