Predictable, pretentious, occasionally charming—like watching a rom-com argue with itself.
The light, quirky premise with just enough emotional seasoning made this drama watchable—but let’s be honest, it also tested my patience with the world’s most oblivious “kiss master.” Yoon Sol spends most of the drama strutting around claiming elite kissing credentials like she’s running a clinic… all while having never actually kissed anyone. Ma’am. That’s not confidence. That’s delusion with a diploma.
Still, even though it was painfully obvious who the “mystery kisser” was (spoiler: we all saw it coming from episode one), I genuinely enjoyed the ride. I kept hoping they'd throw in a plot twist we didn’t ask for—maybe a surprise double identity or secret twin—but no, the drama stuck to its script like it was handcuffed to convention. I’m still unsure if that restraint is admirable or a lost opportunity. It’s like ordering spicy ramen and getting mild—but fine, it was edible.
Now, let’s talk about Bae In Hyuk, who got dangled in front of us like a shiny second lead decoy, only to be utterly conned. Yun Woo had every mark of a compelling love interest—chemistry, screen presence, even some emotional backbone. I wouldn’t have complained if he and Yoon Sol ended up together. From the very beginning, he screamed “main lead energy,” but the script clearly had other, less surprising plans.
One thing I did appreciate was the show’s brief nod to inclusivity—the idea that the mystery kisser could be a woman, or just anybody. For a rom-com this fluffy, that kind of openness was refreshing, even if it barely lasted a scene. Sadly, Yoon Sol’s pretentious streak often got in the way. Girl, if you're gonna launch a whole investigative arc, maybe don't pre-disqualify people based on vibes? But hey, without that emotional bias, there’d be no tension—and no runtime.
In the end, this drama is a classic example of drama comfort food—predictable, mildly frustrating, but still enjoyable in the moment. Just don’t think too hard about it… like Yoon Sol does.
