If you can turn off your brain completely, the kiss scenes and hot guys are delightful! :D
This is one of those series with a pretty aesthetic including suits and hot guys with decent chemistry that falls apart in literally every other aspect. I've come to love the ChapxGreen pairing and really hope to see them in something with a decent script in future. If you watch up to ep 6 on double speed and just enjoy the NC scenes after- I'd say that is the best way to watch this series and you'll have a much more enjoyable experience. ChapxGreen are clearly comfortable kissing each other- so those scenes are really the best thing to come out of this series.
Story: There basically is no story- many plot choices are just genuinely bad writing and worse, are just plain stupid. E.g. the plot contrivance to get Chap to Green's house being that originally Chap hit his staff member over the head with a heavy object (the ethics I can't)- so his staff member did the same back to him to have him pass out so he could be moved there. There could have been so many ways to get Chap to Green's place without committing violent, unacceptable acts? Literally laughable script writing that only makes Chap's character looks even more unsympathetic and unlikeable for half the episodes.
Green's character also makes little to no sense (why not just tell the girl you've been leading on for years that you don't like her? She didn't even end up being a b*tch about it- she literally was just like hey wish you told me earlier so we both didn't waste our time.) You could tell that was just a lazy plot device so they could have an easily solvable conflict to finish with.
Acting/Cast: Green was incredible in Something in my Room. Chap was decent in Lovely Writer. But both give less impressive performances in this. Green is still decent, but Chap especially has a lack of expression and dead eyes in a lot of scenes. I think this is more due to the horrible script and possibly the direction since they really didn't have much to work with here. Honestly watching some candid clips of these two outside of their acting gigs- they genuinely have chemistry and are so cute and comfortable with each other. I wish we got to see more of that vibe in this.
Music was good, decent enough.
Rewatch value is zero + 2stars only for the kissing scenes.
