Surprisingly good show

I was a bit concerned when I started thus because the rating is low but I liked the main leads and thought I should give it a try. I might be in the minority but it's such a good show. Would have been a 9 except that the last few episodes seems rushed or seems like the writers didn't really know what to do to move the story forward.

I kinda understand why this won't be a popular series. Friends to lovers trope kinda have that tendency. We don't really get to see how the 2 lead fell for each other since when the story started they have already been friends for a long time. The falling for each other happened off screen really. And they don't really have a lot of lovey dovey scenes.

I viewed this more as a slice of life show than actual romcom. The relationships between the characters are awesome. The characters are great. I have a girl crush now with Ji Yun. And I liked that they give most of the characters some story of their own. Might be too perfect but this is fiction after all.

I liked the glimpse of how productions work and I did like that they tackled a lot of issues (but maybe they should have just chosen a few so they were more fleshed out). And the best part, the second couple were sweet and amazing.
