A distraction, and that's it.
First of all, I need to confess that I'm not a fan of short cdramas. I barely finished any of those I tried in the past. But this one caught my attention because I like how both leads weren't characters that were written with the sole intention to make them loved by the audience (at least in the first part of the drama).
Eps 1 - 13 : Very entertaining, creative direcring, cute chemisty, interesting grey areas from leads, good pacing, nice costumes, acting performances that were ok from the leads, not impressive at all but with potential from both (the rest of the cast was meh tbh), cheesy writing but a cheesiness that felt right LOL (if you get it, you simply get it. If you don't, then you don't).
The quality of the writing is not serious enough for me to even try to analyse it, I was there just to be entertained and clearly the writing wasn't trying to get my brain's attention, which is good since I had no intention to waste my braincells.
Let's say the storytelling was good enough to get my attention.
I have to add, that some scenes of v'olence were a bit too excessive imo, a bit triggering and of poor taste just too add cheap quick useless shock values ...
Eps 14 - 20 : Disastrous, absolute nonsense that didn't need to be seen. Ridiculous writing, boring and repetitive delivery from everyone.
The whole initial tone of the drama disapeared to leave us with a eww chessy (the wrong one this time) writing and fake candy taste of superficial romance that was way too obvious for me to pretend to not be bothered by it.
Eps 20 - 24 : ok, some cute scenes here and there, but frankly after ep13, the whole thing went mediocre.
The fl was lowkey trying to force the ml to do it with her in ep22, and tried to make him feel guilty for not engaging with her attempt to get phisicaly close, which was a psycho move we also didn't to have !!?? tf was that for?? Yikes.
And then she has to fake her death for the ml to kinda confess his feelings to her ... I was left speechless of how cringe the drama turned out to be, gosh the FATIGUE was real at this point.
The actual love mak'ng scene turned out to be the peak comedy I didn't see coming, was that scene supposed to be steamy??? HAHAHA.
The final of the drama was clearly just about how both were horny for each other .... yup, the writer had nothing else to write about... they added few others scenes just for the sake of not turning the drama into something else hmhm, ANYWAY.
I kinda felt some pity of the the 2nd ml at the end of the drama cause damn they really tried their best to make him look ridiculous, pure clownerie level.
Do I regret watching it? Nah it was entertaining until it wasn't. I can't get mad at a drama that isn't arrogant, or that never aimed to be more than it was aka a good distraction which it was.
Will I rewatch it? Absolutely not.
