What a little happy gem!

I’ve been longing for. Decent romcom for well, a long time! The last 12 months saw a number of good melodramas but not a single good romcom! Let’s face it, we need a room com more than anything when the world is going mad!

The story is light, yet gripping and with the right balance and speed - nothing was overworked and too stretched. They didn’t take the married couple or the office couple, nor the divorced couple too far and too cheesy.

The cast is so good and chemistry between the actors was very good for me offering the right punch of goofy and more serious elements. I’m really impressed by the male lead simply because I know the female lead from Gobling and other dramas and she is really good , but he is new on me as a strong lead. Watch your space, I recon he can deliver much more complex roles!
My only complain would be the role of the office admin - it was a bit too cliche and the character came across too childish to be believable for me.

The first film in a long time which will happily rewatch. More like this one, please!

What were the producers, director& the writers doing?!

I’m only 4 episodes in. However.
The style of writing is repetitive, based on cliches and artificial suspense which throws the viewers as they follow the story and suddenly this unnecessary, over the top and pointless stretch, which feels like time filler.
I’m quite tired of showing women at this bizarre way where they are hopeless or mad..

The one thing that works for this drama is the casting, they probably will carry the annoying writing and the drama will end up being ok, but I wish someone gave them some honest feedback - what were the writers, the producers and the directors thinking?!

It’s difficult to beat how bad this one is!

I’m not sure this will help anyone, but I kind of felt obliged to write as this one seems to be a long one (32 episodes) !!!

The story is boring and inconsistent - the jumps back/front and sideways make following the characters difficult and eventually one gives up. The characters (main and supporting) often seem to rattle on the screen, the story is simply not strong enough (full of cliches!).
Casting - where do I start - maybe from the main female lead - Hwang-Jung-eum seems to be playing the same character over, and over again in all her dramas. I find it boring and often annoying. I didn’t see any chemistry between the characters - the saving grace in the first 4 episodes must be the cartoon artists.

I prefer to re-watch something good than suffer and watch this one...

How could they not get KYK out of his mould?!

I have not much to say - and I’m on ep7 - but I feel the casting&director missed a trick here!

The story is simple, the writer kept the side stories to a minimum. Which is okay if the main story held a bit more weigh - what is killing it for me is the main male character. It’s infuriating that they left KYK to play this two dimensional persona, with no charisma, relatability and non expression ! I just wished I can go and slap him to start acting- he is playing someone depressed and lonely - and I know, those people are hardly two dimensional; character with two impressions
She is a bit better, but not much - I’ve seen her chapter before from her.
The rest of the cast is is ok - the “lower” you go on the pecking order the better then actors actually!
But why no one told him that being tall and handsome is not enough to play a complex character?! Why?!
