Just fluff with a side of drama
Damn this drama was easy to watch! It’s been so long since I’ve gotten to enjoy a fluffy romance!
Before watching this, I had no idea that face blindness was an actual thing so I wasn’t super keen on a make-believe illness. However, by being assured it is a real thing, I was more open-minded whilst watching knowing that Min-ik’s situation could actually happen to someone.
I really liked all of the main characters. Gal-hee - what wouldn’t she do for you!? She was so kind, caring and understanding, and the way she carried around that duffel bag ? BUT, I cannot excuse the whole lying to her boss thing. I mean, one time, okay that’s a joke, but to keep it going? That’s just so much effort and makes the let-down so much worse! Obviously this show had to have some ‘drama’ and that was going to be part of it, and the audience is made to question her morals. Thankfully it didn’t take too long for the dust to settle and for Min-ik to trust her again so we got to enjoy some good fluff towards the end.
Having understood the realistic situation of face-blindness, I really felt for Min-ik’s character in the moment when he realised what Gal-hee had done. In the beginning I wasn’t entirely sure if I liked how he treated Gal-hee/Veronica Park. I understand that one was in a working relationship and the other was personal, but something didn’t sit quite right, and it made me question how/why Gal-hee could become attracted to Min-ik knowing just how differently he could treat two women depending on his relationship with them.
Even if Min-ik wasn’t face blind, I could see how he might get confused. At first glance Gal-hee really does look different.
I quite liked Veronica Park’s character - normally I would get annoyed and irritated by a character like hers but she was just so ridiculously funny and also kind of cute in a way. I feel like her relationship with Dae-ju humbled her a bit, and definitely towards the end she did feel humbled exclaiming that she felt like Gal-hee’s minion ?
The driver - omg, in the last episode I felt so bad for him! ? The whole situation with Eul-wang and her secret organisation she created was so suss, but once brought to light made sense. It’s a controversial topic though - a bit like Robin Hood - stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
The comedic relief in this drama was far more than I was expecting. There were so many funny moments that made me LOL e.g. when Min-ik was putting on/taking off the compression stockings ?
One of my favourite swoon moments was when Min-ik and Gal-hee were on the beach and he got the call that he wasn’t being dismissed and she hugged him, and then HE pulled her back in for a hug - first time I swooned!
There is so much more I could say about this drama!
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to switch off and enjoy some light-hearted fluffiness!
