Finding balance between cringe & comedy
To be honest, the last episode is so worth all the cringe comedy in the other 9 episodes. Maybe they should have focused more on the rom than com, because when the leads get together in the finale, the chemistry is on fire and they are the cutest! I was giggling and blushing the whole time, I wish we had more of that than the cringe-comedy. It wasn’t the funniest show, but it had moments of hilarity for sure, with ML’s (Junyoung’s) expressions, quick delivery and body comedy + the younger sisters also had very natural funny moments. The pace is okay, short and sweet but this also means the supporting casts are not developed at all. The reversal of the Cinderella trope with the step family could have delved deeper. Even ML’s family trauma seems so easily handled :/ (but his parents were so funny and cute with the 2 scenes they had together, wish we had more). But I did like the message of seeing oneself without the lens of hatred and becoming your own Prince Charming. So I’d still recommend it for some dumb fun (and the kiss scenes.. like wow)
