I usually get bored with the misunderstanding trope but this story is doing it right. I think most misunderstanding plots depend on the characters being complete idiots with no common sense and childlike mindsets. I find those characters unrelatable and unrealistic. But these two are clearly intelligent, successful, albeit sexually-naive adults whose lies just keep digging them deeper into confusion, and it's much more exciting.
