Story:-
Story is well crafted and well paced, their is no dull moment or unbearable moment in story. Story is all about how hate transforms to affection and then to love.
Characters:- Characters are lovable with good logic behing their actions and acting done by cast was great.
Music:- No standout music tracks but its not bad either, it is background music and it serves its purpose.
Overall a lightweight romance show filled with lovable moments and has great logic and hold together itself well. Recomended for beginners, still veterans can enjoy it as a break.

One of my favorite parts of this drama is that the female lead is a strong character. She stands up for herself and for others and doesn't back down in front of the male lead. Plus both the leads grow and change throughout the story and I appreciate that it's not just one of them. He changes the most, but she does a bit as well.
If you want to watch a fun drama with excellent acting and a story that contains several twists, but will leave you with a smile on your face, this might be just the one you want to watch.

Just a romcom <3
This is a rather old drama and I ended up watching this probably because i have watched all recent romcoms that seemed interesting. For this reason alone, i wasn't expecting it to be interesting as such.Some might say that this plot is rather common, so much so that it might as well be a cliche. But it was well written, even if it was predictable. I know this line of work depends on creativity but there is so much more to it, and new ideas don't come popping for every new drama so I usually just look for the enjoy-ability of the shows rather than trying to nitpick on originality. It was well put together. It was adorable, fluffy and something you can watch during a break- just like some of us like to re-watch old shows even though we know the whole plot.
All characters were enjoyable and no-one too "evil". I particularly dote on characters because they ARE the plot, more so than the contextual story. All characters seemed very sensible and relatable. None of them were just up in the air, they made it make sense and they made it seem like a short vacation trip. I like sensible and sweet characters, all in their own.
All characters have proper personalities, values and people they care about. None of them seem like fill-in or unrealistic pushovers.
The relationships all have their conflicts and then reasonable resolution within appropriate amount of time and with sense.
None of them are portrayed as anywhere near perfect or other-worldly kind-nice-angelic, all of them have their self-esteem and respect themselves.
Romcoms- kissing. Kiss scenes! A bunch of them! This is what I what i live for.
The acting was pretty good for most actors, I found some of them slipping a few times but honestly I'm not here to evaluate their work and rank their performances- it wasn't such that it would really bug you, the slips were okay and easily overlook-able.
Overall, I'd say that the drama isn't intriguing or with suspense but it is just what i look for in my "i need more romcoms I NEED FLUFF". It isn't cringe in the least, at least for me- probably because cringe and adorable often overlap for me. I gave it 9.5 because it serves what it promised- romance and comedy

filled to the brim with old kdrama vibes
if you need a kdrama to decompress and to be in the most delulu mindset this is perfect for you. please do not let the budget stop you from watching.lee jaein and kim dahyun sure do have questionable aspects to their relationship due to their possessiveness but all i can say is this is no surprise for kdrama writers in the 2010s. the leads were funny, loveable and had amazing chemistry with each other - the story was super fun to boot.
this kdrama will definitely be living in the recesses of my mind for years to come.

What a lovely, straight forward romance!
This was a hidden gem, and something I picked up only because I was looking for contract romances. The love story was so cute, feel-good and one of the best I have ever seen in kdramas! And it's such a natural portrayal of relationships with lots of cuddles, kisses and hugs, and doesn't drag or slow down in any way. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend for romance kdrama fans!The acting is great too - am surprised the ML and FL haven't been cast in many hit dramas since this one, I would love to see them in romance dramas again. The ML is just so cute, you can't take any offense even when he's rude in the beginning.

The epitome of a toxic relationship.
I thought by 2016, kdramaland would have evolved from the Boys over flowers’ abusive behaviour depictions. Here, we have a clearly toxic and controlling ML that could be potentially even dangerous. (Fast forward in your mind how a controlling bf turns into an abusive husband.)It is unfathomable to me how this thing was written and accepted as a scenario of a rom com (and how so many people gave it such good reviews).
Young watchers beware. What is passed as tsundere but overly smitten ML is actually a character fraught with abusive actions towards the FL. Needless to say, actions which no woman should accept or even face. We are not talking about a consensual S/M relationship. We are not talking about fiction vs reality but about a very bad example of what falling in love is or is supposed to be and what is deemed as “passionate” or “cute and loving” behaviour.
E.g. Several grabbing, dragging and pushing moments where the FL looks actually scared and/or uncomfortable, controlling what one wears, not allowing FL to have other male friends, disregarding FL’s needs/emotions, the list can go on for ever.
Do not get me wrong, I do enjoy the occasional kabedon (and its variations) when it actually is an expression of passion and NOT dominance. This is not about that. This is not raw passion or love but rather, disrespect, apathy, manipulation and abuse.
Have I deterred you enough? I have more!
Subpar acting paired with mid 2000s fashion and restaurant scene choices. (No korean food restaurants whatsoever for some reason.)
I honestly cannot see how this thing even managed to air without an audience outcry.
1/10

1% of something
i actually have so much to write but i don't wanna give spoilers so...DONT LISTEN TO PPL SAYING ITS NOT GOOD BEFORE TRYING cuz trust me just watch it first you'll realise what are you missing 😭
usually it's nothing new for the plot but trust me the charactes are soo interesting actors did so well potraying them the couple was sooo cute their chemistry was on TOP their scenes were so heart fluttery even when they were just bickering or being jealous and not to forget it has some good & HOT KISSES which was so smooth.
I have so many fav moments from this drama I'm sad because it ended like I'm literally at the verge of crying because it's OVER NOW😔 which I don't want to I'm sooo happy unlike other dramas they skip the wedding scene and went straight into showing how they looked after living as husband and wife ❤️
usually I get irritated by fl playing so hard to get but here both the actors were so perfect it didn't even felt like a drama it felt more natural I wish it had another season or longer episodes
but I'll MISS them 🥺
it's very hard for me to watch dramas again after watching them once already cuz I feel i already know what's going to happen so instead when I miss a drama i just watch their edits ; I know I'm very late it's been 10 years since this drama came i usually don't write long reviews but for this one I had too
to my
"CLOSE YOUR EYES & I WILL KISS YOU" couple goodbye!⭐

Hidden Gem
This is truly a gem! I've never cried because of too much happiness until this. I was seriously rooting for the main leads.This drama deserve so much appreciation and recognition.
If you are into romance with skin ships and kisses once in a while, then you will love this. Your heart will melt and burst with so much love for this mature relationship.
If you're also into CEO with possessive and childish personality but could love selflessly as well, then THIS IS FOR YOU!
(You will also wish you're the female lead.)
The ML & FL Chemistry was on fire and literally you will never know how much time has passed while watching this. It will keep you wanting for more. I basically finished this in a day.
PS. Why did they stop doing k-drama like this? #

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this
I agree with the many other people who say there isn't much about this drama which separates it from the rest. That doesn't mean it's bad though.I really enjoyed this drama. The ML and FL played their roles brilliantly as well as the supporting cast. Seeing the ML evolve throughout the series was probably my favorite bit. The romance didn't seem over the top, and the series came to a very satisfying end.
Overall I would recommend this to anyone who is in between dramas and looking for something light hearted and fun to watch.
