First and foremost, my rating is probably lower than it should be, because I am not this show's target audience. Nonetheless, I found aspects of this show thoroughly enjoyable and I do recommend.

As someone on the ace spec, I couldn't really connect with with the driving plot. And some scenes relating to it, especially in the first episode, felt pretty cringy - probably in part due to this fact.

But with complete sincerity, there were plenty of moments that had me giggling, face-palming, and/or cheering. So, I would consider the story an overall success. The characters' chemistry had me rooting for them from the very beginning - I never swayed towards the second lead (although he does deserve happiness as well - they never turned him into a villain (I am so happy about that)). And the duality present in all the characters was intriguing, but felt organic, natural, and not-at-all overdone. As such, the actors did a fantastic job.

The intro sequence music personally annoyed me, it seemed excessively preppy, and was much louder than the rest of the show. But the show does have a good bit of rewatch value, especially when you get the male lead's perspective towards the end of everything that had happened so far.

And for those looking for spicier Asian dramas, this is a pretty good one.
