Found this drama on Netflix, randomly, as you do after watching an amazing drama previously. The thumbnail of the drama looked really cute and the synopsis was short and sweet which now that I have completed the drama makes me wish I came on MDL early to get a slightly more detailed synopsis.

So 5 mins or so into the drama, I'm hearing the male lead responding to other characters in Chinese whilst everyone else was speaking in Korean (minus the 2 other characters) which left me a little confused because I wasn't sure if it was a one off. Half the time it made me think of Stewie from Family Guy (baby who somehow everyone except for his own parents are able to understand when he speaks - for those who have never seen the show.)

Anyways, back to the drama. I really enjoyed the story and for me it felt refreshing because for once its the man who is the poor one or at least just for a little while but I really liked that he didn't let the fame and fortune go to his head. The story itself was very sweet. You really get to understand why both leads are the way they are.

I enjoyed both male and female lead's interaction. Whilst I don't think the romance was rushed I do wish they spent a little more time on them as a couple and developing the romance a little more. Saying that I also loved the male lead's parents and the interaction they had with the little brother. I can't say I cared too much about the second couple or the female doppelganger who were both extremely annoying, needy, greedy, selfish and clingy . It didn't go unnoticed that the second male lead disappeared at one point in the drama.

I'm sorry but I would not rewatch this even though it is rewatchable as its a cute drama with a good story.

I recommend this drama to those who love cute romcoms that's mixed in with a bit of corruption and other crimes.
