Here are some translated comments from Korean online communities:
1. I'm enjoying it, haha. Keep up the good work!
2. The reaction isn't great; it might drop further.
3. Seo Kang-joon (서강준) always gets popular among female fans for his looks, but his projects consistently flop.
4. It's not good. The script is truly... even the director... ㅠ
5. I planned to watch until episode 4, but after watching yesterday, I decided to drop it. Both the director and the script are no good ㅠㅠ
6. The leads have terrible chemistry.
7. The content is strange too. The male lead is crucial in a romance drama, but his acting lacks charm... I don't want to watch it anymore.
8. Even MBC dramas aren't airing, so will it drop even more?
9. It'll probably stay around this level.
10. I'm watching it for the second male lead; it's... somewhat watchable.
11. The chemistry is just too...
12. They kept disparaging the female actress before it even aired. Who would watch it?
13. There was so much buzz before it aired...
14. Personally, long-term relationship themes are a hurdle... but then they say each person will be swayed by different people, which raises the bar even higher...
15. There are no comments disparaging the female actress here; there are more comments criticizing Seo Kang-joon. As the comments say, are Seo Kang-joon's fans causing trouble? ㅋㅋ
16. Why does Seo Kang-joon always choose such niche themes?
17. They really don't match.
18. Seo Kang-joon lacks charm in his projects. Is he just not captivating?
19. For a public broadcaster, this is pretty good.
20. It'll probably drop further; the theme isn't good.
21. Good looks alone can't make a drama a hit. They keep saying they'll 'fix the atmosphere,' but how can 2% fix anything? Now we can only pray it doesn't drop to 1%.
22. The two leads are just too mismatched... so I didn't watch it.
23. I watched the re-run yesterday and the day before; it was super boring... Let's just assume there are still 2% of viewers watching and let this drama pass.
24. 'Killer Mommy' (킬러맘) finished airing, but this drama didn't manage to attract any of its viewership.
25. Seriously, he's handsome, but his romantic acting is surprisingly bad.
26. The theme is terrible; I didn't even try watching it.
27. And Seo Kang-joon isn't the type to have great chemistry with actresses.
28. Those who said they'd 'fix the atmosphere' don't even watch Seo Kang-joon's dramas themselves, yet they yell at others to watch. It's crazy.
29. I feel like it will drop further...
30. Everyone says Seo Kang-joon is a good actor, but I don't really get it.
31. A male lead whose projects are always subtly not good, and a female lead who consistently stars in hit dramas – I wanted to see who would win... but it's still... ㅠㅠ
32. I feel like it will drop further.
33. The two have no chemistry ㅠㅠ There's none of that subtle, similar vibe unique to long-term couples, so it feels very unrealistic.
34. I like both Seo Kang-joon and Ahn Eun-jin (안은진) ㅠㅠㅠ
35. Ah... Ahn Eun-jin's previous works were all so good.
36. Seo Kang-joon's acting is so strange; it makes me uncomfortable to watch.
37. They said they'd 'fix the atmosphere,' but are they fixing it downwards? ㅋ
38. The two have no chemistry, and the content itself is lacking. There are unnecessarily many kiss scenes. I dropped it last week after watching, and sure enough, the ratings dropped.
39. Too many kiss scenes. The leads look foolish. Who likes this 'loyal to instinct' setting nowadays?
40. So many people clamored for Seo Kang-joon to do a romance drama, but why aren't they watching it?
41. It'll probably hover around 2%; it surely won't drop to 1%.
42. I think it's good ㅜㅜ
43. The scriptwriter seems to be struggling.
44. They always use Seo Kang-joon as the standard, saying there's no chemistry. Isn't that self-deception?
45. Well... the drama isn't good ㅠㅠ It's a shame ㅠㅠ
46. For a public broadcasting weekend drama, this is too serious. Starting at 2%, it might even drop to 0%.
47. Seo Kang-joon's face, why is his chemistry always like that? I feel like it will drop to 1%.
48. They look like siblings.
49. If it weren't for those who made a fuss, it probably would have passed by unnoticed, sigh.
50. The chemistry is too bad, right from the casting.
51. The two don't match.
52. I think it's good, but Seo Kang-joon's way of speaking? His voice seems to have changed after his military discharge. Am I the only one who thinks so?
53. I watched it. Chemistry aside, the script is the biggest problem. The main plot relies only on physical contact, and the two keep kissing endlessly, but it's not exciting at all. It happens so frequently that you can't help but wonder, 'Is that enough?' A 10-year long-term relationship plot is only about physical contact, really.
54. The content is truly not good. Even a light romantic comedy wouldn't be this boring. Getting to know each other and flirting is what's fun. What's interesting about a long-term relationship with mutual conflicts and dating other people? Instead of watching the male lead in a long-term relationship, a drama where the second male lead is the main character would be more popular.
55. The script is one thing, but the editing is also strange.
56. If it weren't for those who said they'd 'fix the atmosphere,' it probably would have passed quietly, sigh.
57. Seo Kang-joon's acting isn't bad; the script is the biggest problem.
58. The director, writer, and actors are all a mess. The male actor is always promoted for his looks, but he's not even that good, and his acting is mediocre.
59. I watched a short clip, and the lines were terrible. I thought, 'How can they write something so bland?' I completely lost interest.
60. I read the summary, and the content is super boring. I feel bad for the actors...
61. The theme isn't good; I don't want to watch it at all...
62. Seo Kang-joon has terrible judgment when choosing scripts ㅠ
