This show deserves to be in the top 10
This show is everything I hoped it would be after reading the webtoon.The casting is absolutely spot-on. The main female lead needed someone who was dynamic and fun, someone who wouldn't take themselves too seriously and could experiment and play with the expressions and mannerisms of the character.
The main male lead needed someone who could be frightening yet meek and vulnerable at the same time.
Whoever cast this show knew what they were doing and what the script needed to bring the main unique characteristics out of the characters.
I tend to be picky with the small details of production quality and if this isn't done well it hinders the overall viewing experience. I haven't found a fault in this category so far - each character had a phone model/phone case design that stayed consistent, they each have a look/style that doesn't suddenly change halfway through, the sound quality was better than most and definitely done by experienced staff, and the set designs were believable and fit each scene and character.
I loved the hints of the webtoon origin through fun, entertaining sound effects and visual additions. The sponsored products were added in without contrasting with the personality of the characters using it, although not completely smoothly hidden throughout so that it goes unnoticed as a sponsored product (which is generally difficult to accomplish).
Overall, every new episode is the highlight of my week and I cant wait to see the rest!

K Drama worth watching!
Hey drama lovers out there!The last couple years there have only been a few Korean dramas that I have enjoyed watching.
Don't know if the problem lies with me or if Korean Drama land just lost some of its appeal (to me at least)...
This is not an actual review...just my feels towards this drama.
I'm an Hyeri Fan...I just love her...so I was really looking forward to this, even though I hadn't read the webtoon.
It's just my kind of drama...I went in ..no expectations.
SO YEAH...
I was totally blown away from ep 1...and it just kept getting better...every character...their growth, the plot, the backdrop, everything was so good...it really was a pleasure watching this... all the Cameos... had me in stitches...
I HOPE everyone enjoys this as much as I did!
Take care and happy drama watching!
XOXO

one of the best romcoms i've seen
The chemistry was out of this world good. The storyline wasn't messy at all and it was SO enjoyable. I really liked the characters the actors played and how well they did it. Romance was romancing and it was burning. I'm so glad I finally decided to watch it although 5 years have passed since it first aired. THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO WATCH IT!!!!Was this review helpful to you?
Please give us a sequel!!
I just finished the last episode 10 minutes ago and I'm so happy with the ending. After the emotional rollercoaster the past two episodes took me on, the finale did not disappoint!One thing though–I'm obsessed with the side couples. Badly. So badly that I NEED a sequel where we get some more character development for them. I'm specifically talking about one side couple that was introduced in the last episode (I dare not spoil) but I BET I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE FEELING THIS WAY.
Anyway, if you're on the fence about watching this and you love jang ki yong and hyeri as much as I do... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? Watch it! I did and I have no regrets.

Solid, Cute KDrama
So now that I've seen Doom At Your Service I realize that show reminds me of this show in that they both have a fantasy element, an innocent girl who gets wrapped up with said fantasy element and that both men are very cold and stoic... until they're not.The only difference for me is that by episode seven of Doom I desperately wanted to quit watching as I felt no chemistry between them despite my love for the actress. And there wasn't enough charisma or charm coming from the male lead alone to really keep my interest.
I'm not sure I'd re-watch this, but it was a solid little love story for me.

