I love this drama because it shows a competent confident FL so her doing things is really fun to watch, you can never guess what she will do.... And ML is a charmer and a softie emotional so he is fun to watch too. Since this is a multifamily multigenerational drama, there are many parallel characters and stories and they are all good to watch. Acting is great! The story is slow for people who like to watch zombies and car chases... but the drama is a psychological thriller as you are watching many people act and react their own inner demons and then have to overcome them. This drama provides great learning about overcoming ... The only thing I would change is to add 20 lbs on female lead, she looks like an anorexic teenager and needs to get more muscle to her bare bones. She is cute and it is nice to see her face but. Male lead is gorgeous and most of the cast is gorgeous and acts very well. So bubblehead audience can just watch pretty people. Tue art lovers will have SO many opportunities to think about the plot and why things are happening and what is happening. It is really fun.

I gave 9.5 because it is not possible to give 9.8 as I wish. Because It got slow around episode 17 for a few episodes while the writers made the FL super dumb as so common in many boring kdramas. Luckily the FL is confident and smart again and creating some really fun plot twists :) She needs to stay confident and smart so that she can do more diverse and deeper and more complex acting and plot. It just adds a whole new interesting dimension and zillion opportunities to write interesting scrips for interesting characters and interesting acting.

I think this drama is a lot faster, with a lot better plot and acting than Young Lady and Gentleman, which was quite boring and frustrating except the ML but even he was so limited by really awful script with like 3 amnesias and SaRa - chaufer story and actors was lifted straight from another drama.... , Its Beautiful Now was better than YLAG but did not have much of a plot, and 3 bold siblings was better than IBN but had such weak acting from some of the main and side stories and did not show much how the characters changed and grew. 3BS became the story of the side pair who stole the show from the ML and FL bc FL was pretty but could not act and there was no chemistry between FL and ML. ML was a lot better in another drama where I saw him.

The Real Has Come writing is a lot more spunky and action moves faster, characters are more deep and complex, plot is more complex, actors are all great actors, all parallel stories are really meaningful and fun and also move fast, and overall, this is artistically and psychologically excellent. What I value the most is that this kdrama shows bad stuff for a bit just to show us what they have to overcome and then shows personal growth of the characters, so the plot moves forward, for all stories and characters. As for heartthrobs, the ML character is so charming cute sweet caring softie AND good looking that I am sure he will cause quite a lot of sighs and gain a lot of fans as his character is "the guy that every woman wants"
