Too bad MDL ratings or critical comments will never move the needle. The studios & streamers only care about actual viewership numbers. And it would seem that having pretty actors has always been more important to drawing viewership than quality storytelling.
I was super-excited to see this. But despite the terrific cast & heartwarming themes—devoting oneself to service to others despite extreme self-sacrifice—it left me feeling kinda empty. I'm not sure why. This isn't going to stick in my mind years from now. 🤷🏻
I think action & superhero dramas get away with even more illogic and flawed use of tropes & clichés than do romcoms. But it seems like romcoms get the most criticism.
first half is a solid 9... second half is a frustrating 7... yikes what happened
My guess is the writer wrote the beginning on her own, but after the deal was signed the studio got involved and told her the first drafts are good enough and to hurry up, already!
Yes, I agree they should have followed-up with the sister. Not addressing her situation is an obvious fail. Especially after they even followed-up with those corny loansharks, in prison.

the last scene with everyone dancing made the whole series worth it, it gave me such a nice feeling, love it!…
It was a nice apology for such a lame production. It's how we know they all felt embarrassed and ashamed for perpetrating a drama based on such a poor script. It was a wink and a nod that this is all pretense and nothing to take seriously: just a time-waste for us and a paycheck for them. No industry awards are expected and none will be given.
I think I miss something big here. Did FL get to see her lil sister in the end?
Nope. FL was about to find her sister in ep14 when she accidentally shared a dynamite kiss with a man (ML) she had known before, who was suffering from amnesia. His memory loss transferred to her, and so she forgot all about her sister who had started out as successful but ended up taking over the FL's fate of working multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet.
Are there any exceptions to this rule? (There must be!) Which K-romcoms are appreciated for their great scripts?
