It would've been much better if they were, including the cat, all vampires.

There is a fun drama in here with engaging characters but it’s wrapped in a bad drama burrito and then slathered with makjang sauce. Could have been salvaged with ironic narration by the cat.

Enjoyable watch? Yes.
Enchanting male lead? Super YES.
Despite being an enjoyable watch, someway somehow it is lacking. But for whatever it lacks, it makes up for it with Go Kyung-pyo's charm. Which you can count on to be on display more times than 1, every single episode.

at 1st i love watching it. every episod is enjoyable but supposedly the most traumatic part for the lead actress was disposed so simple that she should have done that sooner. after that it was all sloppy closure for everybody.

PMY being PMY. GKP playing another lovable character.
Nice and funny first episodes, but no material for 16.
Nothing to lose if you watch, because it is an easy watch, and nothing to lose if you don't.

Its packaged as a rom-com with the typical tropes you’d find in one. Birth secrets, chaebol’s, contract relationships, love triangles, forgotten exes and broody male leads but instead wastes screentime on flat story lines and even more flat characters when the leads are charming by themselves and could have been the selling point. I probably could have rewritten the storyline to make it more engaging and cutdown on the makjang scenes. Thats just my humble opinion.

I started out watching just for Go Kyung Po and that’s exactly how I ended, and all the in-between was painful. Only he and Gwang Nam were interesting (and nice) and there was barely any cat 😾. This is one Bean that was hard-earned and felt like I dragged myself to the finish. I don’t recommend it unless you love GKP.

My problem with drama started with synopsis. I had my doubts but I always try PMY drama. As drama went on, my interest starting to wane and at the end I bean-watched it.
The only good stuff of drama can be summarized as the judge, the roommate and the cat.

That would have been an excellent title for the show!

The series felt disingenuous from the start. I got the impression the first draft of the script was about a high-end 'courtesan' (ahem) looking to retire but subsequent rewrites sanitized the story to the point where the premise became absurd. Suuuuure, serial chaste marriages-for-hire is a thing. Also, I'm sure there are lots of 36 year olds with sibling still living in orphanages out there.

The pitch is both correct and totally misleading.
This is not a comedy but a makjang with a lot of ppl and a rooster for nice Cafes.
Go Kyung Pyo and his portrayal of Ji Ho is by far the best aspect of it. He is very swoony.

This is probably the best description. It starts off as a rom-com then sharply u-turns into makjang territory. It attempts to course correct in the last episode back to rom-com but sort of ends as a sitcom/weekender with everyone living happily-ever-after together even though some of those people really screwed up and didn't really apologize and maybe shouldn't be forgiven so easily.

I too loved the first few episodes. They were fun, breezy and the bits with the cat were hilarious! Go Kyung-pyo had some awesome moments (i.e. him rehearsing what he was going to say while sitting alone in the courtroom, those subtle facial expressions--priceless!) But it stalled and I lost all interest by episode 14. Park Min-young is playing exactly the same character she's been doing in the last four dramas, so she was the least interesting thing about the show. The more the drama went on, the less sense her character made. She starts out one way then ends up doing a 180. I just didn't understand who she was any more, I just felt bad for the men in her life. Just the guys and the cat. That would have been so much better

I did really enjoy it, especially the first 8-10 episodes. Like many dramas if they condensed there it would have been great, short and sweet. I enjoyed the characters and the situation but the drama became just frayed and strained at the end, while still maintaining some sweetness. So overall glad I watched it, but no way a rewatch.

Just…don’t bother. Go kyung pyo was the best part of the drama but you don’t have to suffer this drama for that. Just watch the clips of the good bits on YouTube.
