Exciting rom-com

This is by no means the perfect drama but I don't understand why it's receiving such low reviews as I'd recommend it! It's really exciting and well-balanced from start to finish. I was expecting it to focus more on the deeper reason of the good souls looking good and bad souls looking bad (although who can ever call Park Bo-young plain, she is the opposite to model-esque I suppose) but apart from some comments here or there it doesn't really delve into that. Instead it's a crime rom/com.

It is first and foremost a rom-com so while it was a bit rough, the small details weren't important because it was enjoyable and I wasn't bored at all watching it. We aren't supposed to take the story or characters too seriously. It created to entertain us and I was entertained. The action was exciting, the sorrow was sad, there were great plot twists, the romance made my heart beat, the backstory was interesting, the couple was adorable and had great chemistry.

Park Bo-young delivers her cute and sassy self, she is basically a sassier version of her Strong Woman Do Bong Soon character. Ahn Hyo-seop's a very fresh rookie and while he's rough around the edges at the start he delivered his bright, fresh, good-hearted character as intended. Every time his smile would break out after some tension would make my heart skip a beat.

I recommend it for the exciting crime & sweet rom-com.
