Romantic comedy is really not my favorite genres, but this really didn't feel like a romantic comedy. Not that there wasn't romance or comedy, but the story felt more real. It was like I was watching the lives of these people instead of watching a drama. The story seemed very realistic. There are people in this world that are traumatized to the point of wanting to cut contact so they won't be hurt. I'm sure many people could empathize with Go Dok Mi and that is why this story is so good. The actors are out of this world. I am a fan of Park Shin Hye. I thought she depicted the character's pain and ambivalence perfectly. Then there is the man that pulls her into the world with his quirky charm. I don't know what other actor could pull off this over the top cuteness as well as Yoon Shi Yoon. I was so excited to see Kim Ji Hoon back in dramas!!! His portrayal of Oh Jin Rak/Oh Jae Won was well done. The other actors were also cute. I enjoyed the couple of the webtoon manager, Kim Seul Gi and Oh Don Hoo, Go Kyung Pyo the best. They were just too cute. The up and coming Japanese actor, Kouki Mizuta also did well, but there was little screen time for him, so I'm not sure how he will do in the future. The music was ok...nothing stands out. I probably won't rewatch this. I definitely think that if you enjoy romance, then you should watch this.
