Hilarious
So I am relatively new to the kdrama scene but I am aware of Clichés in romance and got the idea of this tv show playing into them.The first episode was hialrious, and to be honest there were a lot of comical scenes later on as well. The main actress is very fun and the male lead is protrayed to be just as she percieves him too, an individual full of entitlement.
I do think there are points in which the show lacks, there were some unresolved plot points that would have been nice to see but if you are looking for a laugh and maybe some second hand embarrassment this show is great.

It was okay
I like dramas with haters to lovers kinda vibes and this one was a lot of fun and silly. The dynamic between the lead characters was fun and silly. The cast and side characters were a lot of fun but some of the sub plots were weird to follow. The ending was okay.What I liked:
-The comical scenes and tae sung being a puppy bf.
-the cast
- the cute couples!
-highlighting mental health issues celebs can face
-Yuna and Dye hae , I just thought these two were funny.
What I didnt like:
- The depiction if Africa
- The ending felt a bit abrupt I eel like they could have taken one of the dramatic subplots and replaced it with the fallout of a famous actor announcing he has a gf. I know there is foreshadowing but would have been nice to see how they deal with it.
- The housekeeper plot felt unresolved.

Boring
Honestly, when i started watching this I wasn't expecting anything great but having watched reverse harem anime, like ouran highschool host club, I expected more.The FL is childish, entitled, and annoying. In the first episode I thought she was that way to fend of weirdos that approached her or her family members but then as the show went on I realised she was just annoying. She is endearing at some pounts, like helping out people she knows and helping her family but for the most part she is unlikable. Some people stated they didn't understand why she would continue lying, its because she needs the job to survive and as time goes on you do get caught up in it. The idea wasn't bad, just the execution.
Theres the side plot with the mum and the butcher which was boring, I skipped it.
Then there is the ML, 2nd ML, and 2nd FL and the weird love quad between these characters and Eun chan. It is a realistic situation, humans are complex like that. However, it was so frustrating to watch.
Mainly because the 2nd FL was so boring and unlikable. She is written as someone who can't settle down, and I get it, the idea of settling down as a woman is scary and I think this is where they wanted to go with this. However, it wasn't communicated well and she came off as a manipulative user, dating DK to help her progress in her career and then still leading Han guel on while causing the other guy insecurity. Though I do think it is also protraying how relationships between men and women as friends or lovers can be complicated. That said, the scenes were not enjoyable. The plot was executed badly. The only scene i really liked was when she gave Han Guel a brithday gift, that was wholesome and shows their bond and friendship. I understand why this plot line was included but it was just not fun to watch.
Then there is the toxic behaviour demonstrated by countless characters. Maybe it's the time it was made? Like some of it was stalker behaviour and then the women being weird and manipulative, looking at angel and yoo joo.
I was going to try and finish it with the hopes it got better but each episode is 1 hour long. Additionally, it didn't pass the 3 episode test, yet I still gave it a chance and even then I found myself sitting there wondering: "Why am I watching this?". I am happy some people enjoyed it but it was just not a good watch for me.
