♫ - See The Light - Lim Hyunsik
♫ - May I Love You - Jae Yeon

Vibes:

✓ Yoo Yeon Seok
✓ Yoo Yeon Seok's hands
✓ Baek Sa Eon as a character
✓ "Hee Joo isn't supplemental pages. She's a brand new language."
✓ oh, THIS MAN CAN KISS
✓ the second lead couple, i wanted more of them

Not Vibes:

✗ why did he even like her? idk
✗ the villain reveal wasn't surprising
✗ the twin reveal was surprising, but it just didn't hit
✗ what was the point of the step sister coming back
✗ i didn't like how all of sudden the mom cared about her daughter stfu
✗ wtf was that last episode

Memorable episodes: ep. 1 (01:04:31),  ep. 2 (01:03:42), ep. 4 (01:04:03), ep. 7 (01:05:03)

Final thoughts: I was really vibing with this in the beginning. It was interesting, had pretty leads, great chemistry, good OST, but towards the end it began to fall apart. Which is sad. Honestly, up until that last episode, it was probably an 8.5 but it ended....well.
Just watch the timestamps I left above lol

Genre: Romance, Comedy, Slice of Life

♫ - N/A

Vibes:

✓ GREAT kissing scenes and LOTS of them
✓ Miles Wei
✓ big fan of the managers story line
✓ the couple was mature and communicated most of the time

Not Vibes:

✗ the story felt like it dragged on for too long, this would have been better as like 24 ep
✗ the FL's wardrobe
✗ the bestie and her bf's story, what was the point
✗ this feels marketed as contract relationship but doesn't really feel like contract relationship

Memorable episodes: ep. 7 (36:55) ep. 9 (05:39)(41:38), ep. 15 (40:30), ep. 17 (20:13)

Final thoughts: It was a cute little romcom with forced proximity and very good kiss scenes. I would recommend if you're looking for an easy light hearted watch.

Completed: 01/06/25

Thoughts: honestly, the only part that felt necessary and was cute af was seeing the second lead couples life as a family with a child
