Enjoyable stupid rom-com drama!

You can arguably divide this drama into 2 parts: The first half of the show which centers around the romance and the second half which centers around the industry. The first half was more enjoyable for me but I was still entertained by the second part.To be honest despite its flaws, I still had a fun time with this drama. It's a simple lighthearted k-drama that don't take to much energy from you. Down below I'll go into some pros and cons with the drama!

Pros:
- Likable characters; Tbh both the main leads could easily have turned annoying for me but they never did. Prior to watching this show, I've heard negative things about Kim Young daes acting but I think he did a decent job here at least. And Lee Sung kyung is Lee Sung kyung, she's always good.
- Genuinely funny at times. it's pretty rare that I find k-dramas funny, probably because the comedy gets lost in the translation, but I actually laughed a few times during the show.
- It's just fun ok? Like thats it, it's a fun and lighthearted show which is exactly what I needed when watching it.

Cons:
- Pointless villains: Non of the "villains" in the show had a believable motive. It felt forced into the script just to have some conflict and fill out the episodes.
- Maybe one-too many couples and characters: There where times in the show where I was just like "what is the purpose of this couple/character?". I was tbh only invested in one of the side couples and could do without with the rest, as they didn't add anything to the plot or overall enjoyment of the show.
- Could have been a few episodes shorter: It dragged a bit by the end with all the different "villain" story arcs, got boring.
- To wrap it up: The plot is pretty badly written and presented. Don't watch this if you're looking for a masterpiece is writing and directing.
