Beautifully Cringey love story I can't stop watching
If you want those people that like micro dramas or something about 1% you're going to love this. This is a huge step up from the vertical mini dramas. Also This drama surprised me in the best way. It reminded me a lot of 1% of Something in that it wasn’t trying to be deep, prestigious, or anything it wasn’t. It knew exactly what kind of drama it was — a slightly cringey, forced-cohabitation romance — and it leaned into it fully.
What I loved most is how focused it was. The story is about the couple, period. Side characters exist only to move their relationship forward, not to distract from it. No unnecessary subplots, no random people taking up screen time. Just the couple, their dynamic, and their progression.
It’s funny, giddy, and very rewatchable. The kind of drama you can finish in a day, put on in the background, or recommend to someone who wants something light and cute without emotional exhaustion. It honestly felt more watchable than Boys Over Flowers — better chemistry, better outfits, and way less unbearable energy.
The female lead can be over-the-top for her age, but it works here. It’s exaggerated in a way that’s funny, not grating. And the male lead? Yes, he’s dominant and obsessive — but in this drama’s world, it never crossed into creepy. It stayed firmly in “dramatic, devoted, and ridiculous in a fun way.”
If I had to nitpick, I wish the transition from “not together” to “together” had been given a bit more weight. The moment happened quickly and could’ve been more defined. But once they were together, the drama didn’t fumble it — we actually got plenty of couple time.
Overall, this was honest, complete, and exactly what it set out to be.
Rating: 9-9.5/10
For this type of drama, it honestly does almost everything right
