Watch with low expectations & ‘Manga Lenses’ on

This drama popped up somewhere... maybe on YouTube? I cannot remember. I always google to do research before I embark on a drama because I don’t believe in wasting time on a lousy drama. I learnt from the reviews that there are pretty polar opinions regarding this drama. Some love it, some hate it.

I think it’s okay if:

-watch on 1.25 speed to (literally) speed things up
-watch with ‘manga lenses’ on because I feel as though I’m watching the manga come alive - it’s like the manga characters are acting the manga plot (if u get what I mean)
-take things lightly and easily
-understand that there are a lot of stereotypes - the man is the domineering and possessive/ protective sort while the woman is the submissive little woman sort and ‘wanting to please’ sort — I guess there are people who dream of such characters
-you like a fast enough drama that’s only 10 episodes at less than 30 minutes per episode

Overall, it’s an okay drama - can watch but if u are looking for something ‘meaty’ and dynamic, this isn’t for u. Nothing really happens other than the two leads loving each other. The guy is pretty cute. I liked him. The girl is meh.
