Rom-Com at it's finest!
I don't understand why this drama had so much hate! I really enjoyed it! Sure it was rough around the edges and a bit over the top at times but you are told its a rom-com but its so much more than just that!The story was decent, a little hard to follow at times as there are that many "couples" in this drama. Each couple had their own problems as usual with these types of dramas but the contrast with all the storylines keeps it interesting. It was not purely focused on romance either, there was just friendships and even LGBT+ elements in this too which I enjoyed the variety. Not all couples had a happy ending you would have hoped but that makes it all the more realistic as not everyone gets the happiness they deserve. Sure this drama can be pretty cheesy at times but it's a comedy, it keeps it lighthearted but does get serious when it needs to be.
I really enjoyed the cast, especially the fact that they included quite a few "newbies" into acting at the time, and I could not tell at all with them mixed in with the veterans they were that good.
I noticed a couple of songs I recognised but I do not watch dramas for their music.
I would recommend this to anyone who does not mind a cheesy rom-com that keeps everything lighthearted and wants to be entertained! ^^

What didn't work for me was that, towards the ending, it felt like the action was happening behind the scenes and you get to only watch the results of it. And the last episode was not as good as the rest of them.
But, other than that, the comedy part was very good. The drama was funny, fresh and adorable overall. The leading lady was a delight, as always, and she adaoted to her role beautifully. The side characters and their stories were really entertaining and made the drama even more enjoyable, as the main story was low paced.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

It had its flaws, but I loved it all the same (very minor spoilers)
Overall an enjoyable watch with real characters with real flaws, as the title says.The crude humor can be a bit much at times but at a certain point in the drama they dispense with resorting to it. The rest of the time I was laughing or smiling hysterically. The jokes usually hit well, and I loved the "All by myself!" bit. In particular when any of the brothers were involved it was a good time. They played off of each other and the sister incredibly well.
I commend the actors for doing such a good job.
The FL was a bit hard to love at first. She was a fun character but was dense for quite a bit of the runtime. She kept assuming things and then getting pissed at people when she found out things weren't like she thought. It got annoying when all she had to do was ask/talk to people. However, she did have her own moral compass that she abided by (such as being protective of anyone who was Gay by making sure to not reveal their sexuality) and I grew to root for her in the end.
The ML himself was fun to watch. If you don't like childish ML's you won't enjoy him though. The SML on the other hand was incredibly difficult to root for in the slightest once his character was revealed. Yes, he did redeem himself later but I really don't like how they made him into a villain for so long. It just didn't work for me.
I must admit that the brothers stole the show often. They were all just the right amount of silly, arrogant, and/or sincere.
Finally, I would be remiss to not bring up the fantastic job this drama did at normalizing LGBT+ people. I really appreciated and liked how they had one of the brothers being Gay and working at a Gay bar be just another part of the story. It was the set for not just him but also just for his siblings and others to come by and tell their woes and other important parts of the plot to occur.
The Gay characters' stories were handled respectfully and not for the sake of laughs because of who they were but rather just the silly things they said/did. You know, like normal people. And not only that but they showed the different realities for them. Some have supportive parents but struggle because of their own self-hatred, others are completely comfortable with themselves but struggle because of their unsupportive parents and/or are worried about the judgement of everyone around them. Coming out was also treated with care and the idea of outing someone was judged by the characters as being horrible, as it should be.
This past year I got to witness a mainstream drama, Nevertheless, include a Lesbian Romance with one of their side couples and show how representation could be easily put into dramas and be well done if we were only so inclined and studios/companies took a chance. I'm happy to go back a couple years and find another drama, Love with Flaws, that in spite of being older managed to do (I would argue) an even better job.
For a good time, I will be coming back to this drama. And to cry, I will be coming back to this drama.

