it started well, the episodes were good up until the childhood story plot was completed. The next few episodes, 4 episodes or so, were so boring that I just wanted them to end fast and to get the show over with. As for the characters, at first I liked the leads but then the show got draggy and over the top cheesy scenes between the leads started happening more often, most of them making me cringe to the point that I felt like skipping their scenes (which would be impossible it's almost the whole show). Also at times the lead couple acted like teenagers when they are like 30 or something on the show (I'm talking about the characters nothing against the actors).
I felt like I was more interested on the side characters than the lead couple, I'm happy the side ships got together at least.
The main couple had been working together for nine years, him overworking her like crazy and treating her like shit, and then one day she snaps, decides to quit and tells him and what? only then he realizes her worth? that he likes her? starts treating her better in fear of losing her? doesn't seem right to me.
Also the main male lead is narcissistic from the beginning to the end, and I was rolling my eyes every time he said anything narcissistic.

I loved this drama and was excited to watch new episodes every week, it was filled with fun scenes, the romance was cute, the couple looked good together and both actors are really attractive, also I liked the 3 cleaning fairies plus o sol's relationship.I used to like this drama so much that I was sure I going to rewatch it someday, but that changed because I disliked how the story unfolded.
To me it all went downhill when O sol stopped working in the company and started living in Seon kyeol's house. Sure we were blessed with some great kisses and domestic stuff, but to me that was when the plot started becoming nonsensical.
I didn't like Daniel at all, I found him clingy and annoying as all hell not to mention his stalking behavior. I didn't like O sol's rude brother and his attitudes as well as her father.
I even started disliking O sol and not understanding her decision of breaking up with Seon kyeol (not to mention how unoriginal and boring that ''have the couple breakup in the last few episodes'' kdrama trope is) and her attitude towards him, a person who didn't deserve any of it. To me that was the final nail in this drama's coffin. What his selfish grandfather, who physically attacked him as a kid (I also didn't like how the writer seemed to have forgotten that and gave the grandfather a redeeming scene, expecting us to feel sorry for him) and who caused his misophobia, did, wasn't his fault.
The final episode was painful to watch because of how o sol kept rejecting seon kyeol and how her and her father kept blaming and making him guilty of something that wasn't his fault. I didn't like seeing him acting so pitiful around the father and her.
I'm not sure if I'd recommend it or not, sure the ending was a happy one, there's lots of funny scenes and the couple had good chemistry but there's lots of things that prevent me from doing so. I guess you could give it a try if your a fan of any of the actors because everyone did a great job.

(This contains spoilers but they're inside asterisks, so you're safe.) I feel like this is one of those overrated shows.
Honestly, the story wasn't very interesting and some parts were kind absurd.
In my opinion, the leads had minimal chemistry, and I didn't like the male lead at all, I felt like he was unnecessarily rude to her at times and it bothered me that he was so cold all the time.
As for the female lead, I felt like she was the savior of this show, although, some situations were kinda pitiful and I hoped she was a stronger character.
The side characters didn't interest me that much and I didn't like them. It was bothering that (spoiler inside asterisks) *the second male lead imposed himself on the female lead the whole show and never got over her until the end*.
The ending was another thing why I didn't like this show and the main reason for it. The crucial question about the male lead wasn't answered. (spoiler ahead) *how the male lead got to and from his planet since he couldn't do that for all those centuries, how did he do that all of a sudden at random times at the end and why was he dying on earth* Also their situation at the end ended up not being an ideal one (spoiler) *he kept going back to his planet out of the blue leaving her alone and coming back whenever*
So nope I would not recommend watching this one.

The romance was so heartfelt, it made me wonder if such a beautiful romance with such a deep connection between two people in love could actually exist in real life, I hope it does.
I can't not mention how I loved the osts, they were simply beautiful and fitted the situations well.
Although I loved the romance part of the story, I could have liked this drama more if the plot had been more interesting.
Also the episodes were all too long and there were a lot of boring scenes.
The last two episodes disappointed me because of the use of one of the typical unnecessary situations kdrama writers like to add in the finale episodes to cause drama.
But I did like the ending, it was simple and good and although I didn't rate this drama that high I still recommend it just because of the romance. If you are a hopeless romantic like me you will love the pairing in this.

