For a short, simple, silly romcom--this show is pretty much 10/10

The acting is exquisite. Yun Si Yun (he's sooo incredibly versatile--he plays convincing soft boys, villains, grand princes, etc.) does an amazing job conveying anxiety and low self-esteem. And how that stuff doesn't magically go away even when you have the confidence to put yourself out there--your voice still shakes and your words arent perfect.

Okay, so if you can set aside some qualms about how they handle medical malpractice, etc. this is a really fun show. Personally, I think this could have been resolved by adding another, more appropriate romantic interest, and keeping his first love as a really good friend. More than that, it shows him being helped up while making the most important steps to get his life back. I think that aspect is important. There are a couple things I would change or add to the message. (Like the fact you can please your partner without penetration being on the table.)

This isn't some incredible masterpiece with groundbreaking cinematography, but for what it is--this show is pretty much 10/10.
