What didn't work for me was that, towards the ending, it felt like the action was happening behind the scenes and you get to only watch the results of it. And the last episode was not as good as the rest of them.
But, other than that, the comedy part was very good. The drama was funny, fresh and adorable overall. The leading lady was a delight, as always, and she adaoted to her role beautifully. The side characters and their stories were really entertaining and made the drama even more enjoyable, as the main story was low paced.
So, overall, seven out of ten.

Rom-Com at it's finest!
I don't understand why this drama had so much hate! I really enjoyed it! Sure it was rough around the edges and a bit over the top at times but you are told its a rom-com but its so much more than just that!The story was decent, a little hard to follow at times as there are that many "couples" in this drama. Each couple had their own problems as usual with these types of dramas but the contrast with all the storylines keeps it interesting. It was not purely focused on romance either, there was just friendships and even LGBT+ elements in this too which I enjoyed the variety. Not all couples had a happy ending you would have hoped but that makes it all the more realistic as not everyone gets the happiness they deserve. Sure this drama can be pretty cheesy at times but it's a comedy, it keeps it lighthearted but does get serious when it needs to be.
I really enjoyed the cast, especially the fact that they included quite a few "newbies" into acting at the time, and I could not tell at all with them mixed in with the veterans they were that good.
I noticed a couple of songs I recognised but I do not watch dramas for their music.
I would recommend this to anyone who does not mind a cheesy rom-com that keeps everything lighthearted and wants to be entertained! ^^

Funny funny show
I liked this show but it did take me a few months to finish it.I am not one to judge especially people and how they want to live their lives but I am not all for watching LGBT. But this show was tastefully done! It was really funny. I really did feel for the young gay guy and how people treated him and also his family. It has to be hard especially with people who do not want to understand and all they can do is torment others. Poor kid. And by the way I do have friends and family that is LGBT. I am not judging them I love them. I just wanted to point out that this show was really well done in that area and I felt for each of the guys.
As for the two main actors... their story was good and funny. They did a great job.
Would I rewatch... ummm YES! Especially if I need a good laugh! And the eye candy! And there is lots of it!??

The first few episodes were relatively interesting and had potential, but quickly fell when the drama started focusing too much on the rivalry between the 1st and 2nd male leads.
The female lead also had a bit of an annoying character and I lacked sympathy for her.
Overall this drama was disappointing and I would not recommend it.

Well it started well,lm not sure about the end part. i skipped 10 episodes i think HAHA. It's just that I got bored with the plot.The story was quite nice at first. It has a lot of comedy in it, maybe that is why I kept on watching, but not until episode 20 i think or somewhere between ep 15 to 22. I think the story kinda get dull at those episodes. But i still watched in hopes that the plot will get interesting somehow. but i gave up and just skipped over the end.
They revealed the identity of the psychiatrist at the end part. That is one of the parts that i didnt like much. they could have revealed it at the middle part of the series then played with its character and give it some story. it would have been more interesting.
I think one of the good and different thing about this drama is that they tackled the LGBT community, which i dont find on other dramas.
Then the cliche. one of my most hated part. yeah i get it, they are somehow connected in the past. then her parents got into an accident. the characters had some trauma while growing up. ok what's new.
The actors and actresses were good.I like the best friend of the lead actress. Her humor gave color to this series.
But the story, i think it could have been better.
everything is nice except the plot i think.
I can just recommend watching the first part (if you like comedy)(upto episode 15 to 20 i think) then if you are curious on how it will end, give the last episode a try.

It had its flaws, but I loved it all the same (very minor spoilers)
Overall an enjoyable watch with real characters with real flaws, as the title says.The crude humor can be a bit much at times but at a certain point in the drama they dispense with resorting to it. The rest of the time I was laughing or smiling hysterically. The jokes usually hit well, and I loved the "All by myself!" bit. In particular when any of the brothers were involved it was a good time. They played off of each other and the sister incredibly well.
I commend the actors for doing such a good job.
The FL was a bit hard to love at first. She was a fun character but was dense for quite a bit of the runtime. She kept assuming things and then getting pissed at people when she found out things weren't like she thought. It got annoying when all she had to do was ask/talk to people. However, she did have her own moral compass that she abided by (such as being protective of anyone who was Gay by making sure to not reveal their sexuality) and I grew to root for her in the end.
The ML himself was fun to watch. If you don't like childish ML's you won't enjoy him though. The SML on the other hand was incredibly difficult to root for in the slightest once his character was revealed. Yes, he did redeem himself later but I really don't like how they made him into a villain for so long. It just didn't work for me.
I must admit that the brothers stole the show often. They were all just the right amount of silly, arrogant, and/or sincere.
Finally, I would be remiss to not bring up the fantastic job this drama did at normalizing LGBT+ people. I really appreciated and liked how they had one of the brothers being Gay and working at a Gay bar be just another part of the story. It was the set for not just him but also just for his siblings and others to come by and tell their woes and other important parts of the plot to occur.
The Gay characters' stories were handled respectfully and not for the sake of laughs because of who they were but rather just the silly things they said/did. You know, like normal people. And not only that but they showed the different realities for them. Some have supportive parents but struggle because of their own self-hatred, others are completely comfortable with themselves but struggle because of their unsupportive parents and/or are worried about the judgement of everyone around them. Coming out was also treated with care and the idea of outing someone was judged by the characters as being horrible, as it should be.
This past year I got to witness a mainstream drama, Nevertheless, include a Lesbian Romance with one of their side couples and show how representation could be easily put into dramas and be well done if we were only so inclined and studios/companies took a chance. I'm happy to go back a couple years and find another drama, Love with Flaws, that in spite of being older managed to do (I would argue) an even better job.
For a good time, I will be coming back to this drama. And to cry, I will be coming back to this drama.

