With just one ticket, you can find comfort~

Plot: An art expert and a pig expert accidentally met each other on Netherlands and love blossomed. The plot is simple and easy to follow with just a hint of mystery but still predictable, however, the lines/dialogues(especially the male lead's) were good in the drama that unnecessary misunderstanding didn't happen.

Acting: Let me start with Park Gyu Young(Da Li), which, I think, is the weakest link among all of them. Her emotional scenes weren't on point that made me unmoved with her struggles/sentiments, however, she still maintained her elegance and classy temperament all through out the drama. All the sort-of villains(the woman who lives with Mu-Hak's father, Mu-hak's brother-in-law, 2 colleagues of Da Li and her drug junkie cousin), did great in annoying me, in which they made their characters very convincing. Kwon Yool(Director Tae Jin) however, stood out the most for me, with his impressive acting. I will never forget his face when he shouted 'Ko Jeo' to Mu-hak's mother-in-law and his tantrum scenes. I kinda feel bad that his suits are too limited(i think he only has two, black and blue suits) that didn't quite represented 'Segi' Group well and made him look like a sleazy businessman without power. While Kim Min Jae's(Mu-hak) suits are all masterpieces and my most favorite is his red one on the second episode. Da Li's outfits are mostly so-so, although with good color combination, the style isn't just in line with mine. Lastly, Kim Min Jae, I must say, is the strongest link of the drama, with his various expressions and even though he was 60% shouting in the drama, I still find him very charming and that dimples of him, I just wanna grab it from my computer. Haha!

Music: They have cute OST's and sound effects(even the classical songs) that are appropriate with the scenes.

Re-watch Value: All of Mu hak's scenes and his comfortable and cute chemistry with Da Li.

Overall: 8.5-9 just because of the ending. I love the ending so much, I watched it twice. The finale was an unexpected one which gave me a great overall feeling for the drama despite having it's flat plot and lackluster performance of the female lead. I also love how they showed the mature relationship of Da Li and her cocky darling despite him being clueless in a lot of things yet a serious business-minded guy. They captured the cliché 'opposites attract' trope very well. It's a decent binge-able Rom Com if you're looking for something cute and charming on a rainy day.

Side note: The bright and polished filter used for female lead was too obvious which can be distracting and unhelpful to her facial acting.
