A fun drama
I don't care about the popular opinion here.Many reviews have highlighted how the story lacked depth or whatever and the drama was just NC scenes but what some people fail to grasp is that just because the scenes are r18 doesn't mean the story lacked substance. Lust evolving into love is a story that can actually have a lot of substance if done well and MY STUBBORN did it very well. You have two (maybe 4?) people getting together to fulfill their baser needs but fall in love along the way, what's not to love about people in love being in denial and a major conflict and separation that leads to longing which later brings out a happy ending?
I love the story and the characters, sometimes simple is good and the story even though it was simple was not boring at any point of the drama and I will stand by this opinion of mine no matter what anyone else says.

Gave it an 8.5 at first but after seeing popular opinion I had to give it a 9.5
I love my friends to lovers trope so much and the main reason is the angst involved whenever you fall for a friend.Ji Hoon and Do Bawoo both fell for their best friend and one couldn't confess properly for fear of losing the friendship and the other tried but wasn't taken seriously. See the dilemma here.
So it is only natural for miscommunication to happen more so when you're repressing or hiding feelings and let's be honest you don't get enough plot without this very important plot device.
Jung Hamin played his role so well that I'm sure all of the viewers at one point rooted for him even if they got back to their original ships (I know I did )
The only thing I would complain about is how short the epilogue was and nothing on the main couple, they showed only side couples. The main couples only got a dream sequence ending. I would've loved to see the dynamic change between the leads after they finally started dating.
I can also imagine how exhausting it must have been to wait for the episodes weekly because the plot progress is kinda slow, I am so glad I binged.
To conclude, loved it and I would a one hundred percent recommend it.
