I Am Not Sure What I Just Watched...
This series isn't just a retelling of "My ID is Gangnam Beauty." It took a similar concept but ended up feeling like a disappointing rendition.
One of the major letdowns is the lack of communication between the main characters, Liu and Guy. Their interactions come off as stiff and devoid of any meaningful dialogue. Instead of addressing their issues directly, they rely on misunderstandings and assumptions, which frustrated me as a viewer. It's hard to understand why they even developed feelings for each other.
Liu's constant need for Faye's approval and her baseless animosity towards Guy could have been easily resolved through open communication. However, she chooses to fall into a repetitive pattern of seeking validation from Faye while holding onto unfounded resentment towards Guy, all because this man did not like her perfume scent.
If you're considering watching this series, I'd recommend saving yourself the trouble. I've seen the Korean version, and it's far better.
