Unabashedly a romcom

If you are in the mood for a romcom that ticks all the boxes, then this one is for you. And any of you who bemoan the lack of satisfying romcoms these days.

An older cast of actors that weren’t familiar to me, bar one. However, experienced actors bring an ease to a decently written part. And this kdrama has most of the characters well fleshed out. Enough for a romcom at least. The characters stay true to themselves. We start with a very strong FL who sticks to her beliefs all through. Just so for the ML too. I loved their chemistry and when they finally get together, things got even better. Sometimes the story pales once this happens, but not here.
We also get beautiful friendships and a bromance that is better fleshed out than most others I’ve seen recently.

A very enjoyable watch.

Quiet waters run deep

What a satisfying watch. The scenery and settings are beautiful and if you are in the mood for something that gently takes you along but yet has some gut punching moments then you can’t go wrong with this shorter drama. The leads do a believable job of each character’s personality and the past events that shapes their present.
I love the FL because her struggles and what makes her who she is is never forgotten in the writing. She doesn’t suddenly get a personality change as the story enfolds. Everything is there from the start.
The plot especially the setbacks may not be groundbreaking but the story is credible.
Definitely one I would happily rewatch for the scenery, beautiful ending OST and the two leads.

Enjoyable light modern office based cdrama with excellent chemistry of leads

I usually always start her dramas because I find her likeable even if the plot is silly. Sometimes I cannot see it through. But this time I did. The ML is very adept at this type of role. So you know what you’re getting.
And it did keep me engaged enough to stay up late to finish the drama. On balance, more pros than cons. So a nice one to watch if you need a break from heavier dramas.
The pros : two attractive actors, both acting with ease, the plot didn’t have too many twists to keep them apart, when they finally came together, it was glorious for a bit. The other cast were also enjoyable to watch, on the whole. Nice OST, some beautiful views, very nice cinematography at times, nice hair styling for FL (often a pet peeve of mine where FL has the worse hair to indicate her earnestness), nice kisses
The cons: Too many people getting away with bad behaviour, the plot twists in last 5 episodes , many cliches

Workplace drama that is really ticking all the boxes

Love a character that has to overcome prejudice and setbacks in the workplace. She faces those on several fronts but there are people routing for her too. The FL character feels better fleshed out than many other FLs in similar workplace dramas. She is a bit hot headed and unorthodox in her methods. She is also talented, hardworking and an all round decent person. She feels so relatable and I really want her to succeed.
I have really been engrossed by the writing and acting of the story so far. The injustice in certain situations have made my blood boil. I cannot wait to see how she will doggedly carry on working towards her dream job. She’s too talented and exceptional to be held back for long.
