Surely super entertaining, though a little bit superficial

This was a fun series to watch. Production value and cast were great. Everything was competent. It’s the type of thing that just feels right when you’re watching cuz there’s nothing that feels out of place. It’s like, perfect. The plot is alright. It’s not something incredible and innovative, but it’s well written. It feels like a perfectly executed recipe.

Now, what I think was missing that could make it more heartfelt and special was depth. It kind of feels hollow. Yes, Jaeyeong is charming, expansive, determinated. Yes, Sangwoo is cold and robotic with a bit of fluff inside of him. But there’s nearly nothing we know about them other than these traits and some information that don’t really add much to their eventual emotional connection. They definitely have specific personalities, but those traits don’t make me immerse into their minds to feel what they’re feeling. Therefore, I don’t understand why Sangwoo is so closed off to the world. I don’t understand what made Jaeyeong fall in love with Sangwoo and vice-versa. Well, I think people fall for any reason, which means it still works, but I think something deeper could bring a bigger emotional punch. The chemistry between the actors is great and electric, which is what seems to count the most for some and it might make up for anything that might be missing in the writing department.
