2016 ROM COM FEEL is back

English is not my first language so apologizing way ahead..
I'm halfway through the show..
Its a ROM COM pure and pure.. Childhood trope , cohabitation trope, found family trope, rough looking ML with bubbly FL.. Cute animations..
Story:
The male lead gangster turned entrepreneur is now a CEO of meat processing company hiring ex convicts.. Not every ex convict.. Just the ones who show redemption and actually admit that they did wrong and would not make same mistake once again meets our kids content creator aka FL (who's looking for her childhood neighborhood oppa)in a classic misunderstanding way and then the story begins...
Cast
1.Um tae goo is the actor who plays our ML and 40 in real life mainly works in movie business than dramas.. His most roles are related to gangster, mobs, psychopaths ,spy and this is his first mainstream media rom com lead...Oh god.. His acting is CrAZzzY... .ROUGH on the outside and total softie -pookie from inside. His voice and his eyebrows needs a seperate appreciation post..

2.Han sun hwa as our FL.. She's cute but not in an annoying way..
Acting ✅
Chemistry ✅
Characterization ✅
Her hairstyle is the only thing which is not right... They gave her bangs to give that innocent feel.. But once you see her in the eyes of our ML then you'll realize that she's actually way more beautiful..

Fun fact : um tae goo (as lead) and han sun hwa (as supporting) has acted together in 2019 SAVE ME 2 mystery psychological thriller as love interests and coincidentally her name in both the dramas is Go Eun Ha

3. Kwon yul as prosecutor hyun woo. He is annoying to the core.. He's written like that.. No offence to the actor.. But these kinds of people are seen more in the society.. Prejudiced
4. The supporting actors around both our ML and FL gives justice to their roles.. No overcooking or undercooking

DIRECTION : kudos to director..
To balancing out the goofiness and seriousness of the script ..
You can see there are many foreshadowing and easter eggs present in each scene.. for e.g.

SPOILER..
1. In ep 1 , our FL dons a SOJU costume for part time job.. and 2 ep later, our ML got drunk on soju and opens his heart to our FL..

2. In ep 2 , our male lead is standing by a banner in bus stop ( regarding a documentary on penguin 🐧like how male penguins helps in nesting of eggs )
And Yes.. In ep 6 he uses that penguin technique of huddling to keep our FL warm when stuck in a freezer..

Spoiler ended
So yeah... Its goofy its ROM COM inggg so hard and has high rewatch value for all the rom com enthusiasts..
