Although I am not satisfied with the ending because I want more, I enjoyed this drama way more than I thought it would. The chemistry between Shin Min Ah and Kim Young Dae was far better than I expected. And I loved that they didn't highlight the age difference in the relationship but rather depicted it as a normal re,ationship. I love my strong smart FLs and sweet MLs. I hope they get paired opposite each other some more because they just worked so well together!
I don’t think the characters are annoying. But I ca. See how they could be considered as such. I think the ones…
Yeah those coworkers were meh but the ex of the FL in NGNL annoys me so much. Stealing the FL's work after cheating on her and then suddenly being interested in her again after getting married and starting to yell at his wife. Plus he was so happy the marriage was fake that he said he would get a divorce and marry her. Yes, he had a bit of comic relief element as well but I can't stand him.
I also don't like the 2nd ML. I know there is a spin off show based on him but he is horrible to his secretary, he took the anger/disgust he felt for his mom out on the author, he knows his mother is being unfair to the ML and FL but he decides to threaten them anyway. Plus he is the reason the secretary left hate comments on the second FL's story to begin with. Not that it is an excuse. Also, he forced his secretary to help him at the orphanage which was supposed to be his punishment. He got them washing machines mainly to make his life easier. But all these things make him off-putting to me. Waiting to see if he will be able to redeem himself. For similar reasons I disliked his parents. Father is a cheater and mother is a typical boy mom who instead of calling out the hate comments her son wrote against her favourite author, decided to attack the author and shut down the adaptation of her work.
Despite all this I am enjoying the show a lot. I love the leads and the comedy and I am entertained. Annoying characters are meant to be annoying to make the story more interesting. I just want more couple moments without interruptions.
I am really enjoying the show even with some of the annoying characters. I love the main leads and their chemistry. The show has excellent comedy and is a nice light watch.
Basically the main leads end up together but like in the last minute and after a time skip nonetheless. The 2nd…
Yes unfortunately they dragged it thereby ruining the show. They could have at least shown a better situation with the leads but the ML kept suffering. And the parents and brother were just too annoying. I liked the second FL but even when she was taking care of the ML, she acted insane. And her mother hid the truth about her birth father when she knew he was a killer. Why would you hide that from your adult daughter? It's a bit ridiculous. They wrapped everything up in the last 2 episodes so those are the only ones watchinb to get all the answers.
The only thing I liked is that they finally revealed and explained everything in a hurry in the last 2 episodes. But I was so done with the plot that I watched most of it on 1.5 and 2x. This drama was not a romance genre but a torture genre with so many annoying characters.
This drama had potential but they took it in such a miserable direction that everyone only had the scope to portray 1 specific emotion in depth.
I am being generous by giving it a 6/10 but only because I was glad they finally explained all the mess. And I liked the OST grey. I laughed at the couple's reunion.
I felt that FL’s character is very realistic. She was at her peak of career and relationship, then struck with…
Good explanation actually. Her actions do make sense. And I can understand that she might not want to go back to that life. But I also felt like she was feeling like she might become a burden again due to her illness. Maybe she thought he would not be able to deal with it again in future. And she preferred to stay home with her family and friends where she has more than 1 support system to fall back on. That's just my assumption though. Let's see if they share more details later.
and yet k drama fans sexualize the actors every chance they get
Don't think you'll find me doing that in any of my reviews. I rated the drama 8.5 and I can't even remember why. I might have to adjust the rating so thank you for your comment.
Currently this is my favourite airing drama even though both the ex and the CEO are getting on my nerves. The main couple's chemistry is doing wonders. And I love the mundane dialogues that just end up being so hilarious. Like " Money first pleaseee" and "That's not enough. You have to wash your brain."
