They get together in episode 16.

Before that, the show is annoying. Ive read others mention that FL is annoying in this part because she makes him wait too much. Well, while she is a bit annoying because of this, I must disagree. ML is more annoying. He constantly pushes her. They make it seem as if he helps her a lot, but think it's bullshit. He puts an umbrella over her like 8 times. oh wow, how helpful. And he agrees to pose as a model for her project, which also benefits his investment....
And for those things, he is always demanding repayment, as if she would be badly indebted to him for those stupid things. And when she does something for him he keeps saying: not enought not enough.... come on.
If he wouldnt clearly be ML, he could perfectly be the typical annoying sML of another show who is pressuring FL, during this part of the show.

After episode 16 tho, the show is very sweet, and I think 16/30 is pretty early, so I still give this show a good grade. They are always awesome and trusting to eatchother all the time after that point and its a pleasure to watch

The show is overall very lighthearted, theres no big problems and all the annoying stuff I mention is just slightly annoying, nothing very bad happens. Everything gets fixed for absolutly everybody too.

So if you like sweet lighthearted romances, watch it, just keep your fastforward key ready during the first half.

Just finished it.
Ok, this show can be clearly divided in 2.

1. Before leads are together, I think it is a bad show. Everybody is slightly annoying. ML is annoying FL is annoying, rivals are annoying. Everybody is annoying! Theres no chemistry in this part, no interesting plot... only how gorgeous FL is kept me watching.

2. OMG after they get together the show makes a 180º turn and turns really sweet, has many satisfying moments, both ML and FL are mostly awesome.... Total worth watching for this part. Their chemistry is very good in this part.

More details below under spoilers.

By the way, Ive watched 130 dramas in the last 2 years, and I think this FL is the most gorgeous one Ive seen up to this day. When she puts on a "loving face" you just melt.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I frogot. I read a lot of bad comments about the secondary couples. I must say I dont understand those complaints. I didnt see anything different from other side couples of other dramas. The second couple story was totally interesting for me, and the fact that he is FLs brother and she is her friend, and she also works with ML... made everything entangled and created quite funny and some satisfying scenes.
The third couple wasnt important, I wouldnt say good or bad, it just didnt have any screentime

That's exactly what I try to research before starting a drama. Thanks for the heads up. I finally started Love at night

Yes, tell me. I always do research on dramas before starting one, never mind spolimomg them

I liked My fated boy a lot

I see, thanks. Well, Ill add it to the Maybe list. 27 episodes is ton of pursuing xD

Im reading comments of many dramas to decide which one to watch. I was researching this one and I just realize FL is the same from Intense Love. Liked her a lot there, but havent seen her since. I hope this one is good.

Somebody please answer the questions I always ask:
- WHen do they get togeter?
- Any breakup after that?
- How annoying are the love triangles?

So what's your veredict?

Damn, was about to start it, but that's so late

Thinking about starting this. Spoil me a few questions please:
- At what episode do they get together? I read its slow burn and I dont want to watch 20 episodes of them trying to get together
- Any breakup after that?
- Any annoyig love triangle?

Thanks

I am thinking about watching this drama but I read many times it is very slowburn. Can somebody spoil in what episode they get together? I dont want to watch 20 episodes of trying to get together.

Thanks, any recommendation is welcome. I will check it out, but I wont watch it until it's finished. I cant wait a week for a new episode :P
My list on this webpage isnt very accurate, I keep everything in his spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1ZeBWXJWgxN0kDg0rPlR4B6RSM7XIEi4GJ0RyDUimHAw/edit#gid=281076031
Maybe you can find a good recommendation there.

omg so tired of drama frontpages having 2 males around FL. I dont even need to read the tags to know I dont want to watch this.
Surprise, first tag: love triangle

You are new to asian dramas right?
:P
With some exceptions, in asian romances when they are around 30 they date like we do at 16 in europe.
And dont missread, Im not saying asians are like that, Im saying asian romance dramas

I just rewatched the show and thought the contrary

First episodes: mmh maybe Ill lower the score I gave the first time
After episode 8: oh man, now I know why I enjoyed it so much.

I see this happen in many asian romances. Before they get together, I think Ive seen as many dramas where he likes her more, as dramas where she likes him more. But after they get together, suddenly many dramas switch to ML being much more in love with her than the opposite.

But while you could say this show clearly shows him likeing her more, it's absolutly not annoying like others in my opinion. She constantly tells him how much she loves him, she goes see him, not always him looking for her, she calls him, she texts him, she sends him hearts, when she is too cold for a while she apologizes and does something to make him feel good... so on and so on.

Yes, he still likes her even more. But she shows her love A LOT. There's so many shows where after they are together FL seems to forget him. A few examples:
Run on: omg, FL changed from "please like me" to "me and my job are more important than my love life"
Shopping king louie: She was amazing at the start with him. But near the end of the show, it was always him looking for her and she just doing her life and job.
Strong woman do bo song: well this one doesnt count because she doesnt look in love neither before nor after getting together

I guess you have already watched it, but in case you havent, Ill tell you about it as a person who hates love triangles:

You should totally watch the show. The love triangle is very short. Leads get together very early, in episode 8. After that, its all awesome between them.
That being said, the love triangle has something annoying, but it's not the obvious thing.
It's totally onesided. She never likes the other guy. The annoying part is that she thinks she owes him something from the past (its not true), so even though she doesnt like him, she still feels obligated to meet him a few times (as a friend).
The other guy then makes a public confession of his love... but when she hears it, she runs over to ML, confesses to him and that was the last thing you heard of the love triangle.
It's very short and without much screentime. The only think making it annoying is that she thinks it was that guy who saved her in the past (he wasnt).

Romance recap:
- At the start, he has been likeing her for 9 years, but he hasnt realized that himself yet.
- She has been his secretary for 9 years, and in episode 1 she tells him she wants to quit.
- He doesnt want her to quit, and when she says the reason is she wants time to date and create a family, he says he will date her.
- She takes it as a joke of course, but he starts pursuing her. At the start, he doesnt admin even to himslef that its because he likes her.
- The first things he does to win her over, he masks them as gifts for her departure.
- He starts pursuing her more and more boldly, and soon he doesnt hide his intentions anymore.
- 2 times they almost kiss, but his ptsd makes him push her away in the last second.
- A small and onesided love triangle happens. His brother is interested in her, but she isnt. She meets him a couple times as a friend.
- End of episode 8 she tells him "sorry for not having answered to your multiple confessions sooner", they kiss, and get together,
- From this point on, they are together until the end, no breakups, and both are lovely to eatchother.
- They have quite a lot of awkard but comic moments between them.
- both families support them pretty quickly
- Show ends with their wedding.

Just finished rewatching it. I gave it a very high score the first time. This second watch, after a few episodes, I wasnt enjoying it as much as the first time, and I thought I was going to lower the score a bit.
But after finishing it, I think it still deserves the high score.

I reallized the humor of this show relies a lot on creating small awkwardnesses. Just very minor stuff, and always in a comic way. But still, at the start I wasnt enjoying it that much and skipping many of those small moments.

But man, the show makes you feel so good so many times, and it also makes you constantly laugh, that it's totally worth it. So I finally leave my initial score of 9.

Also, they get together very early for a kdrama, and I love it.
