Fairly predictable and not in a good way
Managed to finish episode 4 and decided I'll drop it there. This drama is pretty trope filled and looks to be very predictable.
ML is obsessively possessive and controlling even before any romantic connection is established. I wouldn't want him as a friend let alone as a partner for life.
SML is pathetically and relentlessly pursuing FL despite her repeatedly telling him they are just friends and will never be anything more. Neither of the men in this drama respect boundaries.
This particular drama seems to be following the script of the man with a trauma that magically is cured by the sunshine girl's appearance in his life. It's a trope that's way overdone and I wish more characters suffering mental health issues would instead head to therapy.
I try to give dramas a fair shot before I drop them, but I don't want to waste my time with this one as it seems too predictable and not engaging enough.
Updated: I did come back and finish the show after it's completed airing and my rating did improve for the show from a 3.5 to a 6.5
I swear it's like they switched writers half way through the series, it finally starts to pick up steam and when the leads FINALLY get close and then do get together, it starts to be funny, have cute moments and I end up laughing a lot. I wish they had that level of energy for the whole series, it really would have elevated it.
I think a lot of people probably dropped the drama well before it had a chance to redeem itself. If I hadn't committed myself to finishing this I would have dropped it again and missed out on some of the funniest things I've ever seen in a modern c-drama. I just wish the amazing scenes weren't so few and very far between.
This drama is one of those that is perfect if you want to watch clips of it on youtube, it will make you laugh but you don't have to wade through the endless hours it took to get to that one or two funny scenes.
ps. When the ML finally starts smiling, he has really cute dimples and his entire character changes for the better like a light switch, the difference was like night and day. I think this was a mis-step by the writer and if it had been a little more gradual and more noticeable it would have made the series MUCH more enjoyable for the audience.
