My favourite heart warming, feel good drama
I am more of a kdrama fan, but this show exceeded my expectations. Sweet rom-com. Both actors were so natural and had a great chemistry. No unwanted, unrealistic, fake drama and twists. Just a genuine story that gives an insights into a celebrity's life as well as the challenges of a younger male dating a star and discovering that type of world. The FL was beautifully portrayed as a strong, yet emotionally vulnerable woman, seeking a real love connection. The ML was realistically portrayed as a young fan who has the ability to see beyond the fantasy of stardom and loved and accepted the FL for everything she was, not just her public image. The ML personality was a mix of being young and daring, lacking experience, strong values and maturity was superb and very believable. The music was amazing throughout the series.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet romance, great for falling asleep
I really tried to enjoy this drama, but I gave up after 15 episodes. The cast is beautiful, the story is cute, but it’s too childish and quite boring. Very little character development and the FL and ML’s sister are act in an exaggerated and cringey manner that is not cute. I can enjoy cutesy acting when it seems somewhat genuine, which wasn’t the case in this drama. The male characters were better written. I also did not feel the chemistry between the main leads, so I watched this series to fall asleep on a few occasions,Was this review helpful to you?

Beautiful journey into self-discovery and human connection
I enjoyed this drama more than I thought I would. My favourite aspect was the portrayal of quirky personalities that find others to understand and accept themas they are. The dialogues are a masterpiece, it really allows the viewers to understand the what, why and how of everything that’s going on. We’re all different and dramas often portray certain stereotypes in an unrealistic way, this show didn’t do that.
The premise of he story seems quite simple, but it touches on common issues in a very meaningful way such as greed, family, socioeconomical and gender power dynamics, meaning of sportsmanship, self-discovery and how to be true to oneself. The story develops and builds in such a beautiful and realistic way and the I could really feel the main characters inner struggles and their growth. I really appreciated the various emotional dynamics, especially between ML and FL. Their connection was soulful, on a deeper level and full of vulnerability. This series was quite profound, but managed to remain light and wasn’t overly dramatic in a forceful way. My only complaint was the lack of romance in the story or the discrepancy between what I felt was the depth of the characters feelings vs how little they acted on them. Realistically, if you show a lot of vulnerability, closeness should match.
