LOL What Did I Just Watch??!!

Wow, okay. This was not your usual success romantic comedy. They LITERALLY failed here, but they were happy, I guess? This drama could've been my favorite if:-

1) It wasn't broadcasted by Mango TV, because their subs sucks ass, so I'm pretty sure I missed out on A LOT of the translations.
2) If the story had made some sort of sense. It didn't.
3) The editing was terrible. They ended an episode where the leads were doing one thing, then in the next episode, it began maybe a few weeks or months later, with them doing something else. This drama had no explanations to what happened from a previous episode. (i.e) It wasn't consistent. When it did do a recap, they replayed the entire ending of the previous episode and the recap went on for too long, before it got back to the story. So you're basically left confused about the timeline of the episodes.
4) The story dragged to the point it got boring and you just kind of start fast forwarding.
5) The villains were awful and they literally didn't call them out. One suffered consequences and the other one wasn't even found out and became their friend.
6) The ending was a thrown together mess.
7) They made the FL dumber as the series went along.

What I liked about this that made me give it a 7 even thought this deserved a 5:-

1) The ML. Lu Yong Zhuo is just simply adorable. I love his acting style, his pouty lips, his DIMPLES and that smirk he did. The way he kept looking at FL. In the real world, any female that got that look would simply DIE!!! I think this was his debut too and he did such a great job playing an awkward CEO.
2) The side characters that were in the friends group were awesome. I enjoyed all of them.
3) The comedy.....Their wedding scene was HILARIOUS.
4) It focused on the struggles of their work life and not on their relationship, so this was the smoothest and fluffiest love story ever. No misunderstandings, no breakups, no love triangles. The leads simply loved & supported each other in everything they did and they were so cute and lovely together.
5) Lots of eye candy. The guys were so handsome here.

Overall, I wouldn't give this a second look, unless they sub it properly. I mean, it's really cute and funny, but if you're looking for a proper story, skip this one.
