what’s it about
Two collegiate-aged young adults share a rooftop apartment…is this a romantic comedy, you ask? Yes, what gave it away? The sharing of a rooftop apartment being the central plot perhaps? Anyway, this was a big deal because of the co-ed housing situation (as non-married co-habitation is not exactly the norm nor encouraged behavior in the Korean culture). Kim RaeWon spends most of the drama being a lovable and noncommittal horndog jerk (that sort of sounds like a negative description, but isn’t meant to be), and Jung DaBin is the waif that feeds and falls in love with him.

It felt a little long considering the really lean plot premise of lazy law student crashing at hard-working female friend’s rooftop pad while pining for the prettier classmate. Thaaat was about it. BUT Kim RaeWon was full of long-limbed goodness and all kinds of puppy dog adorable that somehow a viewer is tricked into watching...and watching...and watching...well, I was anyway. Hmmm, and I guess technically, he was supposed to be a stray cat...but truly, he felt more like mongrel.
after the first episode
