not bad but overrated

i really wanted to give this drama a better score than 7, but it's so full of tropes - though well executed - that i cant help it! the ML is really Mr Perfect, the FL is Miss Innocence, the parents are way too typical, the coincidences are never ending! it's also very predictable, slow, and... boring? after the first episode, all the action flows one direction. still it takes forever for anything to happen!
the woman-chases-man-first trope put me off - the FL acts clingy sometimes.
the old story of cohabitation and new love that heals past traumas is only saved by the good-looking faces - though i suspect filters were added - and the adorable cat... cinematography is excellent, benefits from modern technology.
everything is too polished to give the illusion of reality, like - the numerous expensive coats worn by the part-time waiter FL on a daily basis? seriously, her wardrobe wouldnt fit into a small rented room. this goes for the other characters as well.
support cast is excellent, though not necessarily needed to the main plot. a lot of scenes could be cut/skipped with no loss.
also... i'm not into narrative movies, i dont need that voice to teach abt what we see and what we should think.
watch it if you wanna kill time.
