The Scared and The Stallkey...
This is a not so cautionary tale, not really warning people to not tie other peoples shoe laces or else they may, just may end up getting more or less stalked by a polar bear. The polar bear is of course the sweetest guy ever, kind, loving, caring... And has luscious lips ,dripping of gloss and with the sweet, sweet taste of soju...
The story seams to be there to tell us that the way to heal a broken heart is by constantly attacking it with fluff, persistency, and following the person both online and IRL... some would call that borderline stalking but in this drama they make sure to show us that this is indeed necessary when love at first knot meets fright at first stare.
Our lipgloss polar bear male lead is very lovable, sweet, romantic, kind, funny, helpful, patient... sometimes the guy is even respectful towards others boundaries (rare but it does happen).
Our scared male lead is also pretty decent, he does seem to have some issues and may need to seek help with his need to control everything around him. He does not come off as bubbley and lovable as mr. lipgloss but there is something about him that I do find myself appreciating. I just can not really put my finger on it.
The pacing in this is pretty odd... and it could have used a few more episodes in the middle to really work with the story.
The chemistry between the leads is decent, the gazes, kisses etc. range from dead fish to somekind flambéed fish.
The acting ranges between bad, really bad, ok and could be better, especially with the side characters.
There are not a lot of conflicts in this, the overall feel to it is fluff and stalking a guy out of his shell.... So the few added twists and spice don't really add much to the story but do not take away much either. So its really an easy binge for those moments you just need fluff (as long as you do not dig in to the whole boundaries issue ).
P.S. There are a lot of shots by a pool and those are just gorgeous, I do not really know their purpose but I love em and would like to encourage more dramas to incorporate pool side shots.
Also: There are those who actually do not seek couple/romantic love without beeing scared of it.
