what can I say except: I. LOVE. THIS.

I started watching this drama with no expectations at all and I ended up finding a gem!

I absolutely love this, there's nothing more I love in this world than a good "enemies to lovers" story, it's my favorite trope and it's perfectly executed here! Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Dae have an AMAZING chemistry, it was awesome to watch them, they were cute, funny, romantic and adorable.

I'm not kidding when I say this has become one of my favorite dramas now. It has a good balance of dramatic, sad but also silly and funny moments, it made me laugh and smile a lot. Oh Han Byul and Gong Tae-song have become one of my favorite couples ever, they're so in love!!! I love how much they know each other, and how deeply they care about each other, especially when they weren't together yet and was still supposed to be in their hate/fighting phase.

The second couple was,,, okay. Not my favorite but what can you do.
What really shines (to me) is the couple formed between the attorney Do Soo-Hyuk and journalist Jo Ki Peum. They are both two amazing characters and I love that they end up together, I didn't see that coming! I was a little scared after Soo-Hyuk got rejected by Han Byeol that he would be cast aside or disappear but instead I love him with journalist Jo, they were super sweet and funny together, honestly I wish they had more screen time.
We have a lot of couples in this dramas (all of them very cute) but lastly I want to talk about the youngsters! They were unbelievably funny, I can't believe those two started hating each other and literally pulling their hair out and at the end they're the only one who [SPOILER!!!!] get married and have a baby lol they were super funny and refreshing to watch, especially the interactions between their managers, those were some of my favorite moments.

WHAT I DIDN'T PARTICULARLY LIKE:

This drama only has two super "dramatic" archs, one with the young anti-fan and one with the creepy housekeeper, and both felt a little rushed in their solution. The stalkerish housekeeper storyline was a bit weird to begin with, and with all the big deal she made of giving him trauma and "something to remember her by", she was quickly forgotten and never really dealt with, like she just disappeared and walked away like that?? okay. ..
At least the anti-fan faced a lawsuit, and I know he was like "do you need a reason to hate a celebrity?" well, yes?? he made such a big deal of hating Tae-song because of what happened with Lee Yoon Woo, I thought he would be at least a friend or a brother of Lee Yoon Woo but no.
Same thing with Lee Yoon Woo ex's manager, that sh*t was wild. Man kept sending ominous messages to Tae-song for years and when he was confronted he was just like "you know what? yeah I guess... goodbye i shall never be seen again"

like, for a kdrama most of the dramas are solved pretty quickly but whatever lol

ANYWAY, the cast in this is absolutely amazing, I think they did a wonderful job. Like I was saying earlier, Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Dae have great chemistry, but I really enjoyed every characters and relationship, like the bromance between Tae-song and Do Soo-Hyuk or Tae-song and his manager Byun Jung Yeol, as well as the agency's boss or Han Byul's team colleagues gossiping about her love story behind her back. lol

All in all, it was a more than enjoyable and adorable drama, you should definitely give it a try!!
