This is a drama with some comedy and romance.

Plot
Junior FMC in love with her super strict boss MC. The second MC is a rich board member who is suspected of selling core technology to russians. The govt sends a male spy, but rich guy completely ignores any man. So, they send a female agent, but the agent instead falls in love with him and even reveals the whole spy/russian allegation thing. Finally, FMC and MC are sent under the disguise of a married couple who live next door to rich guy. Will they succeed? or will FMC fall in love with the ... rich guy too?

Review
I will get straight to the point. The series was fun in the beginning, but it keeps getting more melodramatic and chaotic as time goes on.

Good things
1. Art is pretty cute
2. The whole concept of boss/junior pretending to be married couple while the target is a love interest is also great.

Bad things:
1. character progression: The characters are very messy. They start out fine, but their motivations and intelligence go all over the place. They stopped making sense by chapter 20-ish. Both male MCs have almost become simps for FMC.
2. The drama gets too serious as time goes on. The drama plot is pretty cliche too, where a dreamy happy go lucky girl comes to save a guy tormented by trauma.
3. The plot is dumb af. You need to completely stop using your brain.
4. There's lots of "misunderstandings" going on, and any time it might be resolved, the story immediately resets the progress. Especially the romance track of MC and FMC is just so weirdly progressing. When FMC is in love with MC, MC ignores her. When MC finally loves her, FMC ignores him. Then.. I don't even get wtf is going through these character's brains at this point.

I will just use one example. The female secret agent that falls in love with rich guy, goes into hiding after confessing everything to the rich guy. For a supposed "spy" organization with lots of budget, they are completely incompetent and can't even catch this single female agent. When our MC/FMC find her at a bridge at night with nobody around, they let her go just to avoid a confrontation in public which might risk civilian lives. Then, later, they learn that the female agent is in a bus going from the city to her hometown. Now, what does this secret service do to catch her? Drive to her hometown faster than the bus and try to catch her in a public bus terminal in front of everyone (what happened to risking civilian lives ???). Further, it turns out that she already exited the bus in the city itself, and didn't even come to hometown. lmao.

This series is basically a shoujo manga with lots of made-up drama. I will still rate it 4 for the art and some great comedic moments during the first 10 chapters of the series. But, the quality of plot or characters is pretty low and even annoys you at times.
