I put off watching this one for awhile because of the dumb name. I always tell myself to stop judging dramas by their titles and posters, but I keep doing it.

This is one of the best dramas I’ve seen. Despite having potential for jealousy, petty spite, etc. it avoids all of that and tells a different story of understanding, clarity, and empathy. It also tells multiple stories of personal trauma and healing.
I laughed a lot. I cried a few times. I found all the characters extremely likeable, each had their own personality and were extremely well-written. (Unlike Doom at Your Service where the main lead's story was addictive, but the second lead’s romance was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen- like watching a different show.) It was really balanced.

It’s a murder mystery/romance/comedy all wrapped up in one. Like other dramas, it takes a couple episodes to set the stage before showing its true quality.

The ending was very fluffy and maybe a little anticlimatic for me, personally, but it wraps up the story well and I didn’t feel like there were any unaddressed plot holes. The one flaw that really threw me off was in the beginning. There’s this stalker guy and while it explains why he does it later on… and why she is susceptible to being lured in by creeps. I don’t think it ever addresses that that shit is creepy and bad no matter what reason. Thankfully, it’s not a big part of the show.

One thing I found unique is that it uses foreshadowing really well to lead the viewer through the story. It doesn’t try to shock you, instead it leads you through this story. Obviously with a few hokey tropes- but uses them adorably. It also breaks some conventions and overused stereotypes.

The whole show is just so cute, and funny, and heartwarming. It’s like snuggling a big fluffy pillow. I want to rewatch it right now!
