Kang still thinks that the girl is Jin Young-Seo, and he is unaware of the fact that the girl he met is Shin Ha-Ri.
The next day he calls Shin and proposes to marry her. What happens next is a roller coaster ride of emotions.
The Feel-Good Part
The drama did a great job in blending romance and comedy with various tropes of society shown in an amazingly hilarious way. While the story has some predictability to it with rich families trying to marry off their kids, how the two leads meet and nurture their relationship is super cute. The silly, whimsical, and over-the-top nature of the drama feels endearing and lovely.
The Disappointing Factor
The show painfully lacks originality. Viewers may not like the same age-old tropes of K-Dramas portrayed in the show. The male lead is bereft of any colour in his personality, and feels robotic. Some sequences seem forced and boring, which takes away some of the beauty from the story.
In-Depth Analysis
While being pretty fun and light-hearted, as with most of the good K-Dramas, it has an American touch to it, showing more sexual scenes. Other than that, it is just a regular K-Drama with cute romantic relationships. The show doesn’t experiment much and plays on familiar tropes already established over the years. What the audience will particularly like is the relationships between characters and their personalities. With all that combined, it makes a good enough and enjoyable show.
Star Power
While the performance by the male lead Aho Hyo-Seop may seem too monotonous, the female lead Se-Jeong Kim will win hearts with her cute and heart-warming acting.
Overall Opinion
Though being a stereotypical and tropey drama, the show doesn’t fail to entertain. With a very limited number of episodes, the show might keep you wanting for more. If you want some simple feel-good drama, then this show is the one for you.
