friends to lovers !!!

We all love the classic friends to lovers trope. I loved the pining and the unrequited love between the main leads and it was so adorable seeing Eun Soo realise her true feelings for Sunwoo.

I loved little quirks like the tarot card reading was adorable. I would’ve like an ending to the card that Sunwoo got though because we see that it’s no longer attached to Eunwoo’s picture in the studio but don’t get a resolution for it.

The acting in episode one was sorta off to me but I think park Hyung sik and Han so hee were perf for the role !! Music was great as well and so well incorporated. The parts where the music would suddenly cut out were awkward at times but other times I think it worked really well to differentiate the mood and scenes.

Overall, super short to watch because it’s just four episodes but def leaves you feeling so good and happy !!

Waste of time. disgusting behaviour that was normalised and made to be romantic.

I found this in my notes from when i watched this drama sometime last year and decided to make it into a review. I enjoyed the beginning of the show I guess. It was the classic cliche rich boss and helpless woman and they fall in love after they have a meet cute and enemies to lovers etc etc. SPOILER ALERT BTW,,,,,,,,,,,,, BUT THEN, EP10 THIS MAN GETS REVEALED THAT HE FAKED HER WHOLE ASS BONE MARROW THING TO GET MARRIED TO HER AND THEN HE TRAPS HER IN THE HOUSE AND THEN SOMEHOW SHE FORGIVES HIM. i REMMEBER the being trapped in the house thing so distinctly because I was so shocked that he was like this is for your own good babe <33 its all because i love you so much like no stfu... very very very toxic relationship, i tried to watch past it but it completely ruined the show and i couldn't see how much affection he tried to show her after this because of how disgusting the situation was and how they actually ended up marrying. Like how he stalked her for two years prior and then made her believe she was going to die and stuff. It was very machiavellian type beat like the ends justify the means but no, it was just a toxic relationship and she shouldn't have forgiven him because he a psychopath.

Also I gave mans a 7.5 for acting because I guess he made me really hate him and the show after the big reveal so go him for acting his part. Also how does this series have a 7.6 rating when all these reviews are giving out ones. make it make sense.

it's a musical ??

To be honest when I found out that there was a live action movie to kiss him, not me I was so excited. I watched the anime a few years ago and I remember just loving everything about it. I went into the movie sort of already knowing the whole plot but really excited to see what differences or changes they may have made.
However, I did NOT expect to see serinuma break out into song and dance ???? Literally wtf. That was not at all what I expected. The singing and songs were super cringy and I get that she was trying to narrate what she felt but it just wasn't working for me.

I also felt that the acting was really cringe and fake. Especially from the boys, their acting was super stiff and it was just extremely uncomfortable to watch tbh. I think maybe the cuteness and 'kawaii' serves better in anime than in a live action? And also maybe I wouldn't have been as tough of a critic if I had watched this when I watched the anime at the age of like 13.

Overall, the acting was just super cringe and uncomfortable. The breaking out into song also was not a plus and made the whole movie really awkward to watch. I really wish that they had adapted it into a more normal high school romance type live action but I get that serinuma was already quite eccentric in the anime so they just tried to duplicate that energy. I think that it just didn't work this time, especially because it wasn't an anime anymore, it was a live action.
