It could have been longer

I enjoyed this drama so much.
Loved the characters and the development of the story.
Sung Hoon’s character, Seo Do-kook, is another green flag, and Jung Yoo-Min’s, Yi-Joon, was so cute. Also, I loved Do-koo’s mother.
Hated the villains so, the did a good job.

My only complaint is that it was too short and felt a little rushed.
I haven’t read the webtoon, but I understand there were a lot of exciting moments and facts that didn’t make it to the TV series.
I loved how the relationship between them grew until he became her safe place.
The last chapter had too many commercial mentions.

Loved the main couple

Finally got to finish the last 5 episodes and I have to say that I loved the main couple. The chemistry between them is awesome. I loved the energy and tenderness of the ML. They were the reason I wanted to keep watching this series.

I also found the partner cute.

In general, the series had good production and photography, with beautiful landscapes in both countries.

The plot, however, was the biggest weakness and it seemed a bit silly with poor development.

I didn’t like some of the secondary characters and I wasn’t interested at all in the second couple.

Red flag alert

Even though I didn't like some development of the story and characters, it kept me interested until the end.

In the first episodes I thought I was watching the typical cute love story, but suddenly, it became kind of creepy.

The male protagonist, who seemed to be the perfect husband, unexpectedly, in a plot twist, transforms into an obsessive controller. And although it is assumed that he overcame his problems and is willing to sacrifice himself for her, I was left with the feeling that at any moment he would show his true colors again. Then, the ML stopped being so attractive. Undeniably, he is a red flag.

I'm not sure if I want to watch the second season.

So cute!

This was a really nice drama. The main couple was very cute, and they had a lot of chemistry between them. Seeing them together put a smile on my lips. I loved them.
Overall, I found the story a bit slow at times, but I liked how the plot developed. It had no major conflicts beyond the romantic story and the personal growth of the protagonists, mainly the ML, who had to overcome some problems from the past.
The only thing I didn't like was that it seemed like she was always dodging his kisses, even though they had a long, solid relationship. That frustrated me a little. I don't know if this was because of the age rating of the series or because the actors are too young. Anyway, I think that "turning the lips away" so many times was unnecessary; showing the tender interaction between the two of them was enough.
I liked the other characters as well and I enjoyed learning about snooker in Asia.

A drama made to enjoy

This is one of those series made to enjoy. It has romance, comedy, a little drama and even some suspense. Nothing very pretentious or deep, but a fun love story full of clichés that delight viewers.

It became one of my favorite comfort dramas since I first watched it and I have rewatched it many times.

Park Seo Joon is my favorite actor, and in this series, we see his ability to make people laugh. What's more, the on-screen chemistry between him and Park Min Young is undeniable.

My only criticisms are that some secondary characters are too overacted, and that a couple of chapters at the end were not really needed in the plot (when the female lead is not so focused on the arrangements she should be making).

And since this is a light romance comedy, I understand why it doesn't delve into the traumas and narcissism of the male lead. I agree with it.

Lastly, I can't help but mention that Park Seo Joon's kisses in this series are among my favorites.

Loved the cuteness of the main couple

In general, I liked the series, but in the last chapters I was getting exasperated by the extreme innocence of the protagonist.

Although the male lead is not the one I would have chosen, I loved the tenderness of his character and the way he treated her. The age gap didn't matter to me.

Zhao Lu Si is, without a doubt, an excellent actress and convinces with her characters.

On the contrary, I hated the protagonist's 2 friends for almost the entire series. As the chapters went by, the guy improved a little.

The second couple didn't interest me at all, and I ended up skipping many of their scenes.

I didn’t enjoy this drama, I suffered it

I'll start by saying that it's not a bad show. In fact, it keeps you hooked to see what comes next. And I loved the chemistry between the three couples.

But I have so many things to say about this, so let me start with a question: is this about a journalist who doesn't understand the importance of good communication? Really?

Isn't discernment (the ability to evaluate what is good, and what is bad) one of the essential skills of a journalist? However, the female lead blindly followed the awful advice she got from her best friend. Did she really believe that starting a relationship with lies and pretending was going to have positive results in the future? I think that's what bothered me the most about this series.

And I really hated the friend. With so many tricks, secrets and lies in her relationships, she didn't deserve a happy ending.

Another thing that annoyed me was that sometimes the FL was very bold and when he responded, she ran away like a scolded puppy.

Now, let's talk about the second female lead. She was so cute and persistent. I understand that the idea was to fight for what you want, but to what extent do you have to “beg for love”? To what extent do you give up your dignity to try to attract someone who is not interested in you, even pretending to be something you are not? Was the idea to pursue him until he accepted out of exhaustion? In any case, I liked the evolution of her character, going from a shallow girl to a woman with interests and goals.

On the other hand, there are the three male characters, which I thought were good, and I loved how they looked together in one of the scenes in the lasts chapters.

The ML was pretty deadpan, but I guess that's how the character was written. The teacher was my favorite, with his serenity. The third, who carried a certain sadness within him, matured as the plot progressed.

Another issue that bothered me about the series has to do with journalism. I don't know what it's like in China, but as a journalist, you don't give the interviewee the draft of the interview to approve, unless it's an advertorial. You're also not afraid to interview someone because you might suddenly fall in love if you get to know him better. This is just a professional interview, not a date.

In any case, it is better not to analyze these professional issues too much and enjoy the drama.

Awful acting

My main problem with this series was the awful acting, mostly from the supporting characters. I wasn't able to continue watching it. I'm not an expert, but I understand that if the issue is not with a single actor, but with many members of the cast, it is more of a directing issue.

I understand that it is a series aimed at very young audiences, but that is no excuse for having characters that are so unbelievable and with attitudes that are not the best for that audience, such as the fact that the popular boy only has to wink at a girl, not even a previous chat, and she is the happy girlfriend.

Furthermore, I read that it has been very successful in China and other countries, which is why I was very interested in watching it, but I really don't understand how it became a success. Everything in this show seams so fake.

It's a shame because I've seen several series starring Yang Yang and I liked them.

Nice series with good message

While I was analyzing what I didn’t like about this series to write this review, I realized that there was really nothing that I didn’t like. Maybe, the only thing was that the personalities of all of the other doctors seemed too weak, which was unrealistic.

I can’t say that it was the best series or that I couldn’t stop watching, but I enjoyed it very much. The best thing was the characters growth and the final message you get.

The casting was great and Kim Bum and Rain did an excellent job, as well as the other actors. Good production and visual effects.

There's nothing wrong with this series, it's just not for me

Let me start by saying that I know this is one of everyone's favorite fantasy series, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Everything is good: the story, the cast, the acting, the locations, the costumes… The chemistry between the main couple is also undeniable.

So, why did a dropped it? I just think it wasn't for me, and it didn't keep my interest beyond chapter 8.

I guess my problem is more that I'm not interested in historical series, which surprised me because I thought I would love to learn a little about a culture so different from my own.
