Comedic but too long for a rom com
SO MANY PLOT HOLES. I’m unsure whether this is due to translation or editing.
How i sat through 32 episodes of this drama is beyond me. I can’t say it is all bad - there were moments I laughed out loud (though I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve just given in and extremely lowered my expectations). The side actors (the colleagues) have A LOT of room for improvement, their acting felt very 2000 dramas.
I started this drama expecting it to bring mature and healthy adult relationships, BOY THE REVIEWS ARE LYING. These two are high on the immature leads!! Sure in terms of business they were smart, and realistic (someone said that the leads are over the top geniuses and more similar to real people in the workforce, which I agree.) but in their romantic relationship GAH, HOW MANY TIMES DID I YELL “COMMUNICATE! WITH! EACH! OTHER!”.
Their whole relationship they take turns making their own assumptions, throw a tantrum, argue with each other but NEVER address the problem, then he’ll wrist grab her and kiss. Repeat for 15 episodes.
This had so much potential had they chosen a specific trope to focus and build on, they could’ve done rich girl x poor guy (he isn’t even that poor anymore but they keep mentioning it?), the boss FL x employee ML, reunited high school sweethearts, and soo many more. instead they combined all these tropes and lots more other tropes altogether, which resulted in unfleshed storylines - the FL’s relationship with her mother didn’t get explored, nor did the ML’s relationship with his father, the ML’s main personality trait was his love for space and this was squeezed and shoved at us in the last two episodes, the girl is somehow a famous streamer (???) and this was mentioned in eps 1 and eps 32????
I have to say the writing, directing and editing is very very poor. This would've been better if it was 24-28 episode.
But if you can overlook the illogical plot, office politics and bad side acting, the main leads were funny, had good chemistry and carried the comedy well.
