Lots of potential, Bad Execution
This isn't bad bad drama or anything. It is actually the most easygoing k-drama I have ever watched. It almost felt a little bit TOO easygoing I'm not gonna lie (but I think that's just because I'm used to watching dramas that piss me off 24/7 lolll). The pacing of this drama is really weird. For example, when the ML confesses it was really awful timing and felt very unauthentic because he had shown no direct interest in her previously. Also, I feel like they could have done more with the plot. The potential was there and the whole idea of virtual dating is really new and refreshing to see in a k-drama. but they didn't have much comparison between the two. It just felt like the FL did one thing and then the other instead of going back and forth between the two, which would have added more emotional and psychological depth (something the drama lacks). The first 4 or so episodes don't add any depth between the leads at all. It just showed the FL going from virtual bf to virtual bf and didn't show the FL and ML together as much as it should/could have. I wish there more more emotional conflicts then just "I like you but i'm scared to get with you because I don't want you to change and then we break up." It was mentioned a lot in the show and began to feel repetitive because that was essentially the main conflict within the whole show. I feel like then could've added more of a comparison between virtual dating and dating IRL. They did, but it should've been more because as I said earlier it would've added more depth. I only kept watching just to see how it was going to end, not because I was seriously engaged like how I am with other dramas. Besides, I knew that they were going to end up together in the end anyways. Also.,I feel like the first 2 episodes were good, but then around episode 4, it started to just make me think "okay so it's been 4 episodes and no romantic tension between the leads at all." Another thing, I feel like they could have made them ACTUAL enemies rather then him just pissing her off because he, unbeknownst to her (and the audience) likes her and she just gets easily irritated (low-key real tho). The casting is pretty good too. Although, I'm not gonna lie, the only reason I watched it is to see Lee Soo-Hyuk lolll, And at first, I just thought it was going to be a dump of a lot of famous people and not even be that good and sadly, I was kinda right. I'm not saying it's TERRIBLE, but it's definitely not the BEST drama I have ever watched. Definitely just something you watch to pass time.
