Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, start here.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 16 hours in all.
What might put you off: It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

An average pastry chef agrees to pose as a wealthy restaurant owner’s pretend girlfriend – but real feelings make things complicated.
