The Man of My Life (2020)

charming but lacking

This webdrama stood out to me because of the fortune telling part. I like themes like that and was excited to see how it goes.
Female lead's father is a fortune teller, and she is told she will meet 3 guys this year. But has to choose wisely as only one of them will make her life better.

I liked the overall feel of this drama, but there were quite few plot holes. We don't even get to know Namjoo that well, she is just someone obssesed with boys, doesn't even seem to have a job or anything. The other male characters have more depth to them, but acting is lacking a bit so it's hard to root for anyone really. The male friend was the most likeable one to me, as the male lead was.. just there. I don't know if he was directed to emote that way, but I just didn't feel much chemistry between him and the female lead.

To me the main highlight of this webdrama was Eunjoo's father. It's easy to overact when your character is so larger than life but the actor really pulled it off. I liked his scenes a lot, he added a lot to the series.

Last episode ended with a cliffhanger, so I guess we might get a second season? It feels off to rate it now, given the story is still not finished yet.
