Romcom done right

First of all, the one thing I absolutely HATED about this Drama: The setup. The disappearing twin and the agent literally KIDNAPPING the Fl was just aaaargh! For the duration of the Drama, I FF'd the agent, couldn't stand his character.

In the end though, the positives outweighed the negatives. Romcom is a portmanteau of "romance" and "comedy", and this Drama delivered both in spades. So many times I was laughing out loud, and the romance between the teo leads was one of the best I've seen. As CDramas become ever more skinship-averse, this one was a rare treat, with no shortage of osculation.

I also loved the dialog. CDramas tend to be plagued with toxic patronsing chauvinism, but both the ML and SML were given great dialog that they backed up with action.

Some reviewers have complained about the separation of the OTP but that was not so much of an issue for me because it happened so VERY late in the Drama. We were not left wading through multiple episodes of misery before a platonic reunion. I found the ending perfect, especially since the final frames were the opening frames.
