This is a great drama! It gives you well-paced romance and doesn't start stalling unnecessarily. I even loved the side couple - something that is really rare for me. Also, this show managed to get me emotionally invested (also rare for me).
The male lead was definitely the show stealer. His acting was amazing (doesn't hurt that he's also very handsome) and I loved every scene he was in.
However, the female lead always stuck out like a sore thumb for me. She definitely has talent, but she looked and acted too childlike for my taste. But I did like that the character was quite smart in the beginning (it was her novel after all). As a couple, I loved the trust between them and every scene of them together was amazing.
I'm just a bit disappointed by how one character's behaviour shifted unexpectedly near the end. It left a bit of a sour taste. But since the rest of the show is great, I wouldn't advice anyone to get deterred by it from watching.
