Decent storyline with wonderful chemistry

Tbh I was very excited and had huge expectation from it since "FRIENDS TO LOVERS" trope is my fav type. Moreover, im a huge fan of JHI. But I wasn't happy after the way story took turns with ex. However, kept trust in JHI's words and didn't drop. Now Im quite satisfied but not fully. Keeping aside storyline, the chemistry between both leads was very solid and organic. Usually i don't get too much invested in second lead's story and in 90% cases, my priority and loyalty always remain with main leads. But this time the story progression (better than main leads' story) and chemistry of second leads were really good. From ep 11, the pace and buildup of story was good including many heartwarming moments which made me forget the ex fiasco. The transition of two friends to become lovers has been portrayed very beautifully. I liked how they bicker and tease each other in their dating period (exactly like their friendship period) but when they had arguement, they solved it with maturity and proper communication like a proper couple should do. They are childish yet sorted, matured. It made me realize that if SH were in SR ex's place, SR never had fallen in depression or they might not get broken up. SR's ex was a good person. But sometimes two perfect people can't be perfect for each other. They might have tried to give best to their relationship but they weren't good/ made for each other. Finally i convinced myself with this narrative and overall im happy with it. At last but not the least, it's not a ROMCOM. It's a whole package of slow burn romance, comedy, melodrama, feel good, healing drama. Romance part is more in comparison to others, but u hv to wait a little bit to reach that point. But i feel u won't regret it.
