Oh, this was disappointing. It started out well with some laugh out loud moments in Episode 1 and then it just fell flat. However, I kept at it because I thought for sure that things would change, but alas, they didn’t. ML was an entitled jerk at the beginning and then three years later, he’s now a General Manager with a strong work ethic. What? How did that happen? FL is a bumbling dietician in training but finally manages to become a trained dietician, against all odds. When they accidentally are reunited because FL is now working as the dietitian/nutritionist at company run by ML, FL acts timid and lacks confidence while ML bullies and manipulates her constantly! You’d think they’d both grow out of these major character flaws but no! We, the viewers are subjected to seeing this behavior for endless episodes. Somehow, they’re both still attracted to one another despite these issues and finally begin to realize and act upon their feelings for one another. Even so, it took about 13 ½ of the 14 episodes before each of them actually shows the maturity they should have started developing in Episode 5. I really wish the FL wasn’t such a milque-toast and that ML wasn’t such a bully so often. The other issue that baffled me was how they had a connection. Granted, they slept together three years ago and there were fireworks but besides that, all they seem to have in common is his malnutrition and her ability to provide nutritious food. You don’t get the sense that they have much else in common. She literally is Miss Frumpy and he’s Mr. Model. Side note—he is SO good-looking! It would have been nice to see her dress nicely and it really didn’t seem that she would be his ideal woman at all. I didn’t like the other woman who thought she was his girlfriend as she was conniving and superficial but I don’t know which one was worse. Clearly the FL at least was honest and had integrity. Of course, she was hiding a lot—herself, her family, her past, etc. All that added to my frustration. I mean, be your own person! The best character in the whole series, in my opinion, was FL’s friend—the author/Book and Beer owner who was kind, forgiving and loyal and cute too! He seemed much more the type for FL frankly. Anyway, I skipped Episodes 10-12 but finished it simply because I couldn’t give up since I was so deep in but it wasn’t a favorite. This is the first one that I really didn’t enjoy that much and still feel frustrated by so many aspects because it really had a lot of potential. I think the actors did well with what they were given but ultimately it was the plot, and the writing, which lacked depth in character development, that let this series down.

THE OST IS PROBABLY THE BEST THING FROM THE SHOW
I started watching the show a few months after it released...and to this day march 2021, i have not finished it... I really liked the beginning or the series there were some episodes were it was just rushed and others that were going way to fast, the plot is not really something new because we have seen many dramas where they have one night stands, id say the only thing diffrent about this story is that she didnt get pregnant.. i love the cast they have great chemistry!I would give this series a 8.5 only because the storyline is just messed up and all over the place.
Like i said, the OST is probably the best thing apart from the actors
For me, i wouldnt be able to watch it again because its overwhelming and i get really confused on some parts of the series, It took almost 4 years to come back to the show!!! if i do rewatch it again its probably because of the cast, if you really love rom-coms its definitely rewatchable for you!
SPANISH READERS(Lectores españoles)
Empecé a ver el programa unos meses después de su lanzamiento... y hasta el día de hoy marzo de 2021, no lo he terminado... Me gustó mucho el principio o la serie había algunos episodios si simplemente se precipitaba y otros que iban camino a la velocidad, la trama no es realmente algo nuevo porque hemos visto muchos dramas donde tienen una noche de pie, digamos que lo único diferente de esta historia es que ella no se quedó embarazada. Me encanta el elenco que tienen una gran química!
Me gustaría esta serie un 8.5 sólo porque la historia es simplemente desordenado y en todo el lugar.
Como dije, el OST es probablemente lo mejor aparte de los actores
Para mí, no sería capaz de verlo de nuevo porque es abrumador y me confundo mucho en algunas partes de la serie, Tomó casi 4 años volver a la serie!!! si lo vuelvo a ver es probablemente debido al elenco, si realmente te encanta rom-coms es definitivamente rewatchable para usted!
Korean Readers(한국 독자)
나는 그것이 발표 된 후 몇 달 동안 쇼를보기 시작했다 ... 그리고 이 날 3 월 2021, 나는 그것을 완료하지 않은 ... 나는 정말 시작이나 시리즈가 있었다 몇 가지 에피소드가 있었다 그냥 돌진하고 빠른 가는 다른 사람, 우리는 그들이 하룻밤 스탠드가 많은 드라마를 보았기 때문에 줄거리는 정말 새로운 것이 아니다, ID는이 이야기에 대해 다른 유일한 것은 그녀가 임신하지 않았다는 것입니다.. 나는 그들이 큰 화학을 가지고 캐스트를 사랑 해요!
이 시리즈는 스토리가 엉망이되어 여기저기 서만 8.5 것입니다.
내가 말했듯이, OST는 아마 배우떨어져 가장 좋은 것입니다
나를 위해, 나는 그것의 압도적 인 때문에 다시 볼 수 없을 것입니다 그리고 나는 시리즈의 일부 부분에 정말 혼란 얻을, 그것은 쇼에 다시 와서 거의 4 년이 걸렸다!!! 내가 캐스팅 때문에 아마 다시 볼 경우, 당신은 정말 ROM-coms의 확실히 당신을 위해 다시 볼 수 사랑한다면!

