Remarks

[First Impression (Ep1-2)] Not long ago, I finished the webtoon, so I'm pretty happy with how it's flowing so far. They get right into it - and her revenge plans are about to happen. And the romance will likely happen soon, too. I'm waiting for the 2CP and 3CP ships to happen and sail.
[Actors/Actresses] I was worried about Na In-Woo playing this poker face role - and he's been excellent at it. (BTS indicates otherwise, hehe.) Choi Gyu-Ri as Yoo Hee Yeon is everything I imagined in a bestie and much more! :D
[Update] Lee Yi Kyung and Song Ha Yoon really steal the show here.
[Behind the Scenes]
- Eps1-2. Cafeteria scuffle and Joo Ran's doodle of Mr. Kim is on-point.
- Eps3-4. Na In Woo being cool...is not real. (I like his natural dorkiness.) Park Min Young is standing on a box while wearing those platform heels.
- Eps5-6. Drunk first-meet.
- Lee Yi Kyung has won me over in BTS. lol (I still hate Min Hwan though.)
- Park Min Young giving Na In Woo a piggyback ride – keep watching. XD (~10:05)
- Eps7-8. It's hard to work with cats. (I'm enjoying Na In Woo here.)
- Eps9-10. Jam-packed.
- Na In Woo's backscratcher.
- The water scene - no goggles.
- Park Min Young laughing at evil MIL actress.
- Eagle wings!
- Everyone losing it with the panties on Lee Yi Kyung's head.
- Lee Gi Kwang pointing out that Na In Woo is even taller with those ice skates. (He doesn't know how to brake either.)
- The kiss... Director and Park Min Young help with the movements.
- Eps11-12. Couple Achieved.
- The couple-y scenes! Lots of practice to make it cute.
- The cat is disruptive.
- Intro to Oh Yu Ra.
- Eps13-14. It gets dark.
- Choi Gyu Ri is just gorgeous.
- Elevator fight. Did Park Min Young really injure Lee Yi Kyung?
- The boxing scene with Lee Yi Kyung and Kwon BoA. His expressions are the best.That flop. XD (Yu Ra’s secretary smiles here!)
- Song Ha Yoon and Park Min Young’s argument. (I like how they hug after it's over.)
- More couple-y scenes. I knew this egg scene had to be hilarious in BTS!
- Director wants a hug from Na In Woo.
- Preparing for the strangle scene. She purposely wore the scarf.
- Eps15-16. The End.
- All of those prison scenes. (~7:15) Song Ha Yoon destroyed her voice from these intense scenes.
- Na In Woo being...devilish. (~8:17)
- Na In Woo even sings to this baby!! (~10:50) I think it’s funny that it’s the opposite in reality - he knows how to hold a baby. lol
- The art team did those lovely pink blossom pieces at the end! (~11:00)
- Na In Woo sitting on Ha Do Gwon’s lap. (~13:09) Oversized child! lol (I saw ones on Lee Ki Kyong's IG...even better. XD)
- Na In Woo and Lee Yi Kyung are
friendlyplayful with each other. (~13:34) The latter is hilarious in BTS.
