Okay, this is actually a hard one. And I'll tell you why.
The story sounded really good at the beginning! And in my opinion, the drama really has potential to be a well-written and funny romance with lots of comical elements. But - and it's a but in capital letters - the potential has NOT been exploited. What I mean is, that there are only eight episodes à ~20min, therefore, the story develops way too fast, and I, personally, couldn't follow it. The whole story actually didn't make sense to me at all, even though I knew what it was about. Also, the subtitles really made it hard to understand (although I have to say, that I'm always really grateful when an Asian movie/drama/whatever is translated!).

But I'm also very conflicted, because I enjoyed the acting and the actors! They main actors have a really good dynamic, the series isn't afraid of skinship and the kisses were fantastic (I hate those series where the kissing-scenes are long and awkward, I mean, come on).

All in all, the series isn't bad! But it's very confusing, the storyline isn't really existent, and it's moving way too fast. I'd actually not recommend it, but maybe it's just my personal opinion!
