My Favorite Bromance of 2021

Ok so...yes, the story isn't super complex. And yes, some of the side character story arcs are beyond superficial. But dudes, this drama was so much fun to watch I didn't care. Obviously, the star of the show is the relationship between the two male leads. They had great bro charisma together and I loved them both as enemies and as allies. Literally anything could have happened in the story and as long as that relationship was still the main plot point I would have loved it. So yes, the story is perfunctory to the drama, but who cares when it's just the platform the comedy rebounds off of.

Several of the side characters were really done as well, like the shady shrink dude and the rookie cop. Mostly the side characters were just random drop-ins, well played across the board, but not a lot of material for most of them to work with. Some of the side characters were pretty random, like the prosecutor turned lawyer and his mother...that was a weird addition, though they played their roles really well.

The drama did give me a scare toward the end when I thought...oh shit, they gonna Mouse me and ima be so pissed. But in the end they sorted everything out in their own fashion. I even cried at the end, which was super silly so I'm going with it wasn't a "story made me sad" cry but more of a "don't go cause you're the best part of this drama" cry.

I should say, I'm generally not a Lee Dong Wook superfan ...Don't egg my house. I mean, little dude is mega pretty, like too pretty with really nice hair...but I can't deal with him in romances at all, like obv the chick is gonna dig him, look at his hair yo. I mean he's had some brooding roles that he plays super well, but I think comedy is where he really stands out. Either that, or I just like comedy more than "Edward Scissorshoulders" type dramas. I definitely liked the dude in this drama, but can we get him to play some variation of the Joker at some point, cause little buddy has a massive mouth just begging for an evil villain treatment.

Anyhow, overall I'd say watch this drama (if you can find it) because it's definitely good for a few hundred laughs without forcing you to think too hard about a detailed plot that doesn't really exist. Watch it like you read a one-and-done comic book, it's great entertainment.
