So no spoilers but the end is not good. After 16 episodes , I feel the ending was rushed, sloppy, & disappointing. It should have ended much better. The writers really messed up a good show with a dumb ending.

Had this on my watchlist forever and kept putting it off; finally watched it and sorry I didn't watch it sooner as I found it to be really funny and fun to watch which I wasn't expecting by the description. It had quite a few recognizable actors which is really something since I am from the US and don't know that many. The male lead I recognized from other dramas and he plays a good CEO. I enjoyed the real estate theme and actually enjoyed the home tours and value estimates on the homes which seemed to be really nice houses and for good prices. The romance was there however the kiss scenes could have been a little better - just touching lips doesn't count for a leading man kiss - I would suggest male leads that want to up their popularity do a study on kisses from Lee Min-ho; a little more effort. Also would have liked to see a little better ending scripted. But all in all a funny drama worth watching.

Honestly it was ok, not good but okay. However the ending made anything want to sit down and have a stern conversation with the writers. I just did not get why they went the route they took.

Also, the build up of the female and male lead was not fluid. I thought she had better chemistry with the photographer as the writers seem to take more time in building their relationship.

The second leads were fun but I wish there character development were more than what was presented.

Honestly, the more I write in this review the more annoyed I get about the ending and want to lower the rating. Oh well, watch it but be prepared for a disappointment at the end. Or maybe you won't.

I needed to rate this a solid ten. I love Kdrama series, but frankly, some of them seem to either loose their luster midway or simply get bogged down or repetitive trying to make the 16 episodes. To me, I found such delight in every episode. Always a new twist, a new adventure, a new relationship to iron out awaited me. So, I laughed, smiled, and clapped my hands throughout everyone of the sixteen episodes. I thought the selection of actors and actresses was absolutely perfect and every one added a special something to look forward to. Since I need to complain about something, it would be that I don't understand why the short hair "assistant" always had a black mask worn below her chin. Secondly, there is one relationship that was left unresolved. One of the perfectly delightful aspects of many Kdramas is concurrent relationships that I so much enjoy watching develop and this series nailed that.

I also wanted to say that I watched this on Amazon Prime. Prime has a horrible dearth of Kdramas and really needs to up their game. Having said that, three of the my very favorite Kdramas have been on Amazon: Hogus's Love, Flower boy next door, and now Monthly Magazine Home. We need more Amazon, Please!

One of my most fav drama for this year. Not only good acting and script but it also has so many beautiful quotes/lines that warmed my heart and funny scenes to brighten my days. Completed with great OST. All songs in this drama took part in perfect scenes and I love all of them. I also learned so much from this series like how to saving money and start thinking more serious about future. Super recommended!
