Over promising
I started this drama uneducated about its manhwa version but with hopes and excitement without fearing or caring for the fans’ complaints about the cast.
The synopsis was looking fun and engaging, the kind of light story full laughters. I was happy with the cast as I have seen many dramas with both of them. They always delivers solid quality acting but never really bad or extraordinary neither.
The first episode was somehow ok, not strong enough to start a serial but we all know that Kdramas don’t work with the pilot model where the first episode is craft to the perfection by going through rounds of approval, testings, viewers’s reviews, reshooting, recasting….
But after finishing painfully the drama in 3 gos. First one I watched the 4 first episodes and then a few weeks later the next 4 and I came back went the drama was over to watch the last 2. Unfortunately the first episode was the best.
Most scenes take place in the office where they are focused on making beer…which for me it’s such poor taste mixed with a pregnancy story. But God knows how much money those beers brands can pull of. Very fast the show lost the promise and went to a boring office romance with an evil character. The kind of story we have already seen too often. They also threw a love triangle, a cliche trauma and a pathetic evil sister in law. The story ends well but leaves you under whelmed as there isn’t one memorable moment worth watching.
All characters are under-developed, the story felt empty and bland.
So if you want a nice drama with mature love this isn’t the right pick as they just behave like 20 something.
If you want a story about unplanned pregnancy it isn’t the right pick either as after episode 3 that pregnancy is basically a very far subplot.
If you craving for an epic love story it ain’t the right one there isn’t any depth or amazing chemistry.
This drama has nothing special it was delivered without any care or ambition to say something about anything.
