Louis and Bok-sil are the cutest lil pups and deserve the world. And he was so devoted to her!! Nothing ever swayed him and he loved Bok-sil so much. She was always his first priority and it was so cute how he followed her around like a puppy. His whole character was like a child and I loved it, he was a cinnamon roll.
I also liked how even though there were 'antagonists', they were never truly THAT bad. The CEO was always so obviously suspicious and was even a bit funny too.
On the whole, this show was great. The plot was always good, with Louis x Bok-sil's cuteness in the centre. It was a great rom-com and that's why it is getting a great rating. Only a teeny bit of angst (which wasn't even that bad) and the rest was so enjoyable to watch.
Would highly recommend

So, for story I gave this a 9.5. I loved the pace, I loved the progression, and I really enjoyed the growth of the characters. Our OTP were super cute, although I will say that their chemistry wasn't exactly sizzling. Maybe that's why people didn't give it higher ratings? No, they weren't ready to claw each other's clothes off with their steamy gazes, but their love was just as satisfying and intense--just in a different way. Because they are different characters than the usual drama, and so of course their love would be unique.
The cast was my favorite part about this drama, so I gave that a 10. Every character is fun to watch. Even the "bad guys" were hilarious in their comedy of errors storyline, and the way that they sort of accepted their karma when it came calling. Almost like they rather expected it all to crash down on their heads. The OTP had so many moments worth remembering and re-watching, and I think my cheeks started to hurt from smiling. Our side characters were hysterical, and even though a lot of time was spent on them towards the end, I didn't mind. Actually, I loved it. They were a joy to watch. And I usually hate side character stories!
As far as "fun to watch" dramas go, this one was dang near perfect. There were sad and emotional parts sprinkled in there, but for the most part, it is a positive drama with a GREAT ending. Incredibly satisfying, with all loose ends tied up, and questions answered.
I watched this during a handful of "sick days" and "snow days," and it cheered me right up!

Someone get a helmet to this poor Louie!
What a nice, kind, loving story!Even though Louie and KoBokSil are the most kind and trusting unbelievable characters ever…. I was cheering up for them since ep 1.
Louie is just such a spoiled young adult, so fragile but hanging there, trying to condront his adversity…. The actor was amazing… You can not even get angry with him…
Ko bok Sil.. same thing.. such hard working, responsible girl… always taking care of everybody… the
The only character that was a bit over the top was Mr Cha… even though the actor was also amazing, the age gal was very noticeable…
I loved the story and the ending…
Would I watch it again? Yes…
Would I watch a season 2? Absolutely!

Could have been totally cliched, but wasn't
Light, lovely show. Seo In Guk was made for this role. The range of emotions that he displayed - scared, clueless, naive, vulnerable, playful - I found myself smiling throughout a good portion of the show. The female was very good also and they had such sweet chemistry together. If you just read the overview for this show, you might think that it will be just a re-mix of every Korean drama you've already seen. I mean, c'mon, wealthy guy/poor girl, amnesia, we've seen these things before. I didn't hold out much hope when I started this - I'll be honest, I was watching because of Seo In Guk. I very quickly realized that this show was going to knock down all my pre-conceived notions. This took the K-drama cliches and either turned them on their ear, or soften them so you weren't being beat over the head with them. Very good kissing scenes, nice ending without being rushed.Was this review helpful to you?
Cotton candy meets 100 days my prince with a twist (or ten)
This was a cotton candy ride that seemed to fall in to a dark well only to be transformed in to a lollipop.This starts off as a modern day 100 days my prince where the biggest difference is that the side characters are not as annoying and the that the male lead is a different actor who may do the same things as the prince but is so much more loving and kind. The female lead is not only the same actress but has many of the same traits but of course much much nicer. To be honest most of the characters in this drama are unbelievably nice. As the story progressed it did take several different turns fitting an historical drama yet made me forget about the 100 day prince and started reminding me of meow my secret boy, but without the maturity gap and with a totally different story-line.
Louie is really the sweetest little puppy, though he may be selfish at times he is extremely devoted and loving sometimes this turns to borderline stalking but in a more I miss you and want to be with you then a I shall own you kind of way... So I honestly wanted to adopt him.
Ko Bok Shi- Is as ind as kind can be, while being extremely strong and independent she is also extremely naive and devoted witch makes her a great match to the leads loving character.
The mothers in this drama are adorable and I truly wanted to join their gang and hug them all.
The downsides to this drama are that the humor is a bit low and in the beginning, the second male leads acting is terrible and by the end I found him extremely annoying. 7/10 turns where predictable and though the turns where as many as in a historical drama they where not that exiting. The story made me feel a wide range of emotions (+) but just not strong enough to break out in laughter or turn on the water works.
The ups are all the sweetness, the devotion, the caring and the trust between the leads. The character progression in more or less every singel character and just the way Louie interacts with the people around him. Oh and the friendships! Gotta love a drama with good friendships. And though this drama didn't keep me on my toes it was very easy to binge and made me happy and feel all fluffy inside. And well that is essentially all I really need in a romcom drama.