What a great show
I'm glad I took the time to watch this. It's a great show. The acting was great, the story was good and very interesting. A lot of different twists and turns but it kept me interested from start to finish. there was also some really cute and funny moments in the show. I'm glad that there was a happy ending to the show. Most shows don't or maybe it's just the ones I watch lol. But that's all I will give away because I do believe it's worth watching. I can understand why this show has a 8.3 MDL rating.Was this review helpful to you?
LOVED IT...
definitely worth watching . the chemistry that was between the actors is just so mind=blowing . the story is not new , we already saw dramas with such plots but this one here is special in its own way . one thing i would say that wasn't my cup of tea is the last ep , half the episode dam spent it crying , the last ep felt rushed to me but overall i highly recommend this lovely drama . i was hooked from the first ep till the last . since i'm a college student myself , i do not mind finding a gumiho of my own lolWas this review helpful to you?
Romcom > Fantasy
This drama was a funny and laid-back one that you can watch with a light heart and without stress just as Kang Han-Na said in their interview.This is adapted from a webtoon with the same title. And with regards to that, I have nothing to say as I haven't read the webtoon yet.
I can assure you that the actors' chemistry was over the roof! Your heart will burst from their fluttering interactions. Even off-cam and on interviews their chemistry is tremendous. I expected that some scenes will be very cliche as this is a romcom but I was surprised the scenes were creative, well-made, and very high in quality.
I was also surprised by our female lead's attitude as she is very straightforward. Her fashion style was also lovely!
The OSTs were great and remarkable that every time you hear that song it will be nostalgic after watching the drama. They also played a BGM which was very cutesy and nice that made the scene more heartwarming.
I only got dissatisfied with one thing; there were problems left hanging but then I understand as those were not very crucial. But over that, I enjoyed the drama a lot and it made me very ecstatic.

A romcom at its finest
I LOVED this show. Lee Hye -ri is an AMAZING actress. For her to stay in character and not break it to laugh at herself is a true feat. Some of the stuff and expressions she did had me rolling. She is a very versatile actress too. Can be hilarious when she needs to be but serious too.And let’s talk about Jang Ki-yong. He is dreamy with a smile that melts you to your core. Really, if he was in a show and all he did was smile I would still watch it.
This romcom was done right.

Entertaining
It was a nice drama with lots of comedy, I would recommend it if you are looking for a light story.At first I was really hooked with the characters and the main couple, but I slowly started to lose interest in them. To be honest the ML had a kind of bland personality while the FL was great, she was lively, fun and determined. Their love story wouldn´t have worked if not for all her effort.
The story was predictable but overall entertaining.
The best thing for me were the side characters, the friendship between them was hilarious to watch.

I WANT MORE!!
I loved this drama so much! It isnt perfect and some things were iritating, but the good thing about it far outweight the bad. I mainly loved the romance which is really sweet and intimate and the main leads have great chemistry.
So I 100% recommend this kdrama!

...Now What Do I Do?
It's the type of kdrama u would wanna lose ur memory just to watch all over again...finished this kdrama in only TWO DAYS. I literally binged it nonstop, and now I’m sitting here like, “Where has this been all my life?!” It’s my first time watching a fantasy supernatural drama, and honestly, it totally gave me Kamisama Kiss vibes, and I MISS it so much I could cry.
The heroine? Hilariously adorable but not cringe at all like, she’s the kind of funny that makes u laugh till ur stomach hurts but doesn’t make u want to hide in a closet. Embarrassing moments? Yea, they happen, but it’s that kind of cringe u can laugh at, not the “I want to crawl under a rock and hide forever” kind from secondhand embarrassments smh. And the male lead? A man☕...SO funny in his own way, super attractive, and honestly, kinda different from ur typical “I’m-too-perfect” hero. Their chemistry? ON FIRE—like, I was giggling so hard I almost snorted my drink out my nose. I was hugging my pillow, giggling like a crazy person, and just totally relaxed the whole time, but ngl I was sweating just watching them.
There’s drama, but it’s the kind that makes u go “aww” instead of “kill me now.” And the misunderstandings? THANK GOD they weren’t those annoying, exaggerated, scream-into-the-void type. Nope, they’re all light, breezy, and solved in the most realistic, non-drama-queen way possible. Honestly, it’s a miracle—who knew that avoiding the usual cringe-worthy tropes would feel so refreshing?...like no “Did u see the way he looked at her?! THE BETRAYAL!” or “I won’t talk to u for five years” drama lol—thank you, universe! The humor hits just right; I found myself laughing out loud most of the time lol.
And the ending? PERFECTION. 16 episodes—just enough to make u sad it’s over but not enough to make u wish for more. Yeah, I’m THAT person who’s already considering rewatching it because I miss it so bad.
And if I had to pick a favorite thing? It’s definitely how they handled everything—no silly plot twists just for the drama’s sake... gave me Kamisama Kiss vibes... I swear, I’m gonna rewatch it just to relive all the cuteness.
