I find myself more excited and interested in this show then the one that airs over the weekend on Netflix lmao…
I take some mental notes about screenplay, as it's a bit my habit now.
We got some zippy visual inserts (episode 1) accelerating pace/understanding. Just I found them cliché, rather a good technical point, but not in effect. Check the ones in Yumi Cells for example, to find good ones related to the story.
Ep2, 34:50. I noticed a phone conversation entirely put in voice-over as the heroine goes to see her mother. Here, it was really the good thing to do. Accelerate the pace, put us into action instead to stand by with a phone conversation. Note also: the situation starts with FL looking anxiously at her phone, generating surprise for audience, even it's for a few seconds and resolution comes 5 seconds later.
Else, what we can expect about structure, most of elements aren't random. So if you are attentive you can see the foreshadowing and logic of events. Example: - Inciting incident: FL propose fake mariage. - Refusal of the call: ML doesn't wan't. Quite expected. - Subplot: ML meets a guy he knows. Insert scene before introducing him as a gigolo. The guy propose him to do this job, as it pays well. Foreshadowing. - Logical follow-up: FL goes to the pumpkin club to find a husband. Here too we don't know where it leads, but answer soon... - Resolution: the Gigolo meet ML, saying he found a fake wife for money at pumpkin club. ML understand it's her. Breaks his phone and accept mariage proposal, to avoid her to be scammed by the gigolo.
Writers: can we have more of these types of romcoms? Only 12 episodes - at least they are one hour long.Wonderful…
There is room for 12 episodes dramas, yes. About this one, it's not that bad, but it's very artificial. Everything is mechanical from writing point of view, often boring, sometimes cringe. I was surprised by a good scene, but just lack of attention, as it was highly predictable.
Halfway of episode 3. Woo! Here a good scene. It's a cliché one, but put into the story in a way you don't expect it. It's why I think clichés and tropes are still ok. Mariage proposal scene: she gets a proposal even better than a real one!

I think I need to watch a starcraft 2 best match to clear my mind.
Maybe a super-power I have and I wasn't aware about.

"A woman who forget her embarassing past has no future".
Here a good line.
