A lbit of “Good Morning Call” vibes in the cold way ML sometimes interacts with FL
8.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2015 South Korean romance drama with 16, ~60 minute episodes.
First I provide a unique synopsis then review. I provide a synopsis as many series do not have a descriptive enough synopsis to really tell you what it is about to help decide to watch or not. The review is labeled as such so you can scroll to that if not interested in synopsis.
Synopsis
Lee Jung-joo (Kang So ra) and Baek Gun-woo (Yoo Yeon seok) met when they were 19, on their shared birthday, when Jung joo erroneously thought Gun woo was her twin. This established a connection between the two who jokingly agreed that she would go on to be cool and he would go from the golden boy to straying from the path. If they met in the future there was a joke about them falling for each other. Things did not follow a glittery path for Jung joo and she finds herself back on Jeju aIsland, where they first met after losing her house, her boyfriend and her job. Baek Gun-woo is a chef at the restaurant he owns “Warm and Cozy” which is adjacent to the fallen down house Jung goo was straddled with. Fate continually throws the two together and the small spark that ignited all those years before develops into love.
Review
It is a typical romance of about a decade ago. In that era, the female lead character often puts up with a lot more coldness and indifference and still comes back for more. If you put it in that context, this is a cute and heart warming romance.

I comtinually had to remind myself of the era as she took a lot from him as he showed continual preference for a woman that treated him horribly. At one point he said he knew the woman he had bought the restaurant for was not a very nice person. He said he liked her because she told him his mom was nit bad in the way she was with men. I thought the girl he liked was a complete jerk and loved it when the female lead told her to quit lying and pushed her out of the room. She never grew as a character and was always just an awful, lying, scheming, good digging brat.
The male lead’s father taking the rap for the mother’s crime was sad. It was sad because the father and son never reunited.Which was pointless.
It ended well. With them together, i felt like the situation with the dad was not well wrapped up but it was a minor point.
