For those who appreciate Rios PPL
To enjoy this you must appreciate classic Rio PPL as this drama is packed with creative and not so creative ways to incorparate Rio into the scenes... And the drama reminded me a bit of other C-dramas that also had excessive Rio PPL so if you loved those you will probably love this.
The drama itself is packed with cliches combining the plot form the American movie 50first dates and Korean Drama What´s Wrong With Secretary Kim. Entertaining but also draggy and a bit to repetitive at times making me lower the score.
The main couple has lovely chemistry and are fun to watch, the female lead is well composed smart and very lovable. The male lead is an easily melted icicle that is in a pot on a stove where the heat keeps going on and off... Both leads change their minds more often than it rains in Dramaland, which ended up getting on my nerves. However they stayed interesting an smart thru out. The drama.
The side characters are mid annoying to lovable, but do fall in to a bunch of over used cliches + why can´t dramas just let people be single instead of shipping every single character... The parents are also pretty decent, and having one of them being played by Sunny Hao it is to be expected that at leas one mom will be pretty lovable. And the drama does have some nice takes on my beloved clichés
So why the 7,5 and not higher, partly the sound and quality of the subs on the official streaming sight the sound kept going on and off again which of course effected my experience, so if you do find this in a place where everything works you may rate it hinger. However the dubbing was miss matched which I assume will be an issue wherever you watch it. The other part is the draggy parts and a bunch of unnecessary repetitive amnesia stuff. I love my amnesia but it can be too much. Another thing is the screen time that went to the side characters and their stories that just did not captivate me at all.
So there is a lot of good, and if you are in the mood for a smart female lead, a lot of clichés and Rio this is a good place to find it just mind the sound. If you do not enjoy Rio PPL I advise you to watch something else
