Script is not perfect but the chemistry is!
I had a ton of fun watching this. K-rom-coms have generally been a bit hit-or-miss for me since the shift to the compressed 12-episode format, but this one still worked... for the most part until ep 8 or so. I love both leads, and their chemistry was so convincing (IMO) that it made it easy to overlook some of the weaker aspects of the show.
I am biased, though, since I've watched almost all of Yang Se-jong's previous work. He consistently nails every role he takes on, but because he usually plays more serious characters, it was such a treat to see him in a comedic role. His facial expressions were absolutely hilarious. That escalator suitcase scene I just died 5x over!
Reasons to watch this:
1. The leads are charming and carry the show on their backs
2. It's a fun, fluffy rom-com that doesn't demand much brainpower. In fact, the writers would probably prefer if you asked fewer questions.
3. Great OSTs
Skip through: those lame characters (no fault to the actors but just at the script level)
1. Ha-ri - girl has NOTHING to do all day every day
2. ML 2nd's - began as wallpaper and evolved into creepy
3. After ep 8 too much power struggle instead of solving ghost murders.
4. Prolonged stares .... ok I love a good slow burn romance but at some point it gets excessive
5. Product placement and added lines
6. Lazy writing in the end.
Overall this has been one of the stronger 2026 K Rom Coms but doesn't make any less frustrating when you see it goes down hill.
