This web series has romance, bromance,comedy,Kpop stars and some quick cameos that you might miss if you don't pay close attention (warning for anyone watching because Jung Kyung Ho is in it he is merely a 10 second cameo in a few episodes and has no substantial role, sorry).

Story: Same old same old- jerk guy falls for the naive country girl despite himself and ruins every chance at the relationship by being a jerk. Nothing new, but I always get sucked in anyway so....

Acting/Cast: Great. I was especially surprised that some of the Kpop stars were as good as they were. It can go either way most times. I wasn't familiar with any of Monsta X's previous acting work (if there is any) so I was happy with how they played the overworked boy band. Such a stretch -_- And Yoon Bora was adorable, no complaints here.

Music: Daebak! There is nothing that gets on my nerves more than when a drama is centered around the dance or music world and the songs are crap. Not the case here! Especially since Monsta X is involved and performed their own music. I downloaded it immediately after I finished the episode it was in.

Rewatch Value: Although i really enjoyed this one I much prefer Noble, My Love as far as rom com webseries, but this was a decent one wrapped in a couple of hours worth of marathoning.

Overall: It wasnt the best, but darn it, it gave me the warm and fuzzies. So if you're in that kind of mood I suggest this and say enjoy!

I wanna start by saying I don't get why people are lashing on this minidrama for being cliche-ish. Well... it's written in the synopsis what the story is all about and if you guys don't read it beforehands, I do. Expecting a drama not to be cliché is like expecting to breathe just fine on the moon or something - all of them have a heavy load of clichés we are all tired of seeing. It isn't different with this show although I find High End Crush to be refreshing. I believe all romcom dramas could be well shrunken down to a 20-episode minidrama like this one otherwise they'll feel draggy, way too melo and boring at some point. This doesn't happen here. Rather than being frustrated yelling "Just kiss already!", I found myself anticipating what his next mistep was going to be.
Good laughs, good laughs... these are rare these days and this show provided me some. The broship going on is also wonderful and funny, you don't feel the need to know their background, there's no rude parenting interruptions or third party's. As for the acting, since this is supposed to be a comedy, the cast is allowed to run it smoothly and whatever would be considered "terrible acting" on serious dramas, is fine in this one. This is my first time watching Il Woo though and I'm completely fallen aback by his skills and charisma. (In the picture below he looks terribly like Park Shin Hye, lol - but in the drama he resembles Lee Jongsuk, I think.)
Perhaps it was the lack of melo that made me enjoy this, I don't know, but I simply loved it! I'm not biased for any of the cast members but I must admit I started this for Monsta X (and got terribly disappointed on that part but.... oh, well.) yet here I stand, in love with the drama. Lee Shieon is amazing and endearing, by the way, pay attention to him.

This is the best web drama I have seen so far.

First of all the actors were amazing, I love Jung Il Woo and he had a great role. There was a also a cameo from Jung Kyung Ho (however too brief). And even all of the stars of Monsta X

The story was pretty average to be honest, but the writers tried to keep it fresh and funny. But I feel the ending could have been a bit better or stretched out some more.

I gave this an 8/10 as a web series, however I feel like this would have made an even better full length drama. Regardless I highly recommend this web series and its definitely a must watch, it doesn't take too long either.

Many mercies for this short drama!
Story - not new - really rather overused lately. Arrogant rich boy-man DESIRES poor girl. Girl finally awakens from silly daze, realizing she likes boy-man.
Acting - Male lead was only reason for watching - love his hands and mouth gestures. Female lead was clueless for the entire time, zoned out to silly land, + her acting was "blerg". The other cast of characters were more childish than female lead (really overacting and silly). Funny part was newscasters were still in their roles from previous drama - irony.
Music - not memorable
ReWatch - Oh heck to the NO! Once was enough and skipped half the eps and still got aggravated by all these actors for this "WTH" did I just spend my time doing drama. Oh yeah - male lead....

I watched it for two reasons--(1) Jung Il Woo, (2) short episodes. I enjoyed it for exactly those two reasons. Jung Il Woo was as fun to watch as I expected and the episodes were short enough that the things I didn't like didn't bother me too much. The main thing I didn't like was Jin Se Yeon. I don't understand why she keeps getting leading roles because I haven't liked her in anything, even Gaksital, which I loved overall. I didn't care for the comic side characters either, but they didn't have enough screen time to be really irritating.

The other things I liked were the story and the music, both of which were better than average. I also liked the little cameos by Jung Kyung Ho and Kim So Yeon.

One of the best kdrama I have ever seen for romance

This drama contains a lot of fluffiness and cuteness coming from the male lead side. His efforts and continuation of his goals to pursuit her is genuine and admirable. As an audience member, we see just how cute the male lead is when he tries his best to obtain her, but as the story goes, she is still indifference and obvious to his approach.
Few things I like about this kdrama:
This is fortunately the few kdrama where there’s no freaking guns pointing at everyone in the room and ready to shoot at time. Screenwriters and directors love those when they see it.

