Poor story
In this pandemic time I crave for romance, even if it's not realistic or the plot has lots of incongruent moments.Here we have so many annoying things.
ML very sensitive but weak in some ways. Don't understand why he thinks he abandon his friends in this stupid entertainment business.
FL with lots of prejudice and very different from what a reporter should be.
The couple has some chemistry.
The story of the search for his father doesn't had anything to the story, also his mother.
Liked the couple that got married.
FL friends could show up more.
Maybe, because I don't like k-pop or the news and lives of the actors, I didn't like this show much.
I like dramas, the acting and the stories. And love between the characters.
OST has some interesting songs
Will not rewatch this. Better dramas to rewatch for sure...

A Mixed Bag: Classic Romcom Vibes with Outdated Tropes
For those seeking an old-school romcom-style K-drama, this one has certain enjoyable elements with plenty of sweet moments. However, it's important to note that this drama was filmed in 2018/19 and only released in 2021, so some of its tropes feel a bit dated, more like 2008.Typically, I'd start by highlighting the positive aspects, but in this drama, the flaws are hard to ignore. The main female character, Lee Geun Young, played by Choi Soo Young, is full of contradictions. Losing her job due to the incident was tough, but her behavior afterward is childish, unprofessional, and hard to root for. She often makes poor decisions and lets people walk all over her.
On the other side, the male lead, Hoo Joon, played by Choi Tae Joon, fits the classic K-drama mold. He starts off as an arrogant jerk, but as we learn more about him, we start to empathize with him. Over time, he slowly warms up to the female lead. Nothing groundbreaking here.
As for the second couple, their relationship is undeniably abusive, filled with constant arguments, disrespect, and manipulation. This toxic dynamic affects not only the characters' mental and emotional well-being but also the viewers'. Honestly, I find myself fast-forwarding through all their scenes.
The second female lead, Oh In Hyung, played by Han Ji An, comes off as incredibly selfish. She desires the male lead but refuses to break it off with the second lead due to her own ambitions, trapping herself in a harmful cycle. And Chansung, you did a great job portraying such a one-dimensional jerk, but you deserve roles with more depth and complexity.
It's unusual for a romcom to feature such unlikable and unrelatable characters at the beginning. However, the middle part of the drama proves quite enjoyable for those who appreciate classic romcom tropes. Overall, if this is the type of drama you are interested in, it is not a bad watch. Although the characters may take some time to grow on you, the engaging storyline and romantic elements make it a ok watch for those seeking a light-hearted drama.

Une romance jubilatoire !
Rien que pour les superbes scènes de fin, le drama vaut la peine d'être vue. Les deux leads sont exceptionnels et j'ai vraiment eu la banane en regardant les scènes de couples dans la seconde moitié de la série.Oui, effectivement, je me passerai (et j'ai passé) tous les moments avec les deux seconds rôles, le "méchant", jaloux pathétique du ML qui ne m'a pas vraiment convaincue. C'était un homme bien... ah? Et l'autre second rôle féminin, pathétique aussi, à toujours courir après la gloire et à pleurer auprès de son ex au moindre problème.
En dehors de cela, une très belle romance avec l'anti-fan, une journaliste amusante qui se trouve détester le ML et qui par les hasards du showbizz se retrouve à faire une émission de télé-réalité avec celui-ci. Oui, pleine de coïncidences, de scènes très clichées où deux ennemis vont finir par s'aimer. L'histoire est adaptée du webtoon du même nom, fidèle, parfois trop à mon goût à la BD d'origine. Je regrette cependant que le drama n'ait pas repris une scène du webtoon, à savoir, la seconde lead régulièrement battue son copain jaloux, le fameux "méchant" va se confier auprès de notre notre journaliste GY, qui la console et lui enjoint de refuser toutes formes d'abus, mais non, cette scène du webtoon n'a pas été repris à l'écran...
Cela étant, les deux acteurs principaux ont été formidables, il attaque avec arrogance et elle répond avec verve. J'ai vraiment beaucoup ri et souri (des superbes scènes de baisers, c'est bon à prendre aussi). Bref, un drama qui a des défauts mais qui tout de même un bon romcom à regarder les jours de pluie. A regarder, donc !

