    Love! Love! Love!

    I totally binge watched this show. IT was the first Korean show I decided to watch. The word book sparked my interest. The trailer was a bit confusing, but I went for it and I am so glad I did.

    It doesn't revolve only around love and mushy-mushy- stuff. IT covers so many different lives!!

    The best part? It's set in a publishing company! I was not expecting that. I learnt so much about books. I am a reader/writer and it is my dream to work in a publishing house so this was THE show for me!

    Thank you for creating this!

    Great Storytelling!

    I find myself totally immersed in this love story. I have never been a fan of movies/shows where I had to read subtitles- but it popped up on my Netflix feed and I ended up binge watching the first 8 episodes. I can't wait until the next one. Loving the love.

    the moon is beautiful

    A captivating story of family, hardship, life, friendship and overall love and honesty. I cannot yet believe how much I have enjoyed this serie. I was captivated by the storyline from the first episode all the way to the end.

    I have learnt to love every character and must say is hard to say goodbye to them.

    I travelled alongside with them and fell in love with the language so much I forgot I had to read subtitles.

    I definitely recommend watching this show, you will end loving the story and thinking of working in a publishing company...maybe move to Korea?

    Not just a love story but a life lesson...

    Live your life to the fullest no matter what... Each & every scene of the series makes you fall in love with it. It's not just about romance but a lesson for life that whatever the situation comes in your life you should always face it with a pinch of smile. Each & every characters are lovable whether it's the Soft hearted President Kim or the stubborn Ms. Go every character has later which leaves an impact. But the character played by Ms. Song Har rin is just wow every times she appears on screen you are in for a wonderful moment on screen. She is just legit though not being the main lead. This is book which every one should read whether you are romantic or not. Beautiful...
