Kdrama cliches done right

I put this drama off for so long assuming it'd be another overrated snooze fest. I finally watched it and am so glad to be proved wrong! The story is definitely not perfect. You have amnesia and chaebols and bribery and rich guy/poor girl tropes, but it's still surprisingly refreshing. The "rich guy" is goofy and cute, and not some rude, aloof character. The poor girl is smart and resourceful, not necessarily always in need of a savior. The chaebol family is refreshingly mostly kind to each other. Even the villain isn't constantly seeking to end someone's life. The "other girl" character is of course rude, but not overly so where it just gets annoying. It was definitely nice to see them not so focused on revenge after all the revenge dramas that have come out this past year (2023/24). It was just a very cute and endearing drama and the story never slowed down or became boring. The music is not all original but oh wow, they picked great songs. Lots of classics. Definitely one of my new favorites.

The only think I disliked was the second ML. He was okay, but just seemed so old. Kinda creeped me out. He seemed more like a big brother not a love interest. Didn't bother me too much ultimately though.
