Midnight Tea, Mild Drama, Maximum Cute...

This drama looks cute on the surface, and to be fair, the production team didn’t cheap out. The sets are warm, the lighting is soft, and the whole thing feels like someone sprinkled a light romance filter over life. The story starts strong too… until the plot decides to wander off like it forgot where it was going. That breakup scene especially felt like the writers pulled it out of a hat. I kept thinking did I miss an episode or did they just decide to stir drama for sport.

The cast carries most of the weight. The FL is sharp, steady, and actually behaves like a grown woman, which is refreshing. The ML has charm but occasionally acts like he’s reading the script for the first time. Their chemistry is there, but not blazing. More like comfortable warm tea instead of fire. The supporting characters do their job but no one steals the spotlight. They’re more like background seasoning, not the main flavour.

As for pacing, some parts fly, some drag, and a few episodes feel like extended fillers. The drama could’ve wrapped itself sooner instead of looping around the same emotional roundabout. Thankfully, the ending doesn’t crash the plane. It lands nicely, ties things up, and leaves you in a decent mood.

Overall, it’s a light, pleasant watch. Not groundbreaking, not rage-inducing, just one of those dramas you watch after a long day when you want something sweet but not too complicated. Fun in parts, frustrating in a few places, but still good enough to finish with a smile and maybe a shrug. 😊
