I watched this on a whim and didn't expect to finish everything but I did and it was worth it!
First of all, the poster is very misleading. It's ironic how Eric was smiling on the poster but he's miserable in the whole drama lmao. This ain't a romcom, more like a melo romance with a side of comedy. I'm glad I was fooled tho bc if I would've known this was melo, I wouldn't have watched this as I'm not into melo. There's tons of comedic relief tho so if you're into romcoms, this is still a must watch!

- acting!! This show definitely brought out acting chops of everyone! I've always adored Eric Mun and he did a great job in this one, hope he'd be in a new drama soon! I'm now also a fan of Seo Hyun Jin!
- character development: everyone had a redeeming quality in them. OHY#2 may come off annoying at first bc she was too aggressive but yknow whattt girls can be like that too!! What? Only guys can be aggressive when it comes to love? Heck no. And that kind of love is obv what Do Kyung needed bc he's MISERABLE and needed push, a lot of push. I'm also glad that they didn't change PDK's cold outside persona in the end bc that's who he is, what i mean is, at least they didn't change the character's individuality.
- flow of story: everything happened for a reason. It never felt draggy to me...well, maybe a little bit by the end but the HY & DK chose to be together by then so it kept me going and assured me everything is going to be alright! No unnecessary makjangs.
- every characters mattered and contributed a story to the drama. No one felt unnecessary.
- music!! Loved the ost!!
• • • THE NOT-SO-GOOD • • •
- the looming "phenomenon" that DK was waiting for to happen kept me from being too happy while watching but since he said he's just going to keep going, I kept on going too without worrying much about it!
- some lovey dovey scenes between Eric and SHJ felt kinda awkward bc it didn't feel genuine. Lol. I feel like they can do intense romance but once it gets mushy and stuff, it's kinda awkward. Idk if it's the acting or intentional. I'm not talking about the kissing and hugging and cuddling bc they're really good at that but more like when they have sweet convos and stuff. Maybe it's the dialogue? Idk, it just felt a bit awkward!
- Han Tae Jin deserved better!!!!!! They should've connected us with him more. I felt like his character was so disconnected in the drama that he seems like in a diff world. They let us get to know OHY#1 but didn't get to let us give more than a glimpse of HTJ & OHY#2's story. I felt bad for him, really.
That's all i could think abt rn. I watch dramas for entertainment so I'm not going to say anything political or noble here. This one is definitely worth the watch despite the flaws! Give the first 4 or 5 eps a try! Then stay for the kissing and hugging ;) (lol srsly they kiss and hug so good! now i want a hug :3)
