A contract-marriage rom-com that speedran every cliché and still f****ded-up at by ending.
✨ THE GOOD (LET’S BE FAIR):
The leads are likable. Like… genuinely. They carry hard.
The chemistry works, the soundtrack slaps in most parts , and for brief moments you think,
“Okay wait… this might actualy cook.”
It wants to be your comfort rom-com. You can feel the intention.
🙄 THE “ROM-COM ANY% SPEEDRUN” PACKAGE:
Fake marriage ✔
Shitty first relationship ✔
Prince-savior ML with tragic backstory ✔
Mandatory breakup pretending to be a plot twist ✔
All delivered at lightning speed especilly when it shouldn't , like the show was late for something.
🤦 THE “WHY DOES THIS FEEL SO RUSHED TO FINISH WHILE TAKING LONG FOR NO REASON MIDWAY?” ENERGY:
it screams “We planned 16 episodes and got cut to 12 mid-shoot. but f**k it we're gonna keep the same pace till the very end”
Moments barely land before the next trope kicks the door in.
Emotions build… then immediately get fast-forwarded like,
“Okay cool, next cliché.”
💔 THE “JACK OF ALL CLICHÉS, MASTER OF NONE” DEPARTMENT:
It has everything a rom-com needs — on paper.
But nothing gets time to breatheand and/or get's overkilled till you hate it.
Instead of depth, you get a highlight reel of familiar beats done with sponsers midway… fine.
🎯 FINAL VERDICT:
A perfectly serviceable, aggressively mid rom-com that checks every box and rushes past the feelings.
✔ Watch if: You want easy romance, decent chemistry, and zero surprises.
❌ Skip if: You value pacing, emotional payoff, or endings that don’t feel panic-edited.
☕ Best paired with: Snacks, low expectations, and the realization that “fine” is this drama’s final form.
