Saved by the unique lead chemistry
This drama started with aim of being romance suspense thriller which deals with psychological issues. 1st few episodes also felt like that. When I watched this I enjoyed this because I needed a relaxed romance free of evil mother/father , terminal illness, noble idiocy of separation, creepy 2nd leads etc. romance in this shows ticked all the boxes and the leads had great dynamics.. they are very likable.
But, after taking closer look it feels like the creators ditched every other genre except romance as the show progressed. Like
1. We have female lead, who is pretty f'ed up as she dates only trash guys and been with many men over the years. Reason given is that her father used bit up their mother ( the crazy father trope , very common) . So she has tendancy to like trash lunatics and she tries to fix them by being in a relationship. Very interesting and broken gray character! R8?.
Well no, she seems like pretty decent and likable person through the show. There is no growth. Her questionable characteristics are never explored
2. The ML has a better character arc, as in he starts somewhere and ends somewhere else. Basically he has change or growth. Though the change is not that impactful. Basically he starts value his own life a little more by the end of the show. Similar to fl , we are never exposed to non existent past love lives.. it was just mentioned that he had an ex apart from the " ex wife" which is quickly shut down by the fl's declaration that she dated 100 men . Whatever that means.
That what drives me crazy. They are not pure to act like high schoolers in love. And also the 1st love childhood connection!. Why??.. that just makes the guy look like a dork
3. One of the most wasted characters are the eun hu something girl , bestie of fl. 10 years of dating ended by noble idiocy.. I thought they will give a better story than " your brother has been in love with me all along , so I fucked him" arc.. so full of shit.
4. Most wasted part is definitely the thriller part. I just couldn't give a shit about the thriller part by the end.
So, if you want a romance which is not full of angst and charming, definitely give it a try. It also has good comedy.
