Story: I really liked the story actually, because it kept me interested to watch it. Some of it was sometimes too much to handle, because there wasn't only ONE story line, but many that made a big one and for some people that might be a bit irritating, but in the end all the loose ends come together, so I really liked it.

Acting/Cast: The people chosen for their roles were really on point. Every character is likable and you get to know some backround of the protagonists as well which is crucial for the storyline. I think that some characters wouldn't have been necessary but that's just my own opinion.

Music: I really really loved the music! I fell in love with the love-song-theme from VROMANCE, omg my sister and I are singing or more humming (we don't speak korean) the melody all the time xD

Rewatch Value: I would definitly rewatch this show, but not too soon, because the storyline has so many strings that it's not an "easy" show to watch because sometimes it seems too much :D But I would rewatch it some day for sure ;)

Overall: Overall I'd say that this drama is very adorable and likeable.

no recommend

Full of trash , even no worth to watch !
Deslike bc of main character female behavior Bong Soo which acted too much like a kid🤦🏾‍♂️! The voice tone, intonation, all , I hate it! Really don't like this type of behavior it's childish for 10 y kids🤦🏾‍♂️ was hard to watch this drama
This much comedy melodrama than detective bc they more enjoying themselves than trynna resolve the problem so that's not really
interesting, boring I can say, coz every new episode u waiting something different but this different never come..even at her job so this is so bored scenario ever !
only funny thing was about twin how funny he acted , and sometimes about her power but nothing more.

I have just finished the last episode and I might say, 10/10 for laughter, chemistry and overall acting. Plot was not spectacular, but it kept me going.
Why did I rate all so high? Well, for once today tv shows too many serious, violent shows on tv. Here, each episode was so funny it made m laugh like there is no tomorrow!
I would love to see the main leads again in another comedy series. Very natural performance and for this kudos to the cast!
I want to see more laughter on Tv and a chemistry such as this 16 episode series has! Bravo to all the cast and producers - for me this drama is definitely underrated!

*screams into a pillow*

Okay, now that I’ve released a bit of my frustration with this show, I can talk about it a bit more rationally.

This show has a maaaaaaajor tone problem that becomes more and more apparent as the show progresses. The first half of the show is pretty good kdrama fun times, plenty of laughs to be had. The main trio are great at comedy. The love triangle is actually pretty good, as I think it’s a bit different from usual. Min Hyuk knows who Bong Soon “truly” is, and admires her for her strength, while Gook Du perceives her as weak and wants to protect her. They aren’t just two people vying for her love; they are two people who have very different perspectives on who she is, that makes the love triangle more interesting than usual.

And then the show progressively derails as the episodes progress. The serial killer plot ramps up and is so extreme and scary, and there’s some serious whiplash going back and forth between cute scenes of our couple and scenes of this terrifying guy. Oh, and the goshdarn gangster scenes. Does that stuff even count as a subplot? It serves as “funny” filler, but I find pretty much none of it funny and it borders on gross for me. Those were the scenes I hated the most. The only way to watch the second half of the show is to skip through all the crap to get to the cute scenes with our couple, and at that point you might as well just watch the clips on YouTube.

I actually would give this show a 7, but it has such a high rating here and I feel the need to turn the dial down a bit so people understand that there’s some serious problems with this show. The cast is good, the humor is pretty good in the first half of the show, and the OST is fitting. However, many of the characters are superfluous and are meant to be humorous but are so over the top that it is too much to handle. The serial killer plot is so extreme that it throws the show off kilter, and it truly feels like it belongs in a different show like Voice. The saving grace of this show is the couple, which is one of the darn cutest couples I’ve seen in kdramaland. The main trio are great (though Ji Soo’s talents are somewhat wasted here). I wish that the latter half of the show wasn’t a hot mess, because otherwise this show would be really great.

Giving this a 9 because there were so many different genres in this show that I was slowly losing my mind but the cast was /perfect/.

***THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS AHEAD PLEASE BE WARNED***

I mean I could see how writer-nim wanted to connect Bong Soon to the mystery and crime angle in the story but I think it just took so much time and dragged the show a bit because of the seven brides thingy (I was so pissed at the police for always missing the suspect lol). The side characters were ok for me but then some of the screen times were unnecessarily long. Poop jokes were a bit too much but the interactions between Min Hyuk and Secretary Gong will always have a place in my heart!

The cast was just A+. PBY and PHS were just off the roof with their chemistry. PLEASE DATE IRL lol JEBAL MOM AND DAD PLS DATE IRL!!!! The last episode almost killed be because of its cuteness AND YES BECAUSE I AM A SUCKER FOR ROMCOMS. Secretary Gong was one of my favorites tbh! That character was such a living meme lol. Bong Soon's mother was definitely me whenever I see the BongMin couple!

