Gu Renqi as a character was the usual rich male lead with a trauma. While I did not find his trauma convincing enough at first, I eventually understood it. I also wasn't fond of the fact that everyone around him kept saying his grandfather cared for him as it seemed absolutely nothing like that. It only looked like a selfish grandfather created to make the male lead mysophobic. The way it was settled out was also really quick? Especially since his grandfather never looked like he wanted to give Renqi the closure he needed.
Shi Shuangjiao is also the typical female lead. At first I thought she had a character of her own but at the end, it seemed like she existed just to be a partner for the male lead? There wasn't much I could get from her character.
I'm not sure if they made Lu Xian so dislikeable on purpose, because there was literally no story about him except from the fact that he liked Shuangjiao. Also trying to sabotage their relationship while acting as a therapist was downright low. There were redeemable moments but nothing could really make him better in my eyes after that.
I don't have much to say on Qianqian and Dongqian but I thought they were cute as well.
Wasn't really fond of Zhu Yan and Junjie. Not sure if it was because of how their story was written or how their characters were written.
It seemed like they forgot about the antagonists along the way and the whole story was dragged on for longer than it could take.
The OSTs were beautiful and made it all the more worthwhile.
Overall, this was a sweet, yet simple drama that was able to take me out of a short-lived slump. I hadn't expected much from it but it gave me exactly what I needed. The chemistry of the two main leads were off the charts and their moments they had me grinning from ear to ear. The downside was how simple, predictable and forgettable the plot was. After episode 18, I was wishing the drama would end sooner.
If you're looking for a cute drama without the deep plot and complicated storylines, then this is definitely for you.

The relationships of the characters seemed to start really quick though especially with the main character. It went so quickly from Mob denying his attraction to liking Kikuri so quick. But I understand that it's all because it's a short parody special. It did make me think of how many people could be struggling with their internalized homophobia lol.
Overall a good special, I really have no regrets. It's a quick watch that won't leave you disappointed.

Maybe chill on the exaggerations
I'd just have to drop the drama or save it for when I have nothing else to watch. I do love Ji Chang-wook and while Kim Yoo-jung might not be one of my favorite actresses, I think she's good. All in all, it's a nice cast.I don't find the comedy funny though, several scenes I watched were so exaggerated, I couldn't really get past that. I think those work only in the webtoon and shouldn't have ended up in the drama.
Of course, I have absolutely nothing against the age difference, there just wasn't enough to draw me in from the first episode and from the plot line, it doesn't look like there's much story to tell.
I will not rate the drama till I start watching and this review is subject to change.
