Watch It on 1.75× or Skip Scenes — You’ll Still won't miss anything
I’ll start with honesty. Did I skip certain parts of the drama? Yes, I did. But does that mean I didn’t understand the story or missed something important? Absolutely not — simply because there isn’t much story going on in the first place. The drama never really builds a compelling narrative or any sense of momentum. It’s not even functioning well as a light-hearted romantic comedy; instead, it just feels plain and bland.
Even the flashy elements that seem designed to attract attention — like the countless outfits worn by Jisoo and the over-the-top cameos — fail to save the show. The side characters don’t help either; most of them feel like fillers that add nothing substantial to the story.
Another thing I genuinely don’t understand is why this project was picked up by Netflix. My guess is that the association with #Blackpink tag was enough to guarantee attention and publicity. But relying on popularity instead of focusing on the story and execution is exactly how projects like this end up falling flat.
In the end, the biggest issue is that the drama is simply boring. There’s nothing really happening here — no strong story, no clear direction, no convincing chemistry, and honestly, very little watch value.
Before ending, I really want to talk about Jisoo. I’m not saying this to be unnecessarily harsh, but it needs to be said. When you look at the number of talented actors out there who struggle to even land supporting roles, it’s hard not to question why someone (Jisoo) with such limited acting ability keeps getting lead roles.
Sorry but not sorry — at this point Jisoo seriously needs help. She needs a mentor who can actually teach her what acting is. Her performance feels extremely monotonous. Her dialogue delivery barely changes, and the tone of her voice stays the same even when the emotions and atmosphere of the scene clearly shift.
It often feels like she doesn’t fully understand what her character is trying to convey. And that’s one of the last mistakes any actor would want to make. Not understanding the character you’re playing is exactly where everything starts going wrong.
I genuinely hope she takes constructive criticism seriously and works on improving herself.
