This drama is actually pretty good, I saw 7.9 and I thought it wasn't good, but after watching it halfway I was so surprised how lighthearted, funny and super sweet this drama is.

The biggest plus for this drama is addressing some clichés, when the ML was jealous the FL talked to him about it, and he adjusted and changed his approach to certain situations. Also when something major happened twice the FL mentioned the word breakup, the ML told her the first time when things happen you can't mention breakup at will, they should face things together. The second time she did it, there was no reason for her to do so, I understand she was emotional at the moment, but again you can't just say that on the whim and think it's okay, i loved what he said to her when things cool down and she wanted to change her mind “Love that can be easily abandoned will not be cherished.”. I love how they address this "break up" trope that's always in these drama's. These are a few things about this drama I really liked.

The FL did a great job with playing both roles, the personalities were definitely polar opposite.

The romance is soooooo super cute, the chemistry between the leads is just sooo sweet, they looked like a real couple. I also loved all the sweet kisses, oh my... the title of the drama really suits it, it really did make my heart smile.

There were a few issues, which is fine, but no major drama, I wouldn't say there is any major breakup either, everything is pretty light regardless. There is a second male lead, and tbh he's handsome but he really needed to have some respect for the FL and ML relationship, like who confesses to someone publicly who's already in a relationship, idk what's happening with these SML, smh.

There was a comment in the first episode, I read about it prior to watching the show, I think this is the only issue with the show, I wish they had kept that out, it would have been much better, there was really no reason to made the comment, I still watched the show, because apart from that it was really a gem, one of those really lighthearted and entertaining, sweet and lovely drama, and it's such a shame for the low ratings, but I also understand for those who were offended.
