I'm not usually a fan of slapstick comedy and really didn't think I'd like this. I only watched it because I was looking for something light and quick. I've had a lot going on in life and just wanted something noisy and nothing I had to commit too. Basically I went into this not expecting much.
Much to my surprise, I actually really enjoyed it. I usually hate characters that are so dumb and clumsy. And these characters are definitely ridiculous and annoying. But I was drawn into this series unexpectedly and completely mesmerized by the FL and ML. The whole team had a dynamic that would normally annoy me and make me drop a series, but somehow this one worked for me. I ended up binge watching and loving it. It's a new favorite and possibly a rewatch, which is rare for me.
Let me start by saying, I never read the manga, just stumbled upon this drama accidentally. I figured it was an adaptation from a webtoon or such due to the number of episodes and the length of each episode. I only skimmed the description because for some reason japanese drama descriptions seem to explain practically the whole series and I don't like that many spoilers. That being said:
I found myself asking countless times during this series.... "why am I still watching this?" I generally don't like this amount of silliness. I mean, I like goofy and sweet love stores, cliches, etc. But not so extreme.
Reading the description, I thought this would be one of those cliche love stories where the leads have some strange condition. Generally, in those dramas, it's such a small part of the story that it's easily disregarded, or in the very least not really that strange once you get used to it.
This was definitely not one of those dramas. It was very much over the top and so strange. And that's why I was "still watching this". I kept thinking, 'ok I'm really going to quit this drama now'.... But I found myself laughing and was more engaged in this drama than I thought possible. It pulled me in and I couldn't get free, which honestly surprised me.
I've never had a chance to try Korean snacks. That's why I entered, because I think it would be amazing to get a chance to try a variety of Korean snacks.
Just finished watching this. Despite the many negative reviews, I thought this was much better than people are making it out to be. I loved Lee Jong Suk's character so much. It definitely made the drama. But my one criticism is a major spoiler:
I didn't like the main couple. I know they are supposed to have this majorly tragic heart wrenching love..... But I liked the carefree chemistry of the alternative. My first case of second leading lady syndrome, I guess. I think they made a much better couple. It wasn't the fault of the lead actress, I think she did a great job. I just didn't like them together, lol.
Too many dramas to choose from!! I don't think I could choose just one. Top three I think would be "you from another star", "coffee prince", and "the master's sun." Not necessarily in that order.
