This show did an amazing job at showcasing how male actors in Korea are alws in a tight spot because of their career and nonstop military duty pressure! The struggle is real and this drama shows it beautifully. Only few episodes aired but I was hooked from the first episode and I m sure it will be another masterpiece of Park BoGum like reply 1988. Most interesting fact is that he joined military immediately after shooting this drama! Talk about coincidences!

I gave 6 star because of Park Bo Gum Otherwise its a 4

This was a mediocre show. It was sweet and romantic, but it got very boring towards the end. I feel like the plot was starting to fall apart after the 10th episode.

The buildup was phenomenal but the finale was too anticlimactic and boring. A waste of time getting past all that honestly.

Some parts of this show are interesting and different. The struggles and success of an actor are neatly laid out here. Also the support of his grandfather and mother, his father's opposition and effect of his success on the family members is interesting. The various problems success like press looking for scandal and opportunists are shown. Also the scrutiny they face when dating is quite real. The problem of military service is something not seen in other dramas. The grandfather's character is interesting.

The family plays a big part. The main fault is the romance itself feels more like a friendship. The wealthy nice best friend is a change. Not all rich people are bad. The story telling format of jumping forward and then going back to fill in doesn't work well here. One good thing is the villains like the reporter and the jealous actor are quite realistic instead of over the top types. Park So Dam looks better with black hair than orange hair. She seems a bit matter of fact in her attitude. Different from Parasite. PBG has a bad hair style in this show. His acting is okay but his hair style is too short. Military almost. Some parts drag but the interesting parts now and then keep it worth watching. Just that the romance is weak.
