A cotton candy drama to the broken heart

What will I say of this piece of sugar with honey? This drama came to make your heart flutter and give you the false hope of being in love with a supernatural rich, sexy, and handsome fox. It's the perfect call to the ones who don't wanna suffer or get angry. It's the cotton candy of 2021 Dramaland.

I'll start with the amazing performance of our stars. Lee Hye Ri is a pearl and to see her on the screen it's always fun and different. Lee Dam was an amazing character, and for me was the gold of this show. I love strong female leads and the ones who don't follow the pattern of the suffering lady. This totally matches with Shin Woo Yeo's personality. I was afraid that he could be the kind of male lead always rigid and with the overprotected speech, but his personality was pretty good and solid, and Jang Ki Yong keeps impressing me with his skills. The chemistry between these two was incredible, and I forgot that Hye Ri had a boyfriend many times watching the bts.

Other highlight was my cute couple Hye Sun and Jae Jin. My gosh, these two kill it! Kang Ha Na was amazing in "Start-Up", but now I could see even more how good she is, and I hope that she gets another drama soon as the female lead. Hye Sun was so fun and light, and I laugh a lot at her foolishness. Her friendship with Woo Yeo was also an amazing thing and I loved to see them together fighting all the time. Kim Do Wan is a baby and this character was made for him. I created the fanfic inside my head since "Start-Up", so this was my dream coming true. Bae In Hyuk is another baby since "Kiss Goblin", but this character was just terrible and I felt nauseated every time that I saw that moron sunbae appearing.

Amazing things said, I will point some not-so-good stuff. The first episode was very interesting, and I was excited to see the main plot developing, and the way how they do the waiting part was incredible, but... The waiting never ended. I thought all the problems that the drama presented were very superficial and sometimes even illogical. Episode 12 was the lowest point for me and give me the feeling of "Why this is a problem? If is a problem, why was solutioned so fast?" and this kind of thought. It wasn't terrible, it was just frustrating if you are a person who is used to watch many dramas.

I will put this one as a pretty good one (★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★) because I really think that an initiating drama addicted will think this incredible, and a more experienced will find it at least fun and well done. I hope the best to the actors and I will highly recommend this one to my friends who are entering now in Dramaland.
