A mix of workplace drama, second-chance romance, and personal growth story: Moon Ga-young plays Baek Su-jeong, a high school senior who forms a connection with an online gamer, only to face shock and betrayal when they meet in person. Years later, she meets Ban Ju-yeon (Choi Hyun-wook), her new boss at Yongseong Department Store, who turns out to be her past gaming partner.
It’s a classic enemies-to-lovers romcom with the familiar tropes we like but without the long angsty part (it’s only 12 episodes short). There’s only one villain (the ML’s grandmother) and as usual in K-dramas, she gets off lightly in the end.
Charming and delightful, it hops along nicely and the leads as well as the second leads are fun to watch — and so we sail thoroughly entertained into the happy ending.
