Reveal the reviewThis one is so much fun! If you’re into enemies-to-lovers stories, you’re in for a treat—Ali and Kirby absolutely nailed it. Their chemistry is magnetic, their banter is electric, and their dynamic instantly reminded me of the Japanese drama Good Morning Call. Forced cohabitation, clashing personalities, slow-burn romance—except this time, it’s not about high schoolers, it’s two grown adults figuring things out in the most chaotic and adorable way possible.
Let’s start with Corinne:
She starts off as a spoiled rich girl who’s clearly never done a load of laundry in her life. But after fleeing an arranged wedding, she’s cut off by her family and has to learn to live on her own… sort of. Enter Andy, her unwilling but irresistibly attractive roommate.
What I loved about Corinne is how much she tries. Yes, she’s a mess—who cleans the floor with olive oil or blows dust away with a hair dryer?! But that effort makes her endearing. And when she opens up about feeling like a pawn in her family’s business deals, it’s hard not to root for her. One standout moment? Her fiery speech at the bookstore. That was the moment I realized—she’s more than just comedic relief, she’s got grit.
Now, Andy:
At first, he’s the picture-perfect CEO—smart, successful, calm under pressure. He even stands up for Corinne against a major client. But as the story unfolds, we see his flaws. The way he accuses her of betrayal? Oof. That hurt. And the classic “it was just the alcohol” excuse after they kissed? Please. Still, he redeems himself in the end by putting her freedom and happiness before his career. Even if he could’ve maybe talked to her first, it was a swoon-worthy move.
The Besties: Luke & Monica
These two chaotic best friends had good intentions, but their “truth bomb” nearly wrecked everything. We love them, but let’s never let them interfere again, okay?
The Delusional Duo: Betty & James
The rejected suitors. Betty’s more tragic than evil, really—raised to believe Andy was her future. James, on the other hand, is persistent in the most annoying way. These two need a dinner date… with reality.
Final Thoughts:
Corinne and Andy are the onscreen couple I didn’t know I needed. Their slow-burn romance, full of laughs, missteps, and heartwarming growth, was everything. I loved every moment of watching them deny their feelings, only to fall harder. This series was an absolute delight!
