This is mostly a romantic drama about frenemies that become lovers that also touches on some heavy topics like suicide, stalker fans, etc. due to the two leads being in the entertainment industry. I really like the premise of the male lead being a celebrity and the female lead working at an entertainment company and it's interesting to get a glimpse behind the scenes so to speak.

For the most part, the show was fun and lighthearted, and featured lots of different celebrities who did cameos but there was some heavy stuff for a few episodes and it felt like the show took an ominous turn in the middle. It makes you think about the crazy stuff that celebrities have to put up with as people in the public eye.

When they were talking about their friend who passed away it reminded me of Jonghyun from Shinee and I wonder if the writers chose to include this plotline to bring attention to the struggles that celebrities face. And even though it wasn't apparent from the beginning, you realize later in the show that their friend's death deeply affected everyone around them in different ways.

Overall, I enjoyed watching the show and looked forward to new episodes each week. The main couple are very cute together and the supporting characters were good too. This feels like a mostly fluffy entertaining drama that dips its toes into heavy topics and then ended on a light note again.
