Hands down my favorite part of this drama was that it wasn't cliche at all. From the love triangles to the plot, everything felt fresh and I didn't find myself guessing everything correctly like I normally do watching the usual predictable kdrama. To be honest, I really wanted her to end up with her ex, but I wasn't unhappy with how everything turned out because it was very well executed and even realistic. As someone who's very into astrology, I have to say the creators did a great job at capturing the signs with the exception of Pisces. I am a Pisces and frankly I felt insulted lol because I don't understand why they made him a fake person when Pisces are known to be genuinely emotional. In fact, for a lot of the show I thought the guy from the cafe was a pisces. Besides that, other signs hit the nail on the head such as leo, aquarius, aries, and scorpio. However, I felt like some of them were too rushed like virgo and I also didn't like that she doesn't actually sleep with all the men or even most of them because that was the whole point of the erotic column and it would have taken the modern boldness of the plot to an even higher level. I would have also like to have known some of the female characters signs although I am almost certain Hae Rae was an Aries because of her persistence and determination for a specific love and un-empathetic personality coupled with the fact that Aries is the opposite sign of Libra (which is the main characters sign). That being said, I really hated Hae Rae and felt like slapping her just about every time she appeared on scene. However, i think she was written well. Now, I hate to focus on this, but Mi Roo was really badly cast/dressed for the role ti the point it was ridiculous. Only twice did I feel like she was dressed for her character. I didn't think she was pretty or sexy enough for her personality and encounters with men. I'm not hating because she has short hair (i have short hair , too) but it didn't suit her face at all. And if they had to absolutely go with that hair, they should have changed the wardrobe. I didn't really believe that those men would have all been so attracted to her off the bat because of her looks. Especially men like Alex since aries is superficial and all that. Still, i don't agree with other commenters saying Tanya should have been the main character. She is a leo so of course it feels like she is the center of attention, but she would have been too easy going and experienced for the plot which was about discovery and all that. She outshined the main character because they didn't make Mi Roo attractive enough to stand next to her. Her love triangle experience and the conclusion of it was very well done and well written and super cute!
