Watch with a cup of tea on Saturday, it's slice of life romance drama.

This drama piqued my interest because the promo said about "typical romcom". This sets my expectation on the right level as I don't expect them to have a big life and death plot or epic twist.
The great things of this drama imo is the chemistry. It build up, it breathes and let the couple talk a lot, stealing glances, shows their hesitation, shows their willingness to try, shows their disagreement and then makes them fall in love.
They aren't interested on each other right away but you know they will when you left them on the same work trip

What I appreciate the most is this drama feels like slice of life and full of relatable things despite the fairy tale base for the story.
Chaebol X Best Talent romance is not really happen in real life but as individual, the leads felt real.
You have female lead that works hard and prove that she deserve her spot with natural acting from the female lead.
You also got a very cliche male lead who actually listen to people around him and acted so endearing by the male lead.

I watch and finish the drama for this character and feel like life can be beautiful too and in my personal experience, strangely super relatable.
Perfect after a long hard day for me.
I think what sells it the most is the acting, not just from the main cast but for all of the cast, the supporting cast is dream comes true because they are really good on their own.

This drama has the cons, like the plot can meander to some places to do a side quest, the blatant product placement and the "vacation episode". So yeah if you waiting for the event to happen, it may not be a drama for you but do try, or you can watch the compilation of scenes on youtube to pique your interest.
