An entertaining conclusion to the series
I was skeptical going into this season even though I read the webtoon because I didn't know how they would interpret it for the small screen and if the main leads will have good chemistry. Safe to say that some of my expectations were met while some were left in the dust.
Let's start with the positives:
1. The humor- I'm a very dry person but even I laughed out loud by the comedy. The jokes and humor landed for me and is the main reason I enjoyed this show
2. The cell animation and dialogue- I really enjoyed the cells and their dialogue within themselves. They were written very well and were distinct.
3. The doubts in love- One thing I appreciated a lot in this season was the doubts before the start of a relationship. Even starting a relationship can be confusing and emotionally draining so I'm glad they touched on this subject.
4. Perfect portrayal of introverts- As a fellow extreme introvert, I was happy by how well they explained the functioning of an introvert. All my life, I've been misunderstood and misrepresented but I was very happy by how they showed Soon Rok's inner workings
Lets move onto the negatives:
1. The forced plot points- Since they show the inner workings of each individual, it just easy to sense when a plot point doesn't make sense. Some scenes felt really forced, like the writer was pushing their ideas onto us instead of it flowing naturally in the story.
2. The chemistry- This is subjective but I couldn't feel the chemistry between the leads. They were just work colleagues who had a slightly awkward work dynamic but then suddenly one of the starts liking the other. So I couldn't feel their emotional connection or attraction they felt for each other
3. The inconsistency in writing- I get that a person can change but it doesn't happen overnight and definitely not drastically. It just felt like lazy writing, like the writer couldn't bother to connect them so they wrote it in for the sake of it.
4. The acting- Again this is subjective, but I feel like the main lead's acting could've been better or we got a different male lead. He had the most complicated character in this season but his portrayal of his different personas felt too much like they were two different people and not just a single person.
Overall, I had a good time and that's whats important. Some parts could've been much better but I still enjoyed myself. 7/10 stars.
