Romantics Anonymous

Same Story. Different Feeling.

I almost never write reviews but I couldn't stand the slander this series is receiving.

Firstly, it is predictable. We all must have watched a similar story in this language or another, but this was different in the way the actors portrayed it. The dialogue was fresh and simple. Every episode made me think deeply about my life.

I saw a comment someone wrote about it not being relatable. And I think our problem is trying to find ourself in every story. Making us assume we are the centre of the world. Meanwhile, we haven't lived every struggle or every fantasy, so what makes us think we can relate to every story?

This story is light-hearted, but not in a flippant way. It will make you think.

Maybe we all need therapy

I have a lot of thoughts about this drama. First off, I tuned in for Han Hyo-joo, and I absolutely loved her character. The story focuses on adults who are struggling with personal issues but are actively working to heal through therapy. As an adult with my own flaws and insecurities, that premise drew me in. The drama is very character-driven, which is my favourite kind.
I also appreciated how the chocolate business was woven into the story. It wasn’t just a backdrop and it didn't overtake the story; it felt naturally connected to the characters’ growth and emotions.

However, I did feel that the writers forgot some of the character quirks they introduced early on — especially with the male lead. Initially, he seemed overly dramatic, and by the end, almost too subdued. The inconsistency made his character arc a bit confusing.

The second lead couple’s storyline also dragged on. Their dynamic felt toxic at times, and I eventually stopped caring about their journey. The supporting cast outside of the main circle was underdeveloped, which weakened the emotional impact of certain scenes. It was hard to feel connected when I barely knew who those characters were.

Despite these flaws, the overall plot was okay and refreshingly uncomplicated. The cast delivered strong performances, even if the writing sometimes glossed over how serious these issues truly were or suddenly made them make stupid decisions lol.

If you’re looking for a drama where two adults fall in love in a tender — if somewhat dramatic — way, Romantics Anonymous is worth your time. You probably won’t regret watching it.
