I love their posters set. Cute couple.
Why was I watching it? No particular reason, apparently.
Sometimes I just randomly choose a drama to watch, and not checking the background of the drama. Got lucky sometimes, but hell ya, I found some dramas that I really didn’t bother to finish the first episode.
This time, I considered that I’m lucky. I like this one. Not as addicting as to Coffee Prince, but this is one of the serial I watched minus clicking ( passionately ) Fast-Forward button.
Here’s the data :

The story is, once again, not a new one.
It’s about 30yo single girl, Nan Hee, who is kind of unfortunate in work and love life. She is pursuing to become an author, but her mother keeps asking her when will she get married (sounds familiar? oh, that’s my mom.. 
).
However, she has younger boyfriend, up rising baseball player. She hesitated to tell to her mother about this boyfriend. ( I will too, if I have boyfriend like she has. He has not have ‘the guy you want to bring home’ material.)
And she also has this male best friend, whom she grew up with, Byun Hyung Tae
The cliche story begins.
They lived together. They share moments, deny their attraction, trying to live their own lives, but..the destiny ( or the scriptwriter to be exact ) makes them closer..
Nan Hee currently has boyfriend, a younger one, and ( probably ) hot one. A rising baseball player who really like her, ( thinks ) can live without her, but she’s hiding him from her family.
Girl, if you’re not in the urge to introduce your bf to your family, think over whether he really deserves become your man before you waste your youth! ( it’s my opinion, that is )
The young boyfriend.
This youngster cries A LOT. One thing I really want to brag about in this serial is this guy needs a shake. Hey man, ops, boy, you’re grown up. You have a noona to take care of. I HATE guys who are crying for no reasons. AND think that Love is beyond life.
Arghh. You have to see it by yourself to find out why I hate this character sooo much. ( and I don’t like the actor. )
my favorite scene. They seem have really comfortable relationship..
Nan Hee and Byung Tae got through the living together experiences, in cute way.
I wish I had male friend who is as reliable as Byung Tae. As hot as him is a Bonus.
The idea of “living together turns into love” drama is already quite worn out. Remember “Full House”?
I don’t know anything about baseball’s rules of game. So I can’t explain the correlation between the title and the story.
Anyway, this drama is very easy, I watched it without expectations, and mostly without thinking too hard.
Do I want to rewatch it one day? IF only no more asian dramas produced. Hahaha.
But I’ll definitely lend it to my beloved aunty, who takes every dramas I give to her! 
Oh. Lee Jun Jin is one of the hot military service’s alumni. ( Remember Jang Hyuk, Won Bin and So Ji Sub to name the few )
I’ve already forgot his weird accent English from Love in Harvard. I WILL take him home! 
From “Love in Harvard” time
present time. do your judging.
