The drama had many solid funny moments and the comedy element was well handled. The romance was subtle, but the pace was a bit too slow for the length of the drama and thus, it was underdeveloped. Still, as the drama focused more on the comedy element, the love story can be excused. The relationships between the characters were, overall, well established as friends and family and they were all adorable. However, the ending, with the conclusion of the mystery about the time travel, as not well managed and it was sloppily ended. That is why, even though they were doing well with the fantasy element, in the end, they just rushed to the end without properly explaining things.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The overall story is predictable, as many korean dramas have already used this story line before. And yet, it was enjoyable. The food scenes were well made and entertaining, as the actors did a good job with their performances. The little girl was adorable too. The village life and the villagers provided a heartwarming feeling to the drama and some comedy relief when it was needed. The business drama along with the mystery of the past were okay, but nothing that hasn't been played before. Also, the romance was just okay, mainly because the female lead was annoying when she still had amnesia and acted like a kid or worse.
So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

The story again was the problem with this web drama. Probably only one out of three got a proper storyline, as the others were almost finished or barely started. The friendship of the girls was, nevertheless, quite sweet. The completed love story was extra cute, as well, and well paced, even though this drama is too short. The performances, in addition, were decent.
So, overall, five out of ten.

The plot was predictable and there were a few entertaining scenes or plotlines, mainly due to the new characters that created a few intrigues, however, even those were toned down and in the end, they were a bit idiotic. The main couple's romance could have been better, but they didn't really have much time together in this series and the drama in their relationship was too forced and out of the blue really. The second couple was boring and only had some moments in the beginning and in the end of the drama. At least the new characters were interesting and added a breath of fresh air to the story.
So, overall, five out of ten.

The main lady was adorable, though, she got a bit tiring towards the ending, but the final episode made things up smoothly. The office drama was nice as well, as it shown how difficult it is to have a relationship in the office, especially for the business women.
Actually, the second couple was a bit more interesting than the main one. The performances in addition were all great from all the actors and the actresses of the cast.
So, overall, six out of ten.

The drama has a feel good vibe, with the main character being extra adorable and cute, though going into extremes in order to get inspiration for her webtoon. But, she was enjoyable overall. The boys were classic Korean drama, or shall I say, webtoon characters. You have the clever one, the cold one, the pretty one, the athletic one and the good, friendly one. So, in the end, you've got them all, although this short drama is not about romance, rather, it's about bonding, friendship and sportsmanship. The archery part, though small, was nicely presented. The ending was a happy one, so they kept the momentum till the very end.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

One thing that actually was amazing was the cinematography. The lenses and the filter they used were just on point with the atmosphere of the story and the shots and scenery were beautiful. The leading lady was extraordinary too, with a great performance without overdoing it with her dramatic scenes. The time travel theme was also well presented and it didn't get confusing, while they kept the final twist well managed. However, it felt like the story was lacking something. The love triangle was nice, but it didn't have much intensity, though the characters were interesting. Perhaps the drama needed a few more episodes to wrap things up better.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

The story didn't focus only on the main character and her efforts to leave the farming academy and become and actress. Actually, it seemed like they have forgotten those dreams and they altered our attention towards the relationship and their future plans. The addition of the second couple was a good idea, as it added some freshness to the story and it was fun to watch, especially as the main couple got a bit boring eventually. The big twist towards the end was predictable. But the story about them creating a beer was entertaining as well. Finally, the performances were good from everyone in the cast, though most of the side characters were overlooked.
So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

The drama is a slice of life, with not much going on for it. That is because the drama's story had a basic idea, the guy who set at home all day doing nothing and his family trying to get along with that, but, other than that, a few story lines were happening, and there were few surprises or something to look forward to, like the niece's story of first love and growing up. That is not to say that the drama was not entertaining. The main character was a delight, always talking in fast pace, and making crazy reasoning about everything. The drama had a nice, easy going mood to it actually. It was sweet, cozy and the family dynamics were great.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

What is likeable about this drama was the simplicity of it. The comedy part was pretty good too, as the leading lady did a great job with her performance and it wasn't over the top, fortunately. The sad twist in the end made it more humane, even though the drama didn't build up to it. The drama, even though it was about living with less things, actually gave the things some value and bonded them in a way with their owners and their lives. The cartoon part, though, was a bit silly.
So, overall, six out of ten.

What didn't work for me was that, towards the ending, it felt like the action was happening behind the scenes and you get to only watch the results of it. And the last episode was not as good as the rest of them.
But, other than that, the comedy part was very good. The drama was funny, fresh and adorable overall. The leading lady was a delight, as always, and she adaoted to her role beautifully. The side characters and their stories were really entertaining and made the drama even more enjoyable, as the main story was low paced.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

" What is love " or " Just only love " was okay, hence the five out of ten rating.My main problem was with the ending of the story. It was not satisfying enough, as the main character didn't really change, she just continued being who she was at the begining of the movie. That is not to say that I wanted them to end up together, as it was obvious that he wasn't good for her and she was better off without him. The presentation of how her life went to ruin as she focused all her energy on him, was not well either. There were some scenes that you can really get that she was too eager to follow him and take care of him, while he was just taking advantage of that. But, other than that, we didn't get to see how she lost her job or how she was enstranged from her friends, as there was only one arguement with her friend, and that was not even about her being cold towards her.
The performances were good though, especially from the leading lady. The camera work was nice too.
So, five out of ten.

As a special just before the second season's premiere managed to present an intriguing story in just about over an hour. The mystery was good and well built, and they focused more on the business world, with some addition of the main character's background story.
The chemistry of the two main leads was good too and helped with the mystery. Finally, the performances were excellent and the usage of the computer thriller atmosphere was nicely created.
So, overall, seven out of ten for the good case it presented.

The story had some funny moments. And it was overall cute and the girls were adorable and interesting as characters. The male lead was good too. However, in the end, the drama felt like it didn't get to be completed, like it was an open ending but not really, as the main story was never developed. But each episode was cute. Probably the addition of the romance was unnecessary.
So, overall, six and a half stars out of ten.

The story was nice, with the perfect passing for its length. The characters are, overall, likable and the performances from all actors and actresses of the cast pretty good. I also enjoyed the twist in the end because it was unpredictable and quite entertaining. In addition, the plot is sweet, cute and touching. However, the story would have been better presented if the movie was longer. The characters should have breating space to bond and creat a stronger relationship in order for the story to lead to the final twist.
But, overall, it was good, so eight out of ten.
