Story 9.0/10
This story is about two awkward neighbors that hate each other. They are forced to move in together after a fire breaks out in Park Kyu Tae's apartment and the two keep getting caught in compromising positions by others. It is such a funny and well done story. The story was done so well and felt so real that I was getting second hand embarrassment and cringing every second.

Acting/Cast 9.0/10
The actors were so cute! Park Kyu Tae and Sung Ji Jae characters were so hilarious together to the point to the point where I have no idea how the actors got through the serious scenes without laughing every five seconds. The actors did such a good job portraying the two awkward neighbors. They portrayed the characters feelings so subtly through things like small shifts in facial expressions that felt real. I loved Kim Min Ah's character too because she brought such a fun perspective and my favorite scenes happened thanks to her like when she walked in on Tae in Jae's lap. I was living through her throughout the entire story.

Music 8.0/10
This drama doesn't really focus on the music much, but the music that is chosen fits the scenes well. All of the music that was chosen would add to the scenes and make them so much funnier. My favorite use of music was in the preview of the shower scene when they used romantic mysterious music.

Re-watch Value 10/10
I've already re-watched this series three times. It's so funny and never gets old to the point that I could re-watch it back to back.

Overall 9.0/10
