Looking for my next j-drama to watch, skipping all jidaigeki and other genres I am not even faintly interested in, aiming preferably for drama/comedy/romance, even there skipping all the warped-relationship ones (quite a lot of those, too), I tried this one. It has a fantasy element added but hey, I searched long and it's not easy to find something. I opened MDL site for this drama and there is a gallery with not only poster pictures but also drama stills including the subtitle. So I found out the God in this one is a funny character, which is great. But then, it also means that he won't just appear one time only. That he may be more fun and more attractive than the (romantic) lead! So, my only worry was THAT would probably be the main problem of the drama. That bromance might be better than the romance:)
Still, I did give this a shot.

And yes, I sure enjoyed the main-guy/God interactions way more than the main-guy/main-girl interactions. Ironically, since the God's intervention, main girl grows to dislike main guy so much that he's got less chances to date her than if he just kept randomly meeting her at the elevator. As his attempts grew more and more desperate and actually drew his girl from him further and futher, I just wondered why the God did not appear to HER to explain the situation. After all, the woman with her biological clock ticking she wished for a child, did she not? But, I did enjoy the two guys scenes the most so, what the hell.

The side characters are interesting, though also annoying. Romance is nice, though I did not like the main girl (also the actress has weird cheek dimples in both cheeks when she smiles, it changes her face), bromance has a poignant twist in epi 9/10, but in the final it is absent entirely. I would not rewatch this.

By the way, the ending credits would make good opening credits.
