So-So

Writing this review as I watch it.

Episodes 1-6 are great. The whole reason I watched this was for the build-up and FL being disguised as a guy to get into the company. Alright fine. But he found her out around episode 4 or 5. Pretty fast for a 30-episode drama, right? Right. But I could get past that, with the thrill of how he was going to handle it. Though, of course, things happen, and he confronts her, and thus starts the whole " Let me stay here and work for you " part of the drama.

That's fine too, but as you reach episode 7, there's already talk of marriage!? Between the families, esp the ML's family. That's okay too, like let them talk. But FL jumps at the opportunity without even the ML's knowledge. His family got him drunk on purpose to make this happen, and that's the most horrible behavior from parents. I've always hated the arranged marriage crap dramas do, not giving their ADULT children their own options in life. While I know this is very accurate for places outside of America, it still sucks. While I do enjoy when arranged marriage ' blind dates ' get the leads introduced, I hate where they've taken it in this drama.

Now, at this point, I'm already losing interest and starting to feel annoyed with the FL. She's cute and all, but even I find her annoying now. Just because you like someone, it gives you no right to force yourself into their life like you have a rightful claim to them. This drama had me laughing a lot. Now I'm dreading watching past this, but I must carry on. But I'll very likely be fast-forwarding through it now because things are being rushed and I'm not liking either lead atm. So far, the 2nd ML is the most likable.

She wasn't disguised as a boy long enough. They could have spread this concept out in a couple more episodes, and not with him bullying FL, but feeling her out. But no. They just jump the gun and get straight to it, and mind you, we have 22 more episodes, and from the comments I've read, it only gets worse from here with a lot of misunderstandings, ML being horrible, FL being dumb [but finally getting a backbone near the end], etc.

So while I will not spoil any more, this concludes what I wanted to say. Just a warning, from episode 6 it all goes downhill, with a small uphill from here :)

Good luck. You and I need it with this drama.
