So about 10 episodes in and its a typical drama for this kind of story (back in time to find a new path) BUT what elevates it is the FL and ML. The chemsitry scenes are fire, I had to rewatch some of them. Beautiful FL and the ML is goddamn gorgeous.
Tian Xi Wei has my full heart, like she is beautiful, acts well with perfect expressions, and is charming. Love this drama, so far different from the cliche stories.
Finally finished and I feel a bit dissapointed. Ji Soo was fine as a pretty person traumatized by a past love. However, I still am not sure if BoD was not better than what she ended up with. Seo In Guk's real life character ignored her/treated her poorly for almost two weeks at the end? Barely responding, barely communicating. They had barely any relationship build up, nor did it make sense that he rather than Seo Kang Jun would be her ideal face\man instead of the cold office colleague who never communciates well. Especially at the end. Not even a "hey I was a bit shocked by what I saw, I need some time to process." If it were me I would understand that kind of petty ghosting to mean the relationship is over.
Like the thing that BoD shows that most women want in a relationship is someone who listens and communicates well (actually listens and remembers and says what they are thinking rather than playing games and letting misunderstandings happen). At the end of the day a TV boyfriend (which BoD seems like it was shading at times) or virtual BF is better than a shitty real life partner. So what did the drama do well? I think mostly to show her get over a past ex. Like that felt real and heart breaking.
Also really loved all the side characters (her best friend is so gorgeous and the virtual best friend from the college dating story is so gorgeous too, she keeps being paired with that fat ugly guy in dramas which sucks,).
Beautiful woman, please STOP pairing her with ugly men (like that fat guy in Boyfriend on Demand). She is Female Lead material and belongs with handsome male leads. Stop in general pairing ugly guys with beautiful women.
So far light and fun. I guess my only issue is that Ji Soo and Seo Kang Jun have such excellent chemistry that it is hard not to ship them. I love Seo In Guk but his character here is kind of boring so far and he and Ji Soo don't have the same chemistry . I like all the side characters and wish they had more fuller arcs the way side characters did in old kdramas.
Liking this already, in the mood for dark fls to make a comeback. Dear X, The Art of Sarah and Queen Mantis were fantastic in terms of FL acting but story or ending didn't do justice. This seems better already in terms of pacing and chemistry.
Kim hye yoon is popular lol thats why she's chosen as lead. Tbh. Jang nara carried that show. People did not care…
I hate how this post and some on other forums have been trying to stir controversy around Hye Yoon. I really likrd NJH but Nara carried the show and Hye Yoon will be great.
