A Mood Lightener

The drama is fun and fluffy, a very surface level kind of intimacy. Most of the drama focuses on the couple and barely anything on themselves individually, making it hard (personally) to connect with any of the characters. Though there is a bit of conflict, the story doesn't go into it and doesn't put much thought into it. I believe a good drama or relationship should have some conflict to allow the viewer to easily get into the story and immerse themselves.

Pros:
- Couple chemistry
- quick episodes
- calming/ light atmosphere

Cons:
- very little story development (not much conflict to move the story on)
- Little view of the characters' lives
- not long enough to connect with the characters

My thoughts:
I would recommend this drama to those in the mood for no angst and a short series that requires very little thinking to watch. It contains many fluffy moments that many viewers , good for lightening up one's mood. Though it is supposed to be a rom-com, there's not much comedy, but the overall atmosphere the drama creates is very calming.

A nice concept for a kbl, though not new, it is well made. Compared to another kbl ,Semantic Error ,which has a similar concept, the immersion is just not as strong. But the showcase of the couple is definitely better in this drama. More fluffy moments together.

The drama is very short and doesn't take much of your time, if you are looking for a short and easy drama, this is definitely for you. However, it might be because of this short episodes that the story is not fully developed.

As said before, it is, personally, very hard to connect with any of the characters in the story without good conflict or showcase of their personalities.

It is a bit overrated as the "best Korean bl in 2023" but it is up there so far (personally believe that Eighth Sense is better) due to little development in the story and nothing that is special or out-of-this-world. Overall, fun, fluffy, and cute, but too simple.
