Short, budget cute but shallow!

This drama falls into that tricky space where the reel format works against it, yet the story and performances are decent enough to pull it through. Like, who thought chopping a perfectly fine story into TikTok-sized bits was a good idea! The whole thing ran for about 1.5 hours, which honestly could have been a cute movie or a mini drama with proper 20+ minute episodes.

Now onto the good part..the leads. Their chemistry was lowkey adorable. The banter had that flirty but awkward in the right places vibe. They have got very contrasting personalities, but somehow together it just clicked. You actually feel their little moments, which is rare in these short-format dramas.

What annoyed me was the background music. At times I couldn't hear the dialogues and it was very distracting. Also, choppy editing in the middle ( but I expected it considering the format)

That said, this isn’t a drama that tries to deliver deep character arcs or heavy development, and it doesn’t pretend to. But honestly I didn’t even mind. The vibe was light, the pacing worked and both actors carried it way better than the budget probably allowed.

Overall It’s giving cute one time watch. Not a rewatch, but definitely not a regret either.
