"De-puff your cheeks or I'll pop them"

The whole premise for this show is bonkers. So many super wrong behaviors just get written off with light comedy. But whatever, it was ok for a quick light watch. It was not, however, clever or sensical. So many leaps were made with so little justification. The chemistry wasn't terrible, except the male lead. I don't know if he was trying to come off as aloof and misinterpreted that as being above emotion as well, but I just didn't get any sort of good feeling from him in this drama compared to the other dramas he's been in...his emotion for everything was listless, whether rage, love, or annoyance, same face for them all. He had a lot of good dry one-liners though, which provided a nice platform for the FL to rebound off of.

The female lead was cute and engaging with massive eyes...but they stole too much of her character from Strong Woman Do Bong Soon....except the entire show she's tossing dudes around like they're nothing but in the end she can't defend herself at all suddenly? Still, her character was good and the execution was pretty well done, she had a lot of great comedy moments.

All in all, I don't regret watching it, but it fell pretty flat for me.
