HA Jun 03 2024 1:27 pm I started watching this with no expectations, just wanted something to watch and it was so good! It made me laugh and reflect on my life as well, really hope they make a season two

Park Min Mar 07 2024 5:05 pm It had a pretty normal start with introducing the story and the characters, nothing about it peaked my interest. The story itself was too safe, tame and outright boring, they didn't attempt any challenging situation even when they wanted to create conflict or tension. The comedy was a hit or miss, they didn't have a lot of material to work on in the first place. The main running joke was the unemployed main guy which got really stale overtime. The drama also lacked good dynamics between the cast, the small size of the active cast didn't help either. The side stories ended up being white noise. Too many of them had a good potential to craft something meaningful but the drama refused to take any of them seriously and gave each one a halfhearted resolution at the end. I can see problems and gaps from translating the manga into a live action format, something didn't click. I'm sure the manga fared better for such themes and stories.

Jb May 12 2023 1:15 am all I can say is so very good & heart warming Korean drama..i can relate this kind of character & the story in real life ..hope te see more drama of Park Hae Joon... He is a very good actor ..regards from Philippines ??

Hi Feb 15 2023 3:57 am The user rating doesn't do justice to the whole drama.. it should be rated at least 90 because it is so good... There are a lot to learn not only from park haejoon's character but all characters..
