This is a show, I can say I have a "hate-love relationship", hate and trash the characters but love the story🐻
The characters have lowkey trash mindset on certain topics, but that's precisely what sets this show apart—they're raw and real, unlike the typical sugar-coated leads.
This reminds me of lakorns, except without the constant screaming 🤣 The show is wild, prejudiced, biased, sexist, misogynistic, and what not, but it does provide a somewhat realistic portrayal of human behavior. Specifically, it acknowledges that people with such attitudes exist, both among men and women.
My favorite part was FL's character; she was independent, hardworking, and had a great deal of self-respect for herself. Although I didn't always agree with ML's opinions, he still had endearing qualities, and I appreciated his character growth by the end of the show.
This is the NOT a type of show where you hear comments like "Oh, ML is such a nice person," or "He does so much for her," or "I want someone like him." Instead, it's about learning how people typically behave in the real world and not glorifying or romanticizing it, but rather calling it out for what it is.
Overall, one should watch it for the plot not characters because I was amazed by how non-cliché it was; it unfolded in ways I never expected. The characters do have problematic mindsets, but as I mentioned, it's reflective of how many people are out there. And the ending was satisfying!
Series like no other, short, sharp, simple and sweet...
Such an enjoyable series that sails away from the usual kdrama troupes, constant bickering, revenge seething, dramatic arguing scenes etc. Instead, it's more like most western romantic comedies where characters admit when they are in the wrong, act like mature adults and aren't afraid to expose the more raw topics that most kdrama avoid.
watched this while waiting for the 2nd season of Arthdal Chronicles. funny how that got me here. they were both (FML and ML) in the 1st season but no scene tgt.
I am the type who can't watch dramas with a cheating concept, but oh my god, this drama is epic. Maybe because the comedy element is used perfectly, I can enjoy the things I initially hated.
A quintessentially wonderful, lovely and well-done romantic comedy. I have not seen a rom-com this good in a very long time. The leads have wonderful chemistry once they get over all their personal flaws that make them initially unlikable. People grow and develop, so ignore the haters in the comments, who don't seem to understand how human nature works.

It well worth the watch
