Adorable story, but editing really made a mess

I will recommend that those who watch this show to give it to the end of episode two to truly decide to stop watching since the story moved a bit slow at first.
************spoilers below*********
First let me speak on the overall con of this series which was the odd editing that occur multiple times through the episodes. where it seemed like some scenes were depicting future events while other past events came later that finally made previous scenes make sense. If you are attentively watching the show, it isn't to bad that you are completely lost but it can get irritating at times. Still if you are looking for a sweet series that isn't overly hot and heavy, then this one is a great one to watch.

So let me list out the really good points of this show, the main actress discovers that her "unlucky" point of view isn't real in the sense that she has amazing talent as a designer but she just needed more confidence in herself which is what the "exchanging" of luck gave her. In this sense she wasn't saved by the male lead by mystical means or anything but she did lean on the male lead in some ways to help her progress in the field since he did have a lot more experience and contacts to help her Also the designs and work she contributed was not given to her by male lead and when they did collaborate she was upfront about his help which was refreshing from other shows where the white knight essentially spoon feeds all work and the female lead is given advantages.
The interaction between all the characters were so much fun, there was alot of friend relationships that were seen and progressed with so it wasn't all focused on the main leads love story. The trauma storyline of the male lead was good in the sense that the car accident he was in and the resulting sadness/guilt wasn't overly complicated so the viewer wasn't confused over details that are far outside plausibility. On that note though, the trauma that connected the male lead and the love rival where she received a scar from a fire was thrown in so quickly at the end that it honestly didn't give the viewer a chance to understand the storyline between them before she was gone..

The main leads had a cute relationship which was full of playful teasing and growing together but I will admit this show lacked in the big chemistry that usually comes with cdramas. There wasn't any hot and heavy scenes except a few kisses but even those were limited. Still you could still feel some chemistry but if you are expecting the "kapow" heat that some of these series have then you will be disappointed
