Some pretty decent fluff

This is one of those easy to watch dramas with just enough drama, confusion and misunderstandings to give it some substance but not to much to make you annoyed, frustrated or kept on your toes... However it has one of C-dramalands most interesting male leads who while he may practice wrist grabs seems self aware and respectful towards women. The female lead is shown as a typical cold awkward (normally male) lead but poor to keep them from being equally footed . She is also smart, reserved for most parts and admits to having some kind of sexual desire. All things that may seem too good to be true but indeed are part of this drama. The main couple is also very playful an have a bunch of adorable funny scenes self aware teasing scenes... Fun, heart fluttering, cute...

The drama also has the obligatory best friend whose side story and role do not really add anything to the plot but is not the least bit annoying, and actually gives ok advice. Another rare occurrence in c- dramaland. The parents are also lovable, dare I say goal type parents.

There are of course some characters worth choking, but they are very few and their screen time is extremely limited. giving us 90% lovable people on screen.

I was. debating with my own inner monolog if this is a 9, or an 8,5 star drama but what keeps it from getting a higher score is the lack of substance, lack of stuff that will keep you on your toes, some boring monologs, and that the chemistry is good, not mind blowing but just good and the kisses are fine, again nothing to steamy but decent enough. So I guess it is a high 8,5.

All in all definitely a drama I recommend for all those who just need an easy binge without to much unnecessary stuff but with a whole lot of fluff and a very lovable main couple...

P.s. there is also a tiny hint about a lesbian couple hidden in there... subtle enough to pass censorship but clear enough if you look at mimics, gazes and pay enough attention.
