I've watched this series 3 times already.

I know the acting is not good, I have seen a lot of korean drama and Cha Eun Woo is definitely not the best. The acting is stiff, the emotion is not being delivered well, every scene he gives the same face, even I had 0 intention to watch rookie historian goo-hae-ryung because of him. The FL is not that good either, maybe she is slightly better on delivering emotions, but the awkwardness between both of them is very cringy. The side character story also quite boring, especially Do Kyung Soek's sister, did not care about her at all.

But somehow the story always brings me back to watch this series all over again. I love the story so much and I can feel the main character's insecurities. The story brings out the reality in the current situation. How the beauty standard is playing a large part in one's life and how we need to accept ourselves without thinking about what people think, how society needs to shut up and stop giving anyone pressure about appearances.

Well I hope the portrayal of such a strong story had been given to stronger actors, but this series is all I get and I will keep getting back to it anyway.
