good idea, bad execution
I enjoyed this drama, at least to be able to finish the 16 episodes. The story is cute and the romance was nice, and I appreciate the lack of unnecessary drama. However, the ML was boring, even annoying. The FL is okay, wish she had some hobbie besides her job though but she was much more gullible than the copy-paste cold narcissist CEO cliché.What I disliked was the backstory, something I rarely like in dramas. It was pointless and it didn't add anything to the romance, even sometimes it felt that they were interested in each other because of destiny and not for the personality and experiences together. You know what would've been ACTUALLY good? To focus the chemistry on what happened between them in 9 years to make them bottle up their feelings and let it out when she decides to leave the job. Flashbacks to special moments and tension between those 9 years would've been better than that unbelievable backstory...
The chemistry was... okay? Nothing mind-blowing. BUT I love the dramas that add a lot of kisses and those were good for real so the balance is okay.
The side stories with characters and couples were nice. I liked both side couples, even the one of his friend and his ex wife.
I recommend this drama to anyone who wants to relax and watch something that leaves a happy feeling, but if you want complex characters and story, this is not the one.

cute, no dumb misunderstandings, recommended for rom-com lovers
This rom-com was really good for what the genre has to offer. I liked that this drama started the romance soon and didn't make stup¡d, cliche struggles and unnecesary misunderstandings. It also had a lot of hugs and kisses, something that many lack. While I agree there wasn't a built chemistry, a lot of their moments were very tender.Idk how Korean society takes it but tbh I don't think what she did was wrong. She was left alone with debts, with her heart broken because of being cheated, and with no home to go.
The ex was an idiot ofc and he crossed the line, but at least his character being pathetic and going through missery, plus his moments with ML were funny. And loved the closure with the FL, much better than stories that antagonize until the end.
The drama about the uncle was fine, pretty catching by the moment and good that it was finished before last eps
While some stuff was pretty convenient (FL's sister being the villain's son babysitter, etc), most got closure without beating around the bush.
Only thing I disliked was the childhood storyline. I know it is meant to be the "destiny" trope or whatever but, when it showed how ML started treating FL better and falling in love because of it, I felt it diminished ML's feelings for FL. Like if she wasn't the one of his past, he wouldn't have taken interest in her.
OST pretty average but some songs were good.
For this cute drama, 12 episodes were great!

good for the cooking scenes but it is a bit slow
At the start I laughed a lot with their scenes, but after some episodes it stopped being funny at all. The slow pace and the ML made me drop it.The cooking plotline is attractive and made me want to try the recipes. However the ML was not to my liking. Most of the characters are annoying...
Since this drama is pretty recent, the scenery, the production, the costumes and make up are sublime.
Some of the side dramatic plotlines are interesting and well done. The time travel accuracy was okay
