As someone who loves the webtoon, I was anticipating the live action adaption. Though, psychically the cast wasn't who I pictured (except secretary Cha & the grandfather), the acting was good. For the most part, I didn't mind the changes from the webtoon as I was mostly treating this as a separate work.

I will gladly take all the clichés & this drama spared no effort in using them to their advantage. But, while I enjoyed the clichés throughout the drama, they did feel a bit forced & disappointing in the last two episodes. ( I'm referring to how they made the grandfather act the way that he did when the entire show they were setting up his character to act in the opposite way.) It brought down the drama for me & left me wanting more, especially the ending. Nonetheless, this was a fun drama & I needed this lighthearted romcom.

I don't think the ost was bad, like I remember liking the songs that were used but not to the point where I specifically remember them. While I don't really rewatch, this is a drama that I would recommend to others, especially if they are in the need of a laugh.

They're not a big deal but here are some things that I didn't like:
*The way her friend sold her out to Taemu. I mean it worked out in the end but it always rubbed me the wrong way even when I read it in the webtoon.
*How pushy her coworkers were (thinking to how they invited themselves to her movie date).
*Youngseo not knowing much about secretary Cha but getting upset with him, more than once, without really thinking.
*I just didn't like Hari's mom, maybe it was the actress playing her.
*The problems created by the chef's girlfriend as the drama was ending.
*How they handled the grandfather's character once news got out about Hari & Taemu dating.
*Making the grandfather sick & having to go abroad wasn't necessary.
*The time skip & how they were reunited.
