Not the Light Rom-Com I Expected

I had high expectations for this drama because I love both lead actors and I’m a big fan of romcoms. I really enjoyed the first episodes, they were engaging and promising, but around the middle, my interest started to fade. I think the main issue was the shift from a light romcom to a more unsettling, psychological tone. In other contexts, I might have appreciated this change, but here it felt unnecessary. I was hoping for something sweet, comforting, and carefree, like old school romcoms such as Hometown Cha Cha Cha, especially after so many heavy K-dramas released this past year.
That said, putting my unmet expectations aside, I still think this is a good drama overall. The cast is excellent, the actors are both talented and charming, and the story is worth finishing. I did expect a bit more chemistry between the leads, but perhaps the darker subplot affected that emotional connection.
I still recommend giving it a watch!