Loved the OST too, I think PD-nim chose the right songs for the right moments. The SFX were great too, the cat/puppy noises, etc. It added flair and cuteness to the show.

I would watch this again though but maybe I'll skip the filler parts and just proceed to my favorite episodes/scenes.

Ok I'll start in overall:
Ep1-9 felt like there's magic into it
10-13 plot starts to struggle
13-16: good with a closure that gives what you wish/dream of.
a kind of drama that is not so perfect but end up to my fav list/love it.

If you're into romcom, love cute/adorable couple like you enjoy dramas that are light hearted then this drama is for you...~ Chemistry is just too real a kind of relationship that you can't see any other guy for her, just him. It's seriously funny/hilarious....XD but there are times you'll be like... Is this even impt?


Story: genre of crime/romcom/thriller didn't work all together in the middle of the story it felt so random it would be better if they focus in just one genre, The flaws and hole into it, there is so many ways to improve it, make it better, that they failed to do so. DESPITE all that you won't think about it, it could make you forget /forgive those shortcoming, for the main couple. Their love story overcomes all those problem, you know their chemistry is just too undeniably strong and so much lovable.

Recommendation
highly recommended to those who have bubbly personality, hopelessly loves romance, loves to fall out of love, wants to meet a sassy male lead, cutie female lead, a good laugh then go watch it. If you wanna watch this drama because of investigation genre, just don't and go somewhere else. This isn't for you if you're too much of a technical person when it comes to watching dramas but if you're someone who based it more in the feels then you'll enjoy and appreciate it~

Character/acting
Minhyuk and Bong Soon is loife!
Characters: there's your fav, someone you'll dislike/like, you'll love/hate, find annoying/funny. Shoutout to Secretary, Bong ki and high-schoolers!~

Park Hyungsik and Park Bo Young shines in this and I hope they'll continue to shine, to see them together in another drama or just date for real. Oooops!!! Kekkeke. I love all the cast and I thank the PD-nim for the supply of bts every week.

The ost is good. Rewatched value is perfect ofc I'm talking about the moments/story of the main couple, I'm gonna miss all of them and I want a version 2 juseyo!!!! Bong Soon and Minhyuk will always have a special place in my heart. My 100th drama! Whooooops! Thankyouuu for the feels.~

ps: the main couple is way too cute to handle, warning; they're addicting. Uggggggh!!!! Anyways hope my review helps!~

Ji Soo

One of the best second lead. If it is not for the love of romantic comedy, you should watch this for Ji Soo, he is fine. While he is stern as you would expect of a police officer, you can feel the warmth behind the feelings he didn't recognize long enough to lose the girl. I can't complain about the other leading actors, they were all good indeed, but I was biased to Ji Soo character from the get go. The one thing that was off for me, was the psycho kidnapper and his scenes with the women he abducted, these were parts in the drama I found mostly disturbing, along with some of the fighting scenes. Again, watch for Ji Soo, you won't regret it, and probably, you would follow his other dramas. I certainly will.

EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH IT...

Girl power rocks...B:

Story is well-thought.The plot has a few problems, the crime part really got dragged but it's not that important to me.
Park Hyung Shik shined in this drama.He is like a princess,really.(Yes, not a prince but princess because he is too beautiful.) If this drama was any longer, I don't think I would be able to handle watching him.
Cuteness is overflowing...^^
And it is way tooo funny till the end.

SWEET SALTY AND SOUR

I watched this drama years ago when it first came out I just didn't make a review so ill make one now. I loved this drama to the point where I watched all 16 episodes every day for a week, the main reason why I loved this drama is the romance and the chemistry between the main leads but as much as I love this drama it is quite cringy and not realistic in the way that she can just lift a whole ass car with like one hand however although this drama is cringe it has its dark side that honestly really scared me( yes I do have anxiety and I am extremely paranoid so bare that in mind when I say this). There is Sa and kidnapping in this drama and those scenes are fucking creepy. I would recommend this drama if you want something sweet but creepy but comedic at the same time.

While I make this review I try to be as non basis as possible as the main actress is one of my fav actresses and this drama is extremely nostalgic to me so I will probably feel differently from you but when I first watched this drama I would've 100% rated this a ten but I think as I experience more dramas I have higher expectation anyway uh watch it if you want....

Iconic

This is just a comedy masterpiece, I could not stop laughing. The bromance in this show was so satisfying, I love to see it. I have to admit, I always feel sorry for the second male lead because we can have the second male lead while the female lead can have the main guy. I think that’s the reason we have second male leads just for us😂😂😂😂😂 gosh, what am I saying- but anyways this was and will always be an iconic show!!! If no one has heard of this show, I would be very shocked, like how come you don’t know this!??!!???
