A Natural Comedy with Some Sweet and Sad Moments


The first episode isn’t representative of the entire drama. I considered stopping after watching it, but thankfully I gave it another try and watched the second episode. If you decide to stop after just one episode, please reconsider!

What I loved the most was how naturally the relationship progressed. They didn’t fall in love at first sight or just a few episodes in. It was very realistic to watch them get closer with each episode, slowly realizing their feelings. This slow burn really highlighted the importance of wanting to change for yourself. Mi-ran always did everything to feel loved, so if she had fallen in love with him from day one, it would have undermined the message that she keeps working out because she wants to, not just to get closer to her crush.

If I had to highlight one thing about this drama, it would definitely be the comedy. It was hilarious at times, which made it so easy and enjoyable to watch. Even though it was funny, it also had some deep moments that genuinely made me tear up—except for one specific scene (if you know, you know) that made me sob.

I liked all the characters. The rest of the cast did an excellent job, bringing both comic relief and heartfelt moments. Each side story was interesting, and even though some characters annoyed me at first, they completely stole my heart by the end.

One thing I want to mention is Sol’s story. At first, I was upset when it unfolded, thinking it was unnecessary—but I later realized how important it actually was.

I also loved how even the characters that came to cause trouble weren’t just irrational villains. They had great storylines too, which added depth to the drama.
