ultimate sweet rom-com shouldn't be missed!!!

this drama is one of the most ever valuable and high level performed rom-com for this year and among all the comedic korean dramas ever seen, it was unexpectedly so good to watch it as I enjoyed every single moment through all the show that I didn't want it to finish so early as it was a successful choosed cast of actors for all the characters in this story were top notch in acting that I am so glad to give it a try being truly worthy to watch and being pleased with the progression of story and the amazing funny scenes that were accomplished in a great and outstanding way with no any boring times and being flawless that I didn't skipped any scenes giving an excitement to stay focusing on the screen!!!

shin min ah was the star of this show and I think she carried the worthiness of the show with her facial expressions that are most suitable for funny roles, it was the first time I watch a drama for this actress and heard that she was so good in previous dramas so wanted to try it as from the poster she seems to have a charisma to make this drama one of royal korean rom-com and really just seeing her from the first scene wearing these socks at the wedding of her ex made her looking so funny that I wanted to know more about this interesting character, though son hae young is a character written on the premises of being calculative and materialistic wanting to benefit from every single chance as she suffered from her mother and that foster home her parents opened for not getting enough care but in the core hae young is the best to protect and loving her foster sisters when she can't give up on gathering them under her care being concerned about every problem facing her two adoptive sisters so the character of hae young is lovely and strong, always being honest and stealing the spotlight through all the show!!!!

I think one of the most funny scenes that shin min ah portrayed was when she attended the wedding of her ex, indifferent for the fact of being his wedding and taking pictures in the foreground besides the groom and brides and donating money as a congratulatory for their wedding was a strong start of the drama showing the firm and amazing funnily personality of hae young in addition how kim ji uk proposed to hae young in the part time market job bringing her a bunch of her jelly packets she liked the most!!!!

kim young dae's character was for the first time the most successful one cause I am used to see him a cold and ruthless person with repellent facial expressions in his two dramas moon in the day and the forbidden marriage that I hated every character he played but I was wondering how he will look in a new unusual role for a rom-com and regarding many watchers praising his role so here was the surprise, alongside shin min ah together they shined as a beautiful and amazing couple in this drama, their chemistry is the most firing and attractive among the noona romance ever seen so I liked all the scenes including these two actors and kim ji uk appeared to be mysterious for hae young but I empathized wity his character being abandoned by his parents and being bornt out of wedlock and raised by his grand mother so son hae young and her mother lee eun ok gave him the real meaning of being among a family even though it was a fake marriage but surprisingly I liked the character of kim ji uk as much of liking son hae young, so the first leads was so outstanding and marvelous adorning the screen while watching them all the time!!!!

han ji hyun portrayed the character of nam jae yeon the lovely and friendly girl, though always being smiling this girl was unfortunately insecure from a hidden and dark part she lived under the aggression of her unjust and evil father and her mother whom abandoned her but I was glad to see the warmth hae young gave to her adoptive sister caring about her and sharing the same house so this strong bond between female leads though shaked sometimes was so good and worthy to watch!!!

lee sang yi portraying bok gyu hyun is an amazing second male lead to mention him importantly as his entered the life of jae yeon in a funny way but he was a healing character for her, falling for her unexpectedly while they started on bad term in their first encounter when he was attacking her novels but the progression of their relationship was so fantastic from enemies to lovers they added more beauty to this rom-com alongside the first leads!!!

I liked the most among this drama the episode 11 was the turnpoint that made me rating it 10 when I started with 8 then 9.5 but couldn't stand just to give it a complete mark still seeing the amazing acting of han ji hyun when really portraying the role of the girl being afraid from her evil father and screaming in his face and the scene where bok gyu hyun hurried for saving her from the grip of her criminal father and how son hae young though knowing the father of nam jae yeon being the killer of hae young's father, she couldn't gave up on her foster sister cause jae yeon is innocent but their sisterhood was stronger than anything could be happening to shake it!!!

the scene of hae young letting ji uk going in his way for not being restricted in this fake marriage was so painful for both of them but the end shown that no matter it takes long time being separated their true love will make them being together again cause they are needing each other at every moment...

the annoying scenes for me was when hae young discovered that kim ji uk was one of the last forster childs her mother raised him, she threw a tantrum over it as she shouldn't did it when it wasn't his guilt to be abandoned by his parents and the scene of bok gyu hyun wanted to firing kim ji uk from the company just for being his half brother and illegitimate child of his father and how that affected hae young to be fired too and first leads were forced to divorce for her to stay in her position at work but all these events vanished when didn't lasted for a long time as the story was carrying beautiful and magical moments to fix all the problems happened between all characters to bring ultimate sweetness while watching it so it is deserving 10 with merit that shouldn't be missed!!!!

I liked all the support characters especially ahn woo jae who though cheating on son hae young but he was a great character added but his facial expressions were so hilarious and liked the scene how hae young dumped him being so powerful in addition to kwon yi rin who was so lovely and amazing character and cha hui song the adoptive sister of hae young acting so good to portray what is the meaning of real family though not being blood related!!!

episode 12 though was saddening at the start when running the funeral of hae young's mother and being painful moments but it was so impressive to see a relastic acting for hae young whether being funny or sad but as this drama is titled to be a rom-com so the funny side of the story didn't leave it till the last moment of the drama!!! it was so smart after adding grief moments to the story how the funny side was included again to not make a melancholic ambiance in the final so that twist was so greatly done!!!!
