I liked this drama well enough that I finished it in two weeks, but it did not stir deeper emotions within me. The story is quite simple, so the characters drive most of the drama and it fits the concept really well.

Both of the main couples are interesting and keep the dynamic tempo of the show. This was a highlight for me. I also liked the secondary characters, even the extended families - they felt real enough not to be just props, which often happens in light dramas as these. Every single character had an agency, which was very nice.

Han Se Gye was an excellent lead. So gutsy, which really suited the drama. I must also give credit to the "temporary" Se Gyes, who were all highly skilled and gave excellent performances.

The downsides of the drama were definitely the culminating parts in the second half that were unnecessarily dramatic (what an unusual situation within a drama, haha) and bumped the lightness of the show and somehow rubbed me the wrong way. I also maybe expected a bit more from the main couple and maybe some originality.

The music was nice, I still keep humming the main songs under my breath.

Overall, this is a "harmless" drama, I laughed a lot and there is quite a couple of kick-ass female characters. It was worth my time and it probably will be worth yours as well.
