Hello again friend! I just finished watching this one, and it is not bad. There are two main love triangles, and one for the second couple. If you are interested, I have a few spoilers for you below:

The female lead has a crush on SML for 4 episodes, which is already a red flag for me being that 1/4 of the show. The second love triangle is not as present, but it is there from this other girl who is obsessed with ML and will cause a huge misunderstanding between the main couple on episodes 7 and 8, which will ultimately push the main couple to get together.

The Love Triangle for the second couple is one episode long when the girl's ex comes back and causes some trust issues for the couple on episode 10.

I found the show cute and funny, but it can also be frustrating and not rewarding because you have to watch her crush on this other guy which is very innocent but hurts our ML. In addition of the ML getting constantly hurt by her crush, she also hurts him with multiple rejections that carry over after they're finally together, since her insecurities take her to a point where she wants to break up with him accompanied with some family drama and suddenly you are in the last episode where you wish you saw a little bit more of them together, and hopefully interrupted. I believe the show can be enjoyed, but it is far from the satisfying romance that I'd prefer.

The writers waste time on her crush on Blue finger for 4 episodes which in a 12 episodes drama is 1/4 of the drama, which I also don't like because I am supposed to believe that the main leads are each other's true love but that's hard to believe when you just saw the girl crushing extremely hard on someone else for one too many episodes. My biggest complaint, is that the reward is too little, because after waiting for her crush to be crushed, recognizing what was right on front of her and finally taking the first step towards romance, we are given a classic episode of an annoying brother rejecting the guy and offering her to someone else (but I guess that's supposed to be funny), then more insecurities, some family drama and the happy ending with "two" scenes of the main leads together without showing a glimpse of their future.

However, if you watch this for the comedy and to get in touch with your past trauma or her trauma, or something like that, then the romance is not that important for you.

The romance is not bad, but it is extremely unbalanced in benefit of prioritizing her personal growth through excruciating patience to wait for her to finally show some progress by the end.

I believe that all dramas have one of the main leads who is the actual protagonist and the other one is basically the companion. In the best case scenario, both are relevant to the plot, but one of them always comes first, and in this one the girl comes first because the story is about her breaking out of her shell, which may be a good watch for little girls or women trying to connect to their past and introverted teenager self, but for a man like me, or anyone else looking for a good romcom or just satisfying romance, this won't do, because if you put the annoying parts and rewarding moments, specially about romance, the annoying parts outweight the reward by a lot!

I liked the premise, but when the show was supposed to start rewarding the viewers for their time, you only get more insecurities from the female lead that you have been enduring for 8 episodes. The main couple starts their relationship, but you are thrown almost immediately into her insecurities again leaving you for episode and a half with them separated while she deals with herself and her family to get two more scenes in the last episode...

I appreciate the FF and Skip to skip love triangles and break ups everywhere I go in Dramaland!

The main love triangle seems pretty inoffensive. FL has a crush on SML, but it is almost like liking a famous actor or being fan of a K-Pop artist. I hate Love Triangles, but she is very innocent and it doesn't seem like the SML will even consider it, or the girl will get to the point to really trying beyond having almost childish crush scenarios in her head. I can see from only watching episode 1, that FL will crush on SML for a few, but her interactions will only be genuine and important for her in a sense of self development and real feelings with ML. Additionally, I read some comments about the last episode, and it seems like she confesses to him on episode 8, but what happened in the last episode is that then is when she presents him to her family or something along those lines. I will still give it a try.

There, that's another love triangle right there. You can say that the love triangle is short, or that it is inconsequential, but saying that there is no love triangle in both of the previous comments is incorrect.

I find funny how so many people like to delude themselves. Yes, this show seems to have a huge love triangle. Please remember that reciprocity is not required to complete the love triangle, the only requirement is that three people are somewhat involved in liking someone that may like someone else or that someone likes them. How annoying the love triangle is, will not depend only in the third person blocking the main couple, or receiving too much attention, but in the intention of the writers to insist in the love triangle. The show can be good or bad, depending on what you like, but yes, it does have a love triangle.

Now that I read your comment again, it seems like they are together at least from episode 8, so I might give it a try.

I normally don't like whenever one of the characters (from the main leads) is in love with someone else beyond maybe a past fling or already dying flame because it takes too much time away from developing the main main couple and even from convincing us that the main couple is in love. A good example is Strong Woman Do Bong Son, where FL spends almost 10 episodes crushing insanely hard on 2ML, and then I am supposed to believe that she is truly in love with ML? What if SML said yes, then is ML a plan B. I know I am complicating stuff, and romance comes in different forms, but this and a couple that is only together for the last episode is far from worth it for me...

I agree. I tried, and it felt like it was not going anywhere.

If the "feelings" are one sided is irrelevant if the writers and producers insist on giving that character too much screentime and attention. The problem is when you have to watch this other guy crushing, going after the girl and sometimes even blocking the main couple or causing misunderstandings. The love triangle trope only works of is short and with a purpose, like getting the main leads together faster or straight up to give us the satisfaction of a crushing rejection, but otherwise, it is no more than an annoying device to drag things out.

Song Xiu is 1000 times a better lawyer than Chen Ran. The only reason why she seems to be a permanent employee with her own team is because of her father because there is no way that a person working for a law firm with huge enterprises and companies clients can be considered a good lawyer with her puting her emotions first every single time. On the other hand, Song Xiu can lack some experience, but he is a master of conciliation and knows how to think outside of the box. I have only watched 13 episodes and everything I wrote is without a doubt at this point.

I am on episode 12 now, and I am also hoping for no break up! The writers have been trying to present this FL like someone that could be too "open" at times, but in reality, she seems to set solid boundaries with others, so I am sure that she will shut down the Doctor and the Ex whenever he comes back and tries to get close to her.

I read somewhere that this one has a love triangle and a few break ups for the main couple 🙃

Love Triangles are one of those annoying plot devices that writers love to use...

Yes, according to the tags.

Ouch! Thank you! You just saved me a lot of time with this comment.

The love triangle intensity is determined by the writers because unrequited or not, the story can dedicate a few harmless scenes or put the spotlight on the third person and his actions way too often even if they have no hope of being even considered.

Love Triangles..? NOPE
