π Review (WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I’m Not Saving You from Emotional Damage)
Nam Haeng Seon retires from her career as a national athlete and now runs a humble side-dish store—peaceful, quiet, and exactly what she needs. Enter Choi Chi Yeol, the “Trillion Won Man,” a private instructor so successful he’s perpetually grumpy. Sparks fly, worlds collide, and suddenly I’m caught up in a story that’s funny, heartwarming, and—miracle of miracles—actually avoids that classic K-drama dragging syndrome.
What makes this one stick? Timing. The jokes land, the romance develops naturally, and you’re never stuck staring at a wall wondering what the heck a character is doing for five straight episodes. It’s light, entertaining, and bingeable in the best possible way—perfect for ignoring snacks, responsibilities, and occasionally even sleep.
π Final Mood:
Fun, romantic, and consistently charming. This is a weekend binge you can finish with a smile, not an existential crisis.
