It’s odd cause they do so many scenes more than once.
It feels like they're stretching the show because they painted themselves into a corner and don't know how to milk it until episode 12. I mean, it's pretty much well established that those two like each other. So Cher's rebuffing Gun's advances looks too artificial even with the 'tragedy from the past' subplot. On the other hand, Gun is still his BOSS and those situations are getting uncomfortable. Trauma and all, these are too grown-ups behaving like what? I dunno.
I was watching Happy Ending Romance before this show. So, three episodes in, I’m more than happy to see there’s an interesting story that seems to involve actual people in the real world (despite the fantasy meteor setup), editing that makes perfect sense, a director who is directing, and a discrete soundtrack that works. This is brilliant! I mean, have you watched Happy Ending Romance?
There’s a serious problem of tone here. It goes from too cartoonish (the co-workers, the mother) to heavy-handed drama (the flashbacks and the mother) so the series hasn’t found its feet yet. As a result, the banter isn’t witty or funny enough and the drama just feels exploitative — worse, it’s veering into trauma porn. All the chemistry between Net and James gets drowned in the middle. The score just makes things worse.
Finally, there’s a marketing problem. Mandee has promoted Bed Friend as a red hot workplace romantic comedy. What we’ve got is a red hot mess.

Dude doesn’t waste time.
They show his apartment. Suspension of disbelief is over.
I loved it.
