๐Ÿ’‹ The Kisses Reviewed for Squees and Sizzle:

The first kiss opened the gates to some truly precious moments between them, but of course, misunderstandings barged in like unwanted second leads. And when they finally confronted each other? The sexual tension couldโ€™ve melted steel. 

Miss Elegant Dali slaps Mu Hak when they reunite after she finds him snooping around with suspicions of sabotage, thanks to her trash ex-fiancรฉ stirring the pot. (Spoiler: Heโ€™s wrong, but just right enough to shake her faith.) But our chaos boy came dressed in his sexy pants that day. He warns her to stop or he wonโ€™t be responsible for what happens next. She tries to slap again, he spins her, traps her against the wall, goes full smoldering man, and delivers the hottest kiss of the series at the end of episode 10. Whew.

In episode 12, Mu Hak earns himself the cutest little peck of forgiveness after showing genuine growth and emotional maturity (swoon). He wants to make peace with the museum staff, and Daliโ€™s mischievous little smile says it all. Of course, that sweet kiss turns into a sizzling one real fast, deliciously so. Then the staff walk in and Dali has to act like she wasnโ€™t just making out in the middle of the office. Mu Hak, golden retriever that he is, plays alongโ€ฆ barely. 

Episode 13 gives us a meaningful, heartfelt, soul-melting love confession, followed by the perfect tender kiss. I practically levitated. (Click here for my mini squee about that love confession!) The show even blesses us with a replay at the top of episode 14. And yes, it leads straight to a frenzied, full-of-fire moment back at Mu Hakโ€™s place. Bedroom chaos? Served.

And THEN. This drama pulled a Dali-style trick on me, and I fell for it. They tease a time skip, and I fully believed it! I was gearing up for a rant, ready to protest this separation trope… only to find out it had only been a week. A WEEK! Dali was annoyed Mu Hak was sulking over a postponed trip. Mu Hak was miffed she didnโ€™t get why he was upset. Two drama dorks being dramatic. I loved it.

But it all leads to the sweetest moment: Mu Hak proposes, grinning like the golden retriever boyfriend he is, and Dali says yes. The finale leaves us with the most adorable, loving, marriage-level kisses that wrapped everything up in soft little bows.
