The chips taste good, but the bag has more air than chips most of the time. But you bought it cuz you're hungry and you like it so you eat it but it just falls short. That is what this drama is.

When I started, I had zero expectations and was just looking to pass the time. At first, I got more than I was looking for and I was intrigued. They had a good cast to start off with. The characters were all solid, introductions good, chemistry good, even with side and supporting characters were good though seemed only minor as compared to the leads who have a nice set up, some wounds in their past, some problems in the present and they were just starting to look for a better future. Cool. Ride begins. Reality show within a drama. Literally that's the story if you've read the synopsis. Things pick up pace, life happens, characters react and adapt, story moves on. Excellent. But now you have expectations. You are attached to the plot and characters and they need to deliver. That's when things fizzled out. Honestly the SFL started to irritate me a bit and the ML and FL became a bit stagnant with their actions and feelings in the middle. And the plot suddenly brings in unnecessary stuff to make up for it.. However, some of the supporting characters, either they oozed out a lot of sweetness or they stayed cranky as ever being a riot.. anyway, they really shine even with limited screen time.

Since they started out so good and honestly everyone's acting was good and I even liked the production (camera? costume? set?) and everything, I just wish they'd done more.

Overall, worth a watch if you're looking for some mild romance and drama.
