The first half of this was excellent - very funny and well-paced, solid, attractive cast, lots of cuteness and interesting plot-threads, and I was enjoying it so much I stayed up well past my bedtime. But then it started to sink in the middle, the chemistry drained away, and after the mystery resolution came out of the oven the whole thing fell flat with still a bunch of episodes to watch. I skimmed through to the end, but was very bored. Still sweet, I guess, but not the tasty cake I was expecting.

As with a lot of dramas in this format, there just wasn't enough engaging dramatic content to last for 16 episodes here. I found the rest of the cast likable enough, but I wasn't invested in any of them. And even though the love scenes in the latter half were probably fairly 'racy' for a kdrama, they were also strangely unexciting! - possibly down to the way the FL was written? - and it felt like they were there as fanservice to fill up the boring space between the end of the mystery and the wedding. Disappointing, after such a fun start.
