Fun concept
I like concept shows/movies like this. This one's hilariously and terribly awkward throughout. The leads were good, and also the main character's sister provided some great laughs.
I wish the male lead had a bit more spine. He has great values and is a great guy in general (a refreshing change from toxic male leads) but he comes out as a weakling, unfortunately. A bit more "punch" would have been welcomed.
Also, Han Ji-su is not really a nice person, I think. The real "catch" here is actually the main character's sister if you ask me (well, for anyone but the main character, obviously)! She shines through as early as the first episode.
If you're up for some light-hearted awkward slow-burn romance fun this does the job, but it does stall sometimes. I wish the show had shown a bit more the "celebrity life" part of Han Ji-su's life, it's like they went all-in for the first episode then promptly forgot all about that part. But that first episode is really, really good.