This is a makjang drama featuring all the possible common kdrama cliches you can think off, the main offenders being: amnesia, a bitchy ex gf, a second male lead trying to get the female lead, a time skip, and the worst case of noble idiocy I've ever seen in my kdrama watching journey of some years.The drama starts well, the humor although over the top, is hilarious at times and the story and characters seem to be a good enough reason to continue watching, that is until the male lead's hereditary disease manifests and he loses his memories of the last 3 months as a symptom, those months are conveniently the ones he spent with the female lead of course.
As if that event wasn't dramatic enough, right after the male lead gets his memories back, he decides to go on the noble idiocy route and break up with the female lead apparently to protect her from the sadness of knowing about his disease instead of discussing it with her. But no, that's still not all, right after they break up, she turns around to go back to him but gets hit by a car on the way and loses their baby. That was when I simply couldn't handle anymore ridiculousness.
What comes after is a time skip and after that a bunch of frustrating episodes filled with misunderstandings caused by the male lead's noble idiocy that is still going strong after 3 years. Oh my God.
The only good things about this drama are the acting, some funny scenes and the ost.
This could have been a 16 or 18 episodes drama had they not dragged the noble idiocy plot device for so many episodes, and that could have perhaps, saved the drama from being so hopelessly frustrating in the second half.
Still I powered through those difficult episodes because of the male lead's heartwarming relationship with the female lead's mother and because, despite everything, I grew fond of the characters.
Side note: also the ending was so cheesy, and childish lol

The characters of the leads were, in my opinion, tedious and immature and their dialogue was a rinse and repeat of the same childish phrases which turned the romance really shallow.
The king despite being cruel was the most interesting character in the drama and I liked him more than any other character.
The ending was laughable and without much substance to be honest. Without spoiling I'll say that I don't understand how could they live happily with a dark cloud over their heads that can rain down at any time and wash away their peace.

The romance is the fluffiest thing in the world and the couple has good chemistry, they look really cute together.
I hadn't watched a drama with Yoo Seung Ho before but I've developed a crush on him watching this it seems, he's such a good actor who portrays emotions really well. Chae Soo Bin is also a great actress, I applaud her for the dual portrayal of both characters.
The main negative thing I could point out is how some scenes are too childish and naive.
Overall, I only recommend giving this drama a chance if you're prepared to lose some braincells and to be frustrated by the draggy episodes.

In my opinion, the first part of the drama, which focused more on Lee An and Jae in's romance and back stories was boring, but that was because I didn't like or care that much about both of them although they are the main leads. But then on episode 7 or so, the plot started getting more intense and it got more interesting to me.As mentioned before, in my eyes the main leads weren't my cup of tea, they weren't able to captivate me. The secondary leads (Seong mo and Jisoo) were more charismatic. And it didn't help that Seong mo's story seemed to be the central plot of the story and Lee an's could as well have been a secondary plot. Seong mo was a better main lead material.
Sadly they did my 2 fav characters dirty...
I felt indifferent towards the romance between the leads (and that's a rare thing to me because i'm a romantic at heart) and felt that some of the romance scenes were unnecessary.
Two things annoyed me: The show seemed to like to remind us that Lee An is dumb, I guess they thought it was funny but I just cringed every time there was a scene showing that. And the second thing was the two leads' recklessness (going to places on their own without calling for help).
In my opinion this drama was just okay: Not good enough (imo) main leads, wasted potential of the second leads, some parts of the plot were confusing and the first and second part of the drama seemed liked 2 different dramas, it should have found a balance (the first part was more light-hearted with hints of comedy, and the second part got too serious and dark out the blue).
This drama doesn't have a happy ending at least to the one character who deserved it the most, considering what he went through his whole life, so beware of that.
I'd save myself of the pain had I known before I started watching this.

The only pros this drama has are the main couple's chemistry and the characters of the guys working at the coffee prince.Now I'll list the many cons.
-FL acts like a toddler all the time;
-ML is immature and unnecessarily rude to the FL during the time he doesn't know she's a woman, I guess because liking a "guy" hurts his macho pride;
-ML kept bullying FL as a supposed form of love which is super fucked up and not cute at all;
-It's impossible to sympathize with the leads, him being a rude prick and her selfishly hiding her real identify;
-The drama has a overall weird aura;
-There were unnecessary disgust inducing scenes for humor but I guess that kind of humor is not my taste;
-Tedious love quadrangle, I couldn't understand who any of them really liked at the beginning, everyone seemed like they were two-timing for a while;
-Didn't get why FL needed to keep her secret for so long, everything could be resolved if she just told ML she was a girl, why the unnecessary drama;
-Really dude? seeking psychiatric help and the doctor prescribing the ML medicine to treat homosexuality? the disrespect, I cringed;
-Treating homosexuality as this alien thing that's forbidden didn't sit well with me at all;
-When they tried being Hyung and Dongsaeng, oh God so weird;
-FL's reason for not telling ML that she was girl all that time didn't make any sense;
-Idk why they thought we would care about the annoying plot of the butcher old guy chasing after the mother;
- The second leads' relationship is confusing as fuck and I didn't care about it at all, I even found myself fast forwarding through their scenes after some episodes;
-When ML discovered that FL was a woman he kept saying how he was glad that she was woman and was acting almost like he was committing a sin back when he told her he liked her even thought she was a man, and now that he found out she's actually a woman everything is fine;
Conclusion: I feel like this drama could be somewhat more enjoyable if you skip from the episode FL starts working at the coffee prince (I think it was episode 4) to episode 11 when he discovered she's a woman. But nope I don't recommend this drama.

