(I rate vertical dramas on their own sliding scale. General spoilers only.) Okay for one watch if looking for a sweet, gentle romance. Way too much time with the excessively annoying and delusional SML. Who wouldn't give up until 9 minutes before the end!!! Ugh. You could fast-forward his scenes without missing much (he's the same as many other vertical shows; completely predictable). The actor wasn't terrible, but he didn't have the acting skills to squeeze any feelings of pity from me.
The leads are very sweet to each other. The FL grows comfortable and then falls in love with the ML at a good pace. The ML is kind, thoughtful, trustful, and encouraging. The FL is thoughtful of him and his feelings as well.
There are couple of good kisses and hugs, though not a lot, even after they profess love to each other. There was something new for their first time sleeping together: the leads held a condom between their lips (together- one on each end) to rip it open. First time I've seen that.
Both leads fit their roles well. But neither had many layers. The ML actor does not have micro facial expressions (I've noticed this in his other dramas too) so he always comes across a little flat.
The subtitles weren't great so I did not understand what business maneuverings made the ML so worried about the FL changing her opinion of him once it was found out. Even so, the couple of tense emotional moments they had because of that in the last 1/4th felt contrived, especially since they were both deeply in love, had professed and showed each other that, and had zero other issues. But it wasn't drawn out or blown out of proportion so it didn't annoy me.
