Unbelievably funny, cute & sweet drama
"Unbelievable", this drama is what you need after watching all the serious dramas with heavy plots. You will find something lighthearted to relax a bit and also enjoy this unbelievably funny, cute, and sweet romance.Story: The plot summary in MDL makes you think twice to start the drama. You saw this story so many times. A typical cliche story. Also, this is a web drama with a low budget. So, I hesitated at first but later gave the drama a try. After watching the drama, I must say that the drama is surprisingly good. The plot is a typical CEO rom-com plot but It is a well-made funny rom-com. A very predictable plot, but who cares. You come here to spend your time enjoying something. No doubt, the drama will give you enough enjoyment with a very sweet romance.
Acting/Cast: The chemistry between ML and FL is surprisingly good. Both are exceptionally funny, and all their interactions are hilarious. Both actors did a tremendous job portraying their roles. You will start loving both of them in no time, from the first episode. I didn't care about the other supporting characters. But all did very well in their roles. Overall, the Acting and Cast were very good for a low-budget drama.
Music: Nothing too special, but good enough. The background music was on point and OST was also good.
Rewatch Value: A good rewatch value. A funny drama, so if you feel like watching something funny to spend some time, you can rewatch it.
Ratings: 9/10 from me (maybe a bit high). I wanted to give it more as I genuinely loved it. But, that's the max rating I should give.
I recommend this drama. I hope, the viewers give this drama a chance. This drama will be a funny and enjoyable watch for you.

Highly recommended drama
This drama is definitely worth watching. If you want to watch a light and calm drama, this is totally for you. It's sweet, funny, and cute, which will make you relax and enjoy watching it.The story is very common, like a CEO falling in love with an employee. But it is so great that I definitely watch it again if I have a bad day, the comedy is not corny and it is surprisingly good.
The chemistry is great. I love how their characters grow with every episode. At first, I was a bit annoyed at the FL because she was being judgmental in her perspective about rich people. But I love her character development in the next episodes. I loved the ML, but I also didn't like how selfish he was for making the FL choose him over her dreams. But I'm glad he realized his mistake afterwards. The supporting characters also have a good story, and I'm glad they showed us some scenes of how their relationships develop throughout the episodes. Their acting skills are also undeniably good.
Btw, the OST is also good, especially the intro before the show starts. I'm singing it in my head every time because it's so catchy.

FWIW, I watched 17 of 18 episodes.
The premise of this is ridiculous as are both leads' characterizations. Of course no one should watch this with the expectation of seriousness. I'm specifically watching this as a break from a politically serious and plot-dense series, Sword Snow Stride.I'm considering this series finished, even though I didn't pay to see episode 18. Unless something ridiculously bad/annoying happened in the last episode, the first 17 episodes are what I'm reviewing.
They were funny, fluffy, laden with cliches and utterly ridiculous. I wasn't looking for anything monumental or serious, so it fit the bill. However, the series could've been even shorter, honestly, and there was a lot of fast forwarding through slow motion or awkward starting scenes. The music wasn't great to me since I really don't like it when non-English songwriters write songs in English. It'd be like me, who is fluent in Chinese but not well versed enough to write, let's say, poetry in the language, writing Chinese songs. I'd inevitably sound, at best silly, and at worst offensive.
Overall, this series was just fine if you're looking for something to completely veg on out at the end of the day or if you just need a break from a heavy series (or drama IRL). It was "unbelievably" cute.

Enjoyable but nothing new
Except for Zhao Huan Ran who played Liu Xi Zhao, the actors were new to me. They all did a fine job. The story itself is nothing new: a self-absorbed CEO falls for his assistant. But even before that, certain foreshadowing leads us to a shared childhood experience between them that makes her special to him. Sure enough, a similar accidental encounter between them cures him of his phobia. This allows both of them more freedom, but he has already fallen for her. And as good he is about being CEO, he's awful at courting her. It doesn't help that he's getting advice from his completely inept Secretary who's never had a girlfriend.There are a few scenes of a love triangle, but the FL had never shown any feelings but admiration towards the SML who was her senior at school.
What was disappointing and wasn't addressed even in the end, was that the ML made the FL lose out on an opportunity to train abroad in her chosen field. Granted, there are multiple such opportunities, but I would have liked it better if that had been addressed, so that we knew she wasn't completely giving up everything for him. We saw that he made huge strides and will likely keep making changes to be a better partner to her. I just wanted more for her sake.

Not Bad. with an Happy Ending everyone will say It's good. but...
Story is a little bit Cringe. Acting is also lacking. story Telling is so Fast. at first i didn’t understand cause i was watching 6 Drama at once and 5 of them ware Ongoing. yat i continued to watching this. all of i said It's bad side. you can say, is this drama has no good side? yap it has. but Only 30%. Cinematography is also so so. i Don't understand why thay shorted it. if thay made is 24 Episode with 45min Runtimes the it would be good at Story telling, explaining, Character Development and creating emotion. maybe thay had a Budget Crisis or whatever i Don't know but It's batter to do nothing then ruining talent of Makers team. thay worked hard. i liked his Assistant Tang, also those Villagers who made them suffer Only for Name Stone.Let's talk about Good Side.
first of all, there are some changes in Boss and Employee Relationship. but they Didn't forgot to include a 2nd Male Character with Female. it was irritating. and specially thanks for let us hear Chinese Regional Language. o don’t know it is Traditional or Regional but it was good enough. i guess i told so much about good side. well over all its not bad but not good enough. also i can't say It's Average.
Something/Nothing Different.

