20% fun, 80% cliche
I think this is one of the most over-hyped dramas of 2022. It was fun at the beginning, I really enjoyed the cute scenes, the fast pace, the narration... but after ep 6, it became just another one of those cliche kdramas that I absolutely love to avoid. The humour died and so did the quality of narration.
I'm a little surprised that people love such cliche dramas even in 2022. I hated What's Wrong with Secretary Kim - it showed office relationships in a very bad light, had unnecessary childhood trauma tropes, the male lead was a jerk not charming and the poor FL was forced to stay and do a job that she didn't want to do. ABP is not this bad, but very much on the borderline of some of these misogynistic tropes.
The FL was cast perfectly and she easily steals the show. The second couple is adorable and I took to them far more than the first couple.
Overall, its a fun, easy watch but go in with the expectations of an 8.2 rated show rather than an 8.8 rated show!
