Only another forgettable filler

Romance City should be called Romance Campus because of where it happened and how small the dimensions of the story and the characters really are.

The plot, if we can call any it a plot is weak. Every problem presented to the characters is irrelevant and have no real consequences for them. You get a group of students studying science that are somehow involved with a club that does not align with their career or goals in life, but for maybe the male lead, and in which case it feels like he is studying the wrong career.

On one hand, you have that FL lies and was bullied when she was younger, and while that is sad, there is nothing more to it besides the fact that she is used to lying and even when she starts dating ML, everything else seems to be more important.

On the other hand, you have the ML with writers block for his comic, but there is no urgency or even the shadow of why it should be important for him to continue his work.

Just like my previous paragraphs feel all out of place, that's how this whole show feels. The production is lacking and the acting is just Okay, but the writing is awful and nothing seems to really happen throughout the story, but for the main leads advancing their relationship.

Yes, this is a romantic drama, so the main point is the romance, but the events around the main lead's lives is what provides depth to their romance.

Maybe a better budget and better writers could have saved this one.

If you are just looking for a filler, you might be Okay, otherwise, stay clear from this below the average show.
