I almost didn't want to start this due to the lowish MDL ratings and mostly negative comments but as none of the new drama offers kept me hooked from episode 1 and all dropped, this was different and saved me from a current drama slump. The negative reviews/comments are mostly irrelevant to the drama quality and often sound immature and laughable eg FL has obvious PS done (hello, who didn't?), FL is old, always plays the same type, she should play more challenging roles (ma’am, this is a rom-com, not intended for drama awards, and at least she has work offers in a very competitive industry), SML is annoying, ML is boring/is unknown/isn’t lead material, SML looks better as lead, drama is boring, drama is flop and dropped etc etc. I always ask myself, why would one torture oneself and continue watching only to make the same negative comment after each and every episode? For the love of god, please just drop the drama and move on to others that are within your high standards and and let those of us enjoy this without being inundated with an endless cacophony of negativity. for those still on the fence, IGNORE the negative comments, sadly mostly from FL bashers; if you want heavy drama, award winning show, this is not it. But if you want something to watch that is intriguing, relaxing and light hearted after a hard, tedious day - I totally recommend this.
ACTING + STORY so far 10/10 for this genre - FL is perfect for the role, she was able to capture and fully portray that nuanced blend of being an independent, spunky, high-flier woman with poise and credibility whilst subtly hiding the inner emotional turmoil, the vulnerability and the thought-processes of her character shaped mostly on her life experiences from childhood to adulthood based on a few flashbacks/snippets shown. ML’s character is a great contrast and the actor has a very good grasp of his role and how to interpret it. What binds them despite the stark difference in their personalities is their maturity to go beyond their typical selves or job and be considerate of the needs of the other (and others) - and this is what makes this partnership very strong but also fun with all the comedy of adjusting or simply interacting with someone very different. The support characters, including the SML are all well-written and are fulfilling their intended puposes plot-wise and no annoying characters so far so hope this continues. I wanted to just watch the first episode to have a feel for it and wait until its fully completed to binge but i just couldnt so I finished the first 4 episodes in one go like a book that is hard to put down. Unfortunately, I know I will suffer through the week long wait for new episodes - a sacrifice I occasionally do once I find a good drama that interests me. Overall, this drama is intriguing for me and has kept me hooked and wanting more so hope the quality and fun continues till the end.
