I'm in love with this drama - everything about it has been done well.

I stumbled across this on Netflix and it's only available for another few days so thought I'd give it a go. Now I'm desperately chugging it and feel compelled to express how good it is. 8 episodes in and reached that perfect point when the leads are beginning to fall for each other without quite realising it.
Apart from support actors Lee Do Hyun and Jo Hyun Shik (playing Chan's friends), I haven't come across any of the cast before, but I like every single one. The two male leads are lovely (ugggh - Yang Se Jong's beautiful face..) and I'm adding Dr. Romantic to my neverending watchlist seeing as they're both in it.
I often get aggravated by female leads which makes me feel crap and judgmental - but Shin Hye Sun is a sweetheart. Despite her character basically being a 17-yr-old stuck in a 30-yr-old's body, Seo Rii somehow avoids being dopey and simpering.
I also like Ye Ji Won who plays Jennifer.
There are some lovely aerial shots of the house that capture characters in different spaces. It's looks like a stage set which ties into the story too. I'm enjoying it so much I'm tempted to quit while I'm on the cusp of it all possibly going downhill.
