This is such a good rom-com and a really easy watch. My only complaint is that it could go without the tragic past, it does not fit with the show's vibe and does not add anything to the story either. I also agree with other reviewers who have said that the characters are very one dimensional. But that's OK because of the end of the day we are after something enjoyable and fun to watch which is what this show succeeds in doing.

I like that the male lead already knows he likes her early on in the show, since many other dramas make it take forever for any real progress. And she subconsciously has feelings for him too. And one thing I like about the ML's character is instead of him being a cold prick (like many other dramas) he is just narcissistic and arrogant lol. And he has a nice side to him too.

But man I ship the couple so much

- so fluffy!!!!!
- several kiss scenes!!! all amazing
- happy ending!!! (and Lee Young Joon's line when talking about where they will travel to “who cares where we go, we’ll never leave our room anyway” omgggggg)
- Lee Yeong-jun’s several cute jealous scenes (and she gets jealous too aww)
- They never suffer through any unnecessary angst!!! Cuteness throughout the majority of the show??
- Yeah, just the fact that they are the focus of the show, like that is the story - their relationship
- The parents approve of her well before they even start dating (even hinting to her to get together!!) aka. the mum of the rich CEO approves of his girlfriend?? Unheard of in the land of kdramas
- He was in love with her ever since he saw her again?? Secretly loved her for 9 years of being her boss, and never let any of his ‘girlfriends’ touch him, ever. Only her
- I just, they treat each other so well??? They are goals in every way

I just loved the overall style of the show. The cute little background noises, the colours, the fashion, and the laid-backness of it all. And all the side ships are so cute too!! I love Lee Yeong-jun’s friend President Park, aka his relationship counsellor lmao. He had some great lines

Overall, the characters were so enjoyable and although they were predictable, they were still funny and likeable.

All in all, for a cute rom com, this show wins all the awards
