November 13th, 2016 at 9:42 pm
This drama has my favorite male actor, but could careless for UEE (who appears to be a secondary character) and the female lead in this drama. More than that, this drama sounds extremely boring. I’ll give it a pass and may watch when it fully loaded–so I can skip if I wan to.
November 14th, 2016 at 3:48 am
@iclarakl make sure that uee is a lead and was the firt one who offred the lead role in this drama and the other 2 actors were offred the offer a day after
November 15th, 2016 at 6:00 am
@iclarakl make sure since 2011 uee play lead roles and in this drama she’s a first lead with the other actor
November 16th, 2016 at 3:38 am
watch it only because of urr
November 16th, 2016 at 9:00 pm
@tamer and @jessy, that may be the case, but they usually list actors in the ranking of their status. UEE is listed 3rd. All the other actors are also lead actors especially the lead female in this drama. To be honest, I get distracted by UEE’s frozen face–cheeks that refuse to move.
November 17th, 2016 at 4:34 pm
Such a proud fan of Hojung. Been fan since day 1 of her modeling career. Looking forward to her acting debut ❤️
November 17th, 2016 at 5:50 pm
UEE.. i like her since Ho Goo’s love.. She is wonderful
Lee yo won.. I love her since 49days
But sorry for the male leads i dont really like him..
But i will watch it becoz of uee n yo won
November 17th, 2016 at 5:54 pm
love all the cast and it is promising drama especialy uee my favorite bias is in it
November 17th, 2016 at 7:10 pm
Era @ 23, The male lead became one of my favorites after seeing him in Descendants of the Sun where he was the co-lead. I like him just as much as the lead.
November 20th, 2016 at 6:54 am

November 22nd, 2016 at 4:52 am
@Era, Actually the drama is about a woman who tries using another woman but ends falling in love with her. The male lead is not so important.
November 22nd, 2016 at 7:47 pm
Really like lee yo won since fashion 70’s but the male lead is not my fav actor
November 23rd, 2016 at 6:15 am
Great start love both actresses uee and lee yo won

LS is getting on my nerves, what an idiot, she lost herself for staying around SEO YI which lifestyle is a very dangerous one, in fact not a happy one, l was thinking she was a smart one to think of a way getting out when she can,but stupid girl stayed,putting her own family in danger for greed.
December 1st, 2016 at 7:06 pm
@Dot the drama still in begening, i think she will give her up and take jingoo side,the drama get more and more exciting every episode
December 1st, 2016 at 7:10 pm

December 1st, 2016 at 7:15 pm
suppppppppeeeeeeeeebe drama
December 2nd, 2016 at 7:26 am
Episode 1 – Saw first 20 mins, and quit. The lead woman doesn’t fit the character. She’s more like a big sister. I get the writer’s own view of women and men in this drama. A woman CEO with man for secretary, a love sick weak boy after spoiled girl who knows nothing about being a woman or about life. Which is it? Strong or clueless women? Weak men aren’t appealing in real life or in dramas. The first lead woman trying to pull off being a cold biz man isn’t convincing. Do like the 2nd lead woman character in red dress, she can act rich or poor or confidant or vulnerable. Confidence can’t be masked by a dress, title, wealth or position. And why are there Caucasians? It’s so obvious they’re plugged in for what, globalism? Caucasians always seem to appear in the episode 1, and disappear for good. So fake. So boring. So weak.
December 2nd, 2016 at 4:52 pm
Even though I think this kind of drama of business world, where most of CEOs and Presidents of different companies fight with each other or become partners for mutual gains is actually typical and cliche, but I still feel like continue watching this drama because it’s been awhile since the last time I watched melodrama with business genre.
December 2nd, 2016 at 6:01 pm
The two actresses are great. However, apart from their actings, till now I don’t really understand what are they trying to do?? The story is vague.
December 3rd, 2016 at 3:02 am
Love the cast the story line and everything and it become more and more interesent can’t wait to watch ep 5
December 3rd, 2016 at 3:04 am
I watch ep 1.2.3 and 4 in one day it is an interesent drama not like the Typical korean drama. Highly recommended
December 3rd, 2016 at 6:09 am
cool dramafire have ep 1&2 ing eng and i even watch it raww and till superbe
December 4th, 2016 at 4:14 am
highly recommended, excellent cast and drama
December 4th, 2016 at 3:58 pm
I have been watching from episode 1 to episode 4 and fully understand that the power of money that strikes Lee Se Jin into going to be highly ambitious.
I do understand that is a melodrama and the romance between Park Gun Woo and Seo Yi Kyung will no longer can be fruitful as Park Gun Woo his heart was broken due to the hurt done by Seo Yi Kyung .
Will Park Gun Woo falls in love with Lee Se Jin ? Lee Se Jin has a kind hearted nature and it will be sweet if, Lee Se Jin can win the love heart of Park Gun Woo ?
Am curious about Lee Se Jin’s romance and I will continue to watch every episode of this drama.
December 6th, 2016 at 10:29 am
It is a drama that make you curious in every ep.highly recommanded
December 7th, 2016 at 11:09 am
Dear subbers, please do sub this drama quickly. I’m still at ep 2 because there’s no eng subs for ep 3, 4, 5 & 6. I really want to watch this drama. Give us, the international viewers some love…

Yup I already watched ep 1&2 at DF. I’ve tried to search everywhere for ep 3,4,5&6 and there’s no wesbite that has the eng sub for the rest of eps. I know most of international fans also leaved comments on the drama websites about eng sub, but no one replied.
December 8th, 2016 at 3:07 pm

