Hilarious and heartwarming with great characters.

What an amazing love story with an impactful message of loving oneself and also not letting biases color your thoughts of someone!! How in the world is this drama not rated higher? It has been a long while since I watched a drama where I didnt FFWD or 2x it. I was so apprehensive about how they would handle him falling innlove with her other “versions” but they handles it so cleverly. I started the drama feeling badly for FL and then it shifted to empathasizing with ML, especially as we realize why he doesn’t see the qualities in FL that he finds attractive in the other versions of her. I realized my own bias against ML and learned to see beyond the face value of things just as ML does with FL as the drama progresses. I loved that there was no push amd pull - the character said what they were thinking and wholeheartedly fell into love. The drama didn’t require SFL/SML to drive the story. OTP did a fine job moving the story along with their own character development with the help of some amazing side characters amd extras. The family and friendships were spectacular as well. Not all is the bestie relationship absolutely top-notch but even the work colleagues realistically change from somewhat toxic to truly valuing FL. The heartfelt message is so clear - your inner self shines through no matter your outer appearance and if you truly love someone, it’s their soul you love. I appreciate that they took the last 3-4 episodes to drive it home and even went a little on the nose for the people who didnt understand the message in the bracelet arc of the story.

Some other notes:
The humor was humoring! I laughed out loud in so many parts.

Second couple was phenomenal as well. They had me giggle, crying and cheering them on as well.

ML acted out his loss and self-hate for falling in love so easily again so well. FL was relatable and so very likeable. I do find it funny that she is considered “not attractive” im the drama but I get it, you can’t expect people to watch otherwise.

ML knows how to kiss!! The skinship was great!

(Tiny spoiler) They tied in his eye issue nicely from the color disapparing to him finding her when she goes invisible. Leave the science and realism at the back of your mind. This is definitely a fantasy genre.
