I really liked it overall but the ending felt rushed a bit.
Aside from a major oversight in the fifth episode, this is the best-written kdrama I've watched so far. As in, things make sense, characters don't do stupid, out of character things, and there aren't really annoying tropes overstaying their welcome.I have to commend this show for relentlessly going for so many "hiding in plain sight" scenes, even when they're not done all that well (look, not just about anyone can do it like Tsui Hark). But I love them so much, any excuse to include them is a good excuse in my book.
Mostly because of this, the first couple of episodes are seriously laugh-out-loud hilarious.
I really liked it overall but the ending felt rushed a bit.
The Netflix subs were wonderful, far better than what I am used to with Korean/Chinese content (Credits to a certain Su-In Choi apparently). It's not easy to contextualize humor in different languages and I was so glad to "get" some jokes that I definitely wouldn't have gotten with lesser quality subtitles (so, around 95% of the subs I get).
And finally, lead actress Kim Se-jeong's performance was easily the highlight of this show. From her mastery of subtle facial cues to inflated emotional deliveries, she was outstanding.

Cute drama for the feels
I loved this drama, though it is not in my favorites because it's more a drama for if you want to watch something funny and carefree. I loved that they deviated from the clichee of separating the main couple and making them break up, I often find that trope boring and unnecessary, so I was happy that this couple finally stood up for themselves. I loved the second lead couple as well, though I have to say that the only thing that really, really, really bothers me about this show is that they had him sleep with her for the first time when she was blackout drunk. I hated that they tried to turn it into something romantic. Everything else was really cute though.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
FL's Change and Classicisation
This story started off really great. FL was a great character. She was confident, cool and unique with a mysterious side. It made perfect sense for ML to fall in love with her. But then FL started to turn into a classic, typical, unoriginal romantic drama woman. At this point, all the burden fell on ML and the more caring and loving ML was, the more watchable the series became.In fact, in one scene towards the end, the chemistry between ML and the second FL felt more attractive and believable.
Overall a good series, not much to say. I watched all the episodes, which is difficult for me. I was only upset that the original and different female character turned into a clichéd female character. After all, we suffer a lot from the lack of original and different female characters in romantic series.
Of course, there are a lot of cliché scenes. We are used to them now and we don't find them strange.

UM DOS MELHORES DO ANO
Desde que quando estava lançando, fiquei muito ansiosa para assistir! Me prendeu do início ao fim. A história é legal, engraçada e gostosa de assistir. Os atores são incríveis e os personagens nem se fala. são perfeitos.Assisti Bussines Proposal super rápido por ser extremamente viciante. Esse kdrama tem tudo que eu gosto: Curto, engraçado, com casais maravilhosos, personagens e OSTs icônicas, simplesmente impossível não gostar! Como falei, é super engraçado e clichê, mas fala de assuntos bem importantes, principalmente no Taemoo e na Young-Seo.
O casal secundário se desenvolveu bem rápido, acho bem legal isso, e inclusive virou meu favorito entre os dois, sendo o Sung Hoon o meu personagem favorito de todos.
Afinal, Bussines Proposal é maravilhoso e icônico, assistam!
(Principalmente para quem terminou dramas como 2521, já que esse melhora a dor que teve no final ): )

Pretty much what I expected
I ended up binging this when I needed something stupid (affectionate) and hilarious as a palate cleanser. It was basically exactly what I needed and what I expected.I have the usual grievances when it comes to plot points not making sense (Tae-moo being hospitalized for a... not even broken arm?? Which he uses just fine when he leaves? Lol sure, and Sung-hoon commenting on why someone who can see just fine needs glasses when he... LITERALLY DOES THE SAME ?) and some cultural... expectations? that translate into plot points. The acting was cute and believable for the most part, except my one pet peeve - Tae-moo's hair brushing gesture, don't ask me why, just didn't feel real to me! Also Ahn Hyeo Seop is scarily thin (in this?)?? Like, not sure it's sexy to be able to see your RIBS from your BACK!? (But that is... generally speaking, that industry in that country, so.)
Anyway the plot is predictable but fun, the couples are cute, and the friendships even cuter. I enjoyed watching this but not my cup of tea for a rewatch, but for the fans of romance and fake dating trope enthusiasts, I think you'll have a good time.

