Such a cute and fun watch!
This show gave me all the butterflies! If you love a good guy chases girl, then this show is for you. So many cute moments. The second couple was super cute as well. Lots of time given to the romance development, without any mean girl moments. The romantic moments also start quickly, so you don't have to wait long. If you are looking for a show that gives you all the feels, that isn't too heavy, and actually has some smart dialogue, then definitely give this a watch. My only criticism of the show is that it probably could've ended an episode or two earlier. This was my first C Drama and I loved it!Was this review helpful to you?
Great love triangle!
I'm not sure why this show has so many negative reviews. If you like an angsty love triangle, then this is a great show. Yes, the story is a bit unbelievable, but the chemistry between the actors and the angst makes up for it. The love triangle lasts almost the entire show, and the way that the ML looks at the FL makes my heart melt. Such believable acting and chemistry between the two leads! I was expecting a terrible show based on the reviews and I ended up being addicted and finished it quickly.I will say that I was not as interested in the mystery portion, so I cannot speak to that part of the show, but if you are looking for a great love triangle, this is a good one.
The music was above average as well, and the sets and clothing were all modern and tasteful. Really, just a good watch!

A wild ride!
This show is interesting and entertaining. It is really two shows. I wanted a light romantic comedy, and this fulfilled that, for the first half of the show. The second half of the show is a melodrama that I wasn't expecting, but that I enjoyed. Both parts are entertaining and enjoyable, but in very different ways. It is an odd shift in the show.The best part of the show for me was Aaron Yan. I have never watched him before, but he is amazing! I believed him when he was arrogant, tender, happy, and gut-wrenchingly vulnerable. I really felt his angst. Although I loved him most as Xiau Lu, his angst was so amazing to watch when he was Lu Tian Xing. Such a great actor to pull of both parts so brilliantly.
As for the worst part of the show, I think that it dragged on a bit too long. I found myself fast-forwarding through some parts (I mean how many slow walks to dramatic music do you really need?) and the last few episodes that didn't concentrate on the romance were a bit long. But, overall, I enjoyed the ride!
One more comment is that I read in other reviews that the reveal wasn't handled well, and I'm not sure why. I thought the reveal was entertaining. If you are looking for a cute male chases female that turn into an angsty melodrama, this one is for you!

This show has everything that you could be looking for in a K-Drama!
This is my 12th K-drama, and I don't think that I will find one that I like more. It has the right about of romance, action, comedy, and mystery to keep you watching. The romance was sweet and sincere, and his jealousy (not too much) was adorable. The fight scenes were awesome and I love watching a guy who can take of things! This is an absolute must watch, and I don't know what took me so long. I usually like romantic comedies, and seriously, without being the major focus, their romance is one of my favs!Was this review helpful to you?
Cute and Fun Watch
High End Crust is a quick cute and fun watch. I really like the short episodes for binging. The characters were fun, and it had more comedy than other romantic comedies. I particularly enjoyed that there was not any meddling parents, and it just focused on the main characters trying to understand their feelings (in funny ways). The main characters were entertaining, particularly the male lead. The relationship between the CEO and his section chief was cute as well. Would recommend if you are looking for something light and fun that moves quickly.Was this review helpful to you?
