Synopsis:

Cha Jin Wook is a son from a wealthy family who runs a large company. He usually only pursues short-term love, but when he meets Lee Yoo Mi, who has never had a boyfriend before, he changes. In a dating world full of busy people who tend to flirt and chase “some” relationships rather than having meaningful connections that allow them to show their true feelings, this couple has a one-night stand. They meet again three years later, whereupon they kick off a shaky push-pull romance that’ll keep them on their toes as they fall in love.

My Thoughts:

To be honest, I did not pay much attention to this drama at first because I felt it lack the attraction that I desired. That is until I saw a few FMVs of the couple that I decided okay, why not let's try giving this story a chance. 

It is a simple love story and that is probably what I liked the most about this story. Everything was not over exaggerated. They did it within the realistic ranges of relationships. Two people, one guy and a girl, met by chance, went through a series of embarrassing happenings, through them, seriously took notice of the other. They had a meaningful conversation and from there, they bonded, followed by attraction. Supposedly, this would just be your one-way ticket to happily ever after. But, we won't get 13 episodes of them if it just ended like that. Fast forward in time, they finally got to know each other's names and from there, it all started again. It was love paused in time, and then the play button was hit. They don't even really hate on each other. Once they found each other's feelings, that's when they really get it on. 

Their love was just cheesy and sweet. Hahaha... remembering the days when I have to feel second hand embarrassments are just funny.... The lead male was just a real flirt with the female lead. How they cared for each other and just took noticed of the little things that they found out about the other person. How they took each challenge in stride and solve each misunderstanding. Sometimes they just get so sweet to each other that I feel diabetic. Their simple romance blossoming was just a thrill to watch. 

Finishing this drama was of course sad, because I loved their simple love interaction and the look on their faces when they felt each other's love. The situations they made up to get closer to the person they love. This is a worthy drama to watch for sure!
