Makers should've stuck to the central themes properly
This show started out pretty strong, the introduction to everything was great, around episode 12 or so, the makers got confused because they tried to do a lot at once, and it all got tangled and didn't make a lot of sense. The show tried to be a good blend of emotional connection, intrigue, mystery, romance, family, comedy, etc. But it felt like the makers lost the plot halfway through and added random elements without any explanation. Overall it felt quite rushed and senseless.It is not a perfect drama by any means, I just think the makers should have focused a little bit more on the story so that there could have been some structure and at times the leads' relationship felt a little fake, the relationship felt a little rushed to me but their chemistry made up for it. Had there been more focus on the characters and less on the all sorts of useless things in the story this could've been a 10/10 for me.
I rate a drama based on the entertainment it gives me, while being so senseless at times, it managed to keep me hooked and this is the first drama I have watched in a while after a slump so it does hold a bit of an emotional value to me. The only time when I felt like wtf is going on was in episode 15. The filmography was beautiful, the acting was pretty good, chemistry was there, despite it feeling a little rushed, the romance was good.
Go in with no expectations and you'll likely enjoy it!

A comfortable, semi-predictable and well done romcom set in a unique setting!
The plot of this drama wasn't necessarily unique, it was the usual comfortable , semi predictable rom com in an interesting setting. Even though we have had dramas with the main character being a celebrity, we haven't seen the perspective of the staff. I found the setting very enjoyable with a unique job and being able to see a dramatized version of what goes on behind the scenes. I also enjoyed how competent everyone was, there were no silly blunders for the sake of the plot. At times, the drama also showed the struggles of a person in the public eye and the way their privacy is violated.The chemistry of the characters was great, all the couples were adorable and the characters very eccentric but entertaining. The filming is well done, the visuals are great, the pace is great even though the realization of feelings between the leads does seemed a little bit unnatural at times. The frenemy trope was really well done and there was no unnecessary love triangle, I love that the characters could resolve conflicts in a mature yet humorous manner.
This drama is amazing if going in, you have the expectations of a well done romcom! It's amazing to re-watch and is really light hearted and entertaining.
