Wow…this show is every K-drama trope I hate chucked into one.

- the mean spiteful girl who causes trouble for the female lead
- the clueless female lead that ruins any potential chance she gets
- she just lets people walk all over her & also causes bs misunderstandings due to lack of communication
- seriously, why is her self confidence so low??
- and then all the family drama DRAMA

Omg I figured out what it reminded me of. It’s just like 'Kimi ni Todoke'!! Only Kazehaya is full of life and personality and Do Kyeong-seok is more brooding and standoffish. But both female leads Sawako and Mi-rae are both just as clueless and continually shoot themselves in the foot. Both are in situations where the feelings between their crushes are mutual and yet both of them choose to hurt their crush for no reason. Both girls have been bullied for their looks as well.

There is also the gorgeous sly ‘mean girl’ who is very cunning and fake and puts on a fake ‘cutesy’ personality to have everybody like her.

The show got slightly better after the couple got together at last. And I will also admit there were things I did like, despite all the cons

- other than the melodrama, was an easy-ish watch
- Kyeong-seok is not getting fooled by Su-a for one second, his eyes scream ‘get her away from me’ and I live for it
- Some funny moments I enjoyed
- Once canon, Kyeong-seok x Mi-rae were cute

On the whole, I’m glad I got to cross this drama off my list.
