TL;DR - A cute story about a girl finding her dad. A pretty easy watch, but not without some bumps in the beginning. The real draw of the show is our ML and how he gets the girl.

This is a cute story about a girl who sets off to find her dad and the surprises that come along with it. I thought the plot was pretty straight-forward and heart-warming, and definitely my favorite parts of the show was the moments when Nara was with her dad. Both clearly have trauma concerning the situation that caused him to leave her when she was young which was sad, but just made it that much better when they found each other again. The drama concerning Nara's family made a good watch, although I could've honestly done without her mother. Her mom was my least liked character in the show with how selfish she was, although she did redeem herself a little in the end. I guess I can't really blame her for how she is without mentioning the grandpa, who enabled her behavior. But still.

The baddies in this show are kind of a joke. Everybody pretty much knows how bad they are (which makes Nara's mom look even more stupid for being with the dad baddie) and their role was just to be the baddies and give the show more plot than just a girl finding her dad. Both were dumb and more or less got their just desserts at the end.

Now the star of the lakorn is obviously our ML, Singh. Singh is just soooo swoony and the ideal male lead; he's devoted to our FL, supports her in every way, is pushy but not aggressive, not afraid to tell her his feelings, mature and is just a straight up good guy. It's endearing to watch him love and care for Nara and it makes me wish I could find my own Singh in real life. That's why I feel bad when Singh pours out his heart to Nara and she just...nods. I felt like Nara was very restricted in telling her feelings to Singh, although I guess some of her actions did make me believe she cares for him. Regardless, I wish she would affirm his feelings and not look so awkward when he's affectionate to her.

I will warn you that if you plan to watch this, Nara is kinda annoying in the first three episodes. I like to think it's out of desperation for her dad, although I wish she handled that whole situation better and was less stubborn. After episode three she does mellow out more but doesn't lose her backbone. She's also super cute and small, which makes the height difference between her and Singh adorable haha.

I really liked the music here, I felt the songs fitted the theme of the lakorn very well. The song sung by the young girl and her dad was my favorite out of all of them. If you're looking for an easy-breezy show with sweet romance then I'd recommend you watch this. I don't rewatch things often, but if I were to I'd rewatch for the Singh + Nara moments.
