I wanted more of Jun and Jun

The headline is so true. I am going to explain this in the review, but I really wanted more of them. We got so much of everyone else and everything that was happening around them that we did not get any of them, which was annoying. Anyway. Let me average out all of the episodes and then write this, and bam. I just spent longer than I should have looking for episode 5 when I didn't even review it. That's why I can't find it. I am dumb. The average was 8.071 out of 10, so yeah. That is 8 stars out of 10, rounded down. I am not checking my grammar again because I am lazy.

The childhood friends to lovers trope smashed with the boss and employee trope was actually a really interesting concept. I just wish they had executed it slightly better. It would have been better if they didn't add that random ass love square, because that shit was getting on my nerves towards the end. I hate when shows do that and they all have a crush on one person. Bro, there are many more fish in the sea; go for someone else, bro. They could have made it longer and had more plot in it, not just filler content.

There was a lot of teasing throughout the whole thing, and I think that was fun and cute because it added some sexuality and some romance to a boring office setting. At least they got the boring office setting part right. I was actually pretty excited for this, but the execution wasn't good, and my happiness slowly went away, so I stopped watching for a while. But then I remembered that this is short as hell and I should just get it out of the way now. So that's what I did.

Again, they had some more cute lovey-dovey vibes, which is fun and cute at first, but when they are doing it for seven damn episodes, shit gets on everyone's nerves. One thing that this show did right was that it didn't cringe. I think that nothing was really cringeworthy and everything was very just and mature, but in the speaking way and the plot way, not the sex way.

Then I found out about our weird square-triangle thing. The coworkers who were picking on our baby were so fucking annoying that someone needed to shut them up. They were being so rude for no damn reason. I was falling asleep during a lot of this because it was repetitive and nothing was really happening.

I watched episode 5 with my eyes closed because I was so tired. Choi Jun—I think his name is, and I refuse to check because I am lazy—had a fiance, and that was such a random bomb that was dropped out of nowhere. Lee Jun was getting annoying for not letting him explain himself; we could have had more cute moments if he let his man fucking speak. Holy shit. The other two main characters, whose names I don't remember, are Simon and something with an h. Yeah, they had something going on in the past for sure because of the way they were so fucking awkward around each other. Good for them, I guess.

Then we finally started to see more of June, which I was really happy for. Good for them, we are finally seeing more of the Jun's, because this whole show we haven't even seen that much plot between the two of them and instead other people. Good for them. I hate persistence in anything but good for Choi Jun, I think his name is. I am glad Lee Jun confessed his feelings to the shits, because he was definitely making him jealous at the restaurant or whatever he was doing. They had some jealousy to act like they had been going strong this whole time and he had the right to be jealous or something like that.

Then they finally started turning a new leaf, and that teasing started to become real feelings, and they started focusing on Jun and not everything around them. And Choi Jun is so boyfriend material. Way better than that Simon guy, because Choi Jun doesn't have an annoying ass temper and dwell on the past (everyone in this dwells on the past, never mind). And I am so glad that they pulled through toward the end because, my god, this was getting boring as fuck.

I enjoyed. If only we got more of it, and not just in the last episode. I'm glad they finally warmed up to each other and pulled their shit together for a good final episode. So yeah, good for them. They just wanted more of Jun and Jun in this show, not the office place, the other two bozos, or the love square that was one-sided for two people. And yeah. I wouldn't recommend this. It was boring, and they only pulled through in the last episode, so it was a waste of the first 7 episodes. Watch it if you want; I don't care. That's it from me, though. Okay bye!
