Potential to be so much better

If you like few plot points, enemies to lovers trope and have time to waste, this is for you.
*SPOILERS*
First of all: The story of sunwoo and yugyeom was very nonsensical and didnt make sense at all, especially the pretending to be the boyfriend part. Who in their right mind sees someone taking advantage of a drunk friend and doesn't do anything to save the friend but.... ask that "someone" to be a pretend boyfriend? How stupid is that?? Also sunwoo's actor didn't convey any feelings at all. Till 5 or 6th ep i was still debating whether he liked the girl or not and suddenly there's whiplash and he confesses to a guy. And btw the guy acts like this is a new development when he has already kissed sunwoo twice, both when sunwoo was drunk. That was veryyy icky.

The saving grace was definitely yiwon and ji oh. Not a complicated story, not very well developed either but it was fun to watch and their chemistry was great both as lovers and enemies. They were better than both the couples of the og thai version. If you want to watch , id recommend skipping all scenes on 2nd couple and just watching the story of main leads. This could have been a 7.0 if it was just them.

Production: There were so many bizarre cuts in scenes and editing was very lacking for me. The story didnt flow naturally at all and the 2nd couple got too much screentime we could've gone without.
