So... Is Noble, My Love a good series? Well, it certainly was enjoyable to watch. It's mostly corny and light-hearted, but that's kind of its style, and it works rather well. The acting is probably the best thing this drama has to offer. The main leads have a lot of chemistry and their feelings for each other feel palpable. As for the quality of its story, it's just OK-ish. The plot is generic and it's full of common tropes and clichés, but the series is so short they don't become tiresome. I wouldn't say they're much of a problem and shouldn't affect much.
I would recommend it for someone who's in the mood for watching something light and short.

After he even forced her to move in with him, I honestly cheered for the girl to date his younger brother - who came to also live in the house - instead. The brother was cute, which cannot be said about Sung Hoon. Also, he was kind of on the same boat with her, they both were harrassed by the older brother, whose only good suit was that he had money, which he used and abused every day. He also had a funny male secretary, who understood the soft core under the hard crusting and tried to help his boss to find true love, which was exactly what good romcom should have. Still, I didn't cheer for the main guy.
So, this was the only thing that prevented me from giving this 10 stars. Kim Jae Kyung did a great job, though.

What I liked:
The story
It was cliched and trope-y but still utterly engrossing. I'm not sure I'll ever tire of contract relationships. I also thoroughly love the whole person a took care of person b in time of need and now person b is utterly in love and doesn't know what to do with themselves.
The characters
Cha Yeon Soo actually kept her spunk. These days I'm so used to spunky female leads becoming doormats the instant they start falling for the male lead but that thankfully never happened to Yeon Soo! I've also never seen a character that was a vet before it was super interesting and I really believed that Yeon Soo loved her job and loved animals.
I also liked the plethora of side characters. Both the little brothers were great. The actors playing them had better acting than the leads in my opinion so they were a delight every time they were on screen.
The shortness
Like I mentioned, web dramas are great because they're short. I never felt like the story was weighted down with filler. We got exactly what we needed from each 0 minute episode.
What I didn't like:
Lee Kang Hoon
He embodies everything wrong with kdramas when writing male leads. He's controlling and demanding. He always has to have things his way and there's never any character development. There were several times where this character alone almost made me drop the drama. I'm so sick of alpha male bullshit in kdramas and I hope this is a dying trend.
The acting
So far, I've loved Sung Hoon in everything I've seen him in (especially Oh My Venus) but here he was just....not good. Kim Jae Kyung is also my favorite member of Rainbow so I was hoping she would do well. However, both of them weren't that great. They had moments and they definitely had chemistry. But their acting ranged from over the top to stiff to mediocre. I found a lot of the side characters had better acting than these too which is a down right shame.
Overall
I think this was a cute little watch and I'd recommend it if you're in the mood for a cliche feel good drama. You know exactly what you're getting when you watch it.

its worth a reewatch
•The series is quite fluffy, I watched it to take a break from usual new drama so I just rewatched this web drama. It was sweet like a candy floss the very first time I watched it.•STORY
The story is a typical romantic drama about contact relationship, with a rich guy and poor but hard working girl. They meet when she saves him while he was escaping the baddies. he offers her money which she strongly denies as she thinks saving lives is noble deed. Soon he hires her to be his girlfriend but fate makes them fall in love.
•PLOT VIEW
The ML was an arrogant billionaire who thinks that he is superior to anyone just because he has got money. The story was free flowing with supercute brothers and unpleasant mother in law. But I liked the plotline as she wasn’t given such serious side and it ended pretty quickly. The story wasn’t draggy and no unnecessary misunderstanding was there.
•ACTING
I like the FL Kim Jae kyung as I saw her earlier as veronica park, she looked lovely as veterinary doctor. I loved her fringed hairstyle. She gave a refreshing representation of the honest personality of the character.
Sung Hoon as Lee Kang Hoon character grew from cold to caring. But I still don’t like him although I enjoyed the role he played.
•MUSIC
The music was good but none of the songs really hit me. But they fitted perfectly at the moment!!!!
•REWATCH
I watched it again so it basically rewatchable for me and I enjoyed it the second time as well
•APPRECIATION
The opening scene with sketched picture from the episode and the name of the the episodes were excellent.
The chemistry of leads was worth watching with soft and tender kisses.

Quick, no nonsense story
The story feels a bit rushed, they did not go into why they wanted to kidnap or even provide a conclusion for that aspect. If you were kidnapped, you would not be wandering around the next few days at night.The comedy/joke are cute but feels a bit forced at time.
When things started getting nice a sweet they push a background drama regarding the brother and the mother. Of course the usual object of the parents and family drama.
This drama is fun to watch however, even though it is short they drag on the happy ending. I would have wanted them to build the relationship more and the aftermath now that they are together.

Pretty…but insubstantial
This should have been a great drama for me. For one, I love rich guy, poor girl tropes, and the ML/FL are pretty to look at, but this dram, Noble, My Love, has nothing more to offer. Again, while pretty to look at, the acting from the ML and FL leaves a lot to be desired.Sometimes, decent direction can make up for bad acting, but that is not the case here. On literally every level this drama fails. Again, if the directing were better some of the faults could be excused, but combine that with bad acting and even worse direction, and you have something so boring, I decided to finish it in my spare time.
The ML is handsome and the FL is pretty. Together they look great, but unless you plan to watch this on mute, then skip it for something better.
On a positive note, it is very short…so there is that.
Cheers ?

I can tell you I did not regret it for a second. It was short, cute and funny. While it would not be something I would watch alone, my sister and I laughed and squealed together through the entire drama.
I rated the story low not because I disliked it, just because it was nothing new. I rated the overall so high not because it was soooo good, just because that is how much I personally enjoyed it.

If you're looking a drama with a great plot and with a lot of depth, I don't think this is the right one.
But this was easily one of my fav dramas<3 worth the watch!

Bien pour un petit break entre deux longs dramas.
Pas de surprise, histoire connue, on retrouve toujours les mêmes ingrédients. On n’a pas l’impression que la production avait beaucoup de moyen, ce n’est pas toujours de qualité.On se laisse porter par l’histoire, mais sans non plus être transportés.
Le lead masculin m’a quand même bien fait grincer des dents.
Le lead féminin par contre est bien portée, et je l’ai bien apprécié.
C’est un mini drama de 7 épisodes de 45 minutes, c’est parfait pour une petite pause entre deux dramas, mais il ne faut pas en attendre plus.
