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.

Oml this show
ML and FL are insufferable, and I was raging at the 2nd ML the whole time. The first few episodes are build on misunderstandings, which was very hard to watch the second time around, as I rewatched it recently. The dialoge is also pretty questionable at times. However, I loved the family dynamic the siblings have, and was more invested in the brothers' story lines than the main couple. Loved the lgbt representation in this, Cha in ha did amazing (rip), and I also liked that they focused on other characters which quite literally saved this show.Overall, I think it's worth watching even if it's sort of weird.

This might be my favorite K-drama ever
This might be an unpopular opinion, but this is truly one of the best romance shows out there. To be fair, it was also the first "real" K-drama I had ever seen ("real" meaning the whole 16 episodes of 1 or so hours). However, as of writing this review, I have seen quite a few romance dramas and I still believe that this is my favorite one. I saw a lot of reviews saying that they didn't like the show, which is a bummer. I do understand why people thought it was quite silly, but all the stupid jokes just added more charm to it, in my opinion.I enjoyed that there was more than just Seo-yeon's storyline. Before watching this I had only ever watched shorter dramas, so I feared it would be too much for me to handle. Luckily it wasn't, and I fell for each character's storyline. Everyone had great character depth and I got so invested in all of their stories. Watching as all the puzzle pieces fell together, felt so amazing. I have to admit that I probably fell more for the side characters' stories rather than the main couple but I enjoy the way things turned out. Watching each episode just had me wanting more.
A short note, I would recommend trying to watch the episodes on a platform that still has the original music from when it aired on TV. I'm not sure about other platforms, but I know Viki exchanged most music with copyright-free versions, which made it feel different in a worse way. But the original music was often hilarious and fit perfectly to the scenes (like when Seo-yeon was singing "All by Myself" while being sad in the bar).
I just loved everything about this show honestly. It just made me feel so cozy. I'm not even kidding, some of my best memories come from sitting at 3 AM and watching this on my laptop in my bed. Unless you hate silly comedies, I would recommend this show to anyone. It was so lovely and it made me so happy.

Side note:
Honestly, I was more of a fan of the other couples/characters instead of the main ones, and also I was rooting for the second love interest in this drama. Just because, in my opinion, he would have been better for her.
But overall, if you want to watch this drama, you can, but don't expect too much from it. It is not horrible, but if you are the type of person who wants a thorough story plot, more details into each character's life as it progresses, more drama then you should move on. Basically, this drama does not satisfy, at least for me, because I wanted more out of it.

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.

Supporting characters are always the best
Love the characters in this drama, they all have a unique story and personality.I personally am in love with Won Suk and Ho Dol's relationship. it's so cute and funny. I kept looking forward to their part of the story more than the main characters.
At the start, i was shipping Seo Yeon and Min Hyuk, as I personally thought they made a cute couple...but it's always a first love kind of relationship.
Kang Hee and Won Jae had an interesting relationship too. Loved Kang Hee, she really had a strong businesswoman vibe that all the girls often looked up to.
I'm not the biggest fan of Baek Jang Mi, but her character's story is something i find fascinating. At one point, i thought she was going to steal Seo Yeon's identity...
Overall, this is a great romcom to watch. definitely worth watching.

light and heavy
I do not understand why people trash this series, is it because of that garbage ex-wife of his and her pathetic fans?I am not going to weigh in on logic or sensibility of the story or characters cause everything about this series is just as absurd as any other Korean romantic comedy, if not waaay funnier and enjoyable than most.
If there is something that could have been done more, the balance between the main couple and the rest are way off, i wish they gave each couple deeper engagements towards the viewers.

CUTE AND FUNNY BUT ALSO SOME TEARS
The story itself was very cute and amusing. Just what one needs every once in a while with the state of the world today. The FL is cute but definetly gets the award for ugliest wardrobe ever in a kdrama. ML is adorable and funny. Hard to believe his own life was such a mess at that time. If you are into handsome there are a lot of them in this. Of course the death of In Ha shortly after this came out gave me a kick to the stomach every time he appeared. Wish Inhad never read his bio before watching this as I would have enjoyed it more.Was this review helpful to you?
Really cute drama
I loved the family element in this drama! Also how they managed to explore different sexuality seeing how Korea is a very conservative country. Both leads were cute! Definitely a lighthearted rom com to watch.However, i would say i watched this drama skipping many parts because the ending was there and i was more interested in the brother(s) lives than the FL. This would be better if it was a weekend drama, they could made this a longer series where they focus more on individual characters; however its just my opinion.

Why do people dislike this drama so much? :D
I sometimes have a hard time finishing dramas. I know, it was a decent one, that made me feel good when I can easily finish it. This drama was easy, nice, funny, and somewhat weird in the best way. I really enjoyed it. Of course, it is not the best drama out there but it made me feel happy for a while. So I would recommend it.I like the main lead's relationship with her brothers, and I even like the storylines of her brothers. I liked her friend and the second lead was kinda different. It may start with a weird storyline but I also love the chemistry between the main leads. It is not mindblowing or the best you have ever seen, it is just cute. And that is what goes for the whole drama.

Side characters carried this show.
This drama really has a good casting for the characters, all actors and actresses are lovely, charming, and funny. The OSTs are also refreshing to hear.The only problem is, both main characters (Joo Seo Yeon and Lee Kangwoo) are boring and doesn't have any chemistry with each other. They look bland in my opinion. Every time they pop on the screen I can't feel anything on their characters. Though both are really good actor and actress, they just don't fit. When it's already their scene I just fast forward to see and watch other characters. And they really give the most dull and uninteresting background story to the main characters which worsen their chemistry. And you can really see that the more entertaining and appealing stories are on the supporting/side characters. I think the best story here are Joo Won Suk's (Cha In Ha) and Baek Jang Mi's (Shin Do Hyun).
I believe 6.5/10 is enough for this drama. The story is funny, romantic , and entertaining to watch especially when the characters aside from the main are around and on the screen.
(Rest In Peace Cha In Ha)
