The first episode had me boiling.

The plot summary looked fine to me although it's quite cliché. BUT, what actually set the mood for me was the first ep.

It's not anymore whether this drama will turn out "okay" or "too cliché and disappointing" BUT it's whether they will do this right or at least convince me on how things will turn out or I'd really be disappointed.

Very well, I actually really liked it! It's not the drama per se but the feeling you get from it that's great, which I find interesting. This is like one of the "best feels" drama.

Despite clichés, the plot did not disappoint, it wasn't draggy, and it went well.

Major thanks to its STRONG FEMALE LEAD! Yes, please. We need more of them! (enough of these dumb too naive pushover annoying FCs like c'mon it's 2020 and you're still there :/)

I really love the chemistry between the leads! If you want butterflies in your stomach, this is definitely for you! I'm surprised that despite the sweet stuff going on, they did not make me extremely cringe, and I thank them for that! (heaven knows how I hate cringey dramas) They were really just natural so it wasn't hard to watch. They're actually cute ^^

The casts did well and they all had their own developments. I did not find anyone so lacking to cause a major point deduction. I'd say the FL had the best character development. The actress did great. I love how she did not lack tears and emotions.

This definitely is not just a rom-com drama but also a slice of life.

side note: editing sucks at 'singing scenes'... it was a pain watching the singer and the song not in sync! And it didn't even look like they're trying to portray such a scene. It's just that they're not really in sync! It spoils whatever emotions they're trying to bring out.
