I love this drama! Of all the ones I've watched, it's among the few that I would consider seeing again, and I don't watch dramas twice. Here's why though: 2 major reasons.

First, it's the perfect blend of drama, comedy, and romance, and the chemistry between the leads is AMAZING. I'd never seen JSM or LMK in anything before, but after finishing this drama, I had to go and watch the other shows they star in. Both are great actors and the characters themselves are beautiful, complex and hilariously relatable. The female lead is strong, but still struggles with her life and insecurities like any woman would. The male lead is completely ridiculous in the best way, and it's so much fun to watch him grow emotionally throughout the show. The way they fall in love is just perfect! Beyond the beauty of the MC's relationship, the secondary leads are all great, adding equal portion of comedy and drama to the storyline. Personally, the secondary love stories here (it's SO much better than them existing for the sole purpose of some stupid half-assed love triangle with the MCs) are the most fun of any show I've watched.

Second: The greater reason that this show is so amazing is actually because of all the things it DOESN'T do. I've watched a lot of dramas that are good, except that they have a majorly annoying character, dragged out plot or tired troupe. BTIMFL avoids what I consider to be major pitfalls. First, none of the characters annoyed me. I raved already about my love for the MCs, but real talk, dramas often fall short when it comes to the supporting cast. This one doesn't. No annoying supporting leads hung up on the MCs, constantly sabotaging their relationship. No shoot-yourself-in-the-foot meddlesome parents, and no mysterious, under-developed half-siblings jumping out of the woodwork. Not that some of the characters aren't flawed, or that you won't be annoyed with them at times, but generally, they all grow in a positive way and no one is over the top in their idiocy. Also, BTIMFL is refreshingly free of troupes: the male lead isn't some rich, entitled man-child. The female lead isn't woefully incompetent or have violent, emotional outbursts, the storyline doesn't contain any mistaken identities, amnesia, brother/sister complexes or unbelievably tragic backstories. So yeah, the fact that it's refreshingly different contributes, in my opinion, contributes a lot to the enjoyment factor.

This drama amazingly manages to avoid most of the things that annoy me when I watch dramas. That doesn't mean it's perfect or that you'll love it as much as I do, but maybe you will! It's definitely worth watching and finding out for yourself :)