Overall this is a good drama. Not overly cliche, and has some unique elements to it. Each character is well developed through the drama.I think every episode apart from the last two was well made. Every episode was funny and didn't felt dragged, except ep 15 and 16. Personally, I think that episode 15 and 16 ruined the drama, they were filled with filler and irrelevant scenes that didn't help with the development of the drama. But overall they were decent episodes. Most kdramas have their last episode filled with obvious sponsor products and advertisement, this one didn't do that. There were some loose ends I wondered about after the drama ended for example: Did Me Ri and In Seoung get together or with Mr Cha?
The acting is superb. You can never go wrong when Seo InGuk and Nam Jihyun is acting.
Ost is superb.

The most lovely cliche ever
Guys, I'm just in love. That's all. I love soft dramas, with comedy and romance enough to make you recover your energy after the tense ones, and this drama is just the cutest thing in the entire world! I gave the synopsis in the first impressions, so you can go there to see what I said. Let's to the characters!LOUIE, THE BABY WHO WILL STOLE YOUR HEART
The character of Louie isn't the kind that attracts me. When I saw the first episode, I thought "There we go again with another Gu Jun Pyo", but how wrong I was! You will think that Louie is a shameless profiteer that only gets headaches to Bok Sil, but when we immerse in his story and start to see how kind and sweet he is, you just go with Bok Sil and get down for this baby. Seo In Guk is just amazing and I have to say again: I can't believe that he is acting in "Doom at your service" with so many different. I saw episode twelve today and thought "Where is my baby Louie?". I IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN! I'm watching "King of High School" now, so wait for more of this great actor here.
BOK SIL, THE WONDER WOMAN
As I said, Ji Hyun isn't my favorite actress, but this character is far away better than "Suspicious Partner". Go Bok Sil is a clichê (as many things in this drama), but she does her job and delivery the sweetness and innocence in the right measure. The chemistry between her and In Guk is also pretty good and I smiled a lot watching these two. I cleaned my mind so I can follow Ji Hyun in her next characters without any ghost, yay!
There were a lot of interesting characters in this drama, but as a cliche, they weren't very deep. I will make a notification here to register my pain every time that I saw a "Ma Ri" in a drama. Why every Ma Ri is annoying? Please, someone, create an amazing Ma Ri character! For me! T_T Let's move on.
If you don't like cliches, this drama isn't for you. We have everything and more here. Chaebol, memory loss, gentle/strong female lead, conspiration... And the big one that I will tell in the comments, with spoiler (which was my only low point in this drama). This drama is pretty funny, from the edition until the script. The cuteness is something that you won't be able to handle (I'm watching repeatedly the red carpet scene and I'm exactly like the ahjumma and In Sung). If you wanna something fun and cute, just watch it. And you're welcome. Honorable mention here to the OST. Only amazing songs!
It's an AMAZING ONE (★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★★/2) just not CHOSEN ONE because of what I will say in the spoiler below. I'm crying already missing my precious!

