A charming, lovely rom com done well
Things I adored
1 The FL. This was the first drama I watched with her and I loved her. She's a great actress and she made me not only care for her, but also laugh, cry, yell. No matter what kind of scene she played she made feel what she felt. I also loved her hair, and her chemistry with the ML. Her relationship with her brother and her sister was also perfect. The best actress for the role. I can't imagine many would play the part so well. Her character was great but also the actress, so the combination made me love everything about her.
2 The ML. I wasn't one of those who checked his previous dramas so I was sure I wouldn't like him at first. He's not my ideal man and I thought he would be wooden for some reason. I was so so wrong. He played his part to perfection. Just his smile and his vulnerability made me fall for him. There was something n the way he played that moved me, touched me more than I thought it would and that's rare for a rom com to move me like this. Kudos to him and 'm looking on his other dramas now.
3 The relationship between them. From the first misunderstandings to their living together and falling in love, it was done great. They conveyed the right feelings. they were fun, romantic, jealous, all you need in a romantic comedy. It's been a while I loved both leads so much. I'm always disappointed by something when it's a rom com. Here they did the tropes just right.
4 The kisses, the touches, the jealousy, the caring, the doubts. Everything was well done and not on your face. They should do another rom com together.
The things I loved
1 The 2ML. He was a great second lead. I watch him in parallel in another drama where he's also 2nd lead and I find his character similar in a way, although I can't seem to care enough to finish the other drama whilst I finished this in three days. He's not at all someone I would call handsome, yet he made me care about him and I was sad that he had to give up on her. He did the right thing, his character was great, and that's why I was sad. Great job from the actor, even though, I'll be honest, I don't see him in a lead role for some reason.
2 Her family. Her brother and her sister, but her parents as well, even though they had a small part. Such great characters and it warmed my heart to see their relationship. How they protected her and never judged her. Great job from everyone. I even wish I could see them more.
3 The ML assistant. I will admit, I thought sometimes that he was the bad guy. I'm glad he wasn't. He played the role with some ambiguity and his face, his expression helped, but at the end of the day he was someone who cared about the ML and that also added to my pleasure watching the series.
4 The plot. When I first read about it, I thought: Great, another rom com I'll abandon after one episode. I don't care about this kind of plot normally. I prefer real situations where there isn't an element or supernatural or something out of the ordinary, although I've see quite a few. But it was so well done that I came to care about his heart and her power, and pan intended, their chemistry was so electric, the plot didn't bother me at all.
The things I disliked
1 The outfits of the ML. I see that many praise them and yes, there were sometimes he was dressed well. I decided to mention this in my list though because I'm fed up with the way these men dress. Don't they have a mirror? Why on earth unless for a special occasion you'd wear such unfitted clothes. The ML here had some truly unfortunate outfits and I wonder if they don't have a say or if more men in China have bad taste in clothes. I'm all for individuality and you can wear a sac of potatoes if you want, but when I watch a drama I watch to get inspired and enjoy things, not to see people wear awful things without make any statement. Wear these kind of outfits in your personal life if it's your cup of tea. Rant over and it was slightly for the Ml and more for the whole industry. Also, there are some dramas where the leads are perfectly styled and yes, it enhances my enjoyment.
2 That it was only 10 episodes. I would watch the double just to see them together. They were so cute and adorable both. Their chemistry was exceptional.
3 The grandmother. I think the actress was too stiff and she didn't embrace the role. I'm not even sure what was the point of her being like this. I think she is the character I didn't find essential. She wasn't a good grandmother if you ask me, and although I hated her daughter, I also understand why she'd have such a bad relationship with her mother. Plus, she never redeemed herself in my eyes. But it's the actress that bothered me more. I've seen her in other dramas, she's not great, but here she was particularly bad.
The things I hated
1 Han Seol Hui. What a vile and stupid person. I can't fathom that someone could be that awful, yet here we are and even though I don't want to cross that kind of person, they exist in real life. Did she play well her role? Probably since I hated her, but to be honest I didn't like the actress for some reason. It's not only about the role. I just didn't click with her.
2 Do Yun. If I hated the 2FL a bit, I wished for him to go to hell a million times. It's crazy that someone can have such hate in his heart and not being able to see his shortcomings. I'll say the same thing, he's done well since I hated him, but I won't. The actor wasn't good, he was rather bad actually. I didn't buy his evil persona and sometimes I wanted to laugh at him and hiss schemes. To play well an evil character you need some charisma and he had the charisma of a wall painted beige.
3 The parents of the 2ML. What stupid characters. They deserved everything it came their way. They should have paid much more. There was no excuse about their pathetic behavior. Greedy, malevolent people who only care about themselves.
