Routine Bingeable RomCom

Story: A famous actress who has a condition that she changes faces for a week, once a month. The story revolves around her struggles and ‘purpose’ of her condition. Although it was never explained how she got it but it gave us a meaningful metaphor of why she has it. It was an interesting concept and shown in a manner that can be believable.

Acting: This is my first drama of Seo Hyun Jin and I’m quite impressed with her acting especially during the first few episodes, however, it faltered during her emotional scenes with Lee Min Ki and their ‘separation’ scenes. She definitely did great as an actress in the drama and her other scenes with her mom and friends but I don’t know why I wasn’t moved with her acting when she was crying with or for LMK. Lee Min Ki, on the other hand, had the same robotic acting in ‘Because this is my first life’. It can be awkward and unimpressive at first but then you get used to it after. The rest of the cast did well and convincing enough but my favorite character is Lee Da Hee’s Kang Sara. Apart from being gorgeous, I just love how she developed in this drama and most of her outfits. I felt like kang sa ra and Han se gye were always in a paris fashion runway.

Music: Every song is catchy and appropriate to the scenes. There was this song which is quite similar to the goblin’s ost, maybe it’s the same singer? I’m not sure but I’ll find out later. The English songs used were cute too.

Rewatch Value: Definitely a rewatchable drama because it has many cute and funny scenes. The type of romcom that you could watch any day and still feel giddy and cheesy in a good way.

Overall: It was almost a perfect RomCom but I had some issues along the way, although not so serious. The timeline of her face change was quite confusing as it feels like it hadn’t been a month or close to her changing days, though the characters mention it but the events didn’t look it had been a month. The chemistry between the main leads was definitely fire but then there were a few unconvincing times, mostly with Kang Sa Ra and Eun Ho. The meeting the parents(of Eun Ho)scene was my least favorite of her because it was so unlike her character to introduce herself as a ‘chaebol’. It came out unimpressive instead. I was also curious with U-mi’s boyfriend, I wish they had shown us in the last episode. Although the sequence is considered the generic kdrama romcom, I think it was still recommendable and watchable for those who are in need of something light and a touch of melodrama. I quite like how the relationship of Se Gye and Do Jae evolved despite them being immature in love and yet grown individually. Two broken souls met and found their anchors but eventually learned to step back and process all that happened and conveniently worked it out. Not a bad ending but it wasn’t a great ending as well. The last two episodes were quite cute but it was a bit uneventful that changed my overall feeling for the drama. Anyway, I’m just glad for a happy ending.

Gist: Sometimes, we may not know why bad things happen to us or why it feels like we suffer in life nonstop but one day, we will realize, things happen for a reason and why it has to be us and no one else’s.
