Let's Eat Something, Anna (2017)

If you care about logic and the pace of events in a drama, DON'T WATCH

If you feel like watching sth fluffy, cute and really short, this drama is a good pick, HOWEVER you need to throw every ounce of logic out of your mind before you start. Usually when I'm in to watch some nonsense romance, I don't expect much, but this one had just too much nonsense going on, had me saying WTF every minute!
The story itself is not bad, it's the execution that failed.

It started off with Anna's backstory, they used one of my most hated clichés about her ex (one that's really frustrating for me), but I instantly fell in love with Anna (I loved both the actress and the character), even though her story was all summed up it didn't feel rushed or bad, and it was the ONLY logical event in the whole series, the job she had fits her mental state and health.
Now the male lead, god he was annoying! How did her get her number and why didn't she block him still baffles me. My impression of his character was so bad that I didn't care about him at all and his character only kept getting worse for me: from an illogical weird backstory, to how it was executed, to him creating trauma and torturing himself (not psychically but mentally) , everything was boring and stupid, I skipped his scenes. What's worse is that it was a story that didn't need much explanation or time, but they dragged it and made it the center of the series, the time invested in his backstory could go to the development of the plot, instead of leaving us with the most rushed love story in Kdrama land. His story summary is a guy with horrible low self-esteem, now good-looking is arrogant and cringe, some of his lines in the drama had me almost dropping the series but kept watching for Anna. He got serious issues with women and confidence. The beauty privilege he had was the worst of all, he invades her personal space, yet it was seen as okay and an honor for her!!

Now back to Anna, no matter how much I loved her, her healing process was the most illogical plot of all, too rushed even for a short series, HOW in the world did she just go out after 2 years with all that comfort and confidence!!!! She was interacting with people as if it was an everyday thing for her, just because she wore a pretty dress and had some makeup on. She wanted to change and be happy, for others instead of herself, that made me sad.
Their love story was really rushed yet acceptable, I hope that now the ML can stop that self torturing vicious cycle and live happily with Anna.
