They dont want us to drool over the leads, cry over the melodrama, or punch across a social message, the creators have one and only one aim, to make us forget ourselves, the worries surrounding our lives and make us laugh out loud unabashedly.
There is no handshake between the episodes, which is unconventional when it comes to kdrama, and this works entirely because from the frame one, it is made clear to the viewers, that humour is going to be the central content and any other emotional quotients are just about irrelevant and secondary at best.
Its so tough to stand out as a humour serving mini series in kdrama land, because just about every kdrama has a separate comedy track to provide the laughs along with the primary story line, so its easy for a writer to be overwhelmingly inspired and churn out yet another run in the mill cutesy romantic comedy drama.
The actors are seasoned and provide exceptional performances in all the seemingly unrealistic setups designed in the series, the reason i use the word seemingly is because the themes structured around each episode are so close to the present reality although the presentation is unrealistic.
But, all those incredible performances aside, i just cant help but be overawed by the creativity and freshness that was on display. I never expected this series to be this good, just a random suggestion from netflix on a boring weekend, and it has dragged me here to conceive a review.
