Interesting premise, awful execution
This will be one of my short reviews. I realize that it's a waste of time to try to give all the reasons I didn't like something, so I prefer to focus on what I like and write long reviews for the dramas I loved. So from now on anything that gets less than a 7 gets a short review.
I was so excited, I thought this would be a perfect rom com. The premise was just what you imagine for a rom com. You write the story before it even starts. It should have so many potential for romantic, cute, funny scenes. Let me tell you right away. These were all a pipe dream. There was no spark. There was no romance. there was no chemistry.
It was a lesson of how to ruin an interesting concept. I blame the FL. She's not a god actress, and also her character wasn't endearing so if you have a bland and insipid heroine you can't get into a rom com. I didn't care about why she way like this because she didn't make me care. I've seen in other dramas and I find her a mediocre actress at best.
The ML wasn't better though. I had no idea what he felt since his expressions were all the same. I hope he'd bring something, a little fire into their relationship, but instead it was boring scene after boring. He's not a great actor either, so in some level they were made for each other. That ruined the drama.
But they're not the only ones to blame. The director didn't do anything to correct this because it was lifeless from start to finish. As for the other couples, I didn't dislike them but I sure didn't care. I hated the 2ML and I loved the 3ML. But all in all, I couldn't care less for any of these characters.
Last thing, they had a good premise with the dating show and it was a disaster in the end. I could say the last episode saved something but not really. It was too late and it still felt lifeless.
