Lucky Romance Episode 1

Bad.

Oh, so bad. I don't even know where to start.

The writing. There's definitely a setup here. But it's all rushed that the characters being introduced simply walk on screen and then a connection to another character, mainly Bo Nui, is quickly established. The humor made me cringe and relied heavily on drama tropes that I don't care for.

Not sure if it's the director, but the acting did not work for me. It feels stiff from all the characters. Bo Nui is clearly the down trodden happy eccentric. The cold genius of a lead, with a minor flaw. It's all so typical and I found the leads stiff in their roles.

This is one of those first episodes that I feel like it's nothing but one queue after another. A quick rush for a setup that I'm not too interested in. I think the big factor is that this episode is in such a rush that it doesn't setup it's characters right. Though I think, for me, it's going to be tough to care about the leads. They're very unlikeable.

It feels strange watching a first episode this bad after Mirror of the Witch, Dear My Friends, and Beautiful Gong Shim knocked them out of the park.
