Enough with the politeness

I enjoyed this show. It is the usual contractual marriage of an odd couple. However, rather than the usual crazy pairing of random strangers, this one is surprisingly well grounded and even have a semblance of logic behind the meet-cute, well, mostly from the ML's perspective.

The plot is solid but uninspired. It runs though the usual gambit of relationship and cohabitation issues. All the problem are handled with maturity and resolved quickly. Of course, there are some issues which are put in the too hard basket like developing feelings for each other. Obviously, being a rom-com those pesky feelings has to be addressed. This is not helped by the politeness and boundary setting between the two. Other than a couple of near misses, their relationship is quite platonic.

This is disappointing because even after they confirmed their feelings for each other near the end of the show, we have very little fan service. It is poor return for shipping the OTP for so long. I honestly would have given it a higher score if we get to see some passion rather than more bonhomie.

Production value is par for the course. Acting is fine and OST is unintrusive.
