Genre: Romance, Comedy

Plot Summary:
The military-trained and stoic Yong-ju works for a beer company that needs to get the overly empathetic brewmaster Min-ju to work for them. With her extroverted personality and his introverted personality the task would seem impossible.

Characters & Cast:
Main Characters: Ships.
Lee Jong Woon ⇒ Yun Min Ju
Kim Se Jeong ⇒ Chae Yong Ju
Shin Do Hyun ⇒ Bang A Ruem
Baek Sung Chul ⇒ O Chan Hwi
Villains: Notable actors.
It’s Kim Joong-Hee. You knew it, I knew it. As soon as this guy walked on screen, we all knew he was the bad guy.
Special Mentions
Jang Won-Young and Seo I-Yeon were such a delightful couple
Best of OST:
I can’t remember but I swear this was on another Kdrama OST that I’ve seen. Either way, I’ve had this song on my playlist for a long time, and Kim Sejeong’s version of this song is haunting and beautiful and… just *chef’s kiss*

And it’s almost impossible to go wrong with a Melomance track on your OST…

I don’t know who’s in charge of the OST’s for Kim Sejeong, but they need a raise.

Gripes:
If I’m being completely honest, I don’t disagree with the villain’s take that the product line was unviable. Also… I don’t know how successful her business at the end would be either…
Re-watch:
**Would I watch it again?**
Yeah. After a while I’d give it another spin. It had some really touching moments, but was also a light and fluffy rom-com.
**Would I watch it with my brother?**
There’s just no way this is his cup of tea.
**Would I watch it with my kid?**
Yeah, the romance is tame enough and I also like introducing different career paths to her.
Final Thoughts:
This drama had little to no fat to trim. The fact that it was a tight 12 episodes served it well. Towards the end you get a little bit of whiplash going from sad to cutesy a bit to quick. But overall this light and fluffy rom-com is worth the watch for sure. Great OST too.
