Into the ring was one of my favorite surprises of 2020. I started watching with zero knowledge of the plot, and only because one of my favorite singers, chuu from loona, was part of the ost and since I adore the song I decided to give it a chance and I'm so glad I did. I ended up loving the story and getting obsessed with it.
The acting was really good, the leads had a great chemistry between then and we love a healthy relationship, they are the most obvious in love couple trying too keep their relationship a secret while is clear to everyone that they love each other and I'm ALL FOR THAT.
Extra kudos for Goo Se Ra for being iconic, her scenes are so good and I laughed a lot.
This drama is painfully underrated and it hurts because I had such a good time and loved watching it ♡

I got curious about this drama while it was airing because of the ost: Jinsoul from Loona is part of it and my orbit brain is simple: I see Loona, I click it, but since I saw a lot of negative reviews, I didn't watch at that time, - now I decided to give a shot and I regret so much for not doing it sooner. Honestly, don't understand how it was so many negative reviews, it's such a cute heartwarming story, the atmosphere is so nice and cozy, I felt drawn to it immediately.

If you're looking for a lighthearted drama with a charming protagonist, couple scenes that make you smile because they are so adorable and full of light-hearted moments it's perfect for you. The ost was really good and complimented the scenes very well. Also, the secondary couple was cute too.

One of the main things that I liked the best about is that all the characters were likable, even the ones I initially didn't enjoy at the beginning, I ended up warming up to them eventually. At the start, I thought the second lead was obnoxious and rude, but his friendship with Hong Jo was so funny and he eventually became was such a good friend to both leads - romantic feeling aside, that my bad opinion of him didn't stay that way for long. Eun Ji Eun, another character that won me over, even though I didn't think highly of her at the beginning. Most of my childhood friends are introverted and timid like her, so I loved how she stayed the same, only grew more confident in herself.

Most scenes leave you with a smile on your face, there's a little bit of angst at the end, but it manageable. Overall, it was a positive experience and I would recommend it ♡

I admit that I didn't enjoy the first two episodes that much and only keep watching because the actors: I loved them on 'goblin' so much and needed the angst-free experience. My first impression of the characters wasn't very good, I thought that the girl was annoying and privileged and thought the male lead would be rude to her all the time and I hate that trope, however, my bad opinion didn't last long.

I'm glad I decided to keep watching because in a short time this drama and the characters won me over, and I enjoyed watching it so much. It became one of my favorite dramas this year and I'm planning on rewatching soon. While the show predominantly has a light atmosphere, it also deals with some heavy themes, but it doesn't lose its essence. I didn't feel like I was watching a different show.

I personally loved Oh Yoon Seo to bits, she's so sweetheart and I laughed a lot because of her antics, she's genuinely a good person and I can't help to want to protect and shelter her from all the evil of the world. It was so nice to see her grow and mature over the episodes. Her relationship with Kwon Jung Rok is so sweet, I smiled so much at every interaction they had. I loved how affectionate they are with each other and expressed their feelings.

The side characters are nice too, I enjoyed the office dynamic and how everyone accepted Oh Yoon Seo so well and treated her nicely. Also, the secondary couple was really fun. I'm weak for a good "rivals to lovers" and their scenes together are the funniest.
