the plot twist didn't save it

reading the synopsis, it states "It is said to be a refreshing romantic comedy about the complicated relationships between three people who are experiencing different emotions."

well.... that was a lie.

starting on a bright note, the movie does try to partake in depicting modern day relationships and how cumbersome the balance between work and life is. however, the sort of comedy aspect of it was ruining the effectiveness of the story. the staff who acts as a cupid should've been funny but i found it redundant.

the cast did what they can and perfectly. the problem lies on the director and the writer. frankly, the romance between bo young and jang hyuk felt forced and unconvincing. to look at it in a different way, perhaps... it was meant to be that way. the romance between the two sparked so fast and says a lot about the ml's character. this guy got on my nerves on how he fails to take responsibility for his actions and instead gets mad because things turned inconvenient for him.... which is realistic.

both are flawed characters and i feel like da eun needed time for herself first before stepping into a new relationship. i do like the jaundice guy better than the ml tho. one thing that was concerning was how he literally looked for her number when he could've just asked someone in the hospital lol.

overall, this is not the worst movie out there. it just tried hard to be realistic but in the end its plot twist defied the movie's potential.
