I have no idea what I was supposed to be feeling...

...so I felt nothing.

There were very few good parts about this show, and they all involved Seo In Guk.

Most of the show, the "heroine" is dating imaginary men, so you don't really have anyone to cheer for. Plus, they all last for about 5 minutes and up to half an episode. The dating parts aren't even fun or watchable. It's just her showing different outfits and hairstyles, and the men being as cheesy as possible. So cheesy that even she hated it. The writer maybe thought it was going to be sort of a comic relief, but there was nothing comical about it and I just skipped through all of it as it had exactly ZERO percent affect on the story.

The second part of the show gets a little better, once we get to know Seo In Guk's thoughts because - Yay, finally a real person to cheer for.

I hated the acting of everyone here, even Gong Min Jeung who is usually really fun and often times a scene-stealer.

But the main character is just the worst, comparable to Dear X's female lead. The first thing we learn about her is she was working overtime so much that she left her boyfriend wait for her for hours at a restaurant on his birthday, and then makes it look like him breaking up with her was completely unnecessary and like he's the bad guy.
Whenever she does something wrong, it's someone else's fault, and it never changes throughout. At one point she gets on a bus to run away from a very polite Seo In Guk, and then blames him for not telling her the bus was going to Incheon.

All in all, I'm left baffled as to what the show was trying to tell, since there was barely any romance (with 'real life' people), no funny scenes (which are usually kept for second leads, but who even were second leads here?), no character development (or introduction even) and no lesson or theme conveyed.

All in all, I may be in the minority here, but do not recommend 3/10.
