Thanks for having me. I am so surprised by how much I ended up loving this show since many rom-coms this year have disappointed me one way or other. Everything about the drama works for me from the romance to the mystery bit. Special mention for Kim Min Jae who really brings this character to life. I just love how he's portraying Mu Hak - who is of course not the typical male lead. Usually most dramas use the tsundere sort of character for rom-coms, but here we have MuHak who is so loud at times. LOL! But I appreciate that what you see is what you get. And I love too that he is a self-made man and walks the talk.

Great of you to spare the time to do this.

I can't say I've watched that many rom coms this year -- not that I do generally -- but this one certainly works for me because there's a bit more nuance to it than one would expect in the genre. HomeCha was something of a disappointment because at the end of the day, the approach didn't work for me.

While I love Kim Min-jae in this and Moo-hak has gone from strength to strength I feel that we should give Park Gyu-young a bit of credit for how she's playing Dali. She's been terrific. The best thing she's done so far. I think too that Dali should be given some credit for effecting some change in Moo-hak.
