Overall I liked it, the premise is new for a romcom so it was refreshing
I liked how it started, it depicted a real issue within the dating world and how women are tired to navigate through all these shitty dates and men but halfway through this main plot got sort of pushed to the background and was not given like a “closure” the drama turned to a office romance plot that touched for a bit the part of the virtual dating but left it at that. I thought that Ji Yeon was going to take over this part of the plot but she just had a few minutes in the last episode regarding this which didn’t really have a true conclusion, so wished they hadn’t thrown out the main plot halfway through as it was the most interesting part of the show.
I think a lot of things were left unexplored, would’ve like to see the reaction of the models they used to create these virtual bfs and how it affected their lives irl. Also, the long term effect of this virtual dating world on the lives of women and society, and how this was handled in terms of ethics as well. But guess was way easier to just turn it into an office romcom.
Also, wished Mi Rae and Kyeong Nam should’ve talked more sincerely about how weird it was that she “dated” him in the virtual game, he should’ve been more freaked out about it, like how were they able to build him so exact in this game? And it was so weird how okay it was for her to date a man that looked exactly like her coworker in this game while he was completely unaware, that was really odd.
In conclusion, it’s good just felt like at the start there were a lot of filler scenes and then fell short to explore all the plot lines they created, they could’ve done so much more with this premise. Wouldn’t rewatch it but I think it’s worth the watch!
(And wanted to note that people exaggerated so much on how “bad” Jisoo’s acting was, I actually think she did really well and people just hate to hate atp)