Pros and cons
Fun watch, I enjoyed this series .As someone who watched both the series and the movie, I have to say I enjoyed the series slightly better overall because the main characters seem to have a lot more chemistry. Even in the cute moments in the movie there didn't seem to be any real sparks or that moment of "pow".
Still the series had issues that I felt the movie did not have, with the ending being rushed and ambiguous. In the movie, I liked that they also gave the female lead more skills and that he wanted to create a show about her parents love story.
So yes, I recommend to watch this series since it is really good but it lacks in some degrees.

is it really horrible?
First, I want to say I dont understand the criticism for this show since some of it makes no sense.Second, the show is overall really good. I think it had a unique plot, unlike a lot of shows. When I started watching I thought the main leads would fake a marriage for whatever reason. So I was surprised when I saw it was revolved around a variety show.
Third, the main leads had chemistry... Were the kiss scenes amazing... no. But they were 100% better than the fish lips, im in pain kiss scenes that were a trend in dramas between 2010 and 2018 I would say. But yeah they also arent the kiss scenes we have now, where the actors are going full in. However, the build and editing reqlly made them 10x better.
Fourth, the characters had really well development, except for Inhyung. I really hated her. She was just SO unlikable it made me mad. I know Jaejoon was horrible to her, relationship and career wise because he was controlling and jealous, but god damn does she need mental help for wanting to commit not once but TWICE. And the second one for pure vengeful reasons.
Jaejoon I already spoke on how toxic he is. I want to say it makes sense why he acted like that. He was hurt that he not only got put on the back burner by his agency, but by the girl he likes. That and also add in the fact that his family sucked too. It makes sense. He was mad at everything and wanted to make someone pay. So of course that would be Joon, the rookie that came and debuted before him and the guy his crush started to like.
Joon, he developed well. But I also think it wasnt much development, but rather showing his true self. Obviously Geunyoung doesnt know him, so as viewers we are seeing him sort of through her POV. I get why he started off as a shit character since he was mad at Jaejoon, hurt by Inhyung and hated his company bc they treated him like a puppet. He put up his Joon, the singer persona for so long that he forgot who he actually was. I think this was also confirmed for me by the fact that he used his bday as his password, and his manager and CEO saw him change, to the point where they wanted to keep him on a tight leash. I also think he became a shit person not onky bc of his persona, but bc he felt alone. His CEO dropped his rookie friends, he didnt know who his dad was, and his mom never answered the phone. Becoming successful and to the point where he was, he hid his actual self and just kept up with his Joon, the artist persona.
Geunyoung, she is like Joon. Not so much as development, but showing who she actually is. She was pissed at the fact that Joon was an asshole behind cameras and away from fans. I think she just expected him to have basic human deceny (like apologizing for his actions, since she does that).
Both Joon and Geunyoung reveal their true selves throughout the show, while changing their perspectives on each other. They both thought the other was rude and shady, but ended up finding out it was actually the opposite.
Geunyoung throwing her shoe at Joon, is problematic, bc that is literally assault. But if it were to have a reason, it wouldnt be only that shes drunk, but the fact that shes tired of everyone treating her like a doormat. Her boss, coworkers and now some celebrity. And they just expected her to smile and move along past the treatment she received.
Of course, like most other shows, the side characters are more entertaining. Probably because they arent a main focus and are just there for comedic relief.
So, its really not bad at all. The plot is solid and the characters too. It was refreshing to see something new. And it made me wonder why I waited so long to watch it.

