WHITEWASHED, SHALLOW, overly simple, meaningless. Not a kdrama but Kwood. No com. Almost no rom
This is such a shallow and bland series. It is not a kdrama, but Kwood. It is labeled as rom com but there is NO com and honestly there is no rom either, except a little bit for second leads. First leads are two very shallow cowards. ML behaves like a robot, and FL behaves like a middle school teenager
The drama is whitewashed sterile neutral so that it does not piss off any audience and it is easy to understand even for dummies.
In other words, it is completely watered down so that no flavor is left.
Sure, it is "safe" and "politically correct" but it is BLAND BLAND BLAND BORING BORING BORING
There is almost no meaningful deep dialogues that change people and resolve issues and problems. Two unhealed adults are so isolated in their own little world that they seem like they are floating in outer space. The sequence of gray scenes, gray scenery, stationary and unexpressive actors. Very Western, very Hwood, very * S H A L L O W * and thus BORING TO DEATH.
Like we are watching a senior home where people are deaf and demented so they never interact, move, express their feelings, talk to each other. THERE IS ALMOST NO DEEP TALKING WITH EACH OTHER nor deep self reflection.
We never see ML reflecting and changing. We see FL doing stupid things. Neither one communicaates and both keep secrets. .
It is totally lacking the sophistication, depth, humor, satire, jestering, social commentary, community work, self introspection, character growth, deep dialogues, and community growth that is the signature of all real kdramas.
The poker faced , mostly stationary ML and his unwavering dedication to FL is just BORING TO DEATH, and the immature flakey FL is just disgusting sexism - of all things that are characteristic of kdramas, only that one rare fault of kdramas, the sexist portrayal of an immature loser women, was kept.
I switched to watch old kdramas such as It's OK That's Love. Once I finish watching iconic old kdramas I havent seen yet, there might be nothing left to watch.
