A serious story thread that made the mistake of leaning into comedy
The FL , who is a prosecutor, loses her memory after being beaten within an inch of her life upon discovering a dangerous secret between the leader of a crime syndicate and a powerful politician.
With a start like this the story potential is endless. Unfortunately the writers threw the amnesiac FL in a home with the ML whose pretending to be the boyfriend she can’t remember, but in reality was the gangster who was ordered to kill her. In theory this sounds intriguing except it’s not when the story surrounding them is essentially a comedy. It also begs the question of what is the ML’s end game here. He says he’s hiding her to protect her but his protection is not thought through much less how long he can keep her in hiding?
Additionally while the show explored a series of comedic moments between the leads and the supporting characters that surround them, it frequently revisited the crime boss who ordered her murder. His story thread is anything but comedic. The writers juxtaposing these vastly different story threads within the same show was jarring. Resulting in what seemed like conflicting genres. Moreover, the actors had no chemistry and the story threads despite their potential failed to be interesting beyond the initial setup in the first episode. Is this worth watching, not in my opinion. I ended up turning it off after about 3 episodes.
