A classic Kdrama feel

I want to start by saying I loved how much this had the classic kdrama rom-com feel. From the premise to the cheesy and romantic moments to the comedy, I loved it all. The comedy and goofiness of this show made it so enjoyable. I really think they nailed that so well.


Characters:
Ho Rang: I liked how much personality he had. He was goofy, smart, emotional, and just a very entertaining lead. With how the show started I was worried he was going to be boring, but he wasn't at all.

Bo Bae: I liked her a lot too! I found all her writer fantasies really funny and just found her really fun overall. She did have moments of the typical "why would he choose someone like me" attitude, but it wasn't often enough that it bothered me at all. Her powers were pretty cool to see too with how they worked. I loved seeing them pay attention to a lot of the little details when it came to her (like her wearing finger gloves to type, her frizzy hair, her laptop cover being soft so she can carry it without worry, etc.). I loved seeing that.

Ho Rang and Bo Bae together: I loved these two together a lot. They were a really fun couple, and I think they brought out each other's goofy side and I loved that so much! Them testing all the different types of charging was so cute! They had great chemistry together too as actors! One of the better couples I've seen in a little bit.

Eun Ho: This is where my complaints come in just to warn you. There wasn't enough of him at all. He's supposed to be the second lead/love interest, and we rarely saw him (we saw so many other characters more than we ever saw him and his name is listed third in the credits...make it make sense). I liked his character a lot from what we did see, and I loved his relationship with Bo Bae quite a lot too. Though again, a lot of moments between them happen off camera. Another thing is Bo Bae tells us instantly that she sees him as a little brother so how are we ever really supposed to see him as a love interest. We know so quickly that she says she's never seen him differently, so he never stood a chance to begin with. I guess I just don't see the point in his character.

Seol Hui & Choi Do Yun: They annoyed me the entire show start to finish. I think they deserve each other for how awful they are honestly.


The finale felt so eh to me, like nothing really happened. It almost felt like they didn't leave quite enough material to be wrapped up in the final episode, so it felt a little empty for a finale. A lot of things were either wrapped up pre-finale or if they were in the finale, it happened off camera or was just kind of referenced rather than us actually getting to see it. I wish they did something different with the finale entirely to be honest. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show overall and a lot more than I thought I would. I highly recommend!
