Rom-coms are the melting pot of cliches and this drama is no exception. Rom-coms are the ones who introduced me to the world of kdrama however I found myself dropping every rom-coms lately regardless of its popularity. I believe unless the writers put a spin on this genre, it will just end up being forgettable.
pros:
1. Hwang Bo Ra. This girl is a gem. Really funny and endearing without even trying. I loved her in THE MIRACLE WE MET and in here as well
2. Chansung and pyo ye-jin . they're the only reason why I watched the show, everything else I skipped. they had much more going on than the leads
cons:
1. the cliches. the cliches. the cliches. Why does every rich chaebol have to be single, good looking, cold, anti social and always the "youngest" to be a CEO? (thank God PSJ is a decent actor because not even his face could save his character)
2. this was just a whole lump of cheese that makes me cringe to death
3. PSJ's obsession with the girl is off-putting TBH. he was on the verge of becoming a stalker
4. no feels. rom-coms usually is accompanied with heartfelt feels that will make you cry whether its the family or friends but this drama only made me feel sleepy
5. this drama is shallow and superficial. no proper character build up
6. PSJ brother. he was supposed to be the antagonist and bring tension to the drama but he's character is not interesting enough
7.the story development is just too fast. Usually the leads will start to fall in love near the end of the series but to do it at the very first episode to me was just the wrong move
Anyone who's a sucker for rom-coms would definitely love this but personally I don't find anything special about this show. Yes there's no need for every drama to have depth and be lightly written instead however with all the amazing dramas written and produced for the last three years it will always going to be compared to the greats. There's no used in relying on the same old tricks anymore, you (the writers especially) gotta give the viewers something new. BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST LIFE did it. I AM NOT A ROBOT did it and these are proofs that rom-coms nowadays can be more than just a one trick pony plotline
