More Abs Than Depth!

It seemed fun at first, and the leads are definitely easy on the eyes—especially the male lead, who spends a good chunk of the series shirtless. The storyline is pretty predictable: a model male lead and a manager female lead. Still, I’ll give it credit for the comedy, which was actually pretty good, and bonus points for the actors being able to speak fluent English when needed.

But beyond that, the plot falls apart—and so do the characters. The female lead is basically a doormat. She’s overly kind and constantly gets taken advantage of throughout the series. The male lead, on the other hand, is just... a jerk. I get that he has a tragic backstory or trauma, but that doesn’t excuse his behavior. He avoids the two other girls who keep throwing themselves at him, but still gives off mixed signals, like he kind of lets it happen sometimes.

A lot of the drama could’ve been avoided. I know he’s a model and needs to stay professional, but come on—set some boundaries. Meanwhile, the female lead is loyal and never swayed, and it just feels unfair. This series may look light and fluffy on the surface, but underneath it’s really just a toxic relationship disguised as romance.
