Great idea, but the execution could have been better.
Well… this drama was definitely something.
I think the concept and overall idea were interesting and had a lot of potential, but the execution wasn’t as successful in my opinion. I really enjoyed the first few episodes and the whole concept of the virtual boyfriends — it was fun and entertaining to watch.
However, I think the biggest issue was that the male lead barely had any screen time, and we didn’t even get a hint that he might be interested in Mi Rae until episode 6, which honestly felt a bit crazy to me. By that point it already felt too late, and it didn’t really capture my interest anymore. I would have loved if they had shown that from the beginning — maybe while she was going on dates with the virtual boyfriends, we could have seen more interactions between them at the office and more development in their relationship.
I also think I would have liked this drama more if it had been shorter. Instead of 10 episodes, I feel like 8 would have been enough.
Another idea I think could have worked well is if the drama had focused more on the virtual world itself — for example, each episode featuring a different virtual boyfriend, and by the end she realizes that this world isn’t realistic and doesn’t truly help her. Then she chooses to live her life properly in the real world and eventually finds real love outside of it.
I also have to admit that I didn’t really enjoy Jisoo’s performance, and I’m sorry to say that. I think she’s a very talented person, but her acting didn’t feel strong enough here, and in my opinion she can’t quite carry an entire drama on her own yet. That being said, I actually thought she was very good in Snowdrop, where that type of role suited her much better.
I was also a bit surprised to see Seo In Guk choose this project. He’s perfect as always — I will never complain about seeing that beautiful face on screen. I just wish he had gotten more screen time earlier in the drama instead of mostly appearing in the later episodes.
The real highlight of this drama, though, was definitely the cameo appearances of the virtual boyfriends. The lineup of actors who showed up for those small roles was seriously top-tier, and I loved seeing all of them.
Especially Lee Soo-hyuk — that man is unbelievably handsome, I could barely breathe.
And of course my man Lee Jae-wook.
