9/10
Unclassifiable, but very refreshing
20 February 2024
This show cannot be classified conventionally, unless you use a lot of contradictory tags.

Is this a soap opera?

Yes, definitely, but with an unusual premise and with gender twists.

Is this a comedy?

Yes, and with very funny scenes and characters, but with a lot of tragic drama and a bit of thrill.

Is this about women's empowerment?

Yes, definitely, but with a very romantic male hero, which seems to be against the general idea, but the actor is so cute that his character really works.

Is this cheesy?

Yes, in a Korean-cheese way, which I usually dislike, but this time made the trick.

Is this cartoonish?

Yes, of course, it is based on a webtoon and it shows, but the actors are accomplished, and they bring to life what could have been just anime characters in black and white.

Is this based on values?

Yes, and it also shows. That is refreshing.

Is this frivolous?

Yes, but it also poses philosophical questions related to destiny and the possibility of changing one's life.

I am not a particular fan of K-dorama shows, but I must say that I enjoyed this very much, despite all the «buts» and «c'mons» that I usually object when I give a try to this type of series. So, much to my own surprise, I honestly recommend it!
