The usual tropes with a slight twist

This drama turned out a little better than the boring, run-of-the-mill productions of 2024 .
It had all the usual tropes of k dramas - orphanage, mother issues, unlikely match, contract marriage etc, yet it overcame those tropes with a coming of age spin.

The comedy - it was spot on¡! The second ML and his secretary were fantastic and they kept the drama going.
The Romances - there were 3 couples. The 2nd couple had a fun spin and it was interesting enough.
The 3rd couple had a new age and thought provoking relationship which came as a pleasant surprise.

This is actually what we , as non regional viewers were attracted to in the first place, the delicate handling of new age situations, but in 2024 only boring romances were made.

Now the 1st couple- I adore both the leads separately but they were totally mismatched as a pair.
When put together, she makes him look younger and he makes her look older - which is all irrelevant because love transcends age - but when the chemistry is lacking, then nothing works.

So yes, it was a 12 episode short fun run with the expected need to forward some clichéd nonsense.
