Underrated-- it dates really well!

People love to hate on this drama, and I can never understand why, because having watched a LOT of Noona romance, this is, in my opinion, one of the best. It's my Holy Grail of Kdramas. Much superior to the Taiwanese one it's based on. It's funny, it's cute, and it's romantic. It's so good, I made my boyfriend watch it-- and he is not a drama fan-- too tropey for him-- and he really enjoyed this one. He agreed the chemistry between the two leads is off the charts. I also made him watch My ID is Gangnam Beauty and while he liked that, he still agrees this one is better, just because it flows really well.

It's a great drama with a really interesting storyline, it's got a tight story pace, and though it lulls a tiny bit in the middle, it kept me hooked. I never fast forwarded any of it, and I am a serial fast forwarder in Kdramas. The B stories are all stellar, the acting is top-notch and the chemistry is something else. It's also dated really well, I have rewatched it three times now, and it never gets old, for me. If I had to criticize something, it's towards the end, but it's still pretty great. It's also rather funny show-- the side characters are all just hilarious, none of them hit annoying at all, from her mother to her best friend to the ML's best friend and their 'bromance'. All of them are great. It's so rare to find a drama where I like everyone, even the love rival-- even the enemies, and the B stories are amazing and funny.

The criticisms from this drama seem to be by pretty young people that have an issue with the age gap; it's 14 years in the drama but more IRL. Honestly, people need to get over it. They are both adults, he is the pursuer, and it is way less weird than other Noona romances like 'I (Can) Hear Your Voice', where the love interest is a High Schooler. I like that one, but I found the gap more cringy than this. Plus the FL is fire in this, her fashion is top notch, her legs are too die for, and she is extremely beautiful. How can you blame the ML for being into her? The only criticism is her hair is kinda crunchy at the start, maybe overly processed-- people seem to complain about this a lot. Her hair is something that is corrected later and you don't even notice as you keep watching. Again, I wish I had her legs and body. I like that she is unapologetically 'curvy' (well, for a Kdrama lead, at least). It's really refreshing. And the ML is great to look at too.

This is extremely extremely underrated Noona romance drama. Like I said, it's by far my fave Noona romance drama. If you like the genre, give it a try. and stick with it I feel like people who didn't give it a chance either are pretty young and can't relate to the FL (which is a valid thing, sure) but honestly, if you give it a chance, this drama really shines.

I give it a 10 to balance some of the weird low ratings it gets. It deserves way more than it gets here.

A chubby Noona protagonist? What's not to love?

Parts of this are great. It's cute, funny, and you are rooting for Sam Soon the whole way. But the big issue is the way society treats the FL. And that's fine; society can be harsh. But so can the ML. And I never feel like that gets any better in this, not really, which is why it's hard for me to wholeheartedly love this drama. Everyone can be against you, but the person you love should always be on your side. This is not the case with this.

There is a real shocking twist that turned me off this drama and no amount of backpedaling by the ML makes it okay. Check it out if you want a cute Unconventional lead/Noona romance. It's still worth a watch.
