This drama might as well be considered as a "longer web drama" as I felt that it had more qualities of a web drama than an actual typical Korean drama. The execution of the story itself was similar to how they would in web dramas — the plot was underdeveloped and was wrapped up quickly during the last episode. This drama had traded a good development in its mystery and romance for comedic scenes that I thought was more often that not unnecessary. (I am more appreciative of a good balance. But each to their own, you know? If you're a fan of these little funny parts in your dramas, then go for this one. The grandmother witches and the secretary were quite fun at times~) All I'm saying is that the writers wanted this drama to be lighthearted and they wanted things to be very simple. They showed us just that with this drama (hence why I said that there were plenty of things that were obviously underdeveloped).
Despite the somewhat quick romance (which I honestly was not a fan of as I'm still a bit confused about the romantic development), the romantic moments were adorable and heart fluttering. The kisses shared were very sweet. Though, it was understandable that the writers had to make haste with the romance as they only had 12 episodes to work with and they wanted to have quite a lot of fillers involving the side characters. Also, I found that not a lot of people were big fans of the male lead (I wasn't either. I wish they could have written him a little better?), but he was actually not that bad towards the end. Seriously, there had been worse out there.
The actors did an okay performance for this drama and I thought that their acting was fit for this kind of drama. The same goes for the chosen songs for the OST~
Overall, I think that I wouldn't recommend this drama to others unless they haven't got anything else to see and want something short and lighthearted to watch. I actually thought the drama seemed like a very short manhwa adaptation, but I think that I've read more developed manhwas than this drama. Honestly, in the end, I thought, "That was it?" It would leave you wanting more as like I kept on saying, it's not that written well in comparison to other dramas which has similar themes. There are 1hr~2hr movies that could manage to fit a good story and well-developed romance with added fantasy and mystery elements better than how the writers did for this 12 episode drama.