Sweet Melodrama Rom Com
Okay so I love the leads in this drama - having watched Choi Tae-Joon in so many support roles was excited to see him in a Lead. I do have to say, I feel a little let down in parts (not all) with a certain lack of chemistry, however it did get better towards the end. It may have been the fact his persona had to act aloof from his opposite lead but it did feel a little hmmmmm in parts.That being said, I did like the story line and the ending made it worth the pain of the slower bits of the drama.
OST was nice.

Clean but Questionable
The story was clean but typical. It's the typical enemies to lovers trope, except it's not really as exciting as it usually is. Both leads are rather mild, and the character's personalities just don't much spice to the relationship. I love how the writer tried to include different lines of story regarding the male lead's background as well, however, there were many problems that came with it. All the characters were slightly annoying, very obsessive, and had little to no character development and then a sudden character change near the end. I felt like all the relationships were based on attraction and the male wanting to "protect" the female.As for the cast, the acting was (well...) not so enjoyable. I don't know if the characters were written that way, but the chemistry among all the characters was just off! The hugs and kisses were awkward, and the fights were awkward and mild. For all the main characters: Whojoon, Geunyoung, Jaejoon, and Inhyung-- I feel like they were all hired because of their visuals. The best in this cast was probably the MiJung (Geunyoung's best friend), Chaeyun (Whojoon's fan) or PD Han and Writer Noh.
Overall, I would NOT RECCOMEND because this was a huge letdown compared to the Chinese movie with Chanyeol; it just felt dragged out and unnecessary.

A Cute Light-Hearted 2018 Rom-Com
Great chemistry between the actors and a simple, light-hearted rom-com. Definitely makes your heart flutter! Since this was produced in 2018 there are still elements of the simple storylines and light-hearted scenes that older Kdramas used to have compared to the romantic dramas these days which seem a bit darker and deeper but nonetheless fun to watch. The storyline is slow-paced. The cliffhangers at the end of each episode actually wrap the episode nicely rather than leaving it off on a crucial moment. There are also funny scenes and it will definitely make your heart flutter!Would definitely recommend it for those who want to watch a light-hearted and simple love story!

Good one
I started watching this drama cuz this is the remake of Chinese flim of same name in which chanyeol of EXO had stared i didn't like movie that but I found the plot is interesting so I started watching and I swear to go I just couldn't stop the story ,the cast ,plot and acting everything is just amazing 😍I just fell in love with this drama the genre is common rom com but the plot and the Story make this drama worth while.
The plot is drama is unrealistic far from reality as it's not going to happen in real life but u go ahead just escape from the reality for few hours😉.
This drama is quite underrated cuz it didn't even telecasted in Korean television nd it also got almost cancel. But it got that's best part. The songs of this drama are pretty good. But I loved the song 'i wonder what is love'.
Ofcourse the drama is worth watching I'm going to watch it again
Apart from that this drama is stared by one of fav idols from girls generation Choi soo young 😳
If u haven't watched go ahead watch u won't regert it..
At last I want give this drama 8 out of 10

