The acting was good and it was apparent that the cast were comfortable with one another. I was not too fond of the opening and closing theme song but it suits the drama as it has a cheerful and cutesy vibe.
I would definitely rewatch this drama just to relief my heart from heavy and emotional dramas.

Something missing
This story was totally okay and I think anyone who likes romance k-dramas should give it a shot.The two stars it lost was because of my personal preference when it comes to Romance. It took too long for the FL to make a choice and when the choice was made I didn't feel like she was overcome with love. I don't expect a HEA if the FL is 18, but at 29 she should know herself better. So although the show ended happily it didn't feel like a guaranteed HEA. There is also no time to enjoy them together as a couple, because as soon as her choice was made the story ended.
For some reason I also wasn't crazy about the FL. Since I can't put my finger on it I guess it doesn't really make sense to include it in my review, but maybe someone else felt the same way.
Both the ML's also did things that made me scratch my head and in the end, although I'm happy with her choice I don't totally understand the reason for it. I did however like the ML's a lot more than the FL.
TL;DR the romance itself was lukewarm, but the rest of the story wasn't bad. It doesn't have rewatch value for me, since I want romance, but I'm not mad I watched it this once.

A short binge-worthy drama with great chemistry
If you are a fan of romance and want to watch this, it would be better to turn your brain off and simply enjoy the ride because if you think about it critically it's clear that many of the main leads's behavior wouldn't be so easily accepted in reality (especially KYK's character and the young playboy, they could pass as a bully and a sexual assailant in real life) BUT I admit it was really enjoyable if you don't think about it too much like I said. The chemistry is definitely here and the acting was mostly great. The only downside for me was the FL. Her acting wasn't really convincing and she wanted so much to appear "cute" that it became a little annoying. Also I would have liked it more if we had 1 more episode to better focus on the final couple now that they were officially together but I guess the story was more about "the path" than the "finality". On the other hand, I think that the dead father's appearance throughout the whole drama was a nice touch, it was sad but also heart-warming. So overall it's a 8/10 for me.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

NICE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN LEADS. PROBLEMATIC SCENES THAT WERE GLOSSED OVER. NOT BAD OVERALL.
This drama left me with mixed feelings. I found the basic premise - (a fantasy world where) multiple men in the same office fall for one woman - intriguing. I was interested to see how the story would be handled… and I was slightly disappointed? The male and female lead have such lovely chemistry, I wish the show would’ve capitalized on that but instead we had scenes filled with sexual harassment and men turning their pursuit of the FL into a chest-beating, testosterone-fueled competition - with a scoreboard and everything. It was giving very much “dibs”. The hoobae kissed her without her consent but it was glossed over and that didn’t sit right with me. There was also a man in the office that was a serial sexual harasser and that could’ve made for a valid conversation but it was (in my opinion) glossed over.That is not to say the show is without merit. I did end up watching all 20 episodes for a reason. The show was well-paced and the male lead somehow endeared himself to me enough to make me root for his grumpy ass (I say this with love). The male lead, Kim Young Kwang, was pitch perfect as the grumpy and competent Kang Tae Oh. Even though I felt there were scenes where his temper was written that (to me) outside of this kdrama land would land outright disrespectful, he managed to play this bad-tempered character with an underlying warmth that made you feel that he did not have malicious intentions. The female lead, Kwon Yoo Ri, while not perfect, leaned into her role as Go Ho and committed to the full range of delivery. She did a solid job.
This drama is binge worthy and fluffy in the right parts. It had all the makings for the perfect fluffy romcom, but it’s downfall was the writing. The actors did a solid job. If you’re looking for a show to watch for fluff and relaxation that doesn’t require you to turn on your brain, this might just hit the spot for you. I would rate this a 6.5/10 overall.

watch if you like short and light hearted romcoms
the chemistry, flow, and plot were all great! it was so hard for me to move on from this series when i first watched it bc of yuri and youngkwang's chemistry. there are only a few dramas where everything is balanced, and this drama is one of them. i still think about how great it would've been if this series were longer. there are gonna be a few characters that annoy and probably even disgust you from time to time, and there are also a few moments (esp in the first few episodes) that are a bit cringy, so just skip those parts lolenjoy!!! :)

I liked this drama very much just because of the romance. It made my love of Kim Young Kwang higher!! I loved him on pinocchio tho! :D
I will re-watch it some years later, of course!
And the story is sad and cute and funny too.

The plot consists of a reverse harem (multiple males liking one female lead) and some people could get easily offended from this drama by the way. If you don't think about it too much, you might enjoy this drama but a lot of the male leads are a bit forceful. I noticed some of the the other viewers didn't enjoy this drama as much as me because they said the male leads seem to force their feelings on her, she got kissed but she didn't allow it, they would court her when she rejected them, etc etc. But it seems like most people tend to have that problem with Asian dramas, if that's person is you, you might want to avoid this drama. I don't have that problem so... I liked it.
I love how direct the female lead was with her feelings. She didn't avoid the situation and she would confront them with her feelings. She does have her flaws, but I understood her a lot. I understood why she couldn't forget her ex-boyfriend, because she did love him. She is pretty, she has a lot of people who ends up liking her, but she is not perfect--and not anyone else in the drama either.
I would definitely recommend this drama to friends if they want a cute drama. It's been a while where I found myself rooting for both of the actors, because I came to like both of them.

This was short sweet and totally adorable show. I wish they would make more like these. There were no extra fillers, the story was focused, cute and interesting.
I really liked the grouchy bad tempered hero and for a change an innocent and lovable heroine. She was naive yet not dumb or stupid.
This was definately a feel good mood boosting drama. I finished it in one go as I could not stop.
Overall a must watch for the romantics and people who are feeling low. It will certainly cheer you up.

Out of Style?
I think if I watched this in 2016 I would have been pleased but the actions of the characters are so out of date that they’re now lame to me instead. I only watched 6 episodes and I did laugh a bit so it’s funny but I started getting uncomfortable at the non consensual kiss in episode 4 and the creepy guy who gave the kiss. I kept the fact that it was 2016 in mind but the way it was glossed over and how she acted around him after that was bizarre to me. It felt like I would wish I could get my time back if I finished it so I stopped. It feels like I’ve seen the show before in other old shows I’ve watched if you know what I mean. There isn’t much to miss. Also her mom? Ew? The good bad mother is a better mom.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Binge-worthy
It is a great, light hearted rom-com. It doesn't drag and will keep your interest. I liked how the female lead was funny and had a foul temper. Team Leader Kang is awesome. He is so fierce and at the same time is completely smitten. She has no idea. The ex-boyfriend shows back up in her life as her new team leader and has no idea why she is having such a problem with it.Next, comes the playboy newbie. He leaves no doubt what he wants. The best line in the series is after she tells him that he just doesn't excite her. "Sleep with me one time and you will be excited." Then he touts his skills and thinks that she will fall for him.
Add two more men who adore her. The middle-age chubby worker who has a heart of gold and is a dedicated family man and the older guy who just wants to have some fun.
She is baffled that she now has all these choices.

Deja Vu???
This is was my second time watching this drama because I thought I hadn't watched it before. I spent the first few episodes wondering where I had seen Kim Young Kwang in a leading or supporting role before... and it was this drama. I feel so stupid, not only because I forgot, but because I was essentially half way done with the drama before I figured it out. So that's kind of my break down. The rom-com abstract of this drama is great. Fantastic casting, good chemistry, and tsundere for dayyys. But the plot is anything but memorable. Highly re-watchable, though. Obviously. Lmao.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
