As light as you can get

If you're looking for a light, and i mean really light, romcom, this might be it. It delivered well with the cute and comedic scenes and i often felt myself swooning for and laughing with the characters in the moment. However, I think there is a lot of wasted potential due to how plot points were handled. Most conflicts were left with little to no consequence, so the heavy moments (which where acted well by the cast) often felt lacklustre in comparison to the acting. It appeared as if characters where crying their heart out for things that didn't warrant that much emotion. Maybe because the conflicts where rarely fleshed out but more on presented to tease you and then abandoned altogether, often giving a simple or random solution. Considering we had two couples that were made up of fairly interesting characters whose actors had pretty good chemistry, i felt like the series could have been so much more if it had not tried to keep every single conflict so light. Halfway through (or maybe even less than 8 episodes in), I lost interest in the first couple (runner and translator) and was only waiting for the development of the second couple (ceo and painter). Even the friendship between the two main female leads were more interesting for me than the first couple.

Overall though, it wasn't all that bad. If you want anything light, that you can watch without much concern or with little attention, this really is for you.
