Very Bland

The drama is very plain with zero character development and honestly a non-existent plot. The show just feels dead, it doesn't help that they remove all the background noise so it just feels like voice-overs. While I was watching the first couple of episodes, I compared their lip-movement to the audio because I was so convinced they were just lip-syncing. They'll be sitting in the cafeteria you can see the people in the back talking butt there's zero background noise, like hello? Ever stepped foot to a cafeteria it's LOUD. The audio just makes watching the show feel very eerie.

The plot, does not exist. Don't get me wrong, I love my slice-of-life dramas where there is no villain or huge conflict, but this drama did not do the genre justice. I thought it was interesting that there was a game plot, but I got bored of it real quick. There were so many scenes which I was just like, what is the point? So many scenes which don't add to the plot, though it doesn't exist. If they cut out all of those unnecessary scenes, the drama would be 12 episodes shorter and it would've been a much better drama. The script is alright, could've been so much better if the actors would just do their job properly.

The cast: They're all extremely attractive but they don't really get the job done. The main couple have no chemistry at all. The point of being in a couple is to learn from each other and grow together but that didn't happen at all.

The Male lead was very hard to watch, his voice is so dull. Whether he was happy or sad, he sounded the same. If I was just listening to the audio, I won't be able to differ his emotions at all. He's very, how do I say this... dead. Also very terrible at advice, she FL had an argument with her friend and he's basically like, I'm you're world and you're not allowed to cry for anyone but me. Is that meant to be romantic? That's creepy. At least he's a great kisser, too bad it always looked like he was kissing a wall due to the fact that the FL was always frozen. You'd think she'd get used to it by the 30th episode but nope.

The female lead, I really liked her at first. She's amazing at playing games and is an incredibly smart student. Yet once she joins the company it's like all of it is thrown out the window. She's reduced to nothing in the job, I thought we moved on from the useless female lead trope. So much for girl power. I found her acting endearing at first, but she kept on recycling the same face or set reaction and it got boring of it real fast.,

I was very happy to see that there was a group of female friends who stuck together, but it wasn't good in this drama. They, like the main couple, have ZERO chemistry together, so I wasn't really convinced that they're really friends. Come on, even I can fake a friendship better than you. Usually, when you're in a friend group, you talk to each other about your problems and the friends comfort you and come up with solutions to help you, but that didn't happen which was really disappointing. Both the female and male friend group were meant to be the comedic relief, but the comedy was so childish and I couldn't even smile.

Obviously no rewatch value, I don't want to go through that again and I don't think anyone should either.
