It could have been great if they split it into two different stories
I gave a 7.5 because the drama does have strong points. It has a great cast and the romantic and comedic parts are done well.
The strongest point is Shin Sung Rok who is simply brilliant as the male lead, a quirky fashion designer. Hilarious and endearing despite his pompous personality. I liked the female lead(s) as well. Both Min Ye Rin and Min Jae Hee. Kim Min Kyu and Jo Han Chul too do a great job here, the former one as a charming and impossible not to like Hallyu star and the latter one as a despicable husband of the fl.
The weakest point is that the script tries to mix two potentially good stories into one and fails miserably at that.
The first story is mostly told in episodes from 2 to 8. I enjoyed it a lot. It is about a genius and eccentric fashion designer and a rookie model who becomes his muse and the love of his life. Despite being depicted with a lot of humor and hilarious scenes the story is quite poetic and sensual. I like the pairing of Shin Sung Rok and Go Won Hee, they look great together and there are a few steamy scenes.
Now the second story is about a woman whose life is a burden for her because of health issues and a very toxic marriage. The story is how she fights against her own insecurities and her unfaithful husband to become happy. Here too I like the pairing of Ha Jae Sook and Jo Han Chul. They are believable as a married couple in a very problematic marriage.
The issue with the script is that the heroine in both of the stories is one and the same woman. However they not only look different they seem to be two different people. Furthermore the both plots are cut short just to make way for an extremely farfetched main arc story about the first love that conquers it all. That one story is rather lame and unnecessary.
After the good first half the drama looses direction and all its charm completely. I struggled through episodes from 11 up to the very end. But for Shin Sung Rok I would have been hardly able to finish.
The OST is beautiful and dreamy.
I doubt I'll ever rewatch it. Maybe if only some parts of it.
