Loved this 'office romance'-themed dating show!!

AMAZING!!!! From someone who enjoys dating shows, this was one of the best shows I've seen so far in terms of the romance, the plot twists, the tension/drama, the personal connections between everyone, the friendships, the rivalries, the cute and funny moments, and how realistic and natural everything felt. The production quality was also SUPERB with GREAT editing, OST (Korean city pop (!!)), and setting. The office setting made the events for getting closer feel a lot more natural and less forced than having the contestants battle it out in a ring and and it was a very fresh style for a dating show. There were love triangles, true loves, sweet moments, and impressive moments. I had a huge smile in pretty much every episode and it was great to watch leading up to Valentine's Day lol. Overall very happy with it and WILL watch again sometime.

A vivid portrayal of the flow and interwovenness of Time and the interdependence of fate and effort

The story was amazing, plot lines connected so well, very nice pacing, really sweet/wholesome scenes sprinkled in, and some pleasant comedic relief to top it off. And I liked every character in the story, as throughout the story you begin to slowly understand how we got to this place and what their motivations/backgrounds are.

I will 100% NEED to rewatch this sometime later. This is my 3rd J-Drama and my favorite one so far. I had tears fill my eyes during two or three scenes and that usually doesn't happen. The OST was also really good and fit the scenes well, adding to the emotional impact of them. I'm seriously blown away by how good this was. It pulled at the heartstrings so much (in a good way). This was also a drama very grounded in reality: the retrograde amnesia symptoms were accurately portrayed and there were accurate, down-to-Earth portrayals of real-life events (i.e. the pandemic, etc.), so it was something I could kind of relate to as well and/or look up the events to learn what they are.

Overall, if you enjoy stories that have beautiful use of literary/directorial elements (such as foreshadowing, imagery, cinematography), have a realistic setting, and a really sweet romance story with great acting and chemistry, then I highly recommend this drama.

An Amazing Light-Hearted Romance Comedy

This is now one of my top favorite K-dramas.

It's a romantic comedy that is funny, light-hearted but has some drama to move the plot forward, **amazing** FL who is so cute and loyal, and a really funny/cool ML. Their chemistry was really nice too and the romance was sweet. The fight scenes were also so well done with the special effects and coordination.

If you're looking for something comedic (but not too goofy), with romance (but not melodramatic or too heavy), and great production quality, then I highly recommend.

Also, I heard that there were offensive parts to some people, but I really don't understand why because I loved every single episode and was not offended in the slightest. It's meant to be a fun show, not serious.

Will absolutely rewatch this series when I want to smile and have a good laugh.
