It delivers what’s promised

It’s a fun, light, and interesting journey!

The premise is very well executed, with great special effects, strong side characters, and excellent development of the FL.

About Jisoo:
I’m not used to actress Jisoo, but after two episodes I completely forgot she was Jisoo and was able to see only the character. Some scenes were a little cringe, like when she gets bothered and shakes her head like “why?”, but I’ve seen other actors do this too. I guess it’s something Koreans do to vent frustration. Other than that, I really liked her acting.

ML:
I LOVED the way he fell in love. It wasn’t obvious; it was about the little things. After he realized his feelings, he was a real man. Even when things got complicated, he was able to understand his heart.

FL:
She is a little egocentric, and sometimes I didn’t like the way she treated her friend. But she had the biggest growth in the whole drama, and it was really nice to see. I also felt sympathetic toward her after finding out what happened in the past. Her character felt very real. I think anyone who has been in relationships can relate to her.

The plot:
The AI dating isn’t really the focus. It’s actually about letting go of the past and opening up to new experiences, but it adds entertainment value.
The scene when the FL goes on a blind date in real life was SO REAL. It showed the truth about modern dating in such a raw way. I was not expecting that.

The side characters are fun to watch, and I got very invested in the best friend’s storyline.

I didn’t catch myself fast-forwarding at all, and 10 episodes was the perfect length.

Definitely the best rom-com this year so far!
