Surprising and Worth It!
This was surprisingly fun and cute and just short enough for me to enjoy without getting tired of the story. I liked lead couple a lot because they felt very well matched and I liked that they actually talked about ML's childhood trauma and had him see a therapist.
Too often, childhood trauma is presented as just another character quirk or hurdle that falling in love can overcome and I appreciated that they did more than just have it as a backdrop for why Mr Gu is Mr Gu without addressing how he plans to move forward in his new life.
It's not a groundbreaking drama by any means and there are tropes aplenty, but it doesn't take itself too seriously. You'll laugh often and smile even more watching this because it's just that silly and that inviting.
My biggest problem with it came from some of the directing and editing choices and there was an episode where an extra looked right at the camera that had me laughing for a full minute (see if you can spot it lol). But I wasn't annoyed enough to stop watching and I binged the whole show in about 3 days.
