Ok first things first, the main actress. Yes, her freaking out really annoyed me. I almost dropped the show entirely because I couldn't see anything sticking around for bc of some really repeatedly negative interactions, but I'd say give it at least 6 episodes and it'll probably hook you in. She freaks out WAY less after that and the romance picks up then. And she's pretty awesome in all the other non-freaking-out aspects of her character.

Everyone's comments about SLS are NO JOKE. This really is a disastrous love square but it of course all works out and isn't frustrating for too long. And you will really fall in love with Siwon.

Last thing - a lot of people said that they dragged the plot on way too long, and I could totally see that. However, I wasn't really here for the plot anyways, I wanted a rom com and I got a rom com. The drag was fine to me bc it just gave me more time with the characters developing and building relationships. At the end I was really happy with how they wrapped up everything for everyone. Also, all the side characters were fun and only added to the overall enjoyment!

Here's my breakdown:
Pros:
- Park Seojoon
- cute ass couple
- good looking cast
- Siwon!!
- positive messages about pursuing your dreams and believing in yourself
- strong female friendship!!!
Cons:
- freaking out from the female lead
- love square
- really negative interactions in the first 6 or so episodes

Again, I wanted a rom com and I got a rom com. So if you're also looking for a rom com, I'd say don't let the cons stop you from She Was Pretty, and stick it out 6 episodes to receive full benefits.
