Really cute for the most part!
Besides a few moments that really bring the show down, most of the time, the moments between the lead couple are so cute and funny! Especially Sun-gyeol. His expressions and interactions were a real delight to watch. My favorite moments were actually between him and Ha-In, and I love how their friendship developed. Also agree with others that the kissing scenes are incredible and cute!
Speaking of Ha-In, while I loved his character as a person, there were several times I had a question in my head of just how ethical he was being as a physician. There was one scene where he told O-sol some of Sun-gyeol's family history and roots of his trauma, and I'm not sure that's something he should mention. In any case, I'm happy he didn't turn into a bitter person after he was rejected, and was really looking out for O-sol as an actual friend.
Also, I'm no expert on misophobia, so I don't know how easy it is to cure, but I feel like his condition looked plausible throughout the series. I'm not even sure if "cure" is the right word here, but he looked believably better in the end. Again, kudos to the actor, but he somehow made it look to the naked eye, like normal actions, but since we know his history, there was this uneasiness at times during moments that used to be impossible for him. The fact that he can do all of that now is impressive.
There were some times that felt unnecessarily dramatic (I know, in a drama? Shocking!), but I felt incredibly bad for Sun-gyeol toward the end. Especially the lead up to his accident. I don't care if no one agrees, but O-sol was absolutely partly responsible for that. Not of the accident itself, but the way he was feeling at the time. The one thing he definitely told her was that he felt she was the first person to really empathize with his condition and she didn't make him feel weird about it. Then, in some convoluted dramatic must-break-up scene, she tells him that it was "too much for her" and she was "tired" of him. Like WHY would you say that?! I love slow burns, but I hate terrible break ups just for them to get back together anyway. It was a nice ending, though, but still.
The other characters are great. I love the clean crew so much! Her brother is also fun, and anyone that thought he was mean has probably never had a sibling before. I could tell how much he loves and cares for her.
The soundtrack is also really good! "Cosmos" by Huh Gak is my favorite.
I absolutely recommend watching it at least once. Yeah, there are some moments you might have to get through, but I enjoyed it overall.
