Hilarious Drama Turned Train Wreck

Fantastic start—super funny, outstanding acting, great chemistry, but the latter episodes turned twisted and bizarre. Just straight up weird. Mental illness was treated like a joke—extremely poor, irresponsible, and insensitive writing. The drama features the most bizarre sibling relationship I’ve ever seen. I could have really loved this drama if it hadn’t turned so dark. It left me with a hollow sadness and disappointment that I was still trying to process after it was over, like “What the heck just happened?!”

The ridiculously handsome ML really wowed me with his acting though. He did the comedy bits, slapstick, and exaggerated indignation surprisingly well. And, the kiss scenes did not disappoint at all! Man, oh man! He’s gooood. This insanely handsome man is my new crush . He was an actor I had dismissed previously, but I will definitely keep my eye out for his new projects now.

I feel the ML’s extreme good looks, his almost comic-book chiseled jaw, superhero good looks, kind of work against him, making him look cold and unlikeable. But, this drama “Perfect Mismatch” showcased his warmth very well. When he smiled big, with dimple and teeth showing, he became so down-to-earth and real and endearing. I’d love for Directors and future scripts to bring that approachableness out more so we can appreciate this actor more.

The FL does cute and adorable flawlessly. Her exaggerated country-bumpkin style turned track-suit queen was unappealing, but, then again, that was the point. Mr. Perfect liked her regardless of her appearance. They seemed like a mismatch, but in fact, they were perfect together.

The drama was disturbing, but the happy parts made me really happy. I smiled so much when the ML smiled. This actor seemed to genuinely like his cute and charming leading lady. His smiles seemed so real with her. And again, the kisses—Wow! I definitely revisit certain scenes over and over again and will rewatch the whole drama again one day.
