I gave the main couple a try, I really did. They started off as what must have been an attempt at an enemies to lovers, except it was one-sided and the supposed hate kinda fell off from one episode to another. The show then started a series of convoluted attempts to have them interact that didn't really feel very genuine and at some point I even forgot what their goal was in the first place. They don't even seem to have any individual personalities, much less any chemistry together.
The side couple though, oh boy. Now THAT was an enemies to lovers. If the show was only this couple I'd give it a 10/10 because nothing about them was forced. Unfortunately since this drama involved two couples, they were a bit rushed towards the end but nevertheless the process of their hatred evolving into them tolerating each other to them liking each other's presence to friendship to LOVE was SO satisfying. Not to mention they're their own people outside of their relationship which is a big plus.
(Thank you thai dramas for your exquisite kiss scenes. I love you thai dramas. Thank you for doing god's work.)
If anyone were to pick up this drama I'd recommend skipping the scenes involving the main couple if you don't like them after episode 3 but that also might just be me.

Really strong start, if you're looking for a workplace romance then this is definitely for you. Though I'd like to emphasize that my high rating is purely for the main couple-- they have SO much chemistry from start to finish, and I love myself a bickering couple!
Story: Good start, but around the middle, I guess they ran out of things that could happen so every single man in the drama started getting interested in Go Ho? It was kinda insufferable. Every scene for me that doesn't involve the main couple/ Go Ho's family life is an easy skip. I'm glad she wasn't a pushover, sack of potatoes throughout it though; most of the time, at least. Besides that, there's no real story for this. It's a lighthearted romantic comedy through and through.
Acting: FANTASTIC! I LOVED that I could enjoy Go Ho's personality even when it didn't involve any of the characters. She's such a breath of fresh air; Straight forward, honest, both cute and mature. Even the weird cast that pursued her had their own neat touch, whether I liked it or not. Her and Tae Ho's relationship was so cute, it's the only thing that kept me sane through the unecessary scenes.
Music: Pretty ok, the ending is pretty memorable and there were about three different atmospheric songs that got kinda old, but that's the same for most dramas so I forgive it.
Overall, very neat would recommend for the main couple I love them !!
[Minor spoiler!] Why on earth did Ji Hoon's dad have to randomly die for Go Ho to appreciate her mom?? I've never seen two such weirdly placed deaths in a romantic comedy drama like this before lol I wish they'd found a better way to end her family arc, I actually ended up liking them.. One moment the main couple are kissing and in the next BOOM, funeral lmao,, Not to mention the poor second lead not only tried pursuing her again, his dad fuckin DIED, AND he got rejected, it's so silly to me lmaoao
