Straightforward Romance no dull moment just good vibes!

I would say the only disappointing thing about this series is that they did not make this a mainstream series. The series is short, and straightforward, with no BS side characters that take the limelight from the main leads, and no long discussions/scripting. This should have been a noona genre because the main leads have 10 years age gap in real life but the plot was of a dominant rich FL who falls for a poor warm-hearted guy. It also has this sleeping beauty vibe that was incorporated into the story as fantasy, but yes it made the plot cute. What is amazing about this series is that even though this is a fantasy romance the scripting, the pacing, and the acting were all so realistic. It will make you smile because there are scenes that happen in real life. Scenes that are: when the FL and her friend were talking about how she could initiate sex with the ML and made those hand signs that she did it the following morning. How the FL and ML were watching 50 shades of gray to initiate intimacy. How the FL and his brother have a love-hate relationship, having a narcissistic brother that you fight with but at the end of the day protects his sister. How every moment the FL and ML share time together cooking, and lying on the sofa, is as simple as just the eye connection. The actors have amazing chemistry, again they have 10 years age gap but how they acted in their roles was so real and had no awkwardness. How the FL took the ML's face to kiss intimately several times when both of them were lying in bed and how they both looked at each other's eyes. The FL has her charm in acting and the ML has this genuine freshness in him. Hope all C-Dramas can adapt to this, with no BS side characters, and no awkwardness when kissing and doing bed scenes for actors who have an age gap. In most noona themes there are no bed scenes or even intimate kissing but this series was so straightforward with the plot and acting. Also, even the supporting characters and plot were so good that it all just provided good vibes throughout.

I hoped there would be season 2 and the actors here would be given mainstream roles in the future.
