Her date is Taemu, her company’s hot new CEO, and he’s got his own plans to get his family to back off by marrying whoever shows up on the date. Should Ha-ri accept his proposal to keep playing pretend? Nothing could go wrong with lying about your real identity while dating the boss...right??

Only read the main story

The after/side story really ruined this for me. Incredibly forced happy endings for everyone, meh..

Stick to the drama

by strangledwords

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

Although it has a “true ending”, the manhwa falls short of the kdrama in lots of ways. There’s no significant character development, the FL has no charm, and the ML becomes uninteresting. The kdrama has a lot of charm to the characters, and even with a lackluster and cliffhanger type ending, it’s still more enjoyable than reading this was. A shame, but I finished it just to know I was done with the story.

Truly recommended for a light read.

It is a simple romantic tale where the ML is perfect in everything, nothing more and nothing less.
The plot starts differently than other romantic manhua/mahwa but then the unfolding is very similar to others I have read before.
I have been waiting for the Side stories to be published as well.
The main story does not end badly, certainly the side stories complete the narrative although one I would have liked them to have delved more deeply into it (I won't say who otherwise I'm doing spoilers...enjoy your reading).
Otherwise it fits. As already mentioned I recommend the reading.

Funny and fluffy romance & great artwork

by Pompina Q

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

The art was great and the story was funny and fluffy. I liked reading it in between my other stories. I thought the timing on the comedy was really good plus I also really liked this story on Netflix.

Update since reading the special episodes
I had to change my rating on this from a 7 to 9. I find that a story can become polished and truly complete in the special episodes/side stories after the main story is finished.

I love it when we see years into the future after the end of the main story. This really brought this story to another level for me. I have always really liked the artwork and honestly I actually like this more than the Netflix episodes even though I like those to. I highly recommend you check this out. It’s also a great binge read with no heavy angst and happy endings. ❤️❤️❤️

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

Started good with the characters being funny and cool especially the ML being cold type and the FL being naive type.
But goes down hill way to fast it after sometime it was like reading some sort cring infestation book of stupid romcom.
Review after 85 chapters.
Sorry but couldn't handle this more should've dropped sooner.

Good

Decent read for the most part. I had to skim through some chapters just to get through the fluff over the unnecessary jealousy from FL. I honestly didn’t see the need to over stretch the story, but I guess the author wanted to milk it a bit more? It’s cute though.

Simple and kinda drawn out

There is fun and cute moments. There isn't a whole lot of drama, mostly it's just tedium. The art is good.

Review

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

Hari decides to go on a date for her friend but the guy she meets at the date ends up being her boss, Taemu Kang! She tries her best to keep her identity a secret but it'll only be a matter of time before he finds out.

The art was blindingly beautiful however other than that it was nothing new. A boss-employee relationship full of misunderstandings. And having the female lead gush over the male lead saying things like "omg he's hot" and "he's so handsome" made it seem as though she was just a fan obsessed with her idol rather than a romantic relationship between two people.

It is also such a pity that my favorite character in this manhwa, Hari's younger brother Hamin, did not get his happy ending. Though he was just a minor supporting character I was sad when I realized that the one he liked didn't like him back.

However, all of this did not mean I didn't enjoy the story. In fact, I did. While the story felt dragged in certain parts, I did have a good laugh at times because of how funny it was.

It's quite popular, but I don't understand why it's popular. No depth at all.

I started reading this a while ago because many people always mentioning TOBD (It has huge fanbase, at least from what I see from every Kakaopage's comment section). Many people were a fan of Kang Tae Mu, and there were a lot of requests to adapt this to K-Drama. However, I'm disappointed that the story isn't as good as the hype. It's your typical office romance. Yes, the male lead is charming: CEO of a big corporation, handsome, and sexy. But that's all. There's no depth in him that charmed me as a reader. Or anything from his relationship with the FL that charmed me..

The way the relationship was brought was really superficial. "He's handsome and you're not bad yourself. He likes you, and you like him. Why not getting married as fast as you can?" I really hate this simplistic logic of marriage in every manga and manhwa. I think the FL is the only one who's "sane" in this manhwa, since she think marriage seriously and didn't want to rush it.

Not to mention that there are a lot of unnecessary, prolonged drama between the four main characters, that doesn't contribute anything more to the depth of their relationship..

I'll give it a five, unless someone could give me reason(s) as to why this work is good.
