This is what I call a good kdrama

I wasn't expecting too much from this drama. I really liked the trailer, and the synopsis caught my attention. So, I gave it a try even though it was still airing.

The plot of this drama was new to me, but I could notice that they did a good job with its development. They portrayed the lives of actors and staff in the entertainment industry quite well (still with some room for improvement though). I never realized how tough is to be in PR until this drama.

This kdrama resolved misunderstandings fast, and I was so grateful for that. I don't like it when dramas go on and on over a misunderstanding just to expand the story more than it's needed. This drama doesn't do that. Simple misunderstandings tend to be solved in the same episode or the following, so no worries about getting desperate over these things. Also, I tend to skip a lot of scenes that I find boring, but I barely did that while watching this drama, so that says a lot.

They developed the characters really well in my opinion. I got to establish a bond with most of them, seeing sides of them that you can relate to or empathize with. I loved all the couples as well. The start of their relationships felt natural and not rushed at all. Second male lead interest? Don't worry about that at all. There is a SML, but it's not the typical one that you wish the female lead ends up with. They are adults, and I love they act as such in these situations (except with their respective partners. Some couples act so childish omg, but it's kind of cute).

In short, I don't love this drama, but I enjoyed it a lot. I would definitely watch it again. I think it could have been better, but it's quite a good drama independently of my personal taste, so that's why the high rating.

Also, the actor who plays the male main lead is so good here. His character is my favorite. I surprisingly didn't find him annoying at all. Actor Kim Young Dae, keep up the good work!
