So Her Private life was a drama that I had been waiting for ever since I heard Park Min Young had a new drama to binge watch and I was excited. And when I heard Kim Jae Wook would be the main lead oh boy was I excited. The whole idea of the drama is nice. A highly professional art curator is actually an ultimate idol fangirl and a artist who cant paint anymore. You would think these two would help each other and heal each other which to be fair to the writers it tries to do. But its more about how many topics i could get into this series. For example one of the artists their trying to meet actually lives in a cabin in the woods when its raining ( wow isn't that original ) and they have to stay in the same room.

The show was obviously supposed to be TvN's next big hit since they did a lot of advertising for this drama. It was supposed to be like another ''Whats Wrong with Secretary Kim?'' type drama but it couldn't achieve it since it just didn't have the rewatch value that ''Whats Wrong with Secretary Kim?'' had. The script felt like it was meant to attract the younger generation more or even foreign viewers and as some said a little too many cliches. The lost childhood memory that seems to be popular in TvNs dramas were also there but this time didn't feel welcome in the drama. The main male lead is already an orphan and then the female lead has some connection feels uncomfortable.

The Characters also had some faults in the drama such as the second male lead is so badly written. The female lead had no interesting characteristics other than her being a fangirl. The real fault with the characters is their honestly so perfect especially the main leads even for a drama they're honestly unusually perfect. They never have any reaction to anything and get over things within a day. The male lead and female lead never fight and are okay with anything the other one does ( even when the male lead messes up ). The Second leads are all immature and have no reason to why they're doing everything. The sub stories are uninteresting and predictable.

Honestly I did enjoy the drama though I have not said many good things about it. Its fun at first but you do just want to finish and get it out of the way rather than anything. The main problem with this drama is rather than the fact of the story its more about the lazy scriptwriting and adding twists at the wrong time. I might've given it 9 if not for the last episode that just has so much in it. And also the fact that Park Min Young never shows her potential for art. It would've been a nice twist if you saw that Park min Young was actually a better artist than Kim Jae Wook but doesn't like to show her art to anyone. Something that makes her an artist not a curator. However it is enjoyable for the most part and not the worst drama ever.