Unbelievable....
The funniest moments of this drama are when the ML says "Unbelievable" there is even a scene where the leads are at a banquet and see a desert table and they say it together for different reasons it's hilarious. Overall this drama was good I rated this a 7.5 /10 for the following reasons:- The storyline was light and fluffy with little to no misunderstandings. If a problem did arise it was handled within the episode or soon after.
- The love triangle if you want to call it that was very mild and not annoying. I hate love triangles and this one didn't bother me that much. The FL viewed 2nd ML as a senior and started to develop feelings for the ML a little later. The 2fl never stood a chance she was always viewed as a sister.
-I feel like the way the FL started to like the ML is weird. Prior they had a work relationship and she was annoyed with him. As a viewer, I couldn't tell when her feelings for the ML started. I didn't think she started to like him until she started to suspect he may like her. I wish we could've seen more in the area of the female also falling in love. Now once the leads were in a relationship she was all in.
- I wish the leads got together sooner since the show was only 18 episodes. The leads don't get together until after the episode 10 maybe episodes 12-13. The ML was in love pretty early on though.
- Ok, something that bugged me, how was the ML able to ride in his car which had red seats if he fainted every time he saw red?
- The actual story of the show was ok I can't really elaborate more because honestly the plot is so light by the end I was like "mmm that's it" lol. This story doesn't have a lot of depth to it. This is a very light watch and it's perfect if that's what your looking for.

Just adorable...especially ML!
I really don't know why this drama has a low rating of 7.7 because it's much better than a lot of dramas that get higher ratings (like Falling into Your Smile - sorry, I was not impressed by that drama at all). Yes, this drama is light-hearted and fluffy, but isn't that what a Rom-Com ought to be? It's also fairly short for a C-drama - only 18 episodes that run about 22-30 minutes long. The shorter length leaves you no time to get bored or press the fast forward button (although I did press it through the third couple, Zhao & the painter that dressed like a 12 year old).ML falls first in this story, which I prefer to those FLs that idolize some guy for like forever even though he's the Abominable Snowman. Not so with this ML. He's adorable and just so, so cute! Ok, yes, he's a bit full of himself, and he's a fusspot, but I loved him! He's a 'character', a 'weirdo' as FL calls him, but he's the cutest weirdo I ever saw! He acts cold, especially in the beginning, but it's softened by his silliness and fussiness. His reactions were just so cute! I loved his trademark 'unbelievable' and his internal thoughts of 'come on, baby' when he was hoping FL would confess while he was pretending to be drunk. For me, ML was the star of this drama...even though FL was, indeed, very likeable. Although she had a cute appearance, she was not 'cutesy' in her mannerisms. She was actually sort of the straight guy to ML's comedy, but she wasn't cold and unlikeable like some of those Chinese FLs who play the 'serious' role. She was warm and sunny yet capable. Even her bestie wasn't the typical dingbag - she was likeable as well - it was cute when she was running away from the secretary after being caught taking photos.
There's really not a lot to say because, like I said, it was short, sweet and fluffy. Yeah, we got some templates (falling into kisses, blood phobia, childhood connection, etc.), but the cuteness and adorability (is that a word?) of ML made up for those worn out tropes. I really prefer MLs who have unique characters, not the Abominable Snowmen who never seem to melt enough to cause you to like them. I'm not a fan of the stone-faced MLs.
If you want something light-hearted and sweetness that'll make you smile and laugh, watch this drama!

Surprisingly "Unbelieveable"
Usually when watching drama about male lead CEO, all of them are cool, charismatic, less talk, cold eyes, arrogant, etc (you name it). But, after watching this drama, seems like not all male lead CEO are like that. In this drama, we can see how "absurd" he is, like having super high confidence, narcistic, funny, 'foolish' act, and cute. And for the female lead, she is strong, smart, caring, and also cute.Overall for the story plot and the acting are still ok for me. The chemistry between ML and FL are good.
After watching this, you will always keep in your mind that this is "unbelievable"

Mais um drama com clichê do clichê
Mais um drama com clichê do clichê (CEO rico e menina pobre). Eu até gosto de dramas clichê, mas esse a história não me agradou muito.O ML até que percebeu que gosta da FL rápido, más até o momento em que ela decidiu namorar ele, eu simplesmente não vi em nenhum momento que ela gostava dele. Teve algumas raras cenas que rolou um clima mais pela música de fundo que passou esse clima, mas fora isso não senti que ela gostava dele e me parecia que ele realmente era um incomodo para ela.
Outra coisa que me incomodou é que o protagonista é muito bobão. Park Seo Jun fe um CEO arrogante legal, mas esse dai parecia simplesmente ridículo.
