Oh this sounds cute and a great pairing as well!

I felt like K-actor Jang Ki Yong hasn’t been gone for military enlistment for that long but that’s due to him having a drama air months after he enlisted, namely Now, We are Breaking Up.

There are hot mess dramas and the just concluded SBS Fri-Sat romance drama Now, We are Breaking Up is definitely not that. It’s big problem was that it was pretentiously boring, it thought it was more than it was trying to be, and less than it actually delivered.

Last week I marathoned 7 episodes of Now, We are Breaking Up to catch up on the drama since I watched the first episode and left the rest on read.
