a cute, realistic and health representation of what love should be on dramas

I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely went way beyond my expectations, for better and for worse.

Overall, it's a light drama, so don't expect complexity and plots with great subjects to be explored.

it's a drama that realistically talks about how a fake relationship REALLY works. There aren't that many clichés, in fact, I think there could be more and maybe, who knows, the show would be more enjoyable for me.

It's a show about relationships and life, but not only that, it's also about timing. Unfortunately, for me, although the construction of the MC was really interesting, I still think that the writers miss the timing. The couple could have more romantic interaction from the moment they made their feelings clear, but that didn't happen. Tbh, was quite the opposite scenary, cuz we basically didn't have moments of them together, only in the final episode

Despite everything, it's a good representation of what romances in dramas should be: no arm pulling, a respectful and calm ML, who knows how to respect the FL space and understands what individuality means. While we have all these positives and even decent chemistry between the main actors, the story didn't have enough interesting content to keep me 100% focused on it.

I think the drama of the secondary couple was a little annoying, and that helped me want to end it quickly.

And, of course, the unfilled gaps were also an issue for me.

I would like to add that I didn't really like the performance of the main actress, I thought she had little expression, but I don't know if that was intentional, since her character seems to be more introverted.

Otherwise, I felt that the good chemistry between the main actors was wasted, which is a shame.

It was an average drama that, while cute, I wouldn't watch again.
