extremely cliche, liking it heavily depends on if you like the leads
This was totally cliche, from the girls squealing over the cold/smart/brooding ML, to the silly/quirky/dumb FL, the story was nothing special. It's pretty similar to ItaKiss and all those variations. The writers don't really try to do anything else, it's just a regular cohabitation drama with all the hijinks.
The acting was fine for me. I feel like they got the point of what their characters were supposed to be like. Unfortunately, I ended up getting 2nd/3rd/4th??? (I think there are 4 guys in total when considering both seasons) lead syndrome. I won't say which one got to me the most, but even though both he and the ML were originally mean to the FL, at least the one I liked became much warmer to her. I couldn't see any real feelings from the ML, even though he's supposed to be cold, does he really have to be that bad? I've watched almost every single variation of ItaKiss. I've always enjoyed the ones where the actors of the ML show that they do like the FL where they can. It really felt like she was still stuck in a one-sided love even when they were together.
It would have a higher rating from me if it could actually make me buy into the relationship between the leads. I believed that the FL really liked him, but I couldn't feel anything from the ML. A person has to be really into his type of character to not fall to 2nd lead syndrome.
I can't comment on the music since I don't really care about that.
I finished the drama, but it didn't really leave an impact. I do like certain scenes so I'd rewatch those, but I ultimately don't love the show. It's not a waste of time if anyone wants to watch something fluffy. Overall, it was good, but not great.
