I LOVE this show so much and I NEED a second season.

This is my first review here so I'm not sure how to go about this... But I LOVED this show! A lot!


I finally got to see post-military service Ji Chang Wook shine in a show! As someone who fell into the kdrama rabbit hole and loved his shows when he was in the military, I was kind of disappointed with his last two outings but OhMyGod he brought his A-Game. I didn't watch Arthdal Chronicles so I loved seeing Kim Ji Won return on my screens with such a great role. I absolutely adore the whole cast and have enjoyed all of their previous performances so that added to my enjoyment.

For the uninitiated, the show follows a mockumentary style filming format, kind of reminiscent of The Office, but instead of a workplace, it is about the love lives of individuals in the city. To no one's surprise, our main cast is participating in this and their lives are all somehow connected. The 30-minute episode length with the new editing and filming format is a refreshing detour from conventional romantic dramas but still brings on all the feels!

I loved all the couples, even the extra fourth one in the bonus 17th episode. Ji Chang Wook and Kim Ji Won look great together and their chemistry is off the charts! On another level! Kim Min Seok and So Ju Yeon are so cute individually and even more so together! Han Ji Eun and Ryu Kyung Soo's characters have an unconventional relation but they make it work so well!
Janet Suh's opening theme song and all the other OSTs were perfect for this show.

I just finished the show, I loved it, and I know that I'll miss the whole dynamic and I'll definitely come back to it.
I need a second season, if you finish it, trust me, you will too!