Sweet and funny!
What a great drama! Cute and very funny, there were hilarious scenes!I loved the main couple, they're different from what you can see in most of dramas, especially the male lead. Louie isn't a grumpy ML, he's kind and genuine, Seo In Guk played this role really well. Nam Ji Hyun is great as always, she's playing an innocent and hard-working poor girl. She's the one who's gonna help him at first.
The villain is definitely one of the funniest too although he was trying to be a threat lol.
If you're looking for a sweet and meaningful show, this is a must watch!

So much potential
This drama had a lot of potential if only it had a better writer. It started off soo good, it was everything I wanted. I thought the leads got comfortable with themselves too early but it was not much of a problem. This drama did not need 16 episodes. It was about time Louie got his memory back but they dragged it for way too long and I just was not interested in the drama as much as I was. It just overall became a tiring watch. What annoyed me the most was Louie's childish acts including physical gestures, I don't know why he had to be portrayed like that but I found it annoying and I could not take him serious. The characters definitely developed but it didn't happen until later on which again this drama did not need 16 episodes. The acting was pretty good and the chemistry between the leads was great they suit each other well, the ost is also pretty good, I still play it. What drew me to this drama was the story again it had so much potential but unfortunately a lot of things would have gone different and overall I had to force myself to finish it.Was this review helpful to you?

This couple are like a warm marshmallow
I had a couple issues with the story in the first half of the drama because some things weren’t adding up and I felt like the relationship between Louis and Bok-sil happened way too fast. Not in the sense that them becoming a couple was quick (that wasn’t the case at all), but just them living together and even the whole sauna scene - they already seemed so close! Also, I’m not sure who would actually live with a stray human just because they claim to have lost their memory and are wearing what looks like your brother’s clothes. That seems uncomfortable to me.Speaking of uncomfortable, whatever was going on with Director Cha liking Bok-sil was (imo) a bit odd. Is it just me, or did he seem like he could have been her dad? He wasn’t super old, but I got the vibe that he was way older than her, and especially in his job role too. It didn’t make sense to me why he liked Bok-sil.
In the first few episodes I got the opinion that Bok-sil was quite poor and I didn’t understand how even her job at Goldline could be making her enough money to then have all of these really nice outfits, let alone all of the shit that Louis bought (I know they returned some stuff, but still…)
The thing that confused me the MOST, until someone realised their mistake, was when everyone thought Louis was dead. Like who did the inspection!? Also, it wasn’t clear that any body had been found in the car so I was sat their thinking, ‘How did they not notice there wasn’t a body in the car?’
I liked Bok-sil straight up! Her character was kind and sweet and the actress is 10/10. Same for Louis! At times I found him very childlike and thought he needed to grow up a bit, but he was just so nice that I can’t complain. These actors honestly had some of the best on-screen chemistry I’ve seen.
I loved all of the side characters - most of them made me laugh and they were actually useful and added more to the story. Once again I cried for the grandma when she died.
Even though it seemed far-fetched that Louis and Bok-sil had already met at the 30th anniversary of the Goldline group as children, it was still cute how they came full circle and Louis gave the music box back to Bok-sil. And THAT’S why it said Go-bo-si on the bottom! That was good planning, and this too made me cry.
I liked the songs for this drama - I thought they fitted well.
Overall, I would watch this again. I ended up really enjoying/liking it and I would look forward to coming home from work and just getting comfy with my shopaholics XD Like I said, I had some issues with some parts of the story so that’s why I wouldn’t rate it a solid 10/10, but apart from that everything else was great!

Puppy Love
I didn't think I was going to like this K-Drama at first, but it quickly became a favorite!I was in need of a cute rom-com, and this 100% fit it. The two leads are SO adorable and have great chemistry. They have a very innocent "puppy-love" romance and are also quite funny!
Some of the side characters can be a bit annoying, but I feel like all are meant to be comedic. The second male lead was an interesting choice (he was SO much older and kind of grumpy- he reminded me of like the old stereotypical mean male leads) but even he grows on you...
By the end of it, I was low-key sad it was over. I really grew fond of so many of the characters and didn't want to see them go!
