This drama is one of the best k-drama i've ever watch.The acting is good.The story good.The joke is amazing.Alot of value.Good writing.Good and memorable dialog. Character development is good enough.

I didn't really have high expectations from this drama. It has a strange title (it makes scense once you watch it) and the synopsis didn't make me want to watch it at first. But I have to admit, that it's very good. It's literally the first kdrama, from the many I've watched so far, that did everything right. I know that most kdrama fans will disagree with this statement but let me explain. Good acting, good music (and most importantly not overused), good scenario, nice humor, nice dramatic scenes (but not to the point you want to cry all night long). I like many kdramas, but even my favourites lack on something. For example, "Something In The Rain" is one of my favourite dramas (not ony kdrams), but I have to admit that I grew tired of listening to "Stand by your man". Believe it or not I rated "Something In The Rain" with 8 stars instead of 9 because of that.

To be honest this is not one my favourites. It's not the type of dramas I like to watch and it was hard for me to watch more than 2 episodes at once, unlike other kdramas. But I really enjoyed it. The only thing I didn't like, is some parts of the fast conversations, but only because I've watched its with subtitles and I didn't have time to properly read, so sometimes I had to pause or rewind. And some conversations were a bit weird, but this could be probably poor translation. This is,unfortunately, a problem,when watching a drama or a movie in a language you can't understand.

By the way, it's not really so close to reality as some people wrote in their reviews, but it's ok. This is actually for the best because it's humor works better this way. There are so many things I could write about this drama (social critisism, witty humor, making fun of product placement etc), but I think I wrote what I needed to write.

Edit: I forgot to mention that although it's supposed to be a romantic comedy, it focuses mainly on the everyday life of the characters (worklife, life decisions etc) and if anything it's mostly a comedy.

This series plays like an audio book. The dialogues are fast, witty and rich in philosophy. The series is full of surprises and twists. It deals with relationships where comradery, love, friendships are explored in a deeper level. It does not follow typical k-drama cliches. You are expecting one thing to happen but something completely surprising and insightful occurs.

If you are into the contemporary Korean language and want to learn more of literary devices such as alliteration, onomatopoeia, pun and etc, you will not be disappointed with this series. The current translation cannot convey all of it, but does a decent job.

I loved the low eyebrow humor and the dialogues. I have been desperately looking for a kdrama with as fewer clichés as this one has. I can't remember the names but none of the three couples went through the same predictable stages or were rushed to some forced endings.

The start and the ending of this series are not quite catchy but what's in the middle is just perfect with a mix of melodrama and supreme comedy. The series was well-acted and shot. I just wish they too, more effort in closing this series. It felt very open as if they were keeping a door open for a second season. It would have been better to see a conclusion to the various relationships this series portrayed. Still, it is worth the watch. I recommend it.
