Park Seo-joon is honestly unbeatable as a romantic rom-com male lead. Once again, he did not disappoint. I loved how his character was fully devoted, emotionally mature, and completely non-toxic. Watching him as a regular, innocent guy who genuinely earned his position felt refreshing and realistic. And his banter with the team? Pure gold — easily one of the most enjoyable parts of the drama.

Won Ji-an’s character, on the other hand, was egocentric but somehow still cute. Her blunt honesty made her feel real, even when she was annoying at times — which actually worked well for the story.

But I really didn’t understand the breakup. When he found out about the article involving his father, the decision to break up just felt forced and illogical. They weren’t even celebrities constantly chased by tabloids, so the drama around that situation felt exaggerated. Honestly, it felt like the writers just needed a reason to stretch the plot instead of wrapping things up earlier.

I was also expecting a much more satisfying revenge arc against Kang Min-u. It was so rushed — barely three minutes — and he felt like a villain without a real backstory or convincing motive. Such a wasted opportunity.

And don’t even get me started on the mother’s affair and the illegitimate child plotline… that twist was completely unnecessary. It added shock value but not depth.

Overall, I still enjoyed the drama a lot thanks to the characters and chemistry, but the writing definitely felt rushed and messy in key moments. It could have been so much better with a bit more coherence and courage in the storytelling.
