I have to say first off that I do tend to rate rather highly. However, although the storyline is your typical guy moves in with girl and they fall in love, the lead actors chemistry is undeniably amazing. There were times when I seriously wondered whether they were actually together for real. I would love if there was a part 2 to this and we could see how their lives unfolded after the end. I seriously recommend this drama, it was very very good. The lead actors challenged the idea of whether their supposed love was actually just a habit between opposite genders which was frustrating but at the same moment riveting. What I liked: The supporting roles were not evil or malicious or corrupt or trying to break the other pair apart. But rather I came to like the supporting actress more because she seemed so innocent and kind whereas the lead actress did sometimes become annoying with her excessive whining and we were shown a lot of her bad qualities, but this made the drama feel more real as if I was watching the lives of a group of friends and workers. The main actor was kind and caring and just amazing! You have to watch it. Their kiss was sizzling and wasn't only once and was definitely unlike many k-dramas where there is only one kiss after 8 episodes, and the kiss feels like it is between friends. What I didn't like: Sometimes the supporting actress was not amazing when attempting to play sad emotions but loved watching the development of her relationship with her boyfriend, Wei Ting. Usually I'm not a massive fan of the music in dramas but I really liked the OST but that'll obviously be different for different people.
