Zany, delightful drama -Ep. 9-12 are heavier. 1year time skip till happy ending
The Good:
This is a zany, delightful drama where issues are (for the most part) quickly resolved . [Ep.1-9]
The male lead serves up some seriously swoon worthy, mesmerizing kisses. The best I've ever seen in a drama or movie. Also the tenderness he emoted throughout the drama was off the charts.
The not so Good:
I'm not overly fond of the female lead's visuals, but I overlooked it as the drama progressed.
I got as far as Ep.9 and was feeling it was a 10/10 drama but then things got complicated & it became heavy, with all of the main characters having issues at the same time.
The relationships are all "unbalanced" in what each person of each couple contributes to the relationship. It's yet another drama where the man is the caretaker, the one with life skills (cooking, cleaning) & the one making the sacrifices & Compromises . For the most part, the women are demanding & selfish & rather emotionally uninvested (compared to the men).
The dog was SO, so ugly & sounded sick when it barked
The ending :
WAS happy, BUT it was modern (1 year time skip to prove that the woman doesn't "Need" the man, he's just the cherry on top of the sundae of her life .)
****Spoilers of things that made me like it less*****
1) Female leads attitude to male lead just doesn't seem all that invested.
2) the leads sleep together & yet she still isn't all the broken up about leaving him. & afterwards :
3) Male lead is doing his best not to cling to her too hard as she is leaving & he's trying to deal with that but she gets all "handsy" with him & suggests they " hit the sack", without any thought of how much harder it will be for him when she leaves. It felt both cruel & also weirdly like she was offering him "consolation".
4) the female lead takes the dog with her when she goes away ! She could have left him the dog at least since she had her family to emotionally support her.
5)The end felt like a modern mess to me- male lead has to conceed to Her decision if he wants her (let her go without strings attached & wait for her to want him) Thankfully, he knew that the best way to get a woman to come to you is to provoke her to anger-
What is with the female lead !? The male lead is a CEO & can afford to marry & start a family without her needing to work-it's not like her job pays extremely well ! But she's sending him mixed signals with & treating him as if he's a poor guy & not worth making compromises for. So even at the end he is waiting to see what SHE will decide about changing her life in anyway to be with him. (Where his company is located is non negotiable ).
So as wonderful as this was for the most part, it fell short of perfect because they insisted on making
6) The females in the drama rule : their preferences, thier aspirations are the only ones that matter. While the men are thinking "we" the women are thinking: "me" .
7) it was stupid to make the smartest kid (nephew)suddenly the 2nd smartest as he did well before without really trying, so it made no sense. If he fell behind it was because he was distressed/distracted by his girlfriend being mad & his heart wasn't in studying, but again, they had made a point of it being known that he got straight A's without even trying hard ,but all the females here have to be superior to the men, so.....
Yes I will rewatch this, but the feminist taint really makes me want to find a way to edit the ending so the female lead is at least willing to compromise reasonably
