Park Shin Hye, a star is born.
Park Shin Hye was the lead through and through.The story was well written, it maybe should have had an extra episode to punctuate the lead’s romance, but I suspect they didn’t want to show a pregnancy wrap up episode as per usual in these kind of dramas because of the lead actress’s age.
The brightest spot in view is the decent balance of toxic to positive characters, this increases the rewatch value. The usual crazy, loud, self awareness lacking characters where kept to a minimum.
The other main where also given adequate screen time and arcs. The elder characters were surprisingly not 1 dimensionally portrayed like they are sometimes are.
Most off the plot points are realistic. Most males would fall for a female who is inexperienced, positive, upbeat, untouched and easy to be around if they are in close proximity to her.
I highly recommend this one for those that like traditional romance.

A train wreck
This show is quite stupid. It seems to have been written by 10th graders, or maybe it’s an April Fool’s joke on the viewers??Abandon medical school to be a pastry chef?? You don’t see him in making pastries??
Low effort from the production team, the lead actors etc..
And it commits the worst crime of all by being boring.
On the surface it seems like a normal show, it’s like sticking your hand in a bag of donuts only to pull out your hand and it’s covered in dog p@@p.
Start watching at your own risk, you’ve gotten a fair warning, so you have no one to blame but yourself.

The Script/Synopsis/Concept is not exactly mind blowing, but the writer and director were able to flesh it out and mould the show into a memorable drama.
Non of the lost memories, time jump, yelling Ajummas, switched at birth, drunkenness, giving all your money to family members, subservient women, weak/feminine men, and other quirky Kdrama tropes.
The acting was great especially the female lead, she portrayed happy, sad, jealousy, anger, suspicion, crazy, so mart, decisive, friction with mom, loving nonna, and so on. It must have been a dream role for the actress.
Every actor & character got there moments to shine, all the main actors are stars in their own respective.The wardrobe was iconic and timeless, the main set (ML’s home) was so good it was an even a tourist attraction in Seoul.
