Yeah, that's true. Netflix is a big thing. But what it achieved is quite a feat that one shouldn't undermine considering there are many other korean dramas with much better storyline and powerhouse cast that were/are on Netflix but didn't achieve even half as much as ABP. So I guess even if its not shown in Netflix it still stands a chance of becoming that popular.

The reason why this drama has gained unexpected popularity worldwide, even landing 2nd spot among top TV shows on Netflix worldwide and surprisingly breaking into 6th spot in the US is because of its entertainment value. Once in a while, it's like a treat having this kind as a break from all the heavy, dark, complicated ones. Am a kdrama fan since hallyu wave started and used to enjoy different genres but put off watching the dark and heavy ones for now because they seem to trigger my anxiety.

Been a long time kdrama fan and I enjoy watching different genres. For romcom, I'm giving this a high rating because it was able deliver what is expected of a romcom. Definitely one of the best and I can understand the hype. I see some people questioning the high rating it got and ranting about its plot and how cliché it is, but what should you expect of a rom com? For me, I adjust my expectations depending on the genre a kdrama falls under so that I don't seem like comparing apple to orange. It doesn't mean that if it's cliché rom com, it no longer deserves a high rating.

So happy that comments here are about how this drama brings happiness to the viewers. It's been a while that I've watched a cliché romcom kdrama, and now that only 3 eps are left, I am starting to fear the time it will end. Mondays and Tuesdays will never be the same again.
