This drama is the equivalent of reading the CliffsNotes instead of the real book

This series is extremely short, but covers a vast array of drama tropes. It wasn't bad, just rushed through very quickly which took away any emotional impact for me, like it was a synopsis of a longer story.

the main character is constantly getting injured or falling over and her main love interest is always there to catch her, there is fake dating, childhood sweethearts, misunderstandings which break a couple up, more fake dating, random slow motion scenes for no reason, couples almost kissing and repeatedly being interrupted at the last minute, and happy endings for characters who were barely in the series, etc.

All the actors seemed to do an ok job with a fairly mediocre script, but I've never seen them in anything else, so I don't know if they would do better with better writing.

I did like how supportive the friend group around the main female lead behaved, and there is one character who actually stops one very cliched scene with a "I'm not taking part in this fiasco, you two need to talk" which was a nice touch. It always amazes me how many characters in these shows go along with idiotic plans until the bitter end instead of just telling their friend to talk to their love interest.

Overall It is just very cliched and rushed and I wouldn't recommend it, but it is very short with the whole series only 1 hour and 48 minutes long, so if you want to give it a try anyway, it won't take up too much time.

Well done from the main leads through all the supporting cast

I really enjoyed the main leads story and also the supporting cast were very well rounded and had interesting stories of their own. Very funny with some actual scary moments with the stalking story line. I was really impressed by Yoo In Na's ability to do the "bad acting" portions of the character so well - they were very funny and more difficult to pull off then you might think. Lee Dong Wook was enjoyable to watch as always. All the secondary characters were great as well - funny and sweet and with their own interesting romances and storylines as well.
