Pretty enjoyable

I didn't read the webtoon so I don't have anything to compare this to. Probably one of the reason why I enjoyed this as much as I did.

Beyond all the cliches, I actually think the story is interesting. Someone who has inferiority complex tries to overcome her complex through make-up. While everyone was fighting over Suho or Seo Jun, I was really rooting for Ju Kyung's character development. If we compare the first episode to the last, it was Ju Kyung that has a lot of growth. I'm not too sold with the yet again another love triangle. I liked both the male leads' characters too. None of them is a jerk and are actually really good people. Whoever Ju Kyung ended up with would've been okay for me. I also think the slapstick comedy is fun and just the right amount.

Moon Ga Young has always been great with her roles. I can't imagine anyone playing Ju Kyung as well as her. I do think this is quite an easy role for her and didn't showcase so much of her acting capabilities. Cha Eun Woo's role as Suho is too much like his Gangnam Beauty role but I still appreciate that he showed more emotions here compared to his last two series I watched. Props to him for improving. The surprise for me here is Hwang In Yeop. He nailed his role perfectly. I haven't watched him in anything yet and I'm regretting that. I look forward to seeing him in more lead roles in the future.

Although not a masterpiece candidate but this is an easy and delightful watch.
