This drama sits awkwardly between almost-great and nearly-forgettable, choosing instead to loiter in a weird limbo. It’s your classic prince-and-pauper story—except instead of royal identities, it’s K-pop glitz versus café grunge. The switch happens, things get mildly chaotic, and the story hums along in a very “web drama budget” kind of way.

The female lead, Seo Ji Soo, tries her best with what she's given. Her performance isn’t groundbreaking, but hey—it’s her first time leading, and the show’s runtime barely gives her room to breathe. For a short series, it’s forgivable. The dual roles are cute on paper, but the execution? A little too rushed to leave much impact.

There’s a romance simmering, but it never boils. Emotional moments come and go before they stick, and by the final episode, I was hoping for resolution with actual weight. Instead, the ending limps toward closure like it forgot there’s no guarantee viewers will watch the sequel (especially since the reviews scream “Don’t bother”).

Overall, it’s not a terrible watch. It’s light, mildly entertaining, and occasionally sweet—but don’t expect it to sweep you off your feet. This is drama purgatory: not bad enough to roast, not good enough to rave. Watch it if you’re curious, but prepare for a finish that fizzles.
