Clueless
I am always sorry to see all the wasted effort actors put into a mediocre result. And they were not shy about it like in majority of korean bls. I wish only the story was more interesting instead of just being a string of clichés.
Starting with the most used and annoying one: childhood best friends who lost touch meet again twenty years later and pick things up where they left off. I wish that for once the childhood trope did not win.
Then there is the completely clueless man magnet, a former idol working as an intern and having three men chasing after him. On the other hand, he looks, behaves and has the understanding of a 12 year old. I don't really get why they would be all attracted to him. His innocence? He needs to be told straight what he has to know, subtlety is not within his comprehension. So the only man who is straight with him, wins! The other two men eventually console each other.
The other Jun, who wins, is a rich and smart individual but he looks off. There was something about him that did not sit right with me, he seemed shifty, manipulative, too smooth to be true. I am not saying that he is like that, he just looked like that. The casting was wrong: I could see that actor play charming and evil psychopath you cannot help but root for!
No one seemed to be bothered about boss/employee relationship. Sometimes I am having trouble accepting certain society rules being broken for the sake of fiction. On one hand, if the rules are not broken there would not be a drama. But what about if they are not mentioned at all? Should they be at least used as guidelines? Maybe in a perfect world! I am too much under the millennials' influence here. Vade retro !!!!
The worst was the music: annoying, soulless elevator music. The budget was tight I guess! The overall production was the ordinary korean web drama quality: cold and unimaginative though, for the first time I notice that the sound was better (no echo!) than it usually is.
It is a watchable webdrama. Instantly forgettable. Everything is a bit off here: pacing, writing, production, acting. If you need something short and not too heavy on brain cells, this is an adequate product. Nothing more, nothing less, just adequate!
