Quick and Cute
Beware of Spoiler:
This review took a while to formulate because I wasn't sure how I actually felt about this drama until some time had passed. Like many in the beginning I found the first two or three episodes to be very entertaining and funny, but by the fourth episode the antics had ramped up to make it too slapstick. While I enjoy the comedy aspect of Cinderella stories, where the FL is hiding in plain sight, there's a fine line to the antics that can be played over and over. Thankfully, that didn't go for too long before the ML was in the on the secret, but then he decided to get revenge, and instead of a well-earned conversation about lying and deceit, we get his petty antics for an episode or so. Then the secret goes into overdrive after both ML and FL decide to keep it a secret from everyone who doesn't already know or guess. At that point the drama just stalls and repeats gags again and again. What saves this from being too ridiculous is the actors themselves. Even though you've seen the gag before the actors make you like watching them do it again and again. There's also a lot of great chemistry between the ML and FL, the 2ML and 2FL, as well as the sismance and bromance. The people on the screen make this in enjoyable...not the story. My only real complaint is for a predictable drama, it tried to be unpredictable to its detriment by not going for an established HEA. Instead of having the couple get married so we could get the ultimate payoff, the drama decides to separate them for some useless reason for a year and then have them come back together at the end...so they could hold hands??? I'm not sure why it went in that direction instead of tying things up with a nice bowtie. Anywho, the drama itself was enjoyable and it kept my attention span long enough for me to finish it.
