Sweet but a little bland
This show had some sweet moments to it, but ultimately it felt to me like there wasn't much of a point. There really wasn't much character development besides them falling in love. Even the female lead went from being a NEET (completely unconvincingly by the way, she had no problems going outside except getting lost once) to full-on house wife in a few minutes, which in my eyes is a lateral move, not really progress. And it happened way to fast to feel like it meant something. The rest of the show is just random obstacles or one of the characters starting to have emotions and then everyone gets concerned until they talk about it and then the conflict is over.
By the way, this would all be forgivable if the main character had enough chemistry or charisma (the female lead almost does sometimes, but the male lead was the most nothing performance I've ever seen), but instead they do the jdrama thing of just being polite instead of in love. Like "Ah, excuse me, I'd like to cordially inform you that I love you." "Ah yes, I am most grateful and would agree that I too, am in love with you." Like, come on! Can you make, like a single, joke!? Tease each other? Something!?
Anyway. I'm being harsh, but it's not the worst show in the world. I did finish it, after all. But in my eyes it's not really a lock-in and get invested kind of show, more of a put it on in the background while you're working kind of show. If you're looking for that, sure I'll recommend.
