Slapstick romantic comedy, simple plot, mindless enjoyment

While I watched the entire drama, I felt that I was more hyped to catch each episode earlier in the series, and the enthusiasm fell off as the story progressed. Overall, I still found it enjoyable to watch at the end of the day after work but it might not be for everyone and it's certainly not something I'm always in the mood to watch.

Story - While the classic case of mix-up is always fun to run with, about 1/4 way through I feel it was already fairly predictable how things would unfold. The bad guys are not overly complex nor their motives very clear other than they're. just. bad. people. I'm also not entirely sure how one of the couples ended up taking a liking to each other, like "when...how...?"

Acting - I was not blown away by the acting, nor was I overly disappointed in them. It got the job done, but I won't be going out of my way to follow their other works. Sometimes it was a bit cheesy but I think it was the style and feel of the drama in general

Music - Did not make an impression. I watched every episode and still have to think hard to remember OST or melody from this drama

Rewatch - No. Once is enough. It was not bad but don't need to rewatch, it would be too boring.

Overall - This is the type of show I don't mind watching if I've had a rough day or am just tired and want something mindless (simple plot, simple characters) to watch. Mostly humor, the bad guys get kicked by karma, angst if any is light and brief and quickly soothed over. It works as a lighthearted little story to take your mind off things. But if I'm in the mood for a deeper more satisfying story, if I want acting that immerses me in the story and characters that I feel invested in, this drama would fall way short of expectations
