My Synopsis

Ahn Mi Nyeo (Joo Ah Reum) has had a crush on a guy that frequents her café for quite some time. But, things never seem to go her way. When she realizes he has feelings for her co-worker she buries her frustration in a little alcohol and ends up bringing home the cardboard cutout of Cha Eun Woo that that stands in the café. The next day morning, however, she opens her eyes to find the real Cha Eun Woo cooking in her kitchen and the cardboard cutout blank. He vows to help her with her guy problem and proceeds to give her advice. The more they spend time together, however, the more he realizes that he is developing feelings for her himself. But is he even real?

My Review: 9/10

This was super short but very cute little drama. We have every girl's dream happen where her favorite star steps out of a cutout and comes to live at her house. Right? Even better, he falls in love with her. Something he realizes when it is time for him to teach her about kissing. It is just an adorable little story, really. And won't take up too much of your time, so why not? I recommend it! 

Oh my goodness! Look at little Cha Eun Woo! Haha! He looks like such a kid here. Not that he is old now by any means but at this age he still has the kid look. He played himself in this short drama. A teen idol that steps off a cardboard cutout to befriend a girl desperate for love. After working to help her win over her crush he begins to realize that he is developing feelings for her. Yet, the good friend that he is, he continues to help. Will he get his opportunity as well? Cha Eun Woo did a great job with this one. It was early on in his acting career and you can see his potential right away. So far, I have really enjoyed his acting and am looking forward to seeing him in some roles that stretch him a bit more.

Joo Ah Reum played the leading lady Ahn Mi Nyeo. She works at a local café and dreams of being with a particular handsome man that frequents there. After again being thwarted in love she drinks a little and ends up bringing home a cardboard cutout of Cha Eun Woo. Magically he somehow steps off the cardboard cut out and she wakes in the morning to see him cooking in the kitchen. This seems to be his specialty and each episode has a food theme. Joo Ah Reum did a great job with this. She was also quite cute and helped to make this an adorable little story with her excellent acting. This was my first time seeing her in a drama. Following this, I was able to see her make a guest appearance in an episode of Dr. Frost. She played a main role for that episode and had to portray a girl with a psychological issue. She did a fabulous job there as well. A great actress who I look forward to seeing again in a drama.

There isn't much more to say, except to reiterate that this is a super cute little drama that I think people should watch. It won't take up too much time and it is low stress and a feel good little story. The friendship to love relationship in this is very natural. And, I love watching Cha Eun Woo realize his feelings and them not know what to do about them. Being the good friend he is, he continues to try and help. However, when he tries to teach her about kissing he almost gives it away. I definitely recommend giving this a watch! It is worth the hour it would take you to get through all the episodes.
