a very refreshing romcom

This show is light, fluffy, and fun. It seemed like it's gonna be nothing too deep, but in its own way it teaches you a lot and touches up some social problems along the way.
The drama started off extremely well, I was enjoying their dynamics and the situations they were thrown into. I thought the main couple had amazing chemistry! The female lead's character was very different from your average female lead. She was open, expressive and always communicated her feelings. Very refreshing if you ask me!
The humor in the drama was very entertaining. The relationships of the leads with others were very cute! I loved the friendship of the female lead and her friends. I like how normalized women and men being friends are shown.
The issues of treating women as objects were unexpectedly touched on, I was quite impressed.
The couple had a very healthy relationship, always conveyed their feelings, took consent, and were very respectful to each other. This is a rare concept in the drama world.
Seonwoo's character development was the best part of the drama, I also loved doyeon, who always brought a smile to my face. The siblings were cute.
Kang Hana who played a completely different character in start-up, did a 180° change, this role suited her so well, I loved her character! Her relationship with the do jae jin was fun too!
The casting was really well done, the actors all did a great job. Osts, especially the one sung by Jeong Se Woon was a whole new world, it's so magical.
Now, on to the nitpicking. The chemistry of the leads progressively reduced. Her calling her "sir" when they are dating?? It is the most awkward thing I have witnessed in my life. Also, them dating as professor/student was so uncomfortable for me, that was the point I started to nitpicking.
Their chemistry from super refreshing and cute turned into a business relationship. I really didn't feel much by the end of it all. Though there were some cute things here and there that saved the ratings.
The storyline also started dragging a little, with some boring aspects that I ended up skipping.
Overall a fun drama, I'd recommend it for someone looking for something light.
