Overbearing female, weak male. Unsatisfying lead romance
I saw Noh Min Woo in My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho & was hoping to see him as the lead in a romance, but this drama had him playing an idiot-so Wow , the guy can act ! But Euw ! His part was cringy. I never could see him as an adult & a man. He was NOT attractive- just very childish. The story was interesting but the romance just didn't work with such a strong female & such a weak male. He really was Unfortunate to fall in love with a woman who really was as selfish & self focused as she was .They should have had him overcome his trauma & come out much more mature. I kept waiting for the moment when he would slick back his hair & look less goofy & more dashing. but that never happened. They do have him showing quite ALOT of skin at times & he is ripped, but his hotness is dampened 75% by his lacking mentality ( it didn't seem like innocence) . Crude elements pop up very so often, but mostly it's highlighting how the main characters are for the most part innocent. Other characters make fun of that as it's a rarity & yet to a few it's an ideal.(both a strength & a weakness) I was disappointed to see that they had the usual drama trope of separating the couple before reuniting them. The secondary couple was really lacking in chemistry & honestly, Jung Yoon Hak was aloof & inscrutable for most of the drama. It was hard to figure out if any of his feelings were genuine. I felt a bit cheated that the secondary couple had a more romantic resolution than the main couple .
