Pump up the jam!
I honestly thought I might get triggered by this healthy forward, body-centered rom-com, however, I truly enjoyed everything about it, including its layered messages. I truly appreciated the fusion of anime (manhwa) humor laced throughout the show visibly as well, and made for some hardy chuckles. Both our ML and FL were perfection with the comedy, and I enjoyed their connection. It made the fact that we had to wait forever and a day FOR the big payoffs a little annoying, but I still enjoyed this show.
Yes, there were some quirks with this series that made it clunky, however, given the comedy context and goofiness, it just works for what it is: escapism.
*CON: One con that is just a cultural issue that I have with K-dramas what wish to touch on, appearence, fatphobia and body acceptance - I wish that they would actually hire a plus-size FL's and not a 'let me gain five pounds on my thin frame to 'look' as if I MIGHT be plus size when I'm not actress.' [No shade to our FL because by their standards, she was nicely curvier in her slimmer frame, which isn't the norm to see as an FL in k-dramas]

2ND CON: The kissing sucked! And we have an ML (fave) who can pucker up nicely!
