I have read the webtoon, so I already knew what to expect. But I was still disappointed with the drama.
The acting:
Probably my lowest score, yes there were supposed to be two socially awkward individuals but they were trying to hard! Cha eun woo looked stiff and the role did not suit him at all! He was only "handsome" which was reminded to us every single episode!
The girl's face did really suit the Gangnam beauty description but even her acting was rather dull. Terrible chemistry between them. From all the cast I actually like the sunbae second male lead. And the evil Soo Ah acted somewhat better on portraying a deceitful innocent girl.
Nevertheless they could have done better.
Story:
Good concept though, I enjoyed reading the webtoon last year and it followed a different approach to romance, dealing with serious issues like personality and physical appearances. Knowing how Korean culture is obsessed with "beauty", I did feel it was necessary to cover this topic. Although they still kinda dumbed it down, somehow they did the opposite! When she stated "she was ugly in the past" everyone just agreed. All accept her dad just constantly reminded her that now you are pretty (i.e. you were ugly). Not a great message to be honest, and in the end beauty still prevailed.
It felt rushed and unnecessary scenes at times, but it was the acting that ruined it.

Soundtrack was ok, not the best but nothing to complain about either

Rewatch value...?? Watching it once is enough, rather you won't miss out if you haven't watched it, I wouldn't personally watch it again.

This was my first drama starring Seo Kang Joon
Let me get this out of the way first
I have concluded that he is the most beautiful handsome gorgeous person in the whole world I have ever ever seen...
Back to the review
Acting:
Amazing, from the villains to the heroes, everyone's acting was on point especially Seo Kang Joon's. His acting was superb! The change between his roles was smooth and just mesmerising. Second award has to go to Yo Oh Seong!
Storyline:
Great sci-fi futuristic concept. The story was well written, action and romance scenes and the futuristic graphics were amazing. Each episode leaves you craving for another one lol so do not watch it when you have exams.
I had predicted 3 different outcomes, the end was one of my least desired outcome. Just be warned that you might not be happy with the ending, I am content with it but I don't see it personally as "happy ending".
But it will definitely take you through an emotional rollercoaster, most times like me I hope, you will be screaming kyaaaaaaaaa!
The soundtracks fit the drama.
Overall you won't be disappointed with the drama, it's now one of my personal favourites. Be warned, you will be head over heels for a tin man.

The drama was slow paced in my opinion. The storyline was odd and had a boring plot, nothing against the cast or the acting but it had very annoying main characters, who milked the joke dry. Apparently you will need great patience skills with the male lead and some sort of empathy with the female lead. I tried, I really did, but nothing came from it, no progress no improvement. The acting was done well according to the characters, so nothing against the cast, it was just the character itself that was just horribly written, dumb naive stupid arrogant narcissistic main guy and dumb naive submissive motherly female lead. Watched due to recommendation but regret wasting my time
There was no excitement on looking forward to the episode unfortunately
Shame
