Thank god it's over

To start with, I did not read the webtoon. The plot is quite different from your typical Korean drama, but like most Korean dramas, it’s very slow. The whole process of push and pull is quite draggy. Gosh, just waiting for Na-bi to finish her sentence and hoping their staring game is over takes up at least 40% of the main leads’ interactions.

Honestly, I find the both characters very awkward together. Yes, it may be because of the script and their personalities, but it just seems to me that they do not have chemistry. Half the time Na Bi is awkward around Jae Eon and I know she is quite capable of being comfortable (like she is with Do Hyuk). Half the time Jae Eon flirts with Na Bi and they don’t really have a lot of actual, sincere conversations with each other. They look good together but they don’t suit each other. In a lot of romance dramas, you’ll find yourself shipping the couples on screen but I can’t seem to do that with this couple.

Also, personally, I do not appreciate how the whole drama focuses so much on the supporting characters. Most of the time, we’re watching 3 other couples. I understand the importance of the supporting cast and how they can elevate the whole story, but too much focus makes it feel like a series of short stories instead of a drama with actual main leads. I prefer seeing the progression of the main characters and how they have shifted from the beginning of the drama.

Overall, this is a pretty different concept. I feel it’s a drama you either love or hate. The music is pretty good, though. Otherwise, it’s a “meh” for me.
