You will enjoy watching the show if you ignore the main lead actress. Unfortunately her acting abilities or OTT & she comes across insincere. The storyline is a bit far fetched but it's still watchable. The supporting cast & main lead are great to watch.
On a side note I think the stylist had it in for the female lead. Her clothes were hideous, I don't believe it was the fashion trend as all the other females wore decent clothes. Most of her outfits were distracting & not in a good way.
Don't get me started on her hairstyle ... I'll be here all day!

I liked this story, a lot, even though there were scenes that seemed overdone to the point of not convincing me anymore.
I really enjoy a good love story and this one, while different, did work for me. I was pleasantly surprised that Ryu. Jun-Yeol, was the main character. I'd seen him in Reply 1988 and was so disappointed in how his confession in that series was handled that I got really excited to see a different character from him.
Being goofy and in love, was a fun watch, for me.
Points lost go to the director and screenwriter. The cast themselves, did a great job with what they were given.

I found this little gem after watching Reply 1988 and really loving Ryu Jun-Yeol in that. I found this drama and it's really fun to watch. I really like him as an actor and he doesn't disappoint in this role! I also really like the very quirky Hwang Jung-eum. She was lovely in She Was Pretty, and equally lovely in this one. I enjoyed watching it!

This series is just wonderful. The plot is exaggerated obviously for comedic purposes, but it makes the show great. The acting was good, and the leads had chemistry. I absolutely recommend it if you are in the mood to watch something light and fun, it will put a smile on your face every time.

One of the best funny and warm korean dramas. You will end up laughing and crying in each and every episode. I loved the lead actor, his expressions are sooo hilarious! The best was that the last few episodes were soo nice and unpredictable, unlike other rom coms. This one also has a very nice message. Really commendable work, thank you again Netflix for adding this one!
Don't miss it, if you liked 'she was pretty', you will love this one even more!

The leads were accurate in playing their characters from their careers, clothing styles, to their idiosyncratic behaviors. This was the cutest love story ever. For those of us who fell in love with Ryu Jun Yeol's character, Kim Jung-hwan, in Reply 1988: Je Soo-ho is redeeming, gratifying, refreshing, and atones for Kim Jung-hwan's personality and character in Reply. Im more than grateful Ryu Jun Yeol was cast as Je Soo-ho. He. Did an excellent job bringing the character to life. He was nerdy, funny, romantic, and he pursued his interest this time.

I put off watching this show for quite awhile because of its lackluster reviews and the fact that it flew mostly under the radar, but I am so glad I finally got around to watching it. The premise sounds so dull, so I was surprised at how serious and heartwarming parts of the show were - it definitely was a comedy too, and the comedic moments (with the exception of a few complaints I had with another couple) were genuinely funny. The cast is well developed and well rounded, and I liked most of the characters a lot. I thought character reactions and reasoning's were well thought out and deserved. I appreciated that despite the dorky way our couple showed their love, they were both very mature and level headed. I also really liked how the ML was cold but not mean, which is rather rare in kdrama-world.
This was such a great rom-com, I highly recommend giving it a try, I was hooked from the first episode!

I was reluctant getting into this drama when I read "the CEO of a top gaming company" in the synopsis. It's like an instant turn off, this kind of setting can always guarantee an unpleasant experience which was somewhat true in this drama too. This aspect of it and anything related to that was its worst part for sure. They went for the superstitions concept for this drama but it ended up being underutilized, as expected. I found the resolution for almost every conflict and point of tension to be quite disappointing. Gary's father, Su Ho's father, the main leads issues, the FL's sister and her superstitions were all given a half-hearted resolution.
