slow burn romance through the stages of life
they started off so boring in the first two episode I couldn't keep my eyes open. Then they took off halfway through episode 2 and I love it till episode 14 when the FL became an absolute idiot and a just a complete b word.
I loved the fresh new take on contract marriages with no one being wealthy and just too regular people falling in love through a fake marriage. It felt similar to because this is my first life a lot in the middle. I liked the mix of suspense and how sweet and pure their love was. How awkward they were and how ride or die she became. Now I'm loving how ride or die he is when she is flaking.
I don't like how the writers would make her character so kind and naive and then to cruel and shrewd. I also didn't like all the stupid independent woman stuff in the first few episodes. All that stuff to her boss about not looking down at women with small cars or how hard it is for girls in soul to drive. It was too preachy and in our faces.
They so badly wanted us to believe that she was a girl boss when she was everything but that. She gave up on her "girlbossing" the moment the right guy came along. Which I loved for her because I reality thats what most of us want.
I loved the love story and it was strong enough concept and actors to show more of it and not have a thousand filler subplots to try to extend the show. So I found myself skipping A LOT to get to the couple. Rewatch value for this would have been through the roof if they focused on the couple like 1% of something did.
By epi 20 I was screaming for an end to this.
though this story covers Love that trancends through many stages of the lives of the characters and how they made it work and compromised, I believe 24 episodes was overkill. If they removed all the useless subplots they could have a stronger story and rewatchable drama at maybe even 12 episodes of mostly the couple instead of all the filler work, useless family and cringy country bumpkin subplots I had to skip.
If it wasn't for ride or die she was at the start and then how oh Jak Doo picked up the baton after she dropped it, I would be able to continue with this drama. But they're love was so nice to watch I just had to see it through though.
the FL's character took a nosedive from epi 14 to 19 Because they had so many more things to figure out I forgot how much I hated her and it made up for it.
as for the OST the first half was so quiet with no music that I was wondering what they were thinking but they fixed it by the second half.
The main actors especial Kim Kang woo killed their rolls. they were able to portray the weird awkward vibe of two people who haven't had any experience in dating for years if not at all.
Overall it was a crazy ride I don't think I'll be getting in anytime soon. I devoured the love story, just wish there was less filler crap to skip through to get to main story and the reason we were all watching in the first place.
