This mini drama is about a female student (Youngji) who literally signs away her ability to date, so she has an excuse to hang out with her crush- the president of the Alchemist Club. The Alchemist Club believes that dating is useless and that you can only succeed in the corporate world if you don't date and focus on your studies.
This drama is a perfect way to spend 4 hours in cute cheesy fluffiness.
Youngji plays a really cute and funny female lead. Her character is really determined and a bit desperate in a hilarious way. She really wants to find true love and doesn't care if the man she likes isn't interested in dating. She just wants to be around him.
There are great supporting characters in this drama, that at the end you are sad to see go. (Although I was happy to see the professor go---bore).
The music is really great. The drama mixes in a bunch of Kpop and English pop into every episode. I found myself discovering a few new great songs.
I honestly rewatch the last 3 episodes a lot. The middle of the drama can be a bit slow (although the episodes are only 15 minutes long), but it pays off in the end.

This web - drama was unexpected in so many ways. I started watching it to while away time before i fell asleep but once i started i was hooked. This web - drama had all the cute, sweet and cheesy moments i needed after watching angel eyes. It had just enough fluff to satisfy me. Firstly the number of cast members were small enough for me to understand each character relatively well. This web - drama really laid out the irony of life for me. Although, for me this web - drama could have been an episode or two longer answering a few questions they left unanswered and explaining some conclusions they derived. Secondly, the music!!!!!!!! This drove me absolutly insane, i've never seen a korean show use both international and local music as well as this web - series achieved it. Some sections i rewatched just because the music was that on fleek. The music to me was an extra character i wanted to listen too it and watch it for 10 season more. The music crew really did well. Finally, the rewatch value... I'm about to watch it all over again thats all i can say. I hope everyone sees the beauty in this show. I feel if it was a full blown drama wit 16 episodes at 1+ hours for each episode it would have been way too draggy. I Appreciated the sweet short beauty of this web - drama.
