Muhee getting rejected in 50 different ways yet still refusing to gain any dignity
Okay, so I just finished this drama, and my thoughts haven’t changed much since I wrote this review after watching the first eight episodes.
Kim Seon-ho returning to rom-coms had me seated and I like the actress too. The first few episodes had everything going for it — unique storyline, fun chemistry, interesting setup and beautiful cinematography. Then episode 5 happened and things started to get too boring !
My issue is with Cha Mu-hee continuing to chase after Hojin even after he rejected her several times! I understand she’s supposed to be cute persistent, but at some point it stopped being “cute rom-com chasing” and just became too repetitive to watch. Episode 5 gave me secondhand embarrassment because Ho-jin LITERALLY rejected her saying if she was okay being a rebound. That should’ve been the moment she stepped back and regained some dignity. But no. The very next day she kissed him like nothing happened??
After misunderstanding Ho-jin and dramatically saying goodbye in episode 6, she STILL followed his friend just to get to his house in the next episode. THAT was my final straw. Like at that point I paused the episode because it was frustrating to watch.
Plus I couldn’t understand how Dorami resolved misunderstanding between Muhee and Hojin??It felt more like she held Hojin hostage until he accepted Muhee! But I feel like there was NO REAL MISUNDERSTANDING between them! It’s simply that both of them had complex personalities.
And don’t even get me started on Yongu’s love story with Ji seon!! Like WHAT!! It felt so random and unnecessary. Also, how did Ho-jin magically get over years of feelings after ONE conversation? This man spent half the drama ranting about her, only to move on in five minutes?? Ji seon could’ve been used for making the story complicated and create a real conflict between the main leads but instead she was given useless subplot love story .
Honestly, I watched because I love Kim Seon-ho and I needed to see where this trainwreck goes, but wow… I expected SO much better after those first few episodes and what was even that last episode ???
