I absolutely loved this drama for its simplicity and sincerity. It doesn't try to give you more than what it is, which is a sweet and fluffy rom com. The leads oozed with chemistry and I never got bored watching them. This drama stays away from extreme angst, evil antagonist, and unnecessary break ups which made it a refreshing and easy watch.

It does take the leads a long time to get together but for once (shockingly), I didn't mind! There were enough sweet moments and quiet gazes between them that kept me interested and looking forward to the next episode. The time they spent together gaming and all their fate-like encounters were well choreographed and I saw why a beautiful idol star would fall in love with a college student. The ML did a great job, as his confidence, charisma, and boyish charm had me smiling and understanding why the FL would be reduced to a puddle around him. I also liked the portrayal of the FL who was independent and strong, yet she was vulnerable and leaned (but was not dependent) on those around her. The ML and FL both came across as equals in the relationship and I absolutely loved their natural chemistry (on and off screen!).

On a side note, the second female lead's struggle with depression was well done and I appreciated the story line. Depression is an uphill battle and right when you think you're okay, something can trigger you and take you right back to square one. It's not something you can just get over because everyone around you thinks its time to let go. It's a personal battle and not one you can fight on your own. I liked seeing how those around her supported her and stuck by her to the end.
