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.

I loved it so much i stayed whole night to watchit in a row i couldn't leave it cause ifelt it is really so interesting i adored the characters looks and they made perfect match I loved the kisses its so natural and the feelings are true I know that this k drama is romanticism and fantasy but i really liked it and i wish i will live in a love story once

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...

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.

This is not an instant classic. It won't be studied in film class. It is a classic, somewhat cheesy romance without any major flaws. Classic, here, means it's akin to those cheap paperback novels that were written by the grosses a few decades ago, the biggest publisher being Harlequin. My sister would read them by the bagfuls.

Yumi is a girl who is trying to live a better life than her narcissistic ex-adult film star mother. She was teased relentlessly in school over her parentage, so she doesn't want to be equated with her mother anymore - Enough already! She needs distance. She wants to be a *whole world* away from her & her mother's pasts. To draw a solid line between her and Oma, Yumi keeps herself buttoned up and tries to stumble her way through life in the background.

She embarks on a weekend trip for mom's second (Wait. It was the 3rd, maybe?) marriage. For Yumi, the weekend is one fiasco followed by a-mother - eh, /another/, culminating in a one night stand. In a convertible. On the beach. With a dude so good looking, he's almost too pretty. None of this makes Yumi feel better about it. She's disgusted with herself. She doesn't even know his name! (But HER mother wouldn't be so ashamed😂/😬). She wakes first in the morning & slinks off with some of dude's clothing, leaving him exposed to the elements... and gawkers - quite a crowd, actually. All ages. They loved the show. He received loads of fanfare, too.

Yumi, next, slinks back home to focus on putting her life in order. She graduates with a dietary sciences/nutrition degree and is thrilled to land a job at a large corporation that offers great benefits. She's thrilled /until/ she runs into HIM. She has to figure out how to best slice and dice this situation pronto.

That sets the table. You'll have to watch it to see what's on the menu.

MSR is not devoid of quality elements. "No matter how many bad things happen in a day, if one lucky thing happens, it's a lucky day," says Yum-i, while buddy-chugging wine from the bottle, in a convertible, surfside, under the magically lit sky. 🌊➕🍾➕🌌🔜💓⏩💣⏩🚀. 15 min later they have a 1 night stand.

🕛Timeout: That's never a good idea. It's an unacceptable risk to one's physical and emotional health, and one will win the lottery before it leads to committed love. That's one reason it's a fun thing to watch and wonder, and then walk away🕧

This is a show to which lovers of romance who need a mental vacation, can relax and enjoy some healthy snacks. Their little chess game, misunderstandings, series of non-communications, and many memorable meals will make loveaholics smile. Cha Jin-hook (Played by the otherworldly gorgeous Sung Hoon) tells his father, who is pushing for his marriage: "My wife is right here," metaphorically meaning the business. However, his wife is literally #there, in the building. Nice morsel. I suspect that Yumi's name is a play on the English word "Yummy" - also a clever detail.

There are scattered problems: Some minor, some moderate, but they don't bring on indigestion. MSR is what it was designed to be, as a whole - simple escapism. However, it could be improved on. Starting in Ep11, there were too toooooo 2*2*2 many sappy flashback scenes, with sappy background music. They could have made it an episode shorter, or, better yet, make optimal use of that screen time with more content. Do yourself a favor, and FF thru them. When Yumi is singing Karaoke, be warned: They do the #whole song with flashbacks. Then Mr. Cha goes down memory lane. It gets ridiculous, but some quick remote control work takes care of it. Trust me on this one.

The actors are likable, and they did a great job. The secondary romances are brief pleasures. It's easy to root for them. The CEO's aid wears over-the-top-flowered-polka dot-paisley-anything-suits. He's amazing, and wears them proudly. He's one for the highlight reels.

This is a good enough aperitif between heavier shows. If you are at a loss as to what to watch next, but in the mood for a heroine-exits-cocoon style romance, this will do as nicely as an afternoon tea.

IMHO...

I'm suggesting Age 16+ My reasoning: Her mom is an ex-porn star, which has been a lifetime vexation for Yumi. Also, they have a one-night-stand when they hardly know each other. There's so many other great Kdramas to watch, so there's no rush for teens to see this one.
