This was your fairly typical chick flick type book, or I guess I should say, k drama. It was entertaining and cute and very easy to root for Jacob, though not quite so much for Hannah who was quite nasty sometimes, not only to Jacob but also her dad. There is a fine line between pranks like shortsheeting a guest bed, but quite another to push someone away so hard and insult them which only hurts yourself. Hannah crossed that line a few times and it turned me off the story when she did that.

But I did enjoy the Korean references, from music to shows (I do like some of that stuff myself) and it was cool to see how Hannah gradually came to embrace at least parts of her Korean heritage. And Jacob saved the story. He is just so lovable. I think I would definitely watch anything that he might star in (yes, I know he is a fictional character, but still...). Too bad Heart and Soul doesn't really exist.

There is one fairly graphic scene near the end that was a bit of shock and I don't think it was needed to further the story. That is my own opinion though. And the rest was alright. This was not an enemies to lovers story, more like long lost childhood friendship to lovers.
