Surprised me in a good way.
I was not expecting much from it but what it actually offered something much deeper: a realistic portrayal of how misunderstandings, insecurity, and emotional unreadiness can break a relationship… and how honest communication can heal it.
I saw people not liking this but I'm not sure if this review will help but I want you to give it a chance.
What I Loved:
1. The 8-Year Gap Wasn't Just Drama for Drama's Sake:
Both characters misunderstood each other for years, but the drama didn't villainize either. Jin Hwan admitted he wasn’t ready back then, and Min Jun was insecure and hurt. It felt like two flawed people who did the best they could with the emotional tools they had at the time.
2. Communication Post-Reunion Felt Natural:
They didn’t fall into each other’s arms right away. They talked. They argued. They listened. The conversation felt adult and honest. Both acknowledged that they made mistakes, and yeah they both blamed each other but also themselves as well.
3. The Reconciliation Didn’t Feel Rushed:
They still had feelings for each other—but they didn’t jump blindly into love. They were cautious, vulnerable, and committed to not repeating the past. That’s real growth.
4. Strong Character Development:
Min Jun, who once ran away, stayed and chose to work through the pain. Jin Hwan, who once held back emotionally, gave assurance and showed up for their relationship. Watching them evolve was genuinely satisfying.
5. Compatibility Isn’t Instant—It’s Built:
This story showed they weren’t compatible back then. Even after getting back together, they still clashed. But this time, they talked through it, trying hard to make things work.
6. Natural Chemistry & Banter:
Their arguments, small moments, and daily interactions felt incredibly natural—like two people with real history rediscovering each other. It was refreshing to watch.
Flaws?
None that stood out to me honestly—I was so immersed in their dynamic and their emotional growth.
Final Thoughts:
If you're into quiet, mature, second-chance romances that focus on earned love rather than instant sparks, Business as Usual will absolutely speak to you. It's not flashy, but it’s sincere—and sometimes, that’s even better.