So cheesy, that the toxic tropes didn't bother me as much as usual.
I actually enjoyed this drama. I laughed, I smiled, I smirked, and it didn't require me to think too much. What you see, is what you get! This is the type of drama that you want to watch before or after watching a long historical/period drama or thriller. This drama is full of tropes, but it was done so well, that even the toxic tropes didn't bother me too much, like the male lead pulling the female lead character hands to direct her, or yelling at the female lead because he likes her but just too arrogant to say so, etc.I will say that Sung Hoon overacted in most of his scenes. I don't know if he wanted his character to be overly dramatic or if it was his acting but I def. think it was his acting. He's such a great actor; I've seen other dramas of his, but for some reason in this drama he did way tooooooooo much.

I really wanted to like this drama :/
When I first read the synopsis, I was so excited to begin watching! It was so refreshing to finally see a drama that didn't shy away from sexual topics, but unfortunately this one fell flat.The first few episodes are pretty good, the pacing is great and the plot isn't half bad. However, even then there were some issues, especially with plotholes and cliche use. I ignored these and pushed on, because I loved how this drama wasn't prude in it's romance AT ALL while also not being explicit. However, after the plot had established itself, the whole thing fell flat. This drama felt like it had no clear progression for me, it felt like it was going in circles at times. It depended heavily on cliched plot devices to progress it and it was too riddled with misunderstandings for my taste.
One thing I did enjoy was the skinship, it was refreshing to see the FL genuinely enjoy herself and I like that they included light makeouts, not just pecks. Other than that, the acting was okay, but the FL's naive personality began to grate on me as I continued watching. The ML's break in his serious facade was charming at times.
The OST was okay, not too bad but not memorable. The theme song is cute. At times, the music mixing seemed to be a little amateurish
I would not rewatch this drama considering I could not finish it.
Overall, unless you really like your kdrama cliches, misunderstandings & lies, I would not recommend. There is a reason why people dislike kdrama cliches and this drama showed me why.

watch it just for the gorgeous ML !
Such a cliché rom-com that i wouldn't know where to start... The plot is hardly there, the FL has a weak scene presence, even the tropes lack quality of execution. BUT... all the credit goes to the ML who definitely saves this show being gifted with all the necessary qualities and something extra: handsome, fit, classy, funny, versatile and unique! The sense of fashion is great - nice job from whoever did this. Also the secondary cast is excellent, starting with the male secretary, who teamed with the ML in "Noble, My Love" (still the ML grew up a lot in terms of personality since that), the eccentric former porn-star mother of the FL, the kitchen beauty and grumpy manager, the tiny child and even the black not-so-stray cat. Nice scenery too.I'm impressed with the acting talent of the ML, still as a side note i wonder... his features are all natural? He looks like a manga hero. I like him whatever the answer. <3

Like many dramas based on a web-stories the story is quite shallow, and the plot isn’t rich.
However, the sweetness of the romance makes up for it more than most dramas. It is a matter of the mood and the preference, to be honest. I could have given it a much lower rating if I was looking for a drama with a convoluted, realistic plot. The chemistry is good, and the drama is really light, I keep wanting to watch the next episode without feeling overwhelmed. And as sweet and light as the drama is as much as it keeps me thinking about it. The music is lovely as well.

