This has been fun the first two weeks! There's parts of the fangirl stuff I don't love, but Kim Jae Wook is perfect in this show. It's already getting into some of my favorite romcom tropes. Anyone else watching?

My mom's been following this drama.
And despite my initial reluctance, I'm slowly getting charmed by this show. I can't help it that i'm a sucker for fake relationship trope. >

Park Min Young is forever shippable with her costars. This time, its off the roof for me! They look so good together. I'm enjoying it so far =) and laughing at some relatable parts of being a fangirl.

I want to watch so badly, but the last few times I fell for a romcom they went so bad. SO BAD. And one was with my girl PMY, I'm so worried about being drama-raging again ....

This one is hard. He's kind of a conceited ass, here we go tsundere, and the fan stuff is so much. He's really rude while always complaining someone else is... When they're not so bad actually.

But then in episode one he had a so relatable "what the f-ck" that I was charmed. What to do???

Glad im not the only one watching it! Them being saesangs is a choice, omg I like the self awareness at least. I hope the main girl eventually realizes how problematic her behavior is. Im also dead at the ryan thinking PMY is in a relationship with her bff lmao a mess!!

YES. I was cracking up at him being like, “wow I was being super heteronormative just now” (not in those words obviously).

Also, her behavior is super problematic, but I was kinda sad at how judged women get for even doing something as chill as a fan signing!

[daynr.livejournal.com]

That was one of the few charming things he did to counter being a brat much of the time. It was great!

I’m really enjoying this drama.
My only concern is that it normalizes obsessive fan behavior. I was super mad that she decided not to press charges and instead sympathized with her attackers because they were fans.

The show is fun but it's headed for a love triangle story and I'm not really excited about it. Also this Kim Jae Wook is really pretty but he looked to me like male Bae Doona in the beginning and it was really tripping me.
