Didn't click
When I saw that this was a friends-to-lovers story, I jumped into it right away. But it turned out that it wasn't the plot I typically enjoy, where we get to watch two people realize they're in love with each other and slowly make their way to each other. Instead, the leads pretty much get together in the first episode, and the drama revolves more around little bumps in their relationship, some of which are awkwardly realistic like figuring out how to communicate after living together, and some of which are more trope-y like third parties trying to get in between their relationship. The last episode is also pretty rushed.Ultimately, this was pretty light-hearted and low stakes, but it didn't really click with me.

Decent drama but you have seen it all before
When we talk about trends we normally talk about observations over a span of time. Hence, we must be in the Year of the BFF to Lover trope. So far this year we have Love Next Door, You Are My Lover Friends and now this. That's a K/C/J-drama trifecta and we are not even halfway through the year.So, does this show wins the race? No, I'm afraid not. LND is still #1. YAMLF is just a nose ahead but for different reasons. What this show has on its side is a shorter run and tighter focus. A simple telling of a slice-of-life drama. They pretty much launches straight into the A-plot and we watched the OTP's relationship develop over time with all its ups and downs. There are nice swoonworthy moments, decent amount of skinship and they are not overly prudish. Everything we wanted to see are there.
Obviously, it can't be all rainbows and unicorns. They must deal with cohabitation issues as well as misunderstandings and the usual work/life challenges. In terms of acting, the ML is totally in love and he radiates that in every scene. On the other hand, the FL is less readable in the beginning, so typical of this genre. Support cast is solid if uninspired.
Is it watchable? Sure. The plot is decent and the delivery is competent. There are no huge shocks nor genre bending moments. It is a solid retelling of the old chestnut. Your mileage will differ depending on your expectations. Peace.
