Extremely Sensible Alcoholic (2025)

Aye rolling 12 step I mean episode cringe

The leads are kind of sweet and so are the friendships and people around them but the humour is low, the acting varies and the amount of times I rolled my eyes made me slightly worried they would get stuck there...

The second hand embarrassment in this is enough fill the glasses in a korean after work gathering.
The plot was so predictable one could smell most of the twists from Buchan to Seoul.
And the yelling, oh so much chasing and yelling, and chasing and ylling, gossip and yelling, and gossip, and cliche, and yelling, nd boohoo its all my fault... Im a terrible (insert family status)....

The leads over all character are kind of cool, dare I say bad ass, just not when they interact with their family. The romance between the leads was cringe, oh so cringe... Still loved the couple for some unexplainable reason making me stick with this eye rolling awful drama.. Through our male leads saviour complex, through the monologs....

The second couple feel a bit like a puddle left after Something in the Rain (the drama), They had their moments but I kept getting de ja vu and not in a good way.

No one could read the room and I kept wondering why oh why do they treat grown ups like you (should probably not )treat small kids. That said almost each character had its moment of bad ass, sweet, shiny lovable, but also have their moments of wtf... oh come on get over yourself... Can a person be this stupid and still function as an adult? The only person who was pretty decent to watch from start to finish was probably the married mechanic best friend.

To be honest it felt like a 12 episode anti drinking campaign...one minute, hour, day, week, month at a time people...

So do I recommend this?

NO

Nothing much here :(

It’s your typical mediocre romance cum family cum healing kind of drama. The predictable plot twists towards the last few episodes, really very kdrama.

I like the main theme of controlling your alcohol intake. I’m assuming the writers wanted to make a point here. I do find too much drinking and getting drunk in all these kdramas, it’s like a staple must for every drama. Also, the humour with the family and friends, and all the ladies - not really my thing anymore. Found it tiring and bland.

The chemistry was also dead lol nothing sizzling and won’t give you any butterflies in your stomach. I do like that the FL is a mechanical engineer(?) and she handles cars and works out their problems.

All in all a simple watch at 2.0x speed hahaha. Cdramas are dominating this first half of 2025, so go there instead ;)
