"Feelgood" romance with half-baked script, but decent chemistry and acting.

Theres not much substance to this mini-episode series. It seems promising at first: FL rents ML as a stand-in boyfriend, and ML warns FL not to fall in love with him. We are kept wondering about what mystery the ML holds that makes him want to keep her at arm's length 'for her own good'.

But then instead of getting more interesting or deep, the story veers off course and becomes trivial and loses its original focus, turning into something you might find as the plot to an episode of Saved By The Bell.

The characters are not well developed, but the actors play them well considering they dont have much to work with. The highlight of the show is the absolutely beautiful FL, who I hope has a promising future in c-dramas... and a 2FL that is very charismatic and pretty in her own right as well.

There is decent chemistry among the cast members, and the styling and wardrobe is good enough for me... its just the story and screenwriting that seems so slapdash.

It wasnt horrible... but once youre done watching, it does feel like a waste of time. I would recc this as something to watch, say, in a hospital waiting room or on a train/bus trip where maybe you just want something topical to fend off boredom, and not get too deep into a show.

Fun at best

With only about 6 minutes of actual content per episode it’s a quick afternoon watch.
Sometimes there are very obvious and embarrassing editing mistakes but the camera quality is good and the characters are mostly consistent. They even had some self awareness and made fun of low budget dramas and how women like fictional on paper only.
I think people in high school would enjoy this the most
If you don’t have high expectations you’ll enjoy it!

What A Silly Little Drama!

*My high rating is because of the entertainment factor*

This short drama may not "objectively" good-- it has some obvious bad editing and lightening, the script is not the best and is a bit childish..but hear me out!

It's highly entertaining and enjoyable. It was overly cute and fluffy, and the comedy just worked perfectly for my broken humor.
The story is nothing new, how many fake-boyfriend trope have you seen? Consider this one just another one.

This is not a serious drama, it doesn't take itself seriously and makes sure you know that too. They quite used the low-budget in their favor by making fun of it and using it as a tool for the comedy.

The directing of the drama was for me! I could honestly see what was the director's vision and I like that.

FL is really beautiful, SFL is also gorgeous. ML is handsome and SML is adorable. Probably what made the show overly binge-worthy is the chemistry between all four of them, either as friends or lovers-- they were just cute together.

So overall, this is not for everyone, and I understand that, but for me it was fine. I might rewatch a random episode later to be honest. If you want to watch this, turn your brain off and sit back, take this as a time passer.

Just no…

This show is for children. Episodes are only about 6 minutes long and after watching halfway, I had to call it quits. Everyone in here was acting like they were 8 year olds. So many unnecessary scenes that made no sense as to why grown 28+ year olds would be doing them. The comedy is just corny to the point of cringe. Cringe factor was turned up to 1000. Disappointing because the plot seemed interesting for a quick watch. If you like whiney women, grown adults who act like they are 5, people who do things that make no sense because of inexperience in relationships, then this is the show for you.

Wouldn’t recommend.
