•WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID OF FAILURE, BUT BE MORE AFRAID OF THE REGRET WE WILL FEEL IF WE DIDN'T TRY.
•WE SHOULD NOT FEEL SORRY FOR BEING OUR SELVES.
•FAILURE GIVES US BIGGER STEPS TO SUCCEED

these are just some of the things I have learned from this drama, and I am more than happy ?

As you may all see, the plot is very unusual for a cdrama. A comet with a mysterious powers landed to earth brings about wonderful human relationship??? At first i was unsure about this drama, like who will name something very important in their drama like a comet as WTF666??? Are they wasting money for this nonsense? I felt hesitant to watch this, and it stayed so long on my watch list honestly. I admit I am skeptical to dramas before watching, i always make sure reviews are good, it is high rated or in short i have to make sure that I wouldn't waste my time. As a cdrama enthusiast for this whole quarantine period, i have been witnessing the pacing and story development that these silly writers were doing in every dramas that i have watched: meeting of the leads>bickering>falling in love>high dose of swoony scenes> enter ex>either FL or ML will be unreasonable> misunderstandings and 'WTF?!' moments> either: leads end up marrying or just look at each other and leave us up there hanging.

But this drama, you have to see it's really different. I wasn't expecting that drama that i was so hesitant to watch, will make me binge for just 2 Days?! They started off having their own relationships> they met bcs of the comet and their pets> they became competitors on business> they experience break ups, and had no one except each other bcs of their entanglement which is the comet's doing,>became friends>became roommates>fell in love with each other>faced ups and downs in their personal and business life>but finally end up together.

I know many cdrama watchers tend to dislike dramas which only has great first half of episodes and get draggy until the end. But this is really different, the 'draggy' part is on the beginning, but for me it isn't that draggy at all it will make you feel curious why it started differently with them having their own bf and gf, and that curiosity will make you anticipate for the next episodes. Then you will finally understand their whole situation and the importance of WTF666. While watching the drama, i laughed many times, i sympathize with their sorrow, and admire their genuine love and friendship. I can't explain my whole understanding about the lesson of the drama but i feel it in my heart honestly. They carefully made the pacing interesting.

I especially love Miao Yu and Wang Chen so much! I really like their characters. The chemistry they have is overflowing, whenever they have interactions i just feel excited and thrilled. I love their understanding with each other, their respect and the effort they make to fill each of their own and their partner's shortcomings. Their personality truly fit each other. And oh my holy mother earth!! they are wearing matching clothes (not shirts, they wear matching colors and styles!!!) and their bickering as a couple made me envy them very much!!!! ughhhh. I want to label them as the best Cdrama couple that I have ever watched so far!

Even the supporting characters are just equally good.
I really want to emphasize the character development in this drama is on the top. They faced failures whether it's on their relationships, business or attitude. The drama will show how the characters: the main leads and their exes strive to become the best versions of their selves.

The OSTs too! Wow, i really like it and it fits every scenes. The instrumentals helped create the right emotions that every scenes wants to depict.

Unlike other dramas that has its own business story, i love what this drama have shown me. As a business student, i felt motivated and inspired. I actually understand many things from here. I have to thank this drama really!!!

This drama has it's own flaws too, but i just let go of my judgement and watch this freely. But I have to say this drama will be one of my favorites from now on, along side le coup de foudre. This will always have a special place in my heart and like Le Coup de Foudre, will make me remember scenes that made me genuinely happy and thrilled.
