I really enjoyed this show. It has a more adult type scenarios than most kdramas, but nothing explicit. I enjoyed the chemistry, the sweetness, and the twist of fate plot. It's not perfect, but it is fun. So give it a chance.

...but this series included every single one known by the books.

The beginning was alright, quite funny actually. But the last few episodes were so predictable and full of clichés. It was as if someone watched thousands of romantic dramas and used all of their cliché scenes for this one. I was pretty much numb to everything happening on screen at that point because I was so disappointed.

And don't even get me started on the bonus episode. That was the most needless bonus episode I've ever seen. It pretty much repeated the storyline of the whole show in this one episode.

But since I still made it to the end and I actually loved two characters very very much (Yumi's best friend Hyeontae and Mr. Jang, Jinwook's secretary) I leave 4 stars.

I definitely won't rewatch though.

I watched this almost 2 years ago and was my first drama ever, and since then I couldn't leave kdramas! I watched not so long ago and I liked still, obviously I have changed a lot since then and I watched better dramas but still is heartwarming, and funny and lovely. Is not a must watch but is a must...

Y'all couldn't spare some of that cooking ingredients budget on some new mics or a new sound engineer?? I could barely hear what the actors were saying! I'm thinking most of the clearly small budget went to buying ingredients for the heroine to cook. Nevertheless it was still very funny and brought some new twists to the 'irresponsible parent that won't grow up' trope. The heroine's mom is a sex worker in the adult film industry and she's very proud of her work but the heroine isn't at all. I thought they'd shame her mom for it the whole time, but I liked how they presented a different story. I really enjoyed about 3/4 of the show, but it gets a little repetitive towards the end. Still recommend! Lol.

It may be a cultural, but after watching a few of these comedies there are always flashback, snow, and someone ends up sick.

This is a fun series that makes me shudder as a Canadian. I kept thinking: "Harassment lawsuit." However, maybe they do not have those in South Korea?

I am also confused by some character actions. Once again, this is likely cultural.

I would have given this show 9 Stars - maybe even 10 - until the last 4 episodes. That's when the flashbacks started. Thankfully, Netflix has the skip button. Please, STOP with excessive flashbacks. They slow down the story and serve no purpose.

Casting is superb. Acting is excellent. I love all the actors, from the minor roles to the leads.

Cinematography: 10 Stars; Plot: 7 Stars; Casting: 10 Stars; Entertaining: 7 Stars; Watch again? No.
