Cliche but cute

It's true that this is similar to A Love So Beautiful and Playful Kiss in its cliche premise of the not-so-smart girl chasing after the genius, aloof male lead. But there's actually not much similarity beyond that in my opinion — the vibe is completely different and All I Want For Love Is You is actually less cringy, and the chasing girl isn't as annoying and does stand up for herself.

I still wish the FL had more independence and her own ambitions — I thought they could do this with her fighting ability but this ended up being kind of a side humor thing.

There were some good friendship moments but I really think this drama could've used more. There was a lot of girl-on-girl hate even for characters that otherwise had good development, and overall side characters were funny but I didn't love them. (Aside from my sort of second lead syndrome)

At the end of the drama, they also pulled a typical eleventh-hour conflict which really got on my nerves and felt rushed. Other than that, I actually felt like subplots proceeded very smoothly.

Overall still a really fluffy and fun watch despite all the cliches and over-the-top love rivals, and the female lead actress is adorable and perfect in her role!
