JAIL TIME FOR THE WRITERS.
I'm seeing an upward trend of writers seemingly giving up mid story. It had so much potential to be the best romcom of the year but the writers had to ruin it with their lazy storyline. It started off with a bang- the first two episodes gave me hope for what was to come, and i admit, it had me hooked, but as the story progressed i felt bombarded with all existing tropes and cliches that made the story laughable.
If i were the writer, these are some of the things i'd do differently:
- Darim and Seonu (sml) will strictly be FRIENDS and nothing more. He reluctantly agrees to being her husband but feels very uncomfortable to act as so as he is very smitten by the SFL. He doesn't gain any romantic feelings for Darim AT ALL. Although, they have a platonic relationship, he is very protective of his friend- fueling further jealousy in Jihyeok. Seonu and Darim are a comedic duo.
- ML would find out the Darim's secret early on, although he is upset about the lies, he is able to move on.
- They start a secret relationship, where we get to see their electric chemistry from the initial episodes. They work hard to hide their relationship with great difficulty, whilst faking being with their intended other.
-sml and sfl are also in a relationship, and have to hide their relationship and when everyone discovers this, hell ensues.
-after Darims debt is paid off, she remembers that she has a sister! the leads work hard to find her, and have the family reconnect.
- with all the misunderstandings cleared, we see the leads living a happy domestic life until the accident (no need for filler episodes)
- jihyeoks accident happens a few episodes earlier, where darim sadly fails to help him regain his memories of them together and they separate.
-the last two episodes have the leads cross paths over the year, where jihyeok slowly but surely falls in love with darim all over again. His old memories don't return but they build new and deeper ones.
I think it was an easy fun watch. Cinematography was good and visually appealing. Acting was ok, but the leads chemistry made up for it. Despite its faults, i was very invested and i would still highly recommend it.
