I’m glad that I watched it

What a show. The show was so good that I finished it in 2 days. Watched all episodes back to back and I have a love hate relationship ship with it. It’s a super slow burn romance but with really good story that makes me want to watch more
The cast of the show is super good. I loved how all of them matched together
Lee Jung Jae as Im Hyeon is a very unique MC. He is playing a role of a rich actor and for the first time the MC was not doing weird stuff. He was not reserving whole restaurant just for a date or other stuff that you usually saw rich MCs do. Instead he is a patient character who have is own problems and get better during the show
Im Ji Yeon as Wi Jeong Sin is your general cute FMC which I really liked. She is super lovely and cute
Kim Ji Hoon as Ju Jae Hyeong started his role as love rival for MC but later find a better place. Really loved him after I finished the show
Seo Ji Hye as Yun Hwa Yeong was the reason I watched this show. I watched “crash landing on you” before and really loved her acting. Because of that I add this show to my watchlist and her acting in here was also a banger. She was shown as a lead female but unfortunately with less focus on her. Still love how she plays her role. It was great
I’m not going in details for each side character but I love them all
The story is super good. It’s interesting, have a good mystery, great pacing, but one thing I didn’t like that much was some aspects of the story
The show starts a mystery at ep 1 then forgot about it until ep 12-14. Or if it’s not forgotten the hints are super small and forgivable. It’s not only about the mystery but I feel that in some other parts of the story as well. If I want to break story into some smaller stories I would organize it this way:
1- main love story (which can be broken in 1st and 2nd half with 1st half being MC and his rivalry chasing for FMC and 2nd half is when FMC understands her feeling towards MC until the end)
2- sub love story (romance between other couple)
3- mystery story
4- the general story of the show that everything is happening during that
1- main love story is good in general. The first half is perfect. The 2nd half is good. Doesn’t felt as good as first half but it was still good
2- sub love story had feels to be shorten. I felt like some stuff are happening without a very good explanations or they could implanted better. It was understandable but could be better
3- the mystery and how the show deals with the bad guys were meh to me. It felt rushed, shorten, and unexplained. There was a character who seems to be a bad character at first. And later we found out she is a victim as well. But the show doesn’t give us a proper explanation about what happened to any of them afterwards. I think they tried to keep everything half way open so viewers can decide things for them selves but when it comes to other aspects we have lots of ideas about what happened or why that happened but about the mystery it feels like out of nowhere. No explanation, no story. Just being there because writer want it to be there
4- general story was the best imo. It was what I really liked the most. The show is a comedy melodrama and in the story they joke a lot that if MC wants to play a melodrama he will only end up with a support roles or guest roles. I really liked how they connect the show story to the actual show and I found it kinda funny

Thanks for reading this far. My last word for you: if you are looking for something fun to watch which actually worth it this one is the one imo
