The ROM romanced, the COM comedied & I had FUN!
I genuinely had such a good time with this drama. It wasn’t perfect or groundbreaking, but it gave me exactly what I wanted from a romcom: chemistry, comedy, warmth and characters I actually cared about.Hagi was one of my fave MLs. I loved that he was an ACTUAL working CEO lol, but also such a loser at home. His growth from someone who processes everything alone to slowly learning to let Dareum in was beautifully done. And Kang Hoon, pls do more romcoms!
I also loved Dareum and how the drama portrayed fangirling. It showed the softer side of being a fan—loving your bias from afar, wanting them to be happy and finding joy/community through them. Her friendship with her girls was especially sweet. Just fangirls supporting and loving eo without unnecessary competition.
HagiDareum’s chemistry was everything. The slow burn, yearning, little details he remembered about her and their cute moments had me SAT. I just wish we got more of them actually dating after all that buildup!
My biggest issue was DNX. Since their disbandment is such an important part of Dareum’s journey as a fangirl, I wish the reasons behind it had been explained more clearly. I didn’t need a whole subplot—just enough that I wasn’t still connecting dots at the end.
Honestly, 14 eps would’ve been perfect. Two extra eps could’ve fleshed out DNX, allowed the emotional arcs to breathe and given us more HagiDareum dating era.
Still, 8.5/10. This drama made my Mondays and Tuesdays so much fun, and sometimes that matters more than having a perfect plot. I’m really going to miss this era. 🥹🫶🏾
