Short, Sweet and thought provoking

It seems like it's been marketed as a madcap comedy, and it's funny enough, but that's not what made me rate it so highly.

Two supporting characters are unique, and i thoroughly enjoyed their development. The emotional maturation of the characters comprehensively won me over, it was a joy to see the progress play out over such a relatively short season. Big thumbs up to the ML. He had a lot of range to cover and was as funny as he was charming—some great relationship advice for anyone stuck in their own head.

On my short list of recommendations to people new to kdramas.

The couple I've waited all year for.

You're pretty smart. You probably figured out the ending, or at least the one you hoped for. If you think the beginning is a little weak, hang in there, the last half paid off and the ending was chefs kiss perfect. One of my favorites. The rare drama where a second season could work and be just as good as the first.

I said it all with the headline, but i could watch another 16 episodes where the leads reminisce about their first dates, who fell for who first...pull weeds, fold laundry and put away cabbage. And the cherry on top, the supporting cast storyline, is really, really good.

If we were friends and you didn't fall in love with this, I'd be worried about you.

Starts slow only gets better.

My impressions by Act.
1st Act: I don't know about this. I see where they're going though...ill hang tight. Hmmm I can't decide if i love her or she's the most annoying character ever. Is he supposed to be acting like the guy from the Matrix?
2nd Act: What. Is. Going. On?!?! OMG it's 4am. Did i stay up all night again? Yeah, i definitely love her and he's got some serious game.
3rd Act: Well now they wrapped that up tight with a very nice bow. Hat's off to everyone involved. Well done.

I gave the 9.5 simply because at any point this whole thing could've gone off the rails and sure, it did come close at points but they held it together and they deserve bonus points for that.

You've seen it before. Solid B, maybe B-

It's not a new concept but they do it pretty well. Do not act like the leads. In real life no one enjoys people who act like this. There is cool sexy aloof and there is the 'i ate paint as a child' aloof and i never figured out which the ML was. I learned to love the FL. She grew on me and i was happy to see her develop into something that was not a parody. But good god the beginning...so annoying. Maybe i was depressed and had to much free time or something. By the time season two came out i was done. I have to say though in the few episodes i did watch Nao seemed to have grown up a lot.

None of this makes any sense. I regret nothing.

This is a weird one. The story is bonkers but if you suspend rational thought just a bit you'll get into it and have a great time.

Leads are great. Hard to imagine this working with anyone else. Love PBY forever and always but Ahn Hyo Seop really surprised me. I'm aware of but haven't seen his other lead roles but he's great here. I know nothing about him but he's one of those guys who just seems like he'd be down to earth and kind. PBY is the cutest thing ever but this guy - he travels in a fog of charisma - is absolutely impossible to ignore.

I believe they call this a man crush. So be it.

Maybe the best casted drama ever. Great dialogue. You won't care about the dumb story.

Everyone has seen it, most everyone has enjoyed it. Preposterous story...so stupid. Leans into the trope machine pretty heavy.
But this cast. I just don't know what to say.

If the leads were looking into the eyes of each other reading random words out of the dictionary for 12 hours it would still be great. That these two are dating makes me think that the universe really does have a plan, we're all going to be ok.

The village women? As played out as that whole concept is...They're lovely. Absolutely Lovely. I would buy each one flowers every day just so they would gossip behind my back and then individually come to me with the dirt.

The Soldiers: Fuck you guys. Seriously. When i die and walk into the pub with all the people ive ever wanted to hang out with (because that's my heaven). These guys will be sitting around a table and it'll be the greatest night. I will sob uncontrollably when they walk off into the sunset.

I even liked the soundtrack and i never like the soundtrack.
