Cute and Lightweight romcom

So, I just finished binge watched it. Here’s my review:



Cast:
I decided to watch this mini series because of the “Male Cast” Teo Yoo and Kim Ji Hun. Both are hot af

The chemistry between the Main Lead seem natural to me, But TEO YOO!!! He’s great at leading the their “lovey dovey” scenes, the way he talks and body language throughout the series are natural. Their overflowing chemistry during their romantic scenes got me screaming and giggling because of how cute it was. Because holy moly they’re really cuteeeee!!

Teo Yoo the ML is always look down on girls due to his past. He thinks that girls are weak, only care about guys money, but then he meet the FL which he have never meet any girls who’s like her, she’s the opposite of how she think of girls are

Kim Ok Vin, I think she’s great for portraying her Independent, Brave, No Bullshit character. the FM hates men and always doubtful of men intention towards women because of how her dad treat her mom (patriarchy). Tbh, I was rooting for her in early episodes when she’s so cool with sleeping around, acting nonchalant to men. Because sleeping around is identically MEN thing, but our FL proof them wrong. She can sleep around without catching any feelings.

But I cringed at first how drastically she changed when she’s finally in a relationship with ML. Love can make you do cringy things you’ve never done before. I’m talking about the aegyo lol, it’s cringed but I feel relate because people know her as a badass woman and she don’t need no man, but god knows that all the independent women out there is actually waiting for a man like the ML.

I don’t have any complain about the Cast acting, although I wish Kim Ji Hun was paired with his co-star from Money Heist (which is not) and a pity, The FL best friend’s cool but I’ve always don’t like her in almost all of her dramas. But I still couldn’t get over when Kim Seon Ho is her love interest in Strongest Delivery Man.


the STORYLINE/PLOT is lightweight

I love the Leads characters and their BFF relationship. It’s a fast-paced drama but towards the end they kinda rush it so they can complete it in 10 eps. Since I love hate to love trope, I’d give this a 8/10 for the hate-to love trope. I feel like if they could make this to 12-16 eps, it’ll be more fun and more in-depth the characters are. I feel like we only see the glimpse of their characters. I mean they could dig deeper of the characters. Because I like the theme “feminist and the patriarchal storyline”

Also the BFF love storyline is unnecessary for me, IMO it’s a bit forced.

BUT I’M QUITE SATISFIED WITH THE DRAMA, I’d rewatch it again for sure when I’m sad or need something to cheer me up when I feel like my love life is empty, or a mess because I feel bit relate with the FM character.
