Cute but not cringy

I'm sick and tired of the cutesy cdramas where the girl is a complete brainless ditz and the guy is a super achiever, super handsome ass who has never heard of manners or consent.

But this show despite being 'cute' is alot of fun and has surprisingly alot of depth. The girl has spunk, grit and has great growth outside of the love angle. Her focus is not on getting the 'master' to love her. In fact he is the one who keeps looking for her attention so we are spared the customary fawning over the male lead. Despite the outlandish premise, the characters feel like real people.

The acting is also good. Both the leads can act well.
The actress does not go into the annoying cringy territory and pulls off comedy with ease. Also all these cold tsundre type of characters are usually played with actors with zero skills who think barking at the girl and having no facial expressions is acting. But here the actor is wonderful. He has amazing expressions and does not let the character fall into the cliche category.

In the last month I've seen atleast 10 super popular young love cdramas (lockdown) and 90% of them are just rubbish. This one is good. Really good. Not a complete 10 bec the last 3-4 episodes are useless, sappy, and badly written. But everything before that is A+
