Fun, charming, great characters, beautiful love story and awesome character development.

This show was an unexpected surprise I never thought I'd like it as much as I did when I first saw the trailer. Though something drew me to it. I'm glad I watched it though I now wish I had watched it later lmao. It's hard to say goodbye to it tbh.

Some people may not want to give this show a chance because of it's big focus on business or the age gap between the protagonists but I'm here to tell you, please do. You won't regret it! Every little story arc is important to the plot and the characters development.

I think this is one of the only recent dramas I've watched where I haven't been annoyed by either the FL or the ML. They're both lovable characters and adorable too. I can't count the times I laughed watching their interactions. Their banter is the best part in the beginning. Watching that turn into a powerful love later is even better!

I love how their love story was handled. it grew from dislike to a strong love where both made sacrifices in order to protect each other. They also grew into better people because they fell in love. Seriously the character development in this drama is awesome. The ML goes from being an immature brat who barely has responsibility for anything to a strong, confident, savvy and hardworking business man. From the little we saw of the future time he makes his father's company a success. The FL goes from a cold, kinda rude, workaholic into a happier, full of life and in love, strong woman. We also see this thru her younger self in 2010. She keeps her independence throughout the drama which is good. Seriously it was a pleasure watching these characters go thru the journey they do.

If I only have one complaint it's the villain. He's definitely a mustache twirling, over the top, cartoon villain. The writers tried to make him more realistic but I think they failed.

The cast was really good and the chemistry between the FL & ML was on point! I also enjoyed that the age gap between them isn't an issue. I think it's only mentioned once and that's it. It's really other factors that pull them apart but even then those problems are resolved quickly. A plus for that.

The OST was definitely addicting I have all the songs stuck in my head, even their little love theme lol.

One of my faves of the year and I'll definitely be rewatching this one again. I already miss it, so rewatch coming soon haha.

Overall 10/10 from me.
