As someone who loved UKISS back in the day, the way the fandom embraced this young man was so freaking wholesome...and I watch almost anything he is in to this day, because he was such a sweetheart. He takes on quite risque roles too, which I am almost positive is residual influence from how wild the older UKISS members were hahaha

My Dearest is one of the best examples of character development of all time. She goes from immature teenager to mature grown woman over the span of years. Are we all even watching the same show? hahaha

John Jang and Jiwan are the reason you should watch this. So good!

Kim Soo Hyun, Seo Hyun Jin, Kim Go Eun, and Gong Hyo Jin. They all cry in a way that makes you FEEL it with them and it just elevates them in dramatic roles.

You should see him in Psychopath Diary and then Into the Ring. He goes from lunatic in one to adorably confused in the other, at the drop of a hat, he is a great actor.

Have to agree. Even when people complain about this drama, its a freaking masterclass of acting.

Not one to fall for that, but sometimes he smolders and Na Eun was so relatable, it was hilarious.

Gaus Electronics, is marked as a comedy because it is a riot of a show, however it also has, in all honesty, two of my favorite couples in any drama EVER. Eulachacha Waikiki, also a comedy, has 2 1/2 couples, all really funny as well. Live Up To Your Name, also one of the best couples ever. The FL is hard-headed though, and will frustrate you at the beginning but she chills out with ML's influence. Their chemistry is reeeeally good.

I take ratings on here with a HEAVY grain of salt as someone who has been watching dramas for over 12 years. An 8.5 on here is like a 9 normally and some 7s are great yet have low ratings? Make it make sense.

Eulachacha Waikiki is just pure hilarious interactions, so is Gaus Electronics, which is marked as only comedy but weirdly has two of the best couples ever. There is also Love to Hate You(personally, one of the best romcom dramas of all time), where the FL can't stand the ML at the beginning and just lets him have it. In Psychopath Diary(which weaves between funny and thriller), one of the main villains is a gangster at the start, then turns good over time and he is really funny, the ML is silly as well. The movie Extreme Job is a riot as well. I recently watched an older movie called The Plan Man, that was both hilarious, sweet, and a punch to the feels all at the same time, so just fyi on that one.

Hilarious and ridiculously well-acted. My goodness, the actors did not need to punch you in the feels like that, but they do anyway and it is great. Highly recommend!

1) Happy ending? Yes.
2) A love square but it is handled maturely and quickly.
3) The characters resolve their issues within a single episode. FL is very direct with her emotions, she just lays it out there and whatever happens, happens.
4) It's not a slow burn but more of a simmer, and it is fantastic. The tension between them kicks in pretty early on.
5&6) No break-ups, just some obstacles that get dealt with quickly, like adults.
7) The plot is very slice of lifey, they are in an office dealing with workplace issues.
8) Their chemistry is *sigh*. The amount of flirting with just them looking at each other is just *arrrgh!* I would give it Five Blue Fire Flames. There is a balcony scene when they get together that caused an uproar online (in the best way.)
Their chemistry off-screen is *arrrgh* inducing too. As mentioned before OST is a killer too.

The scene where they are laying down together and Byeol observes how her hands are smaller and then snuggles into her and says she smells nice was a VERY Motherly-Daughterly scene. However, a proposal or even showing them having a family morning before school, where she calls her Mom, would've been a top-tier ending.

Kim Nam Gil stole my heart in Live Up To Your Name and the chemistry there was five-fire-blue-flames so...yes. somebody give this man a romcom! Hahaha

Psssh...their first scene on the balcony with the backhug....my boy Eunho was making eyes at Jiyun like he wanted to turn Byeol into a big sister...hahaha that kind of sizzle with just eye contact is so RARE in romance genres, especially modern ones.

There was a Colombian drama called Vecinos (Neighbors) a looooong time ago that I loved and it had a similar premise to this. I always thought it should have been subtitled in English and released on Netflix, it would have been super popular and it would have made a great k-drama as well.

*It is essentially about, Oscar, a poor, humble taxi driver, with a heart of gold, living in Bogota, who wins a huge lottery. After previously picking up, Tatiana, a beautiful, kind, woman from a fancy apartment complex in a very wealthy neighborhood, he decides to move into an apartment in the building after developing a crush on her, even though they are from different social classes. He keeps his job driving the taxi while helping out people in the barrio where he is from, and dealing with the snobby rich people in his building too. You sort of see how no matter the amount of money you have, people have similar life problems, people also start to treat him differently because he has money now. He helps the neighbors from his barrio and the people in the fancy neighborhood (after wearing them down with how kind and lively he is) navigate through life struggles and relationship issues and the two groups start to mingle because of him and it creates hilarious situations.
Highly recommend for any spanish speakers/learners out there or anyone with connections to Netflix so you can tell them to translate this show and air it hahaha

I keep mentioning it around here but have you seen Love to Hate You? The leads have a similar dynamic where once their feelings are out in open they just steamroll forward.

She can't contain it! And honestly who can blame her? This man it Too. Damn. Fine.

Hahaha saw the FL, and I was immediately like dayum, she's out here collecting all the fine-ass single dads!

The way she just lays out what she is feeling point blank and then he just stares and looks so stunned at her, has had me cackling on multiple occasions already haha.
