I really enjoyed this. My goodness, something about it just worked well for me. There was such an ease to their attraction and forthrightness to their romance that their instalove didn't feel like instalove. It was in no way the most exciting story because if we look at it as a whole, nothing particularly great happened but they made me believe they could make their relationship work and that was enough for me.

The subplot was a little meh but it tied in well enough with their story that I didn’t mind it too much. 
Asides from the MC (a journalist) not knowing some information that was just plain ridiculous for her not to know, one other thing I didn't like was how everything in the third act got resolved like someone waved a magic wand. Also, the little HEA reel at the end was not needed. 

I saw a review that criticised this having a Korean male love interest when the author is a white woman and I felt that criticism was uncalled for. The story was one POV and it was a white woman’s. Her love interest just happened to be Korean. I don't think there was any misrepresentation of culture or any perpetuation of stereotypes. We need more representation among POC authors but we also call out writers for not having enough representation in their books. Would you have preferred to have another story where the POC is a side character with 2 lines total? I see nothing wrong with a white person writing a POC character if they do the work and portray them correctly.
