Quality Swoon-worthy entertainment

This drama seriously deserves a better rating. I would've binged it in one day, had I not had to get up early the next day. So instead I binged it in two days and it is definitely going to be a comfort drama for me in the future.

Of course it didn't hurt that I already liked both leads before this. Secret was one of my favorite 2nd gen girl groups, so I adore Song Ji Eun. And Sung Hoon I've had a crush on ever since Oh My Venus. But it wasn't just the actors that made this so enjoyable. The story was exactly what I'd been looking for: a cute romance, but not in a boring way, with lots of funny moments and swoon-worthy scenes. Despite basically being "only" a love story with barely any side plots, it always kept me engaged and immediately clicking "next episode". Their chemistry is great, the side characters are very funny and lovable and I also really liked the OST.

The only points of criticism I have, are that the last few episodes had way too many flashbacks and that the intro was always spoiling the episode. I liked the drawings in the intro but couldn't they have chosen scenes from previous episodes instead of the upcoming one? Kind of a strange choice. (Also, this drama had the fakest fake snow I've ever seen and I didn't quite get the ending tbh). But honestly, I loved this a lot and I'm definitely going to rewatch it.
