Just a romcom <3

This is a rather old drama and I ended up watching this probably because i have watched all recent romcoms that seemed interesting. For this reason alone, i wasn't expecting it to be interesting as such.

Some might say that this plot is rather common, so much so that it might as well be a cliche. But it was well written, even if it was predictable. I know this line of work depends on creativity but there is so much more to it, and new ideas don't come popping for every new drama so I usually just look for the enjoy-ability of the shows rather than trying to nitpick on originality. It was well put together. It was adorable, fluffy and something you can watch during a break- just like some of us like to re-watch old shows even though we know the whole plot.

All characters were enjoyable and no-one too "evil". I particularly dote on characters because they ARE the plot, more so than the contextual story. All characters seemed very sensible and relatable. None of them were just up in the air, they made it make sense and they made it seem like a short vacation trip. I like sensible and sweet characters, all in their own.
All characters have proper personalities, values and people they care about. None of them seem like fill-in or unrealistic pushovers.
The relationships all have their conflicts and then reasonable resolution within appropriate amount of time and with sense.
None of them are portrayed as anywhere near perfect or other-worldly kind-nice-angelic, all of them have their self-esteem and respect themselves.

Romcoms- kissing. Kiss scenes! A bunch of them! This is what I what i live for.

The acting was pretty good for most actors, I found some of them slipping a few times but honestly I'm not here to evaluate their work and rank their performances- it wasn't such that it would really bug you, the slips were okay and easily overlook-able.

Overall, I'd say that the drama isn't intriguing or with suspense but it is just what i look for in my "i need more romcoms I NEED FLUFF". It isn't cringe in the least, at least for me- probably because cringe and adorable often overlap for me. I gave it 9.5 because it serves what it promised- romance and comedy
