Boring
Honestly, when i started watching this I wasn't expecting anything great but having watched reverse harem anime, like ouran highschool host club, I expected more.
The FL is childish, entitled, and annoying. In the first episode I thought she was that way to fend of weirdos that approached her or her family members but then as the show went on I realised she was just annoying. She is endearing at some pounts, like helping out people she knows and helping her family but for the most part she is unlikable. Some people stated they didn't understand why she would continue lying, its because she needs the job to survive and as time goes on you do get caught up in it. The idea wasn't bad, just the execution.
Theres the side plot with the mum and the butcher which was boring, I skipped it.
Then there is the ML, 2nd ML, and 2nd FL and the weird love quad between these characters and Eun chan. It is a realistic situation, humans are complex like that. However, it was so frustrating to watch.
Mainly because the 2nd FL was so boring and unlikable. She is written as someone who can't settle down, and I get it, the idea of settling down as a woman is scary and I think this is where they wanted to go with this. However, it wasn't communicated well and she came off as a manipulative user, dating DK to help her progress in her career and then still leading Han guel on while causing the other guy insecurity. Though I do think it is also protraying how relationships between men and women as friends or lovers can be complicated. That said, the scenes were not enjoyable. The plot was executed badly. The only scene i really liked was when she gave Han Guel a brithday gift, that was wholesome and shows their bond and friendship. I understand why this plot line was included but it was just not fun to watch.
Then there is the toxic behaviour demonstrated by countless characters. Maybe it's the time it was made? Like some of it was stalker behaviour and then the women being weird and manipulative, looking at angel and yoo joo.
I was going to try and finish it with the hopes it got better but each episode is 1 hour long. Additionally, it didn't pass the 3 episode test, yet I still gave it a chance and even then I found myself sitting there wondering: "Why am I watching this?". I am happy some people enjoyed it but it was just not a good watch for me.
