Domestically, the show is struggling with ratings, maintaining a 4% viewership for four consecutive weeks.
'Annoying Love' is a drama about a national actor who has lost his initial passion and an entertainment journalist obsessed with justice, featuring a battle of wits, fact-bombing, and breaking stereotypes. The delightful synergy of trusted actors like Lee Jung-jae, Lim Ji-yeon, Seo Ji-hye, and Kim Ji-hoon is earning positive responses.

In the latest episode, Lim Hyun-joon (played by Lee Jung-jae) surprised everyone at the press conference for 'Good Detective Kang Pil-gu Season 5' by confessing, "It's true that there's someone I like here." Although the confession was vague, his gaze directed solely at Wi Jung-shin (played by Lim Ji-yeon) heightened the viewers' excitement.
