Inner Beauty can make anyone beautiful

I really love this drama, I stumbled upon it after being disappointed once more by a wishy-washy cliche drama that left me feeling cynical. I was intrigued by the concept of Hikaru and how sure he seemed of himself. What I love about his drama is all the green flags. Judging someone by how they act not how they look, working hard and communicating.

Matsumoto-san, who played Hikaru, made this drama for him. Not only was he an amazing actor that made me feel female vs male Hikaru but his aura was topnotch, I was surprised to find out this was his first main role. I also really like that there was no nasty ex or evil side characters. Everyone communicated and was mature.

I found myself laughing, crying and squealing through different scenes. I binge watched all 10 episodes in 1 day, between work. It made me feel like I was also growing as a person, watching ML and FL character development.

On rewatch value, I'll be re-watching it for that feel-good warm fuzzy feeling it left me with and because it taught me that my Prince Charming or Cinderella doesn't need to look a specific way. Def one of my favorite dramas, looking forward to seeing more of Matsumoto-san!