La mejor pareja secundaria
el ost es una verga, la intro es una mierda sin gracia, me he reído mas viendo los youtube rewind que han habido que con esto y sin embargo, ahí va la mejor pareja secundaria que jamás alguien podrá volver a crear, fue la primera vez que he visto a una pareja actual como tal y no como dos personas que parece les están apuntando con una pistola en la cabeza para que finjan amarse, los amo, Youngseo y Sunghoon debieron ser los protagonistas porque tienen hasta historias mas interesantes que los aburridos de los protagonistas los cuales llegados a un punto ya solo les ponía en velocidad rápida para no tener que lidiar escuchándolos, pero buenoConsiderați utilă această recenzie?
Elaboriamo: Siamo nell’abusato reame della commedia in ambito aziendale, che procede per mezzo di scambi di identità, falsi fidanzamenti che diventano veri e innamoramenti tra persone di diversa estrazione sociale. Le giovani generazioni vorrebbero trovare l’anima gemella in base all’amore, ostacolate da genitori e nonni, che insistono a spedirle ad appuntamenti al buio e cercano di sposare società piuttosto che persone.
Non c’è assolutamente nulla di originale in questa romcom, ma non per questo è un’opera da buttar via, anzi. Se la storia in sé è quanto di più trito e ritrito si possa immaginare, il modo in cui è stata concepita e recitata la rende comunque gradevole, a patto di non cercarvi significati profondissimi. E’ una di quelle opere con inserimento di buffe figurine, suoni divertenti, sottotitoli, e così via: una serie leggera, da guardare per divertimento coi neuroni in stato di placido riposo, magari tra due drama un po’ più impegnativi, per allentare la tensione. Ci sono alcuni momenti veramente spassosi: in uno dei primi episodi ricordo un inseguimento all’interno dei vari piani di un edificio che ha rischiato di mandarmi in crisi respiratoria.
Ma non di solo divertimento si parla: una grande importanza è riservata ai rapporti interpersonali, al valore dell’amicizia, dei legami familiari, della solidarietà fra colleghi.
Però poi, alla fine, si torna sempre al fattore umoristico. E se si ammira l’impegno lavorativo di Shin Ha Ri, votata alla realizzazione di manicaretti da commercializzare sotto forma di piatti istantanei, a maggior ragione si apprezza la compostezza di Cha Sung Hoon, serissimo segretario del protagonista Kang Tae Moo, giovanissimo presidente maniaco del lavoro, nipote del capintesta Kang Da Goo, che non vede l’ora di avere dei nipotini…
Peccato che, nella grande famiglia della Go Food, industria alimentare intorno alla quale gravitano quasi tutti i personaggi, le giovani leve abbiano idee proprie. Così quando il giovane presidente Kang Tae Moo, interpretato da un ottimo Ahn Hyo Seop, viene mandato all’ennesimo appuntamento al buio organizzatogli dal nonno prepotente, stufo di perdere tempo in cose che giudica inutili, decide che sposerà la prima che gli si presenterà davanti. Dovrebbe trattarsi di Jin Young Seo senonché, anch’ella, stufa di questi laccioli, manda al suo posto l’amica Shin Ha Ri, perché mandi tutto all’aria. Il presidente della Go Food non ne vuole sapere di mollare quella che non sa essere una sua impiegata, per quante follie faccia. E da lì cominciano gli spassosissimi guai.
Ripetiamolo ancora: è una commedia, per cui molto spazio è affidato ad attori e caratteristi dalla mimica a volte volutamente esagerata. Allo stesso Lee Deok Hwa, che interpreta il nonno del protagonista, e che nel panorama coreano è praticamente un’istituzione, è affidata una parte piuttosto spassosa. La protagonista, una bravissima Kim Se Jeong, sa farsi apprezzare sia nei momenti drammatici che in quelli comici, dove sfodera smorfie molto divertenti. Ma il protagonista maschile, Ahn Hyo Seop, è sempre misurato, grazie anche al suo personaggio molto riservato che è, poi, quello che compie il maggior percorso di crescita. Il nostro passerà dall’essere un mezzo tiranno narcisista, restio a sprecare cinque minuti, ad un perfetto innamorato, tenero e generoso nei confronti di molti.
La commedia procede ad un ritmo abbastanza sostenuto, subendo solo un po’ di rallentamento negli ultimi due/tre episodi, ma che non va ad inficiare troppo il fattore divertimento. Le musiche sono adatte allo spettacolo, non terribili ma, sinceramente, neanche eccezionali: nella media. Per quanto riguarda i costumi, diciamo che, essendo alcuni personaggi molto ricchi, le donne sono vestite molto bene e gli uomini… beh, alti, mori e con vestito tre pezzi. Detto tutto no?
L’ultimo episodio è, per certi versi, forse un po’ affrettato, e per altri un po’ lento, ma in definitiva tutti i santi finiscono in gloria e si glissa sulla sigla finale con soddisfazione e un sorriso stampato in volto. Cosa chiedere di più?

Wasted 9 hours of my life
I have zero clue what's to like here. Void, empty, full of cliches, and meaningless. The main girl is supposedly likeable because she's 'different' but as far as I can tell she's literally just your average girl. The romance isn't believable either. The whole love at first sight stuff is so tiring and I dislike it immensely. The main girl's whole thing is she's supposed to be 'so different' but there is nothing she does that's particularly out of the norm or unusual. The bit where he pretends to be her bf in front of their friends isn't too far off the vibe of the actual romance.I found the directing was awful and over the top emoting (no doubt at the director's behest) extremely tacky.
Oh and lastly the entire show sometimes seems to me to be just one big product placement. The vit C spray thing, face stick, bomb shots...

I love it!
This is a good drama to watch if you've watched a heavy one or if you are trying to get over a drama (for me I was trying to get over Lovely Runner!)It's funny, witty, and explores multiple dynamics (does not fixate on the leads alone). I think it truly is a well-rounded, light hearted drama with a tad bit of spiciness too (swearing, slight sexual content etc). I also think it highlights class and class differences, and even the difficulties that arise when people from different classes clash. Even compared to a more popular drama such as Lovely Runner, I think this show does a better job at actually having a meaningful purpose that goes beyond showcasing romance and compatibility alone. I truly adore this show!
