Filing Fizzled Strangely as the "Love" Started to Blossom
I really enjoyed this show to start. Loved all the actors in this. Liked that the FL was all business and didn't take crap from anyone. Though I did have to laugh at the ridiculousness of her starting a physical altercation with the HR Director and still keeping her job and in management no less. Lol. Only on "tv." SMH. Both would've likely been fired if this show was more realistic. Still I liked that she wasn't the nicest person in the room, but she would fight for what was right.
I liked her interactions with the ML. Loved that she countered his arrogance and childishness with professionalism and maturity. But I also liked the potential that was between them. So when they finally kissed I felt the fire. However...things started to go down hill from there. After that kiss the ML was suddenly smitten with the FL and became insistent that they pursue a relationship, even though he knew doing such a thing would cause real problems for them, especially for her.
Also, it seemed like he had this savior complex, as evidenced by his past relationship with his ex-girlfriend. So I found myself questioning whether he truly liked the FL or did he see her as someone who needed to be saved and was confusing empathy with love. I think that's when their potential romance started to cool for me. Then the SML is thrown in the mix along with his history with the FL and I couldn't help but start shipping them.
Yes. He was problematic but their history was interesting and they were evenly matched emotionally unlike the ML, who could be extremely immature. I got more than halfway through this series and lost interest because I just could not ship the OTP anymore. Plus the story had some contrived plot twists and started to get boring. I took a break from the show and attempted to pick it back up, but it could no longer hold my interest, so I dropped it.
