Fangirling + mature romance = I like very much!

Being a serious kpop fan, I was intrigued by this show. What an enjoyable drama!

What I liked:
1) Fangirling aspect was done tastefully. This drama showcased the positive and negative side of fangirling. I like that main character Deok Mi is a professional in mid-level position.
2) Family theme was prevalent in this series. It's wonderful to see love that knows no bounds in the case of Nam Eun Gi and the Sung family.
3) Wow, the romance scenes made me hot. Kim Jae Wook and Park Minyoung's kissing scenes set me on fire.

What I disliked:
1) Childhood friends trope - gosh I wish they hadn't used this trope.
2) Nam Eun Gi was a manbaby. Compared to the more mature and sophisticated Ryan Gold, Eun Gi wouldn't complement Deok Mi. Gosh Ahn Bo Hyun really enjoyed playing this type of characters (Her Private Life, Yumi's Cell, Flex x Cop)
3) The second half of the drama isn't as strong nor interesting as the first half.
4) Cindy was an interesting character at first then her character became stagnant and not fleshed out.

Favourite scene:
When Deok Mi discovered Ryan Gold's secret identity and he asked her to teach him to become a fanboy. I love that the scene started off humourous then became sexy.
