Not the best adaptation, but a wonderful drama!

I was a huge fan of the webtoon so when I saw it was getting an adaptation I was over the moon. With that in mind, I obviously had a lot of expectations and couldn't stop comparing it to the source material which doesn't do this justice. There were a lot of differences and I realized if I didn't just think of it as a separate entity then I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. With all that said, that's why I found it way more enjoyable on my second watch, because I just watched it as a cute drama and not an adaptation.
The actor playing Haebom is SO adorable, it's honestly devastating.
They're a bit (extremely) stiff and awkward at first, but in the second half of the drama they get over that and loosen up a lot. I suppose they were supposed to be uncomfortable together, so it makes sense, but with the way it was done it just seemed like the actors themselves were rigid.
I love the dynamic switch up after they officially begin dating though, because Taesung becomes such a brat in the most unexpected and cute way, and I think it was done very well! Plus Haebom gets more confident in their interactions, so we get to see a lot of sweet moments. There were a couple questionable things on Taesung's part, but he addressed that he was in the wrong so I guess that's good?
The music is alright, nothing too memorable. Production wise, there are a couple shots that don't look great, but nothing too egregious.
I can't really seem to give a full on proper review of this since I'm mostly just gushing, but it's just that sweet! When you're in the mood for a lighthearted, adorable, easy watch that's guaranteed to have lots of wholesome moments, this is perfect for that.
