Boring (Plot? What plot?)

I was really excited to watch this drama because of the plot and Park Shin Hye, but after watching 11 episodes, I wish I would've dropped it sooner. I'm quite disappointed in this show; I really thought I would like it, and tried to finish it, hoping it would get better, but it never did.

Despite almost finishing the drama, Go Dok Mi had zero character development and was incredibly frustrating. The love interests annoying (Enrique) and borderline stalker-ish (Oh Jin Rak). There’s no chemistry whatsoever with either of the main leads, so the romance didn’t interest me from the start.

The pacing is slow, the plot unclear, and the characters are bland and flat. Every episode seems to drag on, and despite the amount of characters and scenes, nothing seems to happen. I thought it would be a comedy, but it honestly doesn't seem that way. The plot is all over the place, switching from story to story, and so many different couples, all while Go Dok Mi does nothing except mope around and avoid people--I get it, anxiety is no joke, but seriously? The same attitude for 11 episodes? It gets old really quickly. The only decent part about this drama is the casting, and even then their characters are terrible (not the actors’ fault).

Overall, if you're looking for an entertaining romcom to watch, this might not be the one for you. It certainly wasn’t for me.

PS. I tried to finish the drama via recaps, but even then it was so so boring and slow.