Unpleasant waste of time, why did I even give it a 5 !?
Female lead is abrasive & cluelessly unkind, then later suddenly turns into loud, pushy & thoughtful. The male lead was cast well, but he has a soft body type that was a joke when they present him as someone who eats carefully & works out alot ! His face has a mochi charm but his character was petty & needy. there was so much I did not like about this series: the girls being mean to the guys & being abusive, the intestinal issue plot device, the gay boy counter plot, the crude humor, the awkward unfunny attempts at having sex. So much of it caused me to cringe . Absolutely hated how they had the 2 male lead be an idiot over the female lead though he knew he did not have a chance .So many negatives that sucked the life & the enjoyment out that it's hard to even care about writing a coherent review ! The best acting was done by the female lead's older brothers, but thier plots were messed up tooWas this review helpful to you?
What a highly underrated healing drama …
Such a good surprise. The first 6 episodes may not give the best idea of what the drama is about: healing drama with a beautiful love story. Some situations are extremely funny, while at the beginning of the drama, other may go a bit too far in tackling the digestive issues of the ML when under stress,. Extreme stress can cause that, which may deter some viewers from going past that. Good thing, after ep. 6, there is no more of this ;) and it is really rewarding.This drama is Not a revenge drama. But truly a great healing drama with a lovely romance between the leads. Oh yeon seo and Ahn Jae Hyun make a perfectly believable couple, they have great chemistry, with outstanding comedic skills: a great watch, if you can go past ep. 6, which will leave you with a smile.

Funny funny show
I liked this show but it did take me a few months to finish it.I am not one to judge especially people and how they want to live their lives but I am not all for watching LGBT. But this show was tastefully done! It was really funny. I really did feel for the young gay guy and how people treated him and also his family. It has to be hard especially with people who do not want to understand and all they can do is torment others. Poor kid. And by the way I do have friends and family that is LGBT. I am not judging them I love them. I just wanted to point out that this show was really well done in that area and I felt for each of the guys.
As for the two main actors... their story was good and funny. They did a great job.
Would I rewatch... ummm YES! Especially if I need a good laugh! And the eye candy! And there is lots of it!🙃😉

The first few episodes were relatively interesting and had potential, but quickly fell when the drama started focusing too much on the rivalry between the 1st and 2nd male leads.
The female lead also had a bit of an annoying character and I lacked sympathy for her.
Overall this drama was disappointing and I would not recommend it.

A good story to watch. A one time watch drama.
I really enjoyed watch the drama. Mainly watch it for Ahn Jae Hyun but ended up liking the drama.nice story and a good plot.
The actors did a great job
I expected a bit more but never mind
Really liked the music.
The story was a bit slow paced.
The side characters and their stories were also interesting to watch.
Though the actors could have gotten a bit more screen time.
I like how the story gradually made progress.
The story had potential if it was written in a bit more interesting way.

why you should give this a try
i will just say its positives cause I think there is already so much rant.after watching love contract which many people said were good I thought this was better cause the ml in that was just emotionless and fl over the top.
here the fl is a average girl who has her own issues but deals with them as they come.the ml seems just like a side character honestly cause the spotlight was always on the girl and her family.the friendship combo was so soulful that I craved more for them.her friends loveline was something unnecessary but it gave much more fun to the drama so its okay.
the older brothers of the fl had beautiful arcs.the younger ones story could have been done better.the older one is shown as support of the family while the second oldest the lgbtq was shown mature and supported the main leads loveline a lot.cause he dies mid shooting I think they tweaked the story so much to adjust his supposed scenes that I personally think they messed the main leads story in the end with the push and pull.but seriously his character arc felt complete.the whole family relationship was so beautifully portrayed. the oldest brothers loveline was lovable. the runaway girl kinda linked the story but her character was not really necessary and kinda creeped me out but I thought they finished her story well.the psychiatrist was a bummer seriously and I just skipped through them all.
the second male lead going from kind to possessive and back again probably made me lose interest in his character so I don't have much to say about him.the ml mother line was fun.
although the acting and storyline sucks there is a lot of good elements in it that could pull you toward it so just give it a go cause its a lot better than so many shitty dramas out there.
note-ignore my music rating cause I had to just give it a rating to submit my review.i don't have much interest in music.

It was filled with a lot
This title was a lovely watch and I would re-watch it. It didn’t tend to sugarcoat things and act like everything was perfect when it wasn’t. Some parts are a bit cheesy but they (depending on the person) can either add or take away from the experience. Personally I think it had a good amount of humour and while also having a nice story line to make it interesting,The characters. You will feel for most of them. They all have a story and you want to know as much as you can. They were well written and made you fall in love with them constantly over and over again. The chemistry between some of the characters is undeniably great and definitely made the show as a whole enjoyable.