Abysmal In Every Way
I would have given this negative stars if possible.I'll be completely honest and confess that the only reason I didn't stop watching sooner was because I normally like Sung Hoon, and his shoulders looked particularly lovely in this drama.
The biggest problems with this drama are the horrible writing, the female lead, and Sung Hoon's purple toupee. Candidly, I would have kept watching if even one of those things was not on the list, but added up, the drama was unbearable.
The script was horrible, even for a light-hearted fluffy piece. Maybe some of it was due to the translation, but I had the feeling that the writer had never had an actual conversation with another human being. Yes, the dialogue was that bad. Add in stale tropes, unconsensual power-play type touching from the boss, and a female lead who is a nutritionist who can't cook a decent meal, and you get this horrible mess.
Equally distracting was Song Ji Eun's complete inability to move her jaw when she speaks (no, not just when she was wearing the splash guard). I have no idea if that person can act or not because I was so irritated by her whiny lockjawed voice that it became almost impossible to notice anything else.
And finally, poor Sung Hoon. I think most people would say that he is well above average looking, but it seemed like the hair and makeup folks wanted to change all of that. His toupee was, I believe, unintentially PURPLE. That, in itself, wouldn't be too bad if it was normal to see purple hair on a wealthy executive, or even if the toupee was of good quality. It was, however, very poorly made, and the front was placed way too low on the actor's forehead. I spent an entire episode actively trying to ignore it, but I somehow became unable to look away. Bless his heart, poor Sung Hoon looked like he was sweating bullets under all of that man made hair.
If you can see beyond a bad script, jawless talking, and a cheap purple toupee, this might be an enjoyable show for you. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

Para ser honesta esperaba mucho de este drama. Por muchos lados había visto avances acerca de esta serie y de verdad me llamaba la atención pero me decepciono un poco.Para empezar, se que es de una cadena televisa diferente poco conocida pero para mi eso fue clave ya que el tipo de imagen algo tenia que se veia diferente a los otros.
En cuanto a la historia, estuvo bonita como los personajes se conocieron y que durante 3 años aun seguian sientiendo lo mismo a pesar de haber sido algo de una sola vez. No me gustaron para nada los personajes "antagonicos" . Muy simples, no luchaban como muchos otros personajes secundarios lo han hecho. El cast adulto tampoco me gusto nada, me parecieron muy aburridos y siempre en lo mismo. Y en cuanto a los protagonistas, Sung Hoon es muy guapo y aun le falta para mi gusto, las escenas de los besos estuvieron bien pero se me hacia una exageración la manera en el que el se le lanzaba a ella. Y en cuanto a Song Ji Eun , ella es mi favorita de SECRET y me gusto mucho verla actuar, también le hace falta experiencia pero no estuvo mal. En sí la historia carecía de algun tipo de problema o circunstancia. Los primeros episodios estuvieron bien pero ya en el 5 era asi casi lo mismo, para mi gusto fue mucho relleno, y este drama de 14 episodios bien pudo haber sido de 8.

Dessa vez, eu acho que a atuação dos atores foi realmente boa, mas aquele roteiro que constrói uma protagonista que atrapalha TODO o romance por medinho de ser igual à mãe estourou a minha paciência.
História: achei comum. Bem típica, na verdade. Contudo, os momentos entre eles são bem, bem fofinhos só que a maioria das demonstrações você vê por conta do nosso protagonista maravilhoso. Acho que a evolução dele foi a mais marcante, pois ele saltou de um moleque mimado, para se desenvolver como patrão rancoroso e se concluir como um cara realmente apaixonado que é capaz de esperar o tempo que for para experimentar um pouco do amor da protagonista.
PORÉM
Que protagonista enjoada. Já disse isso, mas ela realmente foi o que me impediu de elevar a nota desse dorama. Uma briga mais infantil do que a outra sendo que o vai-não-vai dela é BEM pior.
Personagens secundários estão bem mais amadurecidos do que ela e têm um romance bem topzinho.
Atuação: achei boa. De verdade, dá para saber quando o problema é a atuação ou se o problema é o roteiro, no caso, foi o roteiro o problema do dorama. Construíram uma personagem que esgota a paciência.
Musical: comum. Acho que não tem como esperar muito. Se encaixou nos momentos, mas não achei uma que tivesse total importância para o dorama.
No geral, é um dorama MUITO fofinho por conta do protagonista. Porém, você vai ficar incomodada(o) pelo menos uma vez com a nossa protagonista.
