So incredibly sweet!!!
I loved love LOVED this show and it made it up there to my list of favorites. The chemistry with the leads was perfect - funny, sweet, sensual and mature. There were no love triangles, no useless angst that dragged on; the leads took intiative to communicate and speak openly with each other, and there were no breakups (although I am sure the writers had fun toying with the viewers at a couple places). They nailed the joyful scenes, smoked the sensual scenes, they cried beautifully during the happy scenes and very few sad scenes, and their cute flirty humor had me laughing out loud and giggling in several places.
If you’re looking for a show with angst, this is NOT one I would recommend. This show is like 85% fun, 15% angst. Don’t be fooled by the first few episodes that hint of a darker understory - it’s not the focus of the show and very little screen time in the last half is dedicated to developing it. Some may criticize this, but I didn’t mind it at all. I was much to engrossed in the romance to care.
Not only were the leads fabulous, but I loved the side characters and the secondary relationships as well. The leads literally had chemistry with every other character they came into contact with. The FL’s grandmother was such a fun side character, and I immensely enjoyed all of her sassy scenes with the ML. There was not a side character, besides the villain(s) (and I use that term loosely), that I did not like. The friendships and the familial relationships were far superior than those in similar shows, such as “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim”. I enjoyed them all. I loved watching the ML develop friendships, especially with the FL’s girl friends and her grandmother.
The OST was also wonderful and light, adding extra joy to the delightful scenes of the leads. This is a great show for those needing a break from intensity, or for those just wanting to watch a simple romance with the good guys overcoming the obstacles in their path through open communication, unwavering commitment to each other and making sure to prioritize just having fun with each other. 10/10 this is one I will be coming back to.
