Frustrating disappointment
The first 2 episode were good : the first was full romcom, the second made the characters more profound and more interesting, but of course it went downhill, like every drama nowadays.
It's actually frustrating because it feels like k-dramas don't want to grow with the audience hence those lamentable misunderstanding that drag for too long. I don't ask dramas to be the copy paste of the reality or have no tension/problems but having characters that acts more mature, more logically isn't that difficult.
Even worse those days, the writer only pile up different plot (ennemies to lovers, childhood connection, love triangle, amnesia, etc...) and call this a scenario even if it's not consistent. Sometimes I wonder how they could make some choices when it's obvious it doesn't made the story better but only made it lazy and annoying.
In this drama it's flagrant, because we had the opportunity to see a lovely couple between Ha-yeong and Seon-u that could've problems since he's a single father but still triumphed at the end. Instead we were served with a bland love triangle that made no sense whatsoever, super cringe and made character like Seon-u super dumb and irresponsible. Because why was he running in a dangerous zone to save his lover like he hasn't a kid that wait him back home and acted like he was some teenager ? That baffled me honestly.
Da-rim and Ji-hyeok were cute yes but also very frustrating. I agree at 100% with why Da-rim hide the truth. But because it was dragging so much, both became annoying even if we could understand them at first. I mean Ji-hyeok's super solution was to marry Ha-yeong against her will but why would he act like his father whom he hates so much ?
I won't even talk about this stupid break up that made no sense, sorry I found Da-rim so dumb to just follow the words of Ji-hyeok's sister without questioning them. I mean what's the point of being with someone if you can't communicate and overcome the obstacles together. If you can break up for such fickle reason and brand it as protection, you might as well not get together in the first place. Thank God there weren't many ep left so they couldn't drag this out but it was so frustrating.
Overall it's not a bad drama, the chemistry is there, there were some funny moments but I'm frustrated because I'm seeing a pattern with the recent k-dramas that doesn't please me. I think lazy writing should be call out otherwise dramas quality will only drop further.