Story: there’s not really a story but it’s really cute. We see the continual effort coming from the male lead in order to attain her. It’s really amazing to see the many sacrifices he has made in order to get her and the continuation of his commendable attempt at trying to be her boyfriend. We also see the love at first sigh, which is even cuter. He set his eyes upon her the moment he lay his eyes on her. She was indeed the “she walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless clime” to him. For this, I love the endless attempts of his praiseworthy love towards her, but she kept on pretending to be indifferent towards the attempt made by him. Overall, I love this story so much; it’s so brilliant to see his heartwarming effort of his for the love of his life.
Character
I love how restraint she is at his love; she’s indeed indifferent toward his affection at times but that verifies how reserve she is towards anyone. In her deepest heart, she probably does love him, but it’s never spoken. She is also independent in nature due to her character of only relying on herself and not depending on those who surrounds her and are able to provide help.
The male lead’s character is also cute his affection toward her at every scene is so cute; any mention of her allows for him to abruptly go insane because he misses her. He fortunately can’t live without her.
The chemistry between the leads is one of the strongest ever.

OST
One of the worst ost ever though, and the editing is unfortunately annoying at times when I watch it. It sometimes drags the show down because the editing ruins the mood and tone of the character. The acting and character made it up

I would rewatch anytime. This is the few kdrama where I would actually rewatch it because it is just so heart warming to see the countless pursuit of the male lead.

Short, cute and funny. A huge fluffball filled with sunshine. That’s how I would describe this web drama.
And an always smiling/giggling/rolling-on-the floor/squeeling idiot on the other side of the screen. That’s how I would describe myself watching these series.

The story is nothing new. On the contrary – it’s full of cliches, stereotypical characters and overused plot lines. What makes it so good then?
Because it was meant to be that way. A drama that you don’t have to take seriously, you don’t have to think too much while watching it. Just sit back and enjoy those funny, sometimes silly romantic cliches that will do both – make your fingers curl in cheesiness and fill you up with that sunny and warm feeling.

The cast is filled with idols and pleasant cameos, and the main actors are great. I won’t elaborate otherwise this might get too biased.. (says the one who could write a 10 page review dedicated to Jung Il Woo’s colarbones or sth... ;p)

Overall – a short and fluffy romance comedy drama for some lazy afternoons or sundays.
Warning – might evoke a serious giggling fit and/or uncontrollable want to roll on the floor. Be sure to warn your roommates. ^^

Tired of your normal cliche dramas of the rich ass bad boy falling for the innocent poor girl? of watching the bad boy keep defending himself and saying that he's not in love with her? Of him turning a new leaf just because of a girl? So is this drama any different? A new refreshing take on the normal cliche Korean drama? Nope. Not even a bit. Still why did I give this drama a good rating? Even I do not know. Something about this drama makes is much more bearable than other stuff.

I think Jung Il Woo is born to act in these characters. He is so natural in the rich bad boy characters. And Jin Seo Yeon is perfect as a innocent tough girl. Also there's a plus point of seeing Monsta X here.

If you have time to spare and wanting to watch a simple story to make you feel good, this is the best. The short episodes makes it the best.

My fav scene? When Chief Heo was made to sit outside the car in the pouring rain in the last episode XD

This was my first drama web series ever. It's definitely very funny and I love how the humor is specific, fun and different. I was bursting with laughter every episode. As for the whole romance genre, it was very slow but cute.
The casting was superb in my opinion. The actors were experienced and natural + the celebrity cameos very wonderful. I'm a big fan of Lee Shi Eon and his character was the best in this show!

Overall, it's a cute and funny web series that is short and very enjoyable :3

I really love this drama. This drama was really simple yet, It was really good and I enjoyed watching this drama. As the duration of every episode is also not too long so I guess It is good too. This drama doesn't have those plot twists and some major plot. It is a really simple one. The acting of the actors was really good. The lead actress was good and she was really beautiful. JUNG ILWOO throughout the drama was full of expressions. He was funny, sad, serious and in all, he showed almost every kind of emotion. When MONSTA X and BORA came into the drama, It was really good. Their acting was really good and funny too. But the acting of the supporting cast was hilarious and It was really good. The last scenes of the drama were just hilarious and I loved the drama and really enjoyed while I was watching the drama. It is short and simple so, It is a must watch to.

I loved the show..it showed two perpectives of dealing with feelings...it was not rushed,story was perfect...Heo and the psychologist were hilarious.. it shows the feelings of first time lovers to an extent

I totally recommend and would rewatch it for sure.

Choi was a multifaceted character which i loved the most..jung potrayed it so flawlessly..his expressions were to die for and yi rung was cute..they both balanced out each other

The only thing i disliked was the timing of the music
