It's totally a mediocre drama even though it has some redeeming quality
This drama was released during the early 2010s so its in the era where drama was so exaggerated. This type of drama started fading away in the 2016 above, from it's quality to budget. 'I need Romance 3' is the one drama that I'm not a fan of, the story/plot and the characters development so ridiculously made. This are my opinion but maybe because I haven't had any relationship irl even once also that's why i don't understand much, this drama always about the break-up, the relationship of a boyfriend-girlfriend and about the meaning of love and trust. The only thing why I watch this drama was because I'm a fan of Kim So Yeon, she's one of the top 5 most attractive, beautiful and strong actresses I've ever seen, just wow! Her character in the drama definitely not my cup of tea, yes I find her cute and adorable but that's it, the ML ... he the only character that has redeeming quality but others some are average and some so badly written it's confusing. Also I'm a little underwhelming with their using of western formula i.e. alot and lots of kissing scenes, it's not just a normal kiss but boy it's RAW and JUICY like french-kiss style (it's rare to see such kdrama). All the characters who's appeared has alot of their kissing screentime even the FL had kisses 3 guys, a very rare for me to see a FL to not only get to kiss the ML but the 2nd ML and the supporting character. 2nd ML played by Nam Koong Min, one of my fav actor but I don't like how they write his character in this, sometimes he's honest and reasonable guy but most of the time he act like a goddamn cunning fox. But the way this drama indicates the FL personality related too much irl for a person to be like that, which is a good part in the drama. The love interest of the FL's close friend also steals many scenes, his character has little screening time but he did delivered comedy really well. Meanwhile the two employees characters arc bored me, I don't like them, one scene the female employee cheat on her boyfriend but this drama shows it as a comedy?! What kind of logic is that? That's just bad attempt to do it. Before 2015, kdrama really strange but I'm sure at that time was what viewers demand, I've watched couple of rom-com release pre-2015 before watching this and this drama has more ridiculous in it, if it has action or psychological thriller then it even has better quality than the post-2016 kdrama. The remake of this drama in chinese titled MY FATED BOY was vastly better than this, because they have more episodes and more focussing on ML trying his best to get together with the FL who's a matured woman with some minor changes like The parents was there to witness and childhood storyline was explained even better, however 'INR3' is like an ensemble casts, everyone matters, even they didn't fully focus on the ML but instead on the supporting characters too, also FL definitely not mature, she's a workaholic and always criticize unreasonably whenever or whatever she wants and when it comes to emotions, she's like a robot... But all that changes in the very later episodes when ML always interfere in her life.
