A complete package of romantic comedy, fantasy, horror, and thrillers.

*CHEF'S KISS*
Started watching this show primarily because of Bo Ah and Rowoon & the synopsis sounded fascinating. I had high hopes going into this, and you know what? I wasn't disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed every episode.

The best part of this show is the chemistry. With such lines LMAO, this show could have easily been cringe, but thanks to the actors, it turned out to be a cute one. ShinHong can easily go from being cute and funny to hot and sexy in just a few seconds. Rowoon and Bo Ah whenever on screen, the scene is gonna be lit for sure.

CHARACTERS: For the first 3 eps, Bo Ah's relatable portrayal of Hong Jo, our FL, her sense of loneliness and emptiness initially drew me in more. And I thought Shin Yu was more of a jerk, but as the plot progressed, he steadily grew into the most ADMIRABLE character on the show. Unexpectedly in the last 8 eps, he transformed into a green flag. I adore him so much. Kwon Jae Kyung our 2ML was a smart & nice character I liked each and every scene he was in.
* SPECIAL MENTION to Mr. Gong and Ms. Ma. They both were so adorable. Loved Mr. Gong's unwavering support for her.

ACTING: Bo Ah nailed bubbly Hong Jo, which deserves praise because it differs so much from the other roles she has played, which have tended to be more smart and strong. However, Rowoon's performance deserves special mention because he made such significant progress. I've always appreciated him more for his characters not acting but here he earned praise for the emotions he displayed and acted as Shin Yu. The emotions of being lonely, being in love, and the fear of losing Hong Jo etc etc.. were shown so realistically by him.

The director balanced the emotions well; if one episode was filled with strong emotions, the other was just as lighthearted and enjoyable. There are many minute details in the scenes and dialogue. The present story has a cute and happy ending, which balances out the backstory's sadness and tragic end.
The cinematography and camera angles were nice. But editing could've been better.
At last, I'm gonna miss them, miss the excitement I felt on Wed and Thu. Miss my SHINHONG couple.
