A cliche rom-com done amazingly well!

This was such a treat to watch. It actually had me looking forward to Mondays. The drama had me hooked from the very first episode. Sure it's a plot we have seen often, fake dating to real, and it had almost every cliche mentionable, but everything was done right and tastefully. Even scenes you would think to be over the top were done really well. I think the fact that it didn't take itself too seriously and fully embraced the comedy-style romance, worked in its favor. There's not one moment where I felt this is too cheesy or awkward. As a bonus, there were no silly misunderstandings that lead to over-dramatic break-ups and whatnot. Both couples had incredible communication and it was refreshing to see. Not to mention that their chemistry was off the charts. Even if I had to, I couldn't pick which couple I enjoyed watching more. The cast was absolutely fantastic. Everyone acted well and fit their roles perfectly. I already loved Kim Mingyu and Kim Sejong, but this drama decidedly put Ahn Hyo Seop and Seol In Ah on my radar and I couldn't be happier.

Apart from that, I enjoyed every moment the side characters were on my screen. Whether it be Hari's family, the chairman, or food development team 1, I laughed in joy every time. Sure there were a couple of annoying ones, but their screentime was minimal so I won't complain.

I am also super glad that they decided to only film 12 episodes. I think that's the perfect number. Because of it, they were able to get the pacing just right. I never thought that any scenes were unnecessarily dragged on, or even worse rushed through. Also, I wish there was a section to rate the production or editing because it was so well done in this drama. Whether it be the silly animations, the words, or flashbacks, nothing felt out of place or kiddish. The director and editors did a great job.

This was a great drama that had me looking forward to the week and was sure to put a smile on my face. Sometimes you need a sweet, fluffy, and funny drama. Not everything has to be deep and meaningful. This fills that purpose and it was a joy to watch.
