Rom-Com done right!
Characters are very different from our usual modern day romance:
Yeo Mi Ran is almost absurdly strong and tough, but it is brilliantly explained why (perverts out in the open, women being perceived as weak and helpless and her personality not being able to let that slide).
Partly because she is so tough and cool, she never fell in love and always just played with men.
Nam Gang Ho is the most popular and desired actor, called the god of romance, but he actually hates women because she met only the really bad ones: the ladder-climbers, the gold-diggers and similar types.
Secondary leads are not the best. Do Won Jun at least starts a lot of the comedy scenes and is a reliable buddy and wingman, at least until the final part, where he turns into he most cheesy guy ever, and even him trying to downplay it by calling himself out doesn't help at all.
Shin Na Eun has a few good moments, but in general doesn't stick out in any way, positive or negative.
Supporting cast is full of weirdos, but in the good sense of the word, very colorful and mostly funny people
It was necessary to describe the characters first, because the story highly relies on the two mains' clash of personalities. It is innovative, doesn't care how people in it are painted or what you will think of them, leaves you on edge most of the time, and maybe most importantly it is not predictable except the last 1,5 episode.
By being so unhinged and unpredictable, it creates one of the best "two people getting to love each other" scenarios ever.
It gets seemingly cheesy sometimes, only to twist that into an extremely funny or shocking situation a minute later.
When they finally get together, you get to experience possibly the most natural, intensive and beautiful chemistry ever.
It's like they truly were born for each other.
The OST is mostly energetic and emphasizing the mood of the series.
It doesn't stick out too much, but when you listen to it separately from the show, lots of the songs are gems,
especially the 4 pivotal ones.
Even the inserted "emoji" sounds indicating moods and funny situations were so on point here, that it did not disturb the flow of the show, which happens in 99% of similar cases.
In general this is a good show for anyone who enjoys romantic comedies, but especially for those who are tired of the cheesy predictable ones with no distinct flavors and want something at least a little more original that can actually make them laugh or drop their jaw in surprise.
