Nice and relaxing romcom

I started watching this drama for Johnny. I loved him in Addicted. Also tried to watch Love’s Knot (for him), but it didn’t work for me – only his workout sessions kept me for several eps, though.

In this drama, his character and acting are not as addictive as in the mentioned BL drama. He does convince me, though. Nice chemistry with Dilraba.

I saw Dilraba in Eternal Love. Hated the her clingy character, but her acting is ok-ish. I like her in Love Designer, but still kind of ~ish. As the ML tells her – she needs to bring some life into her character; there are sparks in her acting, but rarely seen.

Other than that, it is a romantic comedy – you will have spurned and vengeful second love interests, business rivals and matchmaking parents. Still a fairly good romcom – not even for Johnny was I able to watch Love’s Knot, while I am very much enjoying this one.

My hope is that the main leads will remain sincere in their speech until the final episode. I like that they are open and honest with each other, I like that they take into consideration each other’s words. Insults and bad jokes are cause for hurt and getting upset, but trying to grow each other – even with harsh words – it’s not. I believe this is what I like most about this romcom. Yes, some arrogance, some hidden feelings, maybe a relationship a bit cold and etc., but so far, a mature and normal one.

I absolutely love Luo Luo, but the other characters are kind of forgettable. Also stereotypes, but well.. it is a romcom.

I also work to get over Dilraba’s lack of expressing her feelings most of the time. Having Johnny around helps me, since he is quite intense. And handsome. And well built. And those steamy kisses.

Decreased the story points, since I remembered the excessive product placement.

Too early to talk about rewatch… Even though I might rewatch really soon episode 14.
