News A Refreshing, Low-Stakes Rom-Com
This drama is a perfect bridge watch if you are looking for something light with no angst. I was excited to see Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young, as I loved their previous dramas—Nam Ji-hyun in My Beloved Thief, which is one of my favourites, and Kim Jae-young in Idol I.
This is not the usual unrealistic rom-com; it is a slice-of-life drama. I love the main leads' interactions and their bickering, and how they slowly start falling for each other. It is also nice to see how the other person gives them the courage to change their life.
The storyline is refreshing, and it is very easy to watch. Seeing a love story unfold without any antagonists was a welcome change. The acting is great, as they are all talented actors. Nam Ji-hyun brings warmth and quiet depth to Gong Yeon-su, the conservative marketer, while Kim Jae-young radiates charming, slightly unhinged energy as Dokgo Dal, the free-spirited CEO of an adult-toy startup.
I am not sure why, but I was not totally drawn to the drama. It was a good watch but not amazing. I am not sure why.
Final Verdict: A grounded, funny, and thoughtfully written rom-com that handles a mature topic with impressive finesse. The chemistry between Nam Ji-hyun and Kim Jae-young is the heart of the show, and their "opposites attract" dynamic makes for an engaging, easy watch. Highly recommended if you want something light and refreshing—just don't expect it to blow you away.
