Full of fluff and laughter

I do not know why this was rated so low. I thought it was due to either poor characters, writing, but no, it's perfectly fine. As in, it's a very optimistic view - well more far fetched but I'm here to get out of touch of reality - of marrying a stranger. Especially from a dating app. As you know, there can be creeps but thankfully this doesn't even touch that. Not even the slightest. It's fluff pure on fluff which I love especially of a what if scenario that while may very foolish to some, it has a chance to work and it did. I laughed and smiled watching this. That's all I could ask for since I don't want to see misunderstandings turn to tears. I'm in my 30s, I don't need to see the hard parts of life anymore. I get it and I've went through them even. I just want a piece of happiness and boy did this deliver.

Let's get to the nitty gritty.

Story: It's very rare to find a couple whom works in the same company and in different departments. However, the reasons they do marry are real: he doesn't want his mom to worry about him living alone and for her, she wants to marry after a break up due to a cheating fool. I don't give cheaters second chances and she thankfully tells him off when the shows for a little bit at the start and then thankfully disappears after that. Praise be! The couple then finds themselves at crossroads of the simplest and big things for a couple. I won't say what, but trust me when I say this: if you want to see a nice short series of people willing to talk out things, then watch this. It's a breath of fresh air that is so refreshing.

Don't watch for the drama, it has a sprinkle of it and that's it since it doesn't drag on and on. All speed bumps are solved in a very realistic manner which I appreciate and thankful for. That isn't to say it's done quickly, it's done *right*.

Acting/Cast: The two leads have incredible chemistry to where I could get numerous cavities and the steamy scenes (they show no nudity) are very well done. The kisses sometimes are awkward but not to the point where they're tense. Rest of the cast are real and the acting was great, though I did want some more reactions of when the leads eventually told their coworkers about being married.

Music: It was so good that it didn't distract me and that says a lot for me. It fit the mood where it needed to, couldn't get better than that.

Rewatch Value: Heckin yes I will rewatch this later on the road whenever I need a sweet fluff love story pick-me-up.

Tl;dr: Watch for the fluff, don't expect much drama. Fantastic chemistry between the leads and a lovely - even if far fetched - plot. Sometimes we need a feel good short series.