I started this show already hyped 'cause I saw the show poster and it was screaming "CHEMISTRY", yeah a little weird to think that way but it was what I was thinking.
I started it and for the first couple weeks I was not disappointed, the comedy was insanely great(seriously the comedy in the first couple weeks was top notch), the side couples were being developed and the main couple was alright.
What really annoyed me as I was watching this was the Second lead, he was really annoying to me from the beginning, but midway through the show he was getting as annoying as it gets and he almost ruined the show to me.
Another thing that I didn't like was how they're were throwing things in between the main leads and sorting it out quickly, so they could throw more things in between them.
Overall, the leads started to get least interested as the show progressed and the side characters relations keep me around till the end, especially the relation between the ML older sister and the FL older brother, they were really cute.
So, finishing this I have to say that the storyline was nothing new, but it was alright, the music choices were great great, especially some western songs they used in pretty specific parts, the cast was alright, and I would rewatch this in the future with some effort.
(I'm sorry, but I'm pretty bad with names, that's why I was referring the characters as FL, ML,etc..)

The series revolves around a girl, later a woman and her brothers. It also ties into her childhood friend who later becomes our male lead. It really explores the relationships between the siblings as well as her personal relationship and her struggles with dating a particular type of people. It is not very complex and somewhat easy to follow however there are many slow parts in the series that makes it kind of dull. I sincerely loved the sibling relationship, their love and devotion as well as the friendships. It you want a good laugh, you’ll enjoy it. Its heartfelt and has a good ending.

What a highly underrated healing drama …
Such a good surprise. The first 6 episodes may not give the best idea of what the drama is about: healing drama with a beautiful love story. Some situations are extremely funny, while at the beginning of the drama, other may go a bit too far in tackling the digestive issues of the ML when under stress,. Extreme stress can cause that, which may deter some viewers from going past that. Good thing, after ep. 6, there is no more of this ;) and it is really rewarding.This drama is Not a revenge drama. But truly a great healing drama with a lovely romance between the leads. Oh yeon seo and Ahn Jae Hyun make a perfectly believable couple, they have great chemistry, with outstanding comedic skills: a great watch, if you can go past ep. 6, which will leave you with a smile.

This might be my favorite K-drama ever
This might be an unpopular opinion, but this is truly one of the best romance shows out there. To be fair, it was also the first "real" K-drama I had ever seen ("real" meaning the whole 16 episodes of 1 or so hours). However, as of writing this review, I have seen quite a few romance dramas and I still believe that this is my favorite one. I saw a lot of reviews saying that they didn't like the show, which is a bummer. I do understand why people thought it was quite silly, but all the stupid jokes just added more charm to it, in my opinion.I enjoyed that there was more than just Seo-yeon's storyline. Before watching this I had only ever watched shorter dramas, so I feared it would be too much for me to handle. Luckily it wasn't, and I fell for each character's storyline. Everyone had great character depth and I got so invested in all of their stories. Watching as all the puzzle pieces fell together, felt so amazing. I have to admit that I probably fell more for the side characters' stories rather than the main couple but I enjoy the way things turned out. Watching each episode just had me wanting more.
A short note, I would recommend trying to watch the episodes on a platform that still has the original music from when it aired on TV. I'm not sure about other platforms, but I know Viki exchanged most music with copyright-free versions, which made it feel different in a worse way. But the original music was often hilarious and fit perfectly to the scenes (like when Seo-yeon was singing "All by Myself" while being sad in the bar).
I just loved everything about this show honestly. It just made me feel so cozy. I'm not even kidding, some of my best memories come from sitting at 3 AM and watching this on my laptop in my bed. Unless you hate silly comedies, I would recommend this show to anyone. It was so lovely and it made me so happy.
