another kdrama with characters who have potential to be great but falls into the generic ways
the synopsis and the first few episodes really made me excited. a girl boss who puts up a strong front and shields herself but not letting her emotions out and a sensitive guy who protects himself by keeping people at a distance. would make a great story right? but they just made this into a generic romcom
they fell in love too quickly without any obstacles. it would have been satisfying to see the ml wanting to connect with the fl and him being faced with the obstacle of not able to help her emotionally. these things did happen in the show but not as a heavy point in the plot. the writers did the easiest thing by making her grandma pass away, that just simply gave away a emotional opening. it felt too easy. and they started saying i love you way too quickly for me. it felt like 2 days after they were together they were in love.
even the second couple too, just jumping into marriage??? that too when the guy has so much trauma and ptsd???? bro should understand that a marriage will not wipe his problems away, he should try some therapy. they too had the potential to be great but the writers were lazy. i wonder if this has something to do with the situation in korea, with people not getting married.
the villagers and workers were supposed to be an important part to the story and be the comedic relief but i was not able to connect with them so everything relating to them was boring. i didn't find this series funny at all.
they also slightly over-did his sensitivity. wdym he knows the delivery man is sent by the enemy to swap the bottle because he is sensitive. i had to check whether this was a fantasy series cause they way they were showing his sensitivity u would think he had a superpower to read people's minds.
i don't think romcom dramas are for me. was very interested in this initially but after the couple got together it quickly became boring
