I usually am a little more lenient with web dramas. It's hard to tell a story in 15 minute episodes. However, High End Crush had too many things to ignore. I still went lenient on it which is why this rating is a 6 instead of something lower but I digress.

What I Liked:
I enjoyed the somewhat new character in Yi Ryeong. She had her convictions, she was raised in the mountains, and doesn't know a lot about the city but didn't really let that stop her from saying and being what she wanted.

The premise for the story typically hits a spot with me in regards to dramas. I love cheesy cliche rom coms.

The pace of the drama was also nice. Just when I started getting bored it would pick up or close a plot line and open a new one.

The humor but only in the last 5 or so episodes. Those last few eps actually had me laughing out loud at some moments.

What I didn't like:
The humor in the first 15 episodes. I don't understand why they thought it'd be hilarious to have the humor men just yelling loudly and yet somehow under their breath but that was the "comedy" in the first 15 episodes.

Everything about Choi Sae Hoon. He embodies the male lead in dramas from 2008-2014. He's entitled and mean and demanding. You still see this in current dramas but I think it's milder than earlier dramas and definitely milder than this character. I was kind of rooting for Yi Ryeong to be like nah and live her life happily with her aunt.

Overall, I think this will fade completely from my memory but it was enjoyable for the majority of the watch.