Kdrama that gives off 2016-2017 drama vibes (?)
This drama is boring to me,i watched it only bc the main leads. Storyline itself is ehhh,just a women falling in love after being in a drama together w a hot guy. Typical 2016-2017 enemies to lovers. If i watched it earlier i would probably like it more but since i don't relally watch this type of dramas anymore i find them boring. First few ep were okay but then a huge mess happened. I hate the 2nd couple,they don't have any chemistry,really dry and the guy was really possesive ( i really didn't like that ). I can't persuade myself to finish last 3 ep,probably cuz i heard the 2nd couple will be together again and i really hate it. The romance between male leads was ehh and a lil dry but it was okay ig. I wish this was realesed in 2016-2017 then ppl would like it more,and me too. Thank you for reading and sorry if i wrote smth wrong. :)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The ML and FL were a MOOD
The relationship between the leads can be seen through this conversation:ML: "You can either struggle and drown to death, or wait until you can kick yourself back up"
FL: "Are you telling me to drown deeper to the bottom?"
ML: "That's not what I meant. Was that not comforting either? You and I really don't mix well."
A hate to love romance between two really decent people. Both of whom, individually are really loveable but together (at least at the start) clash. They have very ironically and drastically different personalities: the idol is antisocial who seems to hate people in general (excluding fans), a mood in itself, whilst the no name reporter is a social butterfly that is hated by everyone for reporting the truth (at least from her view).
The SL couple: They were in a toxic relationship, not necessarily because it was abusive. The SML loves the SFL and she lives off of him despite the fact that she clearly doesn't love him. I felt bad for the SML for being in love with her and I hated the SFL for using him, his emotions, money and company to make it as an idol. I understood why he was always angry at the SFL when it came to the ML and I hated how the SFL always played innocent with him despite knowing that he knows her better than anyone else.
I LOVED the SML in this drama, despite him first being portrayed as a villain, he was always a really decent person that is always misunderstood by other people. I loved his relationship with the ML and FL, they all made such good friends. The friendship between the ML and SML was beautiful despite them not being friends for the majority of the drama. I hated how the SFL got in the way of the friendship between the two ML's and they both deserved better than the SFL.

Um clichê leve para descontrair
A história foca na jornalista Lee Geun Young, abusada pela maioria dos colegas de trabalho e que acaba saindo de um relacionamento de uma maneira conturbada; o protagonista masculino, Hoo Joon, é um idol reconhecido mundialmente que se recente pelas mentiras que a empresa responsável pelo seu debute teve que contar para adquirir fama, além de traumas do passado que deixaram grandes marcas em sua vida.O fatídico dia que ambos vão se encontrar acontece por causa de uma cobertura jornalística que Geun Young vai fazer e, estando lá, acaba presenciando atitudes de Hoo Joon, o que lhe dá abertura para adquirir um desgosto pelo idol e, assim, começar sua fama como a hater número um do cantor.
A minha primeira impressão pelo drama foi o desgosto pelos personagens masculinos. Eles simplesmente não portavam-se de uma maneira positiva. Hoo Joon agiu com uma agressividade desnecessária quando ainda não conhecia bem a Geun Young, sabendo somente que ela era sua hater. Claramente poderia levantar o ponto que isso é justificado pelo fato dela difamar ele na imprensa, mas a atitude inicial dele me deixou meio desgostosa com o mocinho no início.
Com o passar dos episódios ele foi mostrando mais de si mesmo e como suas ações eram limitadas ou elevadas pelo bem de sua grande fama, muitas vezes tendo que fazer coisas contra sua vontade.
A mocinha tem uma personalidade bem clichê dos doramas, onde escuta quieta as acusações sobre ela, não se defende. Esse é um ponto que me irritou também, já que ela não se colocava na frente para resolver algum problema em todo o dorama. Iniciativa é algo positivo, então senti falta disso.
Outra coisa que ficou clara foi a falta de investimento monetário no dorama, tendo cenas esquisitas e cenários que deixaram a desejar, além de problemas como a luz. Mas isso não me incomodou a ponto de abandonar a história, e assisti tudo sem problemas. Só deixo esse ponto claro para quem se incomoda.
O último tópico que quero ressaltar é uma das linhas do enredo utilizada para criar tensão: no fim, não alterou em nada e só serviu para um fundo mais dramático e momentâneo. Foi algo criado para preencher buracos que ficariam sem história, mas no fim, a falta de investimento no problema só mostrou que ele foi desnecessário.
Por fim, é um dorama de romance leve. Você acompanha o casal principal se conhecendo, vê a jornada do protagonista como alguém que quer ser melhor, fica bravo pela falta de apoio da protagonista feminina, mas também dá risadas com os dois juntos e leves suspiros nos momentoa fofos. A principal raiva vem dos personagens secundários, que também são os responsáveis pela maior parte dos empecilhos que acomete os mocinhos.
Enfim, é leve, fofo, traz um pouco de raiva e tristeza. Acho que é uma boa definição.
