Reception
[edit]Frank Hecker, a staff writer at Okazu, gave the series an overall 8 out of 10, praising it and noting that "those familiar with mistaken identity romances know how this will end, but the journey on the way is quite enjoyable, thanks in large part to the central couple. As portrayed by Love, Sun is one of the most adorable and charming love interests ever to grace this solar system, while Milk’s Ongsa is completely endearing as she veers from giddy infatuation to agonized embarrassment."[7]
