Idol Romance NEEDS to stop making love triangles

Kissable Lips had the potential to be great. I did like it, but from a critical perspective, I also agree with other people's opinions that it isn't necessarily amazing. The biggest issue with the show was that it followed the typical Idol Romance model: bad plot and unnecessary love triangles. But for whatever reason, I still liked the show.

The story was criminally undeveloped. And now that I think about it, I barely even remember what the main storyline was despite finishing the show 7 minutes ago. And to add Hae-soo (the other vampire) was essentially useless to the storyline. It even made it worse. What saved the show was the chemistry between Jun-ho and Min-hyun, I was genuinely surprised by how good it was.

The acting was good (or primarily Kim Ji Woong at least) so luckily that aspect of the show wasn't lacking. Yoon Seo Bin was quite good at acting despite my expectations, however, he did overdo the goofy aspect of his character sometimes. Whenever he did so I would die a little inside, but luckily it was only a couple of times in the first few episodes. They were very good in the second half of the show. The music was also great so I have no critiques there.

Overall, it was an OK show, but it was mostly because of the leads and their chemistry. The barely existent storyline and the super underdeveloped love triangle were the downfalls of this web drama. However, if you need to kill time or just can't find a web drama to watch, go for it! I'm sure it'll make your heart flutter.