December 23rd, 2016 at 1:47 am
love the drama , the story line something different from the usual korean drama
December 24th, 2016 at 5:35 am
having a bad rating doesn’t mean a bad drama, thid drama is so cool
December 24th, 2016 at 10:47 am
Bad Ratings = BAD DRAMA &/OR BAD ACTING, LIKELY BOTH. Why do drama executive producers and writers stress over low TV ratings & celebrate high ratings? Bad ratings => Low number of viewers => Profit/Loss + Bad Reputation for Actors. Survival of the Fittest => Fierce Competition. Good drama story is a must to succeed, even if acting is poor. But bad story + bad acting = Low Ratings => Death.
December 26th, 2016 at 5:21 am
there are lot of great drama with law rating, so for me bad rating it is not a mesure. and this drama is great and the cast are doing great job
December 29th, 2016 at 11:38 pm
This drama is great but not the best maybe bcoz it airing at the wrong time, wrong slot
December 29th, 2016 at 11:42 pm
I mean maybe it a lil bit hard to beat romantic doctor teacher kim atvthe same slot… ^^
January 1st, 2017 at 5:05 am
it is a dreat drama and have different story from the casual korean drama,it is so famous in china 12,000 million watch it in live ,but in korea it is different also,this drama start when romantic doctor is already have 4 episodes and already have good rating that is why it affect it here,but low rating doesn’t mean bad drama,for me it is cool and something new
January 1st, 2017 at 6:49 pm
I hope Seo Yi Kyung and Lee Se Jin will be together. I ship Yi Kyung x Se Jin.
January 9th, 2017 at 7:22 am
With Romantic Dr and Hwarang, this drama is kinda hard to survive. But I do enjoy watching this drama too
January 17th, 2017 at 3:55 pm
What is good about this drama is the story is different than the usual themes that most of the dramas have. It is great when the writers come up with not the norm of most of the dramas.
January 25th, 2017 at 5:00 am
Watching this drama is like I’m watching my real serious bosses and colleagues at work. I noticed Lee Yo Won always acted in this type of rivals and business genres. Used to love watching her when she was young, always smile sweetly but lately, in “Queen Seon Duk, Empire Gold and Night Light”, her expressions is always the same. Seriously anger and no smile at all, just like my tiger boss. She started to look old sister in this drama including Uee. I think Uee doing some plastic surgeries over her face. She used to have plump and swollen cheeks but now, her face looks totally small and V-shape. Why don’t she operate her eyes? Her big gold fish eyes isn’t flexible and always staring. That’s not good for an actress, such expressions is good for horror movies, shocking and startled characters.
February 4th, 2017 at 12:52 pm
i love this drama because i love the cast Lee you won is really great.. same with the other casts… This is really worth watching..
February 8th, 2017 at 5:47 pm
Lee Yo Won and Uee are soooo thin – like a pencil. Geez… Why do they want to be soo thin?? Thin is ok, but why do they want to look anorexic?
February 22nd, 2017 at 1:32 am
This drama is currently on USA Netflix under the name ‘White Nights’.
February 28th, 2017 at 2:10 pm
Holy crap this drama was incredible. I mean the business part made me a little confused and bored sometimes, but I really love the strong female characters (and gay undertone).
I’ve made a fan blog recapping the series, if anyone is interested in seeing someone else fangirl about the drama. It’s on tumblr, and linked in my name, so just click it if you’re interested in also fangirling.
Please for the love of god, where are the fans of this drama T_T.
March 2nd, 2017 at 7:00 am
To be honest! waste of time!! really ! don’t watch it ! I’m glad some people liked it but it was boring to an extend that even skipping through episodes didn’t make it watchable!
March 3rd, 2017 at 5:05 pm
For me I do not enjoy this drama, am never looking forward to next episode and only watch till Episode 4. It is kind of boring and perhaps I do not favor the main actress and also Uee to me not a good actress. Never favor Lee Yo won too, therefore I do not intend to watch the rest of the episodes. It is unlike Hwarang …you look forward to next episode, I never look forward for this one
March 16th, 2017 at 10:01 am
Really enjoyed this series and watched it on Netflix (Season 1). I’m new to KDrama and was impressed with the strong female characters and the simple pace and staging of the scenes. To me its a chess match with Yi Kyung the Master and Se Jin the student and I’m captivated by how they play off each other. They complement each other and their scenes together are the reason why i continued to watch this series. The clothes, cars and sets are first rate. Top notch drama and I hope season II starts soon on Netflix.
March 21st, 2017 at 3:57 pm
Jung Hae-In (Tak) is soo good looking. I liked him in Blood also. I haven’t seen him in other dramas.
March 28th, 2017 at 4:11 pm
Does anyone know how the show ended in Ep 20?????
The Eng subs started off OK, but then they went haywire. Did Gun Woo and Yi-Kyung give everything up??? Or what????
Geez…….after watching this for 19 episodes, and then to have the Eng subs all screwed up is disgusting.
September 26th, 2017 at 8:59 pm
do you have night light season 2 ?
February 16th, 2018 at 4:29 am
Ok on Netflix is named White Night this Drama is interesting but it needs more humanity like sex. Not too much but even Emely Thorn got laid ones in a while, even for the ladies 20ep of Tak in a suite dude looks like fight club. Try to increase skin by 5%
