this was my question when I first started this drama with NO EXPECTATIONS whatsoever.
This is another arranged marriage drama and I watched this right after "delightful girl choon hyang " which both have arranged marriage elements. But even though both these dramas felt similar in a way, I think DGCH is a bit better, but this one a bit less annoying..

First Impression:
I like the ML. He's a mature man who cares about his work and not really anything else. He's 28.
The FL on the other hand is so annoying!! especially in the first few eps. at around ep 8 or so she maybe calms down a lot but towards the end of the drama, she drifts back to her old self again. She's very immature and yells so much at people, even strangers and I just kept thinking "would anyone ever do or say any of this irl?" Also whenever she has conflicts with the ML almost always got angry and ran away. She's supposed to be 18, but she felt more like she was still 14 or 15 tbh. In the end of the drama she's probably 20 or so and she doesn't change. But she's made the ML show more of his immature side too.

But instead of talking of all the bad points, I'll tell you about some good ones:

Secondary Characters:
the ML's ex girlfriend comes back and she is a real bit* in the beginning and I dislike her attitude, but at the same time..honestly there were times I thought she would be a better match for the ML. and. towards the end of the drama, she becomes a character I actually liked.

The ML's sister who somehow think she has a say in her brother's marriage is quite annoying at first, but towards the end she finally accepts the FL as her sister in law and she has a cute romance with the ML's friend. He was funny I thought.

The ML's grandfather is even better than the ML in this drama! he's a cute grandfather and looks like he walked right out of a sageuk drama :)

I'm still wondering how the FL's quite nice mother could've raised such an annoying, immature daughter..like did she not teach her anything? I really wonder that..

Story Broken Down:
1.) ML & FL's grandfathers were best friends and kind of like in "Goong" they arranged for their grandchildren to get married some day.
2.) ML & FL have a bad first encounter
3.) ML & FL find out about the marriage, when his grandfather (who lives in Andong) finally finds the FL's family again. ML doesn't want to marry an immature child and I can agree with him. they both strike a marriage contract plan and decide to marry.
4.) at ep 8 or 9 they have their first kiss
5.) at ep 11 ML tells FML he loves her first and ep 12 she admits she loves him too
6. ) ep 12/13 they become real husband and wife
7.) ep 14 or so she finds out she's pregnant
8. ) some dumb conflicts come up
9.) time skip to when the couple have twins and are going on a honeymoon. there are some cute voiceovers and then it just kinda ends there.

Music:
It used some englisch songs and had some of it's own OST, but it wasn't that memorable.

Conclusion:
One thing this drama does have is some cute couple moments which made me squeal from time to time and that's what makes this drama still enjoyable: the main couple.
But I do think this drama is a bit long and doesn't have that much stuff going on.
Also there are some plot holes:
- FL in the end of the drama wants to find her dream and in the end it's hinted that she becomes a seamstress, but it isn't clear if she does or not.
- *spoiler I'm sorry* the grandfather dies and after his quick funeral it shows the ML crying and then there's a time skip.

I'll give it 7.5/10 because of the couple, but the FL can really get on your nerves and don't really expect much character development.
