a none bias review of the kdrama(mosty with the acting and ost)

Okay first of all, I have read the webtoon series but only the season 1 since I though I might spoil myself, but that was not the case. If anyone who would like to really fully know the whole story I recommend reading the webtoon rather than watching this. (English isn't my first language)

Lets talk about the story line; tbh I felt like the story was rush. Wherein some parts are dull and unnecessary and other were too much which isn't part of the webtoon at all ( I do understand that this is adaptation but it was way too much)

The acting...my god tbh only half of the actor/actresses were able to portray the characters from the manhwa, However as the it continues their acting became natural but I notice that they were uncomfortable with their co-stars. I'm now gonna go more the chemistry between the main lead(maha and ryok), 2nd main(yujin and hyunji), and some other chemistry that are WORTH MENTIONING.

The main lead: chemistry was off especially with maha in the beginning but later on went to ryok. where in maha was the clingy one in the beginning but ryok went full on pick me boy, knowing HE BROKE UP WITH HER BUT CLINGS TO HER AFTER HE BREAKS THEM UP. Following her everywhere she go, like a lost child begging for attention(like bruh you acting like she broke up with u but its the opposite). I truly lost hope on the main lead at that point and just invested my focus on the other interactions between the characters.

The 2nd lead: okay these two I've been rooting for them since day one, but their chemistry with each other started out a bit awkward but later on I notice they both improved a lot both nayoung and yunho(hyunji and yunho) However they did well for being the 2nd lead couple. I only wished for more interactions between the two.

My fav couple/duos:
1. RIA AND THE SHAX MEMBER( im sorry I forgot his name) THESE TWO, THEY HAD MORE CHEMISTRY COMBINED WITH THE MAIN LEAD THE 2ND LEAD COUPLES. They deserve to be known, their acting with each other was so natural as well with storyline. They were flawless as if they were a real couple.

2. HYUK AND DOJIN, honesty I really didn't think that I would end the drama and remembering this duo. They were two peas in pod. What surprised me even more is that even if hyuk is more on the cuter side, Jongho playing this role is such a good choice and even placing him with yuri(dojin) made it better. They were so natural and comfortable with each other , and while watching it I just though I was watching a couple of besties having fun.

3. Ryok and SHAX MANAGER, now I know I slandered ryok at first but his interaction with his manager just makes up for it. These two were amazing, the classic funny duo which I truly love.

4. Lalima and Tea party Manager, Both of them weren't a couple but I love their friendship and professionalism with one another. Both being caring for the people around them and acting mature in making decisions( even if Lalima was the antagonist in the start you will start to love her as the story goes on)

Now I want to talk about the ost/songs that were in here. First, DIAMOND-sparkling HAS POTENTAIL BUT THEY MADE IT A FLOP SONG ON PURPOSE. My first listen to this song I became a fin asap but as it keeps one repeating I learned to love it despite that horrendous autotune/nassle voice at the start and rap. TEAPARTY/OMEGA 3, I kid you not I have this song stuck in my head and I don't care since it was so good. Knowing that the actress were past trainees and idol I knew the one would come out great but I was shock with the actress that played as maha. She is good at singing and dancing, you can really see that she did her best in portraying her role. MALO-Shax, its a bop. I'm not surprised since shax is suppose to be the best group in imitation. The melody and chores fits so well with each other.
