Tbh m,I started this series for PMY, known fact that her chosen drama's are always rom-com. But, I hardly find it romantic and comedy. Watching ji-ho and sang-eun is not at all appealing, I don't feel connected with their chemistry or story. Feels like "let's just watch since I started this". Their is no proper dialogue, connection or any part that feels touching. Everything is revealed in flashback but no one talks in real about their past.... It's already episode 10 and lead's don't know each other flashbacks and their actual reality. On what matter's they actual feel something towards each other?? Only character's that feel connected in this drama are hae-jin and jung-han and little bit of ji-ho staff but not actual main leads . I expected much more than this, it's just going not actually entertaining. Hae-jin character should've been first male lead. I'm much more interested in how he will solve his family conflicts then how ji-ho and sang-eun will end up together.... This would've been great if the story is not so slow, more communication from leads. You just can't avoid all these drawbacks of your past and can just focus on present , that feels so distant even if they're beside each other all the time. Why ji-ho married and got divorced? And out of nowhere after 5 years of contract now he feel something? His character is improving that's great but their isn't anything felt like he is in love. Hae-jin feels like he is in love. So messy and not so meaningful character's , ji-ho faced many things and he is so cold I understand but wasn't ji-eun was his first comfort place what actual happened with them?? Jae-mi was played since childhood but was her occupation was only way that can pay of her debt ?? I guess since she was mold into a good wife material, she took that as her occupation ?? Hae-jin character has a meaning he was inspired by his first love where he doesn't know that is not her actual identity but still got inspired, loved her and did what he wanted to do and made his own name. Character's are from rich background but have no standard's whie living in the present. I guess hae-jin character as an actor life show much better. A judge has no standard and social living ?? How's that possible? I just want sang-eun work to come out , it would make much sense , how can a person won't face the same person living the same city? How her previous customer's are not encountered atleast once , she even did wedding's , how come their are no mutual people from all the 12 wedding's. She don't have rich background to cover-up, hae-jin can't do it since he doesn't take help from his family and ji-ho is a name sake judge with no connections and power.
I have to agree with someone else here who wanted to give it a five but gave it a one to balance out inflated ratings. Started out somewhat promising, the actors definitely got my attention initially. Park Min Young is as usual quite perky and perfectly made up for the camera. Her partner Go Kyung Pyo is pretty good but so quiet that it gets tiring (I know this is the story but..) the only other characters that I found engaging were his work pals. The story starts to drag on after a few episodes, we experience the typical cliché love triangle. There are many unnecessary extraneous characters. It started out well but in my opinion does not deliver a fully engaging, interesting and coherent story. It also does feel predictable though not coherent not necessarily in a good way.
Another story about contracted marriage / relationships, which will of course end in the protagonists finding true love. Nothing new, but if done well it's always enjoyable. Not so much in this case.
I was hoping this was a fun romcom but even though the plot and plot "twists" had potentially, the acting of the female lead protagonist was not as charismatic as I had expected. Not sure if it was lack of chemistry between the male protagonists, her carrying a lot of the weight of the story or maybe just not the right balance of comedy for me. Plot holes here and there, bland follow up on mysteries, and a couple of inconsistencies. Not a waste of time , just maybe not the serie for me.

No this show is so cute I didn't expect to like it this much but it's a 10/10 for me because the way it had me smiling and giggling every episode like oh my god. And kyung Pyo I love him omg I actually love him. His role in this drama is so likeable like he's so oblivious but it's so cute I literally wanna cry. He's honestly such a good actor like one of my favs. And min-young did such an amazing job as usual. I never get tired of her cause she's such a versatile actress. And omg Hyung Suk might have been my fav in this whole show. His character is so likeable I honestly love him. I definitely 100% recommend this show to anyone and everyone cause it's so wholesome.
First thing i have to mention is that the 3/4 last dramas of Park Min Young have been literally the same, it feels like I have watched her portraying the same exact characters but with different male leads ( what's wrong with secretary Kim, Forecasting Love and weather, Her Private Life...) she is completely stuck with the roles she picks and that doesn't allow me to see how she actually performs ( if she can)
The concept of the series is somewhat original but feels more like a modern version geisha or gisaeng stories ( like when in the past they would literally kidnap and breed girls to be the perfect submissive male companions. Yet somehow in a modern society it doesn't work well and there's too many things and wholes that makes zero sense.
I am not a fan of love triangles ( usually) but sometimes if its well done and the script is well written, it does work and you end up suffering wanting to know what happens and who will be the triumphant ending couple.
This is not the case in the majority of kdramas unfortunately, including this one.
The love triangle here is just causing underdeveloped characters, and storylines left halfway. There's not enough time in the show to deepen into the layers of the main characters and you can't even get invested enough with the secondary lead either for the same reason.
If you ignore everything around the main story and just focus on the development of the main couple you will be able to enjoy their chemistry, its good enough to keep you entertained for a few hours, just don't try to think of it as a smart story that makes sense.
