This drama is great, because for me, it's different. It doesn't have your usual "doki doki" moments, your super melodramatic moments. It's lighthearted throughout.
The acting, especially the main male lead, is definitely one of the best. If nothing else, watch it for him.
Overall, it's not your typical rom-com drama. But it is well written and well acted.

The best thing about this drama is the cast. The two main leads are hilarious. The supporting cast is also great, including the guests. The story is not that great since it differs from episode to episode, so your mileage may vary.
Overall, I would check this out of you are a fan of either the main leads. Otherwise, as much as I love this drama, you might not like it due to it's quirkiness, and pacing issues down in the later episodes.

Overall, the production quality is great imo. Some of the camera shots are amazing.
The characters are fun to watch in the beginning and hooks you in. Unfortunately, it gets very melodramatic around the halfway point.
The cast is great, even greater for kdrama fans, especially for fans of good-looking male kdrama actors. They seem to have got them all in 1 drama.

What really makes this Drama special is the amount of quality it has. The Cinematography is really great. The music is also great. The best part is of course the characters, the surprising chemistry and the relationships.
The story sounded generic when I first read it, and it might be just a little bit. However, this drama is one step above in all aspects. You have to also pay a bit of attention to the background and other images you see on screen. It's actually very well written.
Just a fair warning though, lots of crying, especially near the end of the series. But then again, what's "drama" without some crying (there's a LOT though).

This drama is not for everyone. The romance is very different and not your typical romance.
My favorite thing about this drama is the cast. Everybody is great. The best thing is the banter between the two leads. It's really not your typical romance drama. it's very slow but meaningful. In fact, one might find this boring, and I can understand that. Just know that it is very different form your usual rom-coms.
I mean at some point in Season 2 (I think in the opening), you are watching a scene where the two main leads are talking/bantering for 10 minutes straight, no cuts to other scenes/characters, just them talking. Is it boring? maybe? but I found it charming, sweet and very heartfelt.
I'm a bit biased on my review because I found this drama when I was looking for a different kind of rom-com. It's worth checking it out in my opinion if you want to try a different type of romance and family drama.
I'm not going to give a high re-watch value because the entire series is slow/calm-moving. Like I said before there are scenes where the main leads just talk for a good number of minutes while drinking.

I was really looking forward to watching this Kdrama. From reviews I've read, I thought it would be different than your usual Kdrama rom-com. I was even more interested when it was mentioned in other drama's comment section or in viki's timed comments.
Instead, I found this drama very typical or "run-of-the-mill". I don't know what everybody else saw differently. Other than the main male lead not being a rich heir this time around, the story/setup/premise is pretty much the same as your usual asian drama.
One very good thing I must say though is the character development. It is handled pretty well in this drama.

The casting is pretty great. The Titular character is amazing to watch with his little mannerisms here and there.
The story is good imo, but gets a little 'crazy' at the end. The music is great and borrows themes from certain Korean dramas, as well as some references here and there.
Overall, a very funny drama with some serious moments. Lots of feel good stuff especially near the end. The characters are what makes this show great.

Very funny at times and Tomoya Nagase has great knack for comedy.
Also, one of the few dramas with Gakki in a high school uniform. Rest of the cast is okay.

The story isn't much and actually somewhat generic. Other characters also seemed generic, but actually is quite different from your usual kdrama romcom w/ rich male lead heir.
If nothing else, I hope the show gives you motivation to be healthy. Be warned though, the show feels like it's stretched out. It feels like it could have ended happily around ep 10-12.

The cinematography is great, acting is good, but really hard to judge because the movie is set within a movie/drama setting (if that makes sense).
The main actor doesn't speak much because he's been a side actor his whole life (both in the movie and in real life). The main actress is great though. She actually is a skilled chinese sword practitioner.
I think it's mislabeled as a "Documentary", but there is some insight in the movie on how Japanese period dramas are made. It also shows the life of "extras".

The lead actress is really sweet and talks really softly and nice.
The entire show is a bit imbalanced though. I don't know why the super serious crime thriller is included in this show. It creates an imbalance of super sweet scenes to bloody/violent scenes.
Overall though, it's a very fun watch for the rom-com parts.
