Drama with no story
To summarize this drama: food, kisses, cuddles, and matches against overly friendly competitors where the Main Leads obviously win.The storyline lacks depth and progression. Even if you skip a few episodes, you won't miss anything as the plot remains stagnant throughout. The repetitive nature of each episode, with the Main Leads romancing in almost every scene, makes it feel like the drama could have been completed in just 8 episodes. I regret wasting my time watching it.

Great Supporting Cast with Disappointing Main Leads
This was my first Korean drama, and I watched it because of all the hype around Korean and other Asian dramas. The story could have been a 10/10 if they hadn't made the cheating husband seem good and loving towards the end.The supporting characters' acting was top-notch, especially the villain mother, who really made my blood boil.
Assistant/lover of the villainous mother was also great, especially with his way of applying chapstick.
Mistress/girlfriend of the cheating husband was a good actress, but her role wasn't as important as it seemed in the beginning when she was portrayed as a potential villain or second female lead.
Cheating husband's acting was impressive too; even though I hated him at first, his portrayal made me pity him and see him as a loving and caring husband and father, despite his inability to express his love.
The female bodyguard/spy and even the child actor were also very good.
But, I was disappointed with the forced chemistry and pretentious acting of the main leads. There was no chemistry between them. And what's with the chewing gum every time he went on a task? Both the male and female leads acted as if they had learned some expressions and had to use them according to the scene. I had to play the video at 2x speed whenever their scenes came on because they were such a turnoff for me.
Overall, good story with great supporting cast with weak leads.
