The FL ruined it for me
Things I loved
1 The premise. It was exactly what I love. Tropes don't bother me at all and I love particularly the Friends to Lovers trope. I don't mind clichés, I'm looking forward to them and I don't even mind if I can guess the next scene. Yet this disappointed me and didn't give me any of the feelings I was hoping.
Things I liked
1 The ML. He's handsome, and he's not a bad actor. I haven't seen him in any other dramas so my experience is limited, but I liked him here although I feel like he hadn't much to work with. Maybe the role wasn't made for him either. Something was missing.
Things I disliked.
1 The fact that I didn't care for any other character. None.
2 The lack of chemistry. I didn't find they were good together, not as friends not as lovers. I was thinking all the time: That would be great if another actress was with him.
3 The FL character. I didn't hate her, but i's true that you had to try to like her. That's a shame because I'm not someone who dislikes bubbly and cute female characters. I just need them to be also relatable and sympathetic even when they are spoiled. I love spoiled characters by the way. She wasn't that. She was just mean spirited and too abrasive to like.
Things I hated
1 The actress. It's not so much about her character but about how bad an actress she was. She wasn't cute, she wasn't beautiful, she wasn't talented. That resumes the whole thing. You have to have at least something to make me watch. Mostly talent since the beauty is on the eye of the beholder and I can get past it. This role asked for a bubbly or cute or witty actress.. she didn't pull any of it.
