Eh

This show started out strong, but started going downhill the longer it was on. The chemistry between the main leads is top tier and I recommend watching for that reason alone. I thought the writing of Theo's character was very inconsistent and ultimately he became the whiny self-centered character that I didn't want him to be. They threw in a flashback sequence to try to once again make him seem like he's innocent and perfect and did nothing wrong after he abandoned Akk to go back to Paris which I just thought felt cheap. There are redeeming parts of the show and the very last sequence is very cute but overall I was just disappointed.

First off, if you go into this expecting a Rom-Com or heavy romance, this show won't be for you.

It's much more of a workplace/life drama with some focus on falling in love and romance.

There is a cheating plotline but not between the main couple - Hakyung and Siwoo. Their exes cheat on them with one another and end up married. Which is just one level of the drama within this series.

The show shows us the challenges of falling in love after having been so hurt, and on figuring out a relationship between two people who are pretty different in terms of ideals and the way they view life. We get to see them falling in love over the course of a year. The road is rocky and some of their arguments are almost infuriating because they're so silly and from not communicating well - but that's what makes it real.

It's not super fast paced and is much more of a slice-of-life type show. There's humor thrown in, as well as depicting various ways that women get treated differently (negatively) in the workplace. However the strong women characters show their worth and we get to see some of the men being put in their place which is a nice change in pace. I enjoyed it and will definitely be watching it again.
