A very cute romance (but warning it's kinda a slow burn for the FL)

Ok so let's be clear from the start this drama wasn't a masterpiece but I still wish it was longer because it did its job pretty well for a short drama.

For starters, the first 2 episodes were weirdly hard to follow (the subtitles were moving too fast because the characters were talking very very fast for some reason) but fortunately it was much better in the next episodes and I began to truly enjoy it then. If I am being honest, the whole show is carried by the ML. I already saw the actor in Cinderella and the 4 knights and I really wasn't a fan of his character so I started this drama without expecting too much but his acting here definitely changed my mind. I wish he did some other romance/modern drama or maybe a more villainous role, it seems he would be great at it !

Like I said before, the story isn't very exciting or new and is full of clichés (super rich and mean guy falls for a pretty and gentle girl) but it still worked ! The chemistry was present and I also liked the FL since she dosen't let the ML bully her or change her ways because of him and it's always a GOOD thing to watch. I know some people didn't like the fact that she fell in love with the ML much later than him (even if it's implied) but well sorry not sorry I 200% love when the guy is clearly madly in love with his love interest and is acting a little pathetic because of that lol. I live for the "angst", the longing, the worrying, etc etc, especially when it's all coming from the guy (and don't worry it's a happy ending of course).

It sure would have been great if we had more time with them being an official couple, but since the drama was 95% all about them, I guess it wasn't really necessary in the end. Saying that, it's a shame the secondary characters weren't really developed and so their relationships with one another felt very one dimensional. Still, with only 20 episodes of 15 minutes each, a majority of the characters were quite likeable.

In conclusion, if you don't have high expectations and want to see a "high end" crush developing (mainly from the guy's perspective) without any breakup happening then give it a try !!
