Self Apologetic Has-been Seeks Redemption

I felt compelled to write this review on account of the number of 10/10 reviews this drama recieved. Not that there is anything wrong with having a different opinion. I myself, can't forsee a drama that I would rate a 10/10. In no alternative universe could I possibly rate this drama anywhere near that high.

The dialogue in this drama is (hopefully) purposefully cheesy and nonsensical. If you are into over-the-top characters with matching dialogue, then you won't mind this.

The actress who plays the FL, played the same loveable, self-apologist jellyfish character she always plays. She even apologizes for the very act of filling her lungs with air at some points.

I get that she is meant to be a character whose soul was crushed with disappointment, so that she has very little self-esteem left when we are first introduced to her, but please, at least make her stop apologizing for her very existence. It's right up there with having a high-pitched, whiney voice in terms of the sheer level of irritation this causes the viewer.

My god, woman! Grow a spine! Stop apologizing for existing! Anyway, the ML, when not preventing her from tripping over herself, is prone to bouts eccentric aggression of sorts. Using his celebrity to justify being rude to the FL, whilst secretly trying to help her career. The SML is consistantly respectful and kind towards her, but she obviously isn't as attracted to being respected, as she chooses the ML over the emotionally stable guy.

The ML happens to be absolutely stunning, so I guess that's why the FL is more drawn towards him. I'll never forget the scene where the ML is so distanced from his emotions, that he has to hug the FL to see if his heart is beating dangerously fast or not. ? Only to find, after he rejects her, that his heart monitor wasn't working.

ML is definitely an eccentric original character. I can't completely hate this drama, because of the absurdity of the ML.

Overall, I found most of this drama boring, because of the dishrag FL, but the actor that played the eccentric ML, delivering ridiculous lines with a constant stoic look in his face, but with broad, expressive body language. He is worth watching. He is an amazing actor. I don't usually notice body movement, but this actor actually acts with his body like no other actor I have seen. Very interesting.
