I noticed this drama got quite a negative reception. It’s definitely not as bad as some would make it out to be, though it does have its issues. Mainly being it’s very generic and somewhat boring at times. It’s a very typical romantic comedy and an overall light watch with the standard couple progression from bickering to lovers. There’s comedy, romance, and cliches. Throw in a few problems along the way, a little bit of trauma, and there you have it. Of course, for me, I like to have more to the plot, and there really isn’t much more to it with this one. I have to be absolutely in love with all of the characters and their journeys to not need that extra plot. And while I did like the characters and their journeys, it wasn’t quite enough to make up for the lack of additional plot. So I found this drama to be a bit slow overall. They were a fun couple and have plenty of cute and sweet moments. They face several challenges which they have to overcome on their road to happiness. The relationship has some very thoughtful moments too. Handsome Guy and Jung Eum was pretty basic so there’s not really much more to say about it. It’s decent, but it certainly doesn’t stand out. It is mostly pleasant though and can work if you’re just looking for an easy filler that is cute, uplifting, and not too complicated. Don’t expect too much and you will probably be fine.
