This Was Alright...
This was alright. It needed a bit more depth for me and more happy scenes. I did really enjoy the ending and the other 2 couples in this show, but the main couple wasn't great. The ML takes waaay too long to understand, or act on his feelings. When he finally does, they get broken up and he does nothing to try and stop this or chase after the FL.
I do appreciate that the 2 exes are portrayed as being in the wrong, since they most definitely are. They had to grow as people in order to be better partners. It's good that they show some of that growth, but I absolutely hated the 2FL/2OHY. She was so terrible and selfish. They try to show her side of the story but, I'm sorry, she just comes off as entitled and self-centered. I don't really love her redemption arc as what she did and her constant gross behaviors towards the FL shouldn't have been brushed past. I just wanted to punch this girl all the time and the show really needed to be shorter so that I didn't have to feel that way all the time. Too much screen time for her with the FL. It could've been 12 episodes and cut out a lot of filler and wasted moments.
Anyways, I really did love the ending and many of the side characters. The leads had several cute parts towards the end too, but I wasn't as moved by them. I loved the FL's coworkers and parents so much. How often can you say that about a k-drama lol. Great cast though in many ways, I just with the ML was better as I felt he was very lacking in this story. I prefer a stronger, more secure ML, but I get they were going for something else. He also way too prideful for me and never wanted to really show affection or do anything that he didn't see as manly. There are a lot of men like this, but not my style and that's part of why I didn't like them much.
I'm giving a 6/10 for the great ending and the awesome side characters, but I need my ML to be better since he's half of the focus of the show. On that note, the FL was great, if a bit overly eager. I loved much of her honesty and vulnerability. If it didn't drag so much and focus on constant separation and desperation, I would have given this a higher rating. I recommend skipping a lot if you want to just get to the good stuff and the other couples. Still worth watching for them, I think <3
