Love triangle done right

As weird as it may sound, I think one of my favorite things about this show was its score. All the instrumental songs were just so good and added an extra layer of emotion to the show.

Also, Hye Ri's facial expressions ranked high up. I think "scared" was my favorite, exasperated and mischievous being close behind. This was my first time seeing her work, and I very much look forward to watching more of her stuff.

The love triangle deserves an honorable mention, I think. Never before have I low-key rooted for both guys to get the girl. Typically I can't care less about the guy that's the proverbial third wheel, but here I just felt so sad every time either Woo Yeo or Seon Woo got upset over Dam.

I really liked that Dam and Woo Yeo had pretty honest, open communication. Sometimes, it took them a little bit to get there, but in the end honesty always prevailed.

Also, I really led the development of the second couple. Hye Sun was so jaded when it came to men and relationships, and Jae Jin was a patented sweetheart. I feel like they complement each other well, and I liked the slow burn with them. It felt appropriate given their bad experiences with love in the past. They were adorable together.

Lastly, I really loved Dam's relationship with her BFFs Jae Jin and Soo Kyung and her younger brother.

Doom at your Service still remains my top favorite fantasy k-drama, but this one was really good too. A lot lighter and fluffier by comparison, but still great.
