Equal amounts Romance and Comedy
Where do I start with this show? Love to Hate you is such a nice break from the other Rom-coms. Granted this has a lot of the cliches (lovers to enemies, contract dating, rich man poor woman), but they don’t force it unnecessarily where it would take away from the plot. It is a fast-paced quick watch and leaves you feeling satisfied.
PLOT:
I found it entertaining as hell. ML has ptsd from his last relationship that doesn’t allow him to have any skinship with woman without getting anxiety. He also has a very negative outlook on women in general due to his childhood and ex girlfriend. FL is a complete badass and also has very negative views on men. She is a strong feminist due to her dad being so sexist and is doesn’t like the double standards her society places on men and women. She dates a lot of lousy guys who are known cheaters to give them a taste of their own medicine.
ACTING/CAST:
The acting is top notch from the whole cast, I’m obsessed with the SML especially. I haven’t seen him since ‘Flower of Evil’ and if anyone’s watched him in that you know how good his acting is. The ML is so attractive and had these cute moments being an asshole one second and then this really shy dork in another. This is also my first time watching anything of his work and he left a great first impression (I really want to see him in an action movie now lol). Same with the FL, this was my first time watching her work and she didn’t disappoint either. You also won’t find the FL and her roommate annoying as they’re not some damsel’s in distress. 10/10 for the whole cast!
ROMANCE:
The leads’ chemistry was incredible. You get this a lot with older actors, but you can tell they felt completely comfortable with one another. The romance scenes were passionate and will have you giggling like a lunatic alone. They do not disappoint in this aspect! I kind of wish the second leads were shown getting to know each other sooner only because of how much I enjoyed their scenes too. His manager is such a heartthrob and had some of the funniest scenes. Her roommate was very relatable and super cute too. 10/10 in this department!
MUSIC:
Honestly I didn’t pay too much attention to this. They didn’t have that one song playing over and over again for every scene which was a nice change from other dramas. There was one I remember slightly being really good. I would say for simply not having an annoying soundtrack that’s over played, 10/10.
OVERALL:
If you’re even hesitating about starting this drama, just do it you won’t regret it. It’s a quick watch with only 10 episodes (I finished it in a day), and is fast-paced because of this. This is truly a rom-com done right and is a nice feel-good binge.
