thoughts on introverted boss:
I really don't know how to feel about this drama. I know I enjoyed it, but was left feeling a little meh at the end. It wasn't a bad ending; all my questions were answered and everything fot resolved. But still, for some reason, I feel a bit iffy in my heart, idk it might just be me going insane from being stuck inside all day every day lol.
Storyline
This is my first time watching a drama with this storyline. It's unique, both in the social anxiety aspect as well as the female lead plotting revenge. I loved loved LOVED the heart felt stories, mainly regarding the stuffed panda and Yoo Hee and her kids. I didn't know it would be so melodramatic though. Definitely TW for those sensitive to suicide. It was tough to watch and also a but frustrating. I was reading other posts that talk about how Ji Hye doesn't seem like the type to commit suicide without leaving something behind for her family. She was very family orientated and all around quite happy, so her suicide was very sudden and I wished they touched on it more. Idk if episode 5 was a smart idea or one that revealed everything too soon. It was nice to know what happened, but it became redundant with the flashbacks. I think that, while a good attempt, the writers dealt with social anxiety and suicide quite poorly. There was a lot of forcing oneself to change by the supporting characters at first, which was annoying at times. Depression was also dealt with poorly (sleeping it off, not seeing a therapist???) I did not really care for a lot of the side stories, namely Il Woo and Yi Soo's toxic relationship and Hwan Gi and his dad. I loved the main characters but really hated it that they made Ji Hye like Hwan Gi too. These two buttercups already had to go through so much to be together and that was just the cherry on top. Idk, I ended up skipping some parts or just zoning out in the middle of episodes.
Characters
I loved loved and absolutely adored our main leads. Legit attacking everyone who found Ro Woon annoying, I think she was fabulous all the way through. Quirky, lovable, not afraid to stand up for herself, but understandably going through a rough time. I loved how they talked about how she's always so happy that by the end of the day, she is exhausted. I felt that to be so relatable. The main lead was one I have never seen. I got so much second hand embarrassment watching him in the first few episodes but grew to love him for him. Again, did not care or like most of the other characters, especially Il Woo and Yi Soo and that reporter dude. The only members of Silent Monster I cared for was Yoo Hee and Gyo Ri.
Things I liked!
Bomb dot com ost. So so good. Not a single song I don't like.
Great chemistry! Actual good kiss scenes! Very adorable guitar playing and dancing. Def needed more of this.
The development between Ro Woon and her dad. Very touching.
So yeah, def enjoyable but also difficult to describe how I feel.
