To me this drama was kinda...meh. It wasn't a drama that blew me away and that i watched episode after episode of, like what i thought it would be. It's a romantic comedy (which i loved), the episodes are not that long (to a person that has watched a lot of dramas and that are used to episodes being one hour long at least, they weren't long, around 45 min) and there's only 16 episodes, so i thought i'd finish this drama quickly, but it took me longer than expected. I liked most of the drama, but there were some reasons why i didn't like it as much as i thought i would. 1. I really didn't like Park Shin-hye's character, she was like an overdramatic teenage girl that made every problem bigger than what it really needed to be, she never listened or trusted anyone, although they were good people. I get that she couldn't know that and that she was bullied, and all the reasons that made her that way, but still i felt like she was slightly overdramatic about a lot of things, and... i don't even know, i just didn't like her character in this drama (i have nothing against Park Shin-hye as an actress though, just to clear that out). 2. I wasn't super into the romance between the main characters in this drama. I found myself more interested in the romance between the editor and Dong hoon. (those charcters were hilarious, and together, even more). 3. It felt like the storyline was taken straight out from a fanfiction. The typical shy girl that was bullied, meets popular/famous and handsome heart throb, that just so happened to move into the apartment right across from where she lives. It jus felt like a fanfiction coming to life. But still this drama was an okey series. It's a good "inbetween-dramas drama", you know those dramas that you watch because you're not sure what to watch next or you're waiting for another drama to start airing. It is a very light hearted romantic comedy that is easy to watch, although it's a bit boring at times (not gonna lie), it has a lot of witty/funny scenes and some cute romantic scenes and is overall an okey drama. When it comes to the music and the acting i don't really have much to say, i didn't really pay attention to the music in this drama, and the acting was the typical romantic comedy acting where you overdramatise things and act silly. It's a bit difficult for me to judge the acting in romantic comedies because of this, i feel like i have to see other dramas with the same actors to be able to tell you if they're good actors or not, so i can say this, Park Shin-hye (I've seen her in Pinocchio, The heirs and You're beautiful), Kim Seul Gi (Oh my ghost) and Go Gyeong-pyo (Jealousy incarnate) are good actors. Can't say anything about the rest because i haven't seen enough of them, but overall an okey drama.
