The Best Fanservice
I’m so so glad they did a mini spin-off of Ja Yeon and Gyu Hyun’s story! Lee Sang Yi and Han Ji Hyeon have incredible chemistry, and I’m so excited we got to see an extension of their relationship.These two are hilarious, both in the main series and spin-off. The meta storyline was brilliant and had me cackling/uwu-ing the whole time. I’ve watched a lot of kdramas, but this whole idea was super fresh!
It’s about time Lee Sang Yi got to be a leading man in a rom com! Don’t get me wrong, I love him in action stuff, but he’s certainly got the looks and energy for this too. His character in both the main and side series was so different from what I’ve seen him do before.
Han Ji Hyeon also stole my heart in both series. She’s so talented and beautiful, and I hope to see her in more shows! I like that this side series also made sure to include elements of her real-life trauma, perfectly blending in Ja Yeon’s hopes. It was surprisingly touching and tied in well to the main story. This also explained why she suddenly started developing feelings for Gyu Hyun.
I seriously want to petition for these two to work together again! Great chemistry!
Also, Lee Sang Yi sounded great singing the OST!

My Heart…
I wasn’t sure what to expect going in. I knew Cho Yi Hyun from All of Us Are Dead but otherwise had no other knowledge of it. It surpassed any expectations and was charming, funny, emotional, and heartfelt. The overall cast was amazing, but I’d say Cho Yi Hyun, Choo Young Woo, and Choo Ja Hyun were the standouts! Young Woo’s ability to switch so seamlessly between Gyeon-u and Bong-su was impressive and he made both equally likeable. Yi Hyun is adorable as always, and she brought so much sincerity to her character. The love triangle managed to be cute and wholesome without ruining the plot; the 3 leads had a great dynamic and I wish we could have seen more of them! I also wish we got to see more of adult Seong-A and Gyeong-u’s budding relationship…Overall a very enjoyable watch. I laughed a lot, blushed, and cried. Definitely a rewatch!
