Really made me feel some type of way.

I mainly watch romance dramas and let me say, the chemistry b/w the FL (Sung Deok Mi) and ML (Ryan Gold) was the best I've seen of any drama I've watched. Their passion was so palpable that you'd almost think they were a couple in real life. The communication between them felt very believable and it felt like it just made sense. Sometimes in romance dramas I feel like the main couple are forced together and it doesn't always feel like them being together is worth all the strife - but these two really felt magnetic and I loved them together. During their scenes it seemed so natural that it almost felt like I was watching an actual couple just go about their daily lives. Even their disagreements were handled so well - they communicated effectively which was so refreshing - honestly that's kind of rare in other romance dramas. Personally, I wasnt too interested in Deok Mi's "secret life" as a fangirl. It wasnt that it was boring or not fun to watch her fangirling, but it didnt reel me in as much as her curator life. However, I do like the comedy that the fangirling brought to the drama (especially Latte).

Honestly wish they did more w/ Cindy - I was actually intrigued by her and then her character kind of went nowhere for me. It wasnt drastic enough for me to be disappointed but more like "what happened to her?".

Music wise, it didnt blow me away?! Not bad but just not...iconic?

I agree with other reviewers here that the last two episodes kind of fell off - I wasn't really interested in them (it was pretty tropey) as you could pretty much figure out how it was going to end.

Overall, very light + fluffy and a fun romance drama that I'm happy I watched :) The chemistry of the main leads is more than enough reason to watch this one.
