Each episode explodes the viewers' dopamine levels, and we looked back at the romance quotes of So Baek-ho.
# Confession: "I want to cross the line"
So Baek-ho confessed to Kim Mi-gyeong (played by Lee Sun-bin) who questioned, "What exactly am I?", saying "I want to cross the line". Although So Baek-ho has lived by strict principles all his life, he opened up about how he frequently loses his composure after falling for Kim Mi-gyeong, creating a poignant scene.
# Sweet: "I'll be a soft peach"
During their first date, after Kim Mi-gyeong couldn't shake off work stress and provoked a discussion, she asked if he felt bad, to which So Baek-ho replied, "Not bad." When Kim Mi-gyeong said, "Why did you suddenly become soft? Are you a soft peach?", So Baek-ho answered, "I'll be a soft peach then," flashing a sweet smile that captured the hearts of viewers.
# Power: "I'm flirting with you"
After Kim Mi-gyeong was shocked to hear about her best friend's and younger brother's relationship and decided to run away to spend the night at the lab, So Baek-ho said, "I won't let you sleep alone here." In response, Kim Mi-gyeong thanked him, saying, "Thanks for the sweet soft peach mode," and So Baek-ho bluntly replied, "That's not being sweet; I'm flirting with you." As Kim Mi-gyeong was taken aback, So Baek-ho pressed on with, "Don’t you like it?", completing the 'breath-catching' moment.
In this way, Kang Tae-oh is showcasing 'the epitome of a romantic comedy male lead' by oscillating between charm and power. He has received praise for accurately capturing not only Kim Mi-gyeong but also the hearts of the viewers, sometimes as a soft peach and at other times with a fierce demeanor.
