Frustrating

I totally loved the first few episodes of this. Best friends teaming up to sabotage the rich one's terrible parentally-arranged blind dates by being outrageously undateable: sold! Fast-paced and poking fun at its tropes and clichés: sold! FL with an interesting, fairly unusual job: sold! And there was sismance and nice eye-candy and a good backing cast, and it all worked well for a while: great silly fun in the best silly way. I was actually howling with laughter at several scenes, which doesn't happen that much, but then it's not often you find the hot male lead getting compared to an archaeopteryx. Sadly, it fell off the track after ML decided he was smitten, dropped the pace and the trope-twisting, made too many stops at Cringeland and got a lot less fun. It probably didn't help that FL suddenly started dressing like an ajumma on her way to the fish market (as illustrated in the episode guide photo for #6), which kind of blew the romance for me. It did pick up a little later on, but... ehhh.

It wasn't a bad watch and it's fairly short for a kdrama, so yeah, probably worth a try. But given the shorter length it could have been a lot tighter, and I wish it had all been as good as its promising beginning.