This is not it
After finishing watching the entirety of this drama, I say don't bother with this one.Don't delude yourself thinking this couple will be similar to the Goblin one because it's way different.
The show is cheesy, with cringy scenes (I've lost count of the many times I cringed), some annoying side characters (the CEO of the law firm as an example), the male lead is monotonous and the female lead is childish and spoiled especially in the beginning (two scenes in the first episodes were frustrating), they act like teenagers in love when they're grown adults and that's a big no.
For me this drama was too uneventful and full of cheese but if your into excessive lovey dovey stuff you may like this, don't let me stop you.

The 1st half had great humor and I fell in love with the male lead character and his shenanigans but then he turned out of character moody in the middle (he does return back to his goofy self later) and I didn't somewhat agree with his attitude.
The romance also seemed promising in the beginning but turned cheesy with many unnecessary scenes in the 2nd half.
The plot seems rich at first but they soon run out of it and start dragging the episodes with excessive flashbacks and repeated conversations.
This drama had some annoying miscommunications between the couple in the first episodes, and cryptic information was disclosed really slowly by certain characters to us, the viewer, which was really irritating.
The ost is good, especially hyolin's "always" I always like her osts.
Kim Nam Gil is amazing and I kept watching because of him.
I can't say I recommend this drama but if you like Kim Nam Gil give it a go I guess.

The female may seem a bit annoying at first but that's part of her unsecure character and she gets better in time.
The male is sweet but kinda dumb at times, I wanted to scream at him through the screen.
The disability plot was a good idea but it wasn't represented well in my opinion.
The romance was heartwarming and sweet and the side couple was really cute too.
The Osts are really good too and made the romance scenes even better.
The only complain I have is the ending, not that it was bad but because it was incredibly rushed, it will would have been better if certain things had been explained. Even so I liked this drama and didn't feel like I wasted my time, I rec it but only to watch one time, I don't really plan on rewatching it.

This drama promoted obsessive fan behavior as a normal thing. Behavior like attacking an idol's supposed significant other and general excessive obsessiveness and stalking. Someone even neglected the person they were married with and was even thinking about divorcing them. (Edit: I was informed in the comments that it was just the drama's way of mocking that part of fan culture, but I guess I just didn't interpret it that way.)But then in the middle, the drama somewhat strayed away from that plotline and focused on the main leads romance. About that, well, the leads definitely had great chemistry, but the fake dating trope turned me off a bit, and the unnecessary misunderstanding caused by the second leads was a bit dumb, since they are adults and could have talked it out instead of letting her walk away.
Fortunately, that got resolved quickly and the leads started dating for real, but that is when the cheesy scenes also start. Don't get me wrong I love me some cheese as much as the next person, but in moderation. Still that could be a good thing if your a fan of that sort of thing.
Now the childhood plotline, there's the usual, the leads knew each other as kids but don't remember cliche, and the two mothers involved in the situation were kinda dumb and could have handled things better. It doesn't make sense to me that Ryan's mother would lose him and not call the cops or something else to look for him, that way I'm sure when he got abandoned by Deok Mi's mother at the orphanage, another dumb decision by the way, they would recognize him as the missing child and report it the police.
Conclusion: in my opinion this a forgettable and skippable drama.

Overhyped and overrated
As read on the title of this review, overhyped and overrated are the words I would use to describe this drama as.Although the storyline is more or less interesting, the cheesy scenes made it hard to finish watching until the end and I lost count of the many times I cringed throughout the episodes.
The acting of some actors also wasn't the best, with a lot of awkward trying to speak in english scenes to top it off.
The main couple annoyed me because of their personalities, the secondary couple was better in my opinion.
So no I don't recommend this drama or do I think it's rewatch worthy.

The lead couple are both so lovable as individuals and as a couple, and I was rooting for them all the way. I think I never liked a couple this much in other dramas I watched.
The side characters are also lovable and all of them have interesting back stories.
The osts are so beautiful and fit perfectly on the scenes they played on.
I don't have much to criticize this drama about, which says a lot about its' quality. The only thing I disliked was the excessive screen time they gave the second lead because I found him sorta annoying.
What more do I need to say? Just watch it and you will know what I mean. Don't let the summary stop you from watching.
